This chapter describes TenGigabit Ethernet interface types, both physical and logical, and how to
configure them with the Dell Networking Operating Software (OS).
Basic Interface Configuration

• Layer 2 Mode
• Management Interfaces
• VLAN Membership
• Port Channel Interfaces
Advanced Interface Configuration
• Monitor and Maintain Interfaces
• Flow Control Using Ethernet Pause Frames
• MTU Size
• Auto-Negotiation on Ethernet Interfaces
• Viewing Interface Information
Interface Auto-Configuration
An Aggregator auto-configures interfaces as follows:
• Aggregator ports are numbered 1 to 12. Ports 1 to 8 are internal server-facing interfaces. Ports 9 to 12
are uplink ports.
• All 10GbE uplink interfaces belong to the same 10GbE link aggregation group (LAG).
– The tagged Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) membership of the uplink LAG is automatically
configured based on the VLAN configuration of all server-facing ports (ports 1 to 8). The untagged
VLAN used for the uplink LAG is always the default VLAN 1.
– The tagged VLAN membership of a server-facing LAG is automatically configured based on the
server-facing ports that are members of the LAG. The untagged VLAN of a server-facing LAG is
auto-configured based on the untagged VLAN to which the lowest numbered server-facing port in
the LAG belongs.
