Deploying FCoE (FIP Snooping) on Dell Force 10 MXL
Step by step explanation of Dell Force10 MXL CLI example with multiple port (LAG) uplink to Cisco vPC
configuration.
configure
o
default vlan-id 20 – globally established VLAN 20 as the default VLAN
o
interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/1
o
no shutdown – configures the port as active.
exit – exits interface configuration mode
interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/49
o
port-channel-protocol LACP – configures the port for LACP port-channel
port-channel 5 mode active –sets the port-channel to 5 and sets mode to be active
no shutdown – configures the port as active.
exit – exit from interface configuration mode
interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/50
o
port-channel-protocol LACP – configures the port for LACP port-channel
port-channel 5 mode active –sets the port-channel to 5 and sets mode to be active
no shutdown – configures the port as active.
exit – exit from interface configuration mode
interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/51
o
port-channel-protocol LACP – configures the port for LACP port-channel
port-channel 5 mode active –sets the port-channel to 5 and sets mode to be active
no shutdown – configures the port as active.
exit – exit from interface configuration mode
interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/52
o
port-channel-protocol LACP – configures the port for LACP port-channel
port-channel 5 mode active –sets the port-channel to 5 and sets mode to be active
no shutdown – configures the port as active.
exit – exit from interface configuration mode
interface port-channel 5 – this moves into the port-channel 5 configuration
o
portmode hybrid - configuring portmode hybrid will allow for the native VLAN untagged,
and a tagged VLAN to exist on the port together. This is similar to switchport mode trunk in
industry standard CLI.
Switchport - this configures the port as a layer 2 port.
no shutdown
exit – exit the interface configuration
