Objectives
This guide describes the supported protocols and software features, and provides configuration instructions
and examples, for the Dell Networking M I/O Aggregator running FTOS version 8.3.17.4.
The M I/O Aggregator is installed in a Dell PowerEdge M1000e Enclosure. For information about how to
install and perform the initial switch configuration, refer to the Getting Started Guides on the Dell Support
website at http://support.dell.com/manuals.

guide is a reference for configuring protocols on Dell Networking systems. For complete information
about protocols, refer to other documentation, including IETF requests for comment (RFCs). The
instructions in this guide cite relevant RFCs, and Standards Compliance contains a complete list of the
supported RFCs and management information base files (MIBs).
