Interfaces

This chapter describes the interfaces-related enhancements and contains the following sections:

• Enabling the Management Address TLV on All Interfaces of an Aggregator

• Enhanced Validation of Interface Ranges

Enabling the Management Address TLV on All Interfaces

of an Aggregator

The management address TLV, which is an optional TLV and is of type 8, that denotes the network

address of the management interface, is supported by the Dell Networking OS and it is advertised on all

of the interfaces on an I/O Aggregator in the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) data units. You can use

the

show running-configuration command to verify that this TLV is advertised on all of the

configured interfaces and the show lldp neighbors detail command to view the value of this TLV.

Enhanced Validation of Interface Ranges

This functionality is supported on the S4810, S4820T, S6000, Z9000, MXL, and I/O Aggregator platforms.

On the S4810, S4820T, S6000, Z9000, MXL, and I/O Aggregator platforms, you can avoid specifying

spaces between the range of interfaces separated by commas that you configure by using the

interface range command. For example, if you enter a list of interface ranges, such as interface

range fo 2/0-1,te 10/0,gi 3/0,fa 0/0, this configuration is considered valid. In releases of Dell

Networking OS earlier than Release 9.3.0.0, if you enter such a combination of interfaces as a range in a

comma-separated list, without spaces separating the ranges, an error message was displayed. Starting

with Release 9.3.0.0, the comma-separated list is not required to be separated by spaces in between the

ranges. You can associate multicast MAC or hardware addresses to an interface range and VLANs by

using the

mac-address-table static multicast-mac-address vlan vlan-id output-range

interface command.
