Administrator Guide

To leave INTERFACE mode, use the exit command or end command.
You cannot delete a physical interface.
The management IP address on the D-fabric provides a dedicated management access to the system.
The switch interfaces support Layer 2 trac over the 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. These interfaces can also become part of
virtual interfaces such as VLANs or port channels.
For more information about VLANs, refer to VLANs and Port Tagging. For more information about port channels, refer to Port
Channel Interfaces.
Dell Networking OS Behavior: The Aggregator uses a single MAC address for all physical interfaces.
Layer 2 Mode
On an Aggregator, physical interfaces, port channels, and VLANs auto-congure to operate in Layer 2 mode. Following example
demonstrates about the basic congurations found in Layer 2 interface.
NOTE: Layer 3 (Network) mode is not supported on Aggregator physical interfaces, port channels and VLANs. Only
management interfaces operate in Layer 3 mode.

Management Interfaces
An Aggregator auto-congures with a DHCP-based IP address for in-band management on VLAN 1 and remote out-of-band (OOB)
management.
The Aggregator management interface has both a public IP and private IP address on the internal Fabric D interface. The public IP
address is exposed to the outside world for WebGUI congurations/WSMAN and other proprietary trac. You can statically
congure the public IP address or obtain the IP address dynamically using the dynamic host conguration protocol (DHCP).
Accessing an Aggregator
You can access the Aggregator using:
• Internal RS-232 using the chassis management controller (CMC). Telnet into CMC and do a connect —b switch-id to get
console access to the corresponding Aggregator.
• External serial port with a universal serial bus (USB) connector (front panel): connect using the Aggregator front panel USB
serial line to get console access (Labeled as USB B).
• Telnet/ssh using the public IP interface on the fabric D interface.
• CMC through the private IP interface on the fabric D interface.
The Aggregator supports the management ethernet interface as well as the standard interface on any front-end port. You can use
either method to connect to the system.
