Uplink Ports; Stacking Ports; Port Configuration - Dell PowerEdge M IO Aggregator Command Reference Manual

Uplink Ports

Ports 33 to 56 are external ports used for uplinks and numbered from the bottom to the top of the switch as
follows:
• The two base module ports operate by default in standalone 4x10GbE mode and are numbered 33 to 36
and 37 to 40.
• Ports on the 2-Port 40-GbE QSFP+ module operate only in 4x10GbE mode:
• In the bottom expansion slot, ports are numbered 41 to 44 and 45 to 48.
• In the top expansion slot, ports are numbered 49 to 52 and 53 to 56.
• Ports on the 4-Port 10-GbE SFP+ and 4-Port 10GBASE-T modules operate only in 10GbE mode:
• In the bottom expansion slot, ports are numbered 41 to 44.
• In the top expansion slot, ports are numbered 49 to 52.

Stacking Ports

Stacking is supported only on the ports on the base module. When you configure the Aggregator for
stacking, the base module ports operate in 40GbE mode and are numbered 33 and 37. When configured for
stacking, the 40GbE base-module ports cannot be used for uplinks.

Port Configuration

To configure a port, you must specify the slot (0-5; default: 0) and port number (1 to 56) in the interface
port-type slot/port command, where slot is the unit number of the Aggregator displayed in the show
system brief command; for example:
FTOS(conf)# interface tengigabitethernet 0/4
