NOTE:
Provisioning a PE automatically creates a link aggregation group (LAG or port channel) on the
controlling bridge. The generated auto-LAG number is from 257 to 513. All cascade ports configured
on the control bridge to connect to the PE become member ports of the auto-LAG.

(Optional) Provision a C1048P for port-extender stacking. You can pre-provision a C1048P so that the
parent C9010 dynamically discovers and automatically provisions the PE as a stack unit.
CONFIGURATION mode
Dell(conf-pe-0)# stack-unit unit-id type unit-type
•
unit-id is a stack-unit ID number from 0 to 7.
•
unit-type is a stack-unit type. The only supported value is C1048P.

NOTE:
If the status of a port extender is not online, communication with the attached C9010 was
unsuccessful, possibly due to a mismatch in software version (SVM) or another communication error. Wait
five minutes for an auto-upgrade of the port extender to be performed. If the status does not change to
online, contact Dell Networking support at
