command. The cascade ports must be operationally up (
no shutdown
command) and have a
default port configuration with no L2 and L3 configuration. The port interfaces must be the same
type. You can configure 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
specifies a C9010 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface. The only
supported value is
TenGigabitEthernet
slot
/
port-range
.
•
slot
/
port-range
specifies a C9010 10GbE port, including slot number and either a single port
number, a port range, or a combination of both for auto-LAG configuration.
– 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
.

, 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
