Users Guide

When you congure an Aggregator to operate in stacking mode (See “Conguring and Bringing Up a Stack” in the Dell Networking
Conguration Guide for the M I/O Aggregator), VLANs are recongured as follows:
If an Aggregator port belonged to all 4094 VLANs in standalone mode (default), all VLAN membership is removed and the port is
assigned only to default VLAN 1. You must congure additional VLAN membership as necessary.
If you had manually congured an Aggregator port to belong to one or more VLANs (non-default) in standalone mode, the VLAN
conguration is retained in stacking mode only on the master switch
When you recongure an Aggregator from stacking to standalone mode:
Aggregator ports that you manually congured for VLAN membership in stacking mode retain their VLAN conguration in standalone
mode.
To restore the default auto-VLAN mode of operation (in which all ports are members of all 4094 VLANs) on a port, enter the auto
vlan command; for example:
Dell(conf)# interface tengigabitethernet 0/2
Dell(conf-if-te-0/2)# auto vlan
To get the default standalone mode congurations:
1. Delete the startup-cong le and reboot the system.
2. Restore to factory default settings.
3. Congure auto vlan command on all the server ports.
Where to Go From Here
You can customize the Aggregator for use in your data center network as necessary. To perform additional switch conguration, 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 VLAN IP address of the management port and
log in to the switch to access the CLI.
If you installed the Aggregator in a stack, you can congure additional settings for switch stacking
In case of a Dell Networking OS upgrade, you can check to see that an Aggregator is running the latest Dell Networking OS version
by entering the show version command. To download a Dell Networking OS version, go to http://support.dell.com.
Refer to the appropriate chapter for detailed information on how to congure specic software settings.
