Port Pipes
A port pipe is a Dell Networking-specic term for the hardware packet-processing elements that handle network trac to and from a set of
front-end I/O ports. The physical, front-end I/O ports are referred to as a port set. The system has 10 switch cards and each card has only
one port pipe and 48 ports in each.
• For ports connected through the port extender, you can have a maximum of 4 sessions system.
