Configuring VLANs

By default, in Standalone mode, all aggregator ports belong to all 4094 VLANs and are members of

untagged VLAN 1. To configure only the required VLANs on a port, use the CLI or CMC interface.

You can configure VLANs only on server ports. The uplink LAG will automatically get the VLANs, based on

the server ports VLAN configuration.

When you configure VLANs on server-facing interfaces (ports from 1 to 32), you can assign VLANs to a

port or a range of ports by entering the

vlan tagged or vlan untagged commands in Interface

Configuration mode; for example:

Dell(conf)# interface range tengigabitethernet 0/2 - 4

Dell(conf-if-range-te-0/2-4)# vlan tagged 5,7,10-12

Dell(conf-if-range-te-0/2-4)# vlan untagged 3

Uplink LAG

The tagged VLAN membership of the uplink LAG is automatically configured based on the VLAN

configuration of all server-facing ports (ports from 1 to 32).

The untagged VLAN used for the uplink LAG is always the default VLAN.

Server-Facing LAGs

The tagged VLAN membership of a server-facing LAG is automatically configured based on the server-

facing ports that are members of the LAG.

The untagged VLAN of a server-facing LAG is configured based on the untagged VLAN to which the

lowest numbered server-facing port in the LAG belongs.

NOTE: Dell Networking recommends configuring the same VLAN membership on all LAG member

ports.

Where to Go From Here

You can customize the Aggregator for use in your data center network as necessary. To perform

additional switch configuration, do one of the following:

• For remote out-of-band management, enter the OOB management interface IP address into a Telnet

or SSH client and log in to the switch using the user ID and password to access the CLI.

• For local management using the CLI, use the attached console connection.

• For remote in-band management from a network management station, enter the IP address of the

default VLAN and log in to the switch to access the CLI.

In case of a Dell upgrade, you can check to see that an Aggregator is running the latest Dell version by

entering the show versioncommand. To download Dell version, go to http://support.dell.com
