Users Guide

• pe-id is a PE ID number from 0 to 255. You must enter a pe-id value; there is no default.
3 (Optional) Provision a C1048P for PE stacking.
PORT-EXTENDER 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. The default value is 0.
• unit-type is a stack-unit type. The only supported value is C1048P.
4 Provisioning a C1048P automatically creates a LAG (port channel) on the C9010. The C9010 LAG member ports are the cascade ports
congured for the PE with the
cascade interface command. The cascade ports must be operationally up (no shutdown
command) and have a default port conguration with no L2 and L3 conguration. The port interfaces must be the same type. You can
congure up to eight C9010 ports in the auto-LAG. The generated auto-LAG number is from 257 to 513.
PORT-EXTENDER CONFIGURATION mode
Dell(conf-pe-0)# cascade interface interface-type slot/port-range
• interface interface-type species a C9010 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface. The only supported value is
TenGigabitEthernet slot/port-range.
• slot/port-range species a C9010 10GbE port, including slot number and either a single port number, a port range, or a
combination of both for auto-LAG conguration.
– The range of slot numbers is from 0 to 11. In line-card slots 0 to 9, the range of port numbers is from 0 to 23; in RPM slots 10
and 11, the range of port numbers is from 0 to 3.
– Enter a port range with or without spaces; for example, cascade interface tengigabitethernet 0/1-5 or
cascade interface tengigabitethernet 0/1 - 5.
– You can enter up to six comma-separated ranges or port numbers; for example, cascade interface
tengigabitethernet 0/1-2,8,10–12,15
.
5 Verify the provisioned conguration on a C1048P.

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