Cli Examples - Dell PowerConnect M6220 Configuration Manual

• Default VLAN tagged traffic should be switched and egress as untagged.
• Tagged traffic that belongs to a user-created VLAN gets switched in that VLAN and egresses as
tagged.
NOTE:
The reserved VLAN ID assigned to a group is also referred to as a default VLAN.
• The hashing algorithm in Simple mode is the same as in Normal mode. In Normal mode, the default
Hashing is based on source + destination MAC address. You cannot change the hash algorithm in
Simple mode. Ports that are already a member of a LAG are external ports that are shown using the
show port-aggregator port summary command. In Simple mode, you can set the LACP mode on a
group, but not on an individual port. Use the show interface status command to check the lag status.

CLI Examples

The following are examples of the commands used for port aggregator.
Example #1: Set the Operational Mode
A user with privilege level 15 can change the operational mode from Normal to Simple and vice versa
with a two-phase process. You select the mode in the first phase and confirm the selection in the second
phase. The selection of the new mode in the first phase would be invalid if you do not confirm the mode
selection within 60 seconds. The mode selected from the user interface is effective only after the next
reload.
Enter the commands to get into Global Configuration mode:
console>enable
console#configure
console(config)#
In the first phase, use the mode simple command from the Global Configuration Mode to select the
Simple mode as the start up mode.
console(config)#mode simple
Warning: Confirm mode selection within 60 seconds using "mode change
confirm" command.
In the second phase, use the mode-change confirm command to confirm the mode selection. This
command must be executed within 60 seconds of executing the mode simple command. The selected
mode is applied as operational mode.
console(config)#mode-change confirm
To select Normal mode as the operational mode, use the no form of mode simple command.
console(config)#no mode simple
