Before You Start
By following the instructions in the
Dell PowerEdge M I/O Aggregator Getting Started Guide
that is
shipped with the product, you install the Aggregator in a Dell PowerEdge M1000e Enclosure.
The Aggregator installs with zero-touch configuration. After you power it on, an Aggregator boots up
with default settings and auto-configures with software features enabled. This chapter describes the
default settings and software features that are automatically configured at startup. Use the tasks
described in the other chapters to reconfigure the Aggregator for customized network operation.
Default Settings
The I/O Aggregator provides zero-touch configuration with the following default configuration
settings:
•
Default user name (
root
)
•
Password (
calvin
)
•
VLAN (
vlan1
) and IP address for in-band management (
DHCP-assigned
)
•
IP address for out-of-band (OOB) management (
DHCP-assigned
)
•
Read-only SNMP community name (
public
)
•
Broadcast storm control (
enabled
)
•
Unregistered Multicast Packets flooding (
enabled)
•
IGMP snooping in all VLANs except the default VLAN (
enabled
)
•
VLAN configuration (
all ports belong to all VLANs
)
You can change any of these default settings using the CLI. Refer to the appropriate chapter for details.
Other Auto-Configured Settings
After the Aggregator powers on, it auto-configures and is operational with software features enabled,
including:
•
VLANs: All ports are configured as members of all (4094) VLANs. All VLANs are up and can
send or receive layer 2 traffic. For more information, refer to
VLANs
.
•
Data Center Bridging Capability Exchange Protocol (DCBX)
Note:
You can also change many of the default settings using the chassis management
controller (CMC) interface. For information about how to access the CMC to configure an
Aggregator, refer to the
Dell PowerEdge M1000e Enclosure Hardware Owner's Manual
or
Dell Chassis Management Controller (CMC) User’s Guide
