C Dell Z9100 Switch

Configuration

The 41xxx Series Adapters support connections with the Dell Z9100 Ethernet

Switch. However, until the auto-negotiation process is standardized, the switch

must be explicitly configured to connect to the adapter at 25Gbps.

To configure a Dell Z9100 switch port to connect to the 41xxx Series Adapter

at 25Gbps:

1. Establish a serial port connection between your management workstation

and the switch.

2. Open a command line session, and then log in to the switch as follows:

Password: admin

3. Enable configuration of the switch port:

Dell> enable

Password: xxxxxx

Dell# config

4. Identify the module and port to be configured. The following example uses

module 1, port 5:

Dell(conf)#stack-unit 1 port 5 ?

portmode Set portmode for a module

Dell(conf)#stack-unit 1 port 5 portmode ?

dual Enable dual mode

quad Enable quad mode

single Enable single mode

Dell(conf)#stack-unit 1 port 5 portmode quad ?

speed Each port speed in quad mode

Dell(conf)#stack-unit 1 port 5 portmode quad speed ?

10G Quad port mode with 10G speed
