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 five 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.

Next Steps
After you complete the initial provisioning, you can configure L2 software features on the N30xx system from the C9010 console CLI,
including LLDP, 802.1x, LACP, loop detection and BPDU Guard. No other L2 protocols are supported. IP address and L3 protocol
configuration on N30xx ports are not supported. For detailed information, see the
Dell Networking Configuration Guide for C9000 Series
Switches
.
When the N30xx system is online, you can enter the
connect pe
pe-id
command on the C9010 console to remotely log in to the
N30xx CLI. To log in, enter the user name
peadmin
and the password
calvin
. After logging in, you can enter show and stack
renumbering commands on the N30xx system.
