Port Extender Interfaces
You can use a C9010 switch with an attached C1048P, N20xx or N30xx port extender (PE) to expand the port density of the chassis. In
this configuration, the C9010 operates as a controlling bridge for the C1048P, N20xx or N30xx. The C1048P, N20xx or N30xx functions as
a remote line card that is physically connected to, and automatically provisioned by, a C9010 over 10GE links according to the IEEE
802.1BR standard.
After the initial C1048P, N20xx or N30xx software provisioning is performed, you can configure L2 features on the port extenders by
entering CLI commands on a C9010. C1048P, N20xx or N30xx interfaces are identified in the command syntax:
interface peGigE pe-id/pe-stack—unit-id/port-number
• pe-id is a port-extender group ID number from 0 to 255.
• pe-stack-unit-id is a PE stack-unit number from 0 to 7.
• port-number is a port number from 1 to 48 (see Port Numbering).
interface peTenGigE pe-id/unit-number/port-id
• pe-id is a port-extender ID number from 0 to 255.
• unit-number is a PE stack-unit number from 0 to 7
• port-id is from 25 to 28 or 49 to 52 depending on the PE.

For more information on how to configure and use port extenders with C9000 Series switches, see Port Extenders (PEs) and Port
Extender (PE) Stacking. If you use an N20xx or N30xx switch as a port extender, install Dell Networking OS 9.11(0.0) or later. For more
information about the conversion procedure, see the OS Conversion Guide for the N20xx/N30xx Series.
For information about how to install a PE and set up a PE stack, see the C1048P Getting Started Guide, C1048P Installation Guide,
N20xx/N30xx Getting Started Guide, and N20xx/N30xx Installation Guide.
VLAN Interfaces
VLANs are logical interfaces and are, by default, in Layer 2 mode. Physical interfaces and port channels can be members of VLANs. The
supported VLAN range is 1 – 4094.
For more information about VLANs and Layer 2, refer to Layer 2 and Virtual LANs (VLANs).
NOTE:
To monitor VLAN interfaces, use Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based
internets: MIB-II (RFC 1213).
NOTE: You cannot simultaneously use egress rate shaping and ingress rate policing on the same VLAN.
The system supports Inter-VLAN routing (Layer 3 routing in VLANs). You can add IP addresses to VLANs and use them in routing
protocols in the same manner that physical interfaces are used. For more information about configuring different routing protocols, refer
to the chapters on the specific protocol.
A consideration for including VLANs in routing protocols is that you must configure the no shutdown command. (For routing traffic to
flow, you must enable the VLAN.)
NOTE:
You cannot assign an IP address to the default VLAN, which is VLAN 1 (by default). To assign another VLAN ID to
the default VLAN, use the default vlan-id vlan-id command.
