About this Guide
This guide describes the supported protocols and software features, and provides conguration instructions and examples, for the
Dell Networking M I/O Aggregator running Dell Networking OS version 9.7(0.0).
The MI/O Aggregator is installed in a Dell PowerEdge M I/O Aggregator. For information about how to install and perform the initial
switch conguration, refer to the
Getting Started Guides on the Dell Support website at http://www.dell.com/support/manuals
Though this guide contains information about protocols, it is not intended to be a complete reference. This guide is a reference for
conguring protocols on Dell Networking systems. For complete information about protocols, refer to other documentation, including

complete list of the supported RFCs and management information base les (MIBs).
NOTE: You can perform some of the conguration tasks described in this document by using either the Dell command
line or the chassis management controller (CMC) graphical interface. Tasks supported by the CMC interface are shown
with the CMC icon: CMC
