Page 18: Other Auto-Configured Settings
Other Auto-Configured Settings After the Aggregator powers on, it auto-configures and is operational with software features enabled, including: • Ports: Ports are administratively up and auto-configured to operate as hybrid ports to transmit tagged and untagged VLAN traffic. Ports 1 to 32 are internal server-facing ports, which can operate in either 1GbE or 10GbE mode.
Page 19: Dcb Support
DCB Support DCB enhancements for data center networks are supported to eliminate packet loss and provision links with required bandwidth. The Aggregator provides zero-touch configuration for DCB. The Aggregator auto-configures DCBX port roles as follows: • Server-facing ports are configured as auto-downstream interfaces. •...
Page 20: Link Aggregation
Link Aggregation All uplink ports are configured in a single LAG (LAG 128). Server-facing ports are auto-configured as part of link aggregation groups if the corresponding server is configured for LACP-based NIC teaming. Static LAGs are not supported. Tip: The recommended LACP timeout is long-timeout mode. Link Tracking By default, all server-facing ports are tracked by the operational status of the uplink LAG.
Page 21: Stacking Mode
The untagged VLAN of a server-facing LAG is configured based on the untagged VLAN to which the lowest numbered server-facing port in the LAG belongs. Tip: Dell Force10 recommends that you configure the same VLAN membership on all LAG member ports.
Page 22 In case of an FTOS upgrade, you can check to see that an Aggregator is running the latest FTOS version by entering the show version command. To download an FTOS version, go to http://support.dell.com. Refer to the appropriate chapter for detailed information on how to reconfigure specific software settings.

Page 65: Data Center Bridging (Dcb)
DCB-enabled network is required in a data center. The Dell Force10 switches that support a unified fabric and consolidate multiple network infrastructures use a single input/output (I/O) device called a converged network adapter (CNA).
Page 66: Priority-Based Flow Control
Data center bridging satisfies the needs of the following types of data center traffic in a unified fabric: • LAN traffic consists of a large number of flows that are generally insensitive to latency requirements, while certain applications, such as streaming video, are more sensitive to latency. Ethernet functions as a best-effort network that may drop packets in case of network congestion.
Page 67: Enhanced Transmission Selection
Figure 6-1. Priority-Based Flow Control PFC is implemented as follows in the Dell Force10 operating software (FTOS): • PFC is supported on specified 802.1p priority traffic (dot1p 0 to 7) and is configured per interface. However, only two lossless queues are supported on an interface: one for FCoE converged traffic and one for SCSI storage traffic.
Page 68 Although you can configure strict-priority queue scheduling for a priority group, ETS introduces flexibility that allows the bandwidth allocated to each priority group to be dynamically managed according to the amount of LAN, storage, and server traffic in a flow. Unused bandwidth in a priority-group is dynamically allocated to other priority groups for which traffic is available to be scheduled.
Page 69: Data Center Bridging Exchange Protocol (Dcbx)
Data Center Bridging Exchange Protocol (DCBX) The data center bridging exchange (DCBX) protocol is enabled by default on any switch on which PFC or ETS are enabled. DCBX allows a switch to automatically discover DCB-enabled peers and exchange configuration information. PFC and ETS use DCBX to exchange and negotiate parameters with peer devices.
Page 70: Data Center Bridging: Auto-Dcb-Enable Mode
Data Center Bridging: Auto-DCB-Enable Mode On an Aggregator in standalone mode, the default mode of operation for data center bridging on Ethernet ports is auto-DCB-enable mode. In this mode, Aggregator ports detect whether peer devices support converged enhanced Ethernet (CEE) or not, and enable DCBX and PFC or link-level flow control accordingly: •...

Page 73: Qos Dot1P Traffic Classification And Queue Assignment
Layer 2 class maps: dot1p priorities are used to classify traffic in a class map and apply a service policy to an ingress port to map traffic to egress queues. Note: Dell Force10 does not recommend mapping all ingress traffic to a single queue when using PFC and ETS. Ingress traffic classification using the...
Page 74: How Priority-Based Flow Control Is Implemented
How Priority-Based Flow Control is Implemented Priority-based flow control provides a flow control mechanism based on the 802.1p priorities in converged Ethernet traffic received on an interface and is enabled by default. As an enhancement to the existing Ethernet pause mechanism, PFC stops traffic transmission for specified priorities (CoS values) without impacting other priority classes.
Page 75 Enhanced Transmission Selection is Implemented Enhanced transmission selection (ETS) provides a way to optimize bandwidth allocation to outbound 802.1p classes of converged Ethernet traffic. Different traffic types have different service needs. Using ETS, groups within an 802.1p priority class are auto-configured to provide different treatment for traffic with different bandwidth, latency, and best-effort needs.
Page 76: Ets Operation With Dcbx
• When an ETS output policy is applied to an interface, ETS-configured scheduling and bandwidth allocation take precedence over any auto-configured settings in the QoS output policies. • ETS is enabled by default with the default ETS configuration applied (all dot1p priorities in the same group with equal bandwidth allocation).
Page 77: Dcb Policies In A Switch Stack
DCB Policies in a Switch Stack A DCB input policy with PFC and ETS configuration is applied to all stacked ports in a switch stack or on a stacked switch. DCBX Operation The data center bridging exchange protocol (DCBX) is used by DCB devices to exchange configuration information with directly connected peers using the link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) protocol.
Page 78: Dcbx Port Roles
DCBX Port Roles The following DCBX port roles are auto-configured on an Aggregator to propagate DCB configurations learned from peer DCBX devices internally to other switch ports: • Auto-upstream: The port advertises its own configuration to DCBX peers and receives its configuration from DCBX peers (ToR or FCF device).
Page 79: Dcb Configuration Exchange
Note: On a DCBX port, application priority TLV advertisements are handled as follows: - The application priority TLV is transmitted only if the priorities in the advertisement match the configured PFC priorities on the port. - On auto-upstream and auto-downstream ports: - If a configuration source is elected, the ports send an application priority TLV based on the application priority TLV received on the configuration-source port.
Page 80: Configuration Source Election
Configuration Source Election When an auto-upstream or auto-downstream port receives a DCB configuration from a peer, the port first checks to see if there is an active configuration source on the switch. • If a configuration source already exists, the received peer configuration is checked against the local port configuration.
Page 81: Auto-Detection Of The Dcbx Version
Auto-Detection of the DCBX Version The Aggregator operates in auto-detection mode so that a DCBX port automatically detects the DCBX version on a peer port. Legacy CIN and CEE versions are supported in addition to the standard IEEE version 2.5 DCBX. A DCBX port detects a peer version after receiving a valid frame for that version.
Page 82: Dcbx Prerequisites And Restrictions
Figure 6-7. DCBX Sample Topology DCBX Prerequisites and Restrictions • DCBX requires LLDP in both send (TX) and receive (RX) mode to be enabled on a port interface. If multiple DCBX peer ports are detected on a local DCBX interface, LLDP is shut down. •...
Page 83: Dcbx Error Messages
DCBX Error Messages An error in DCBX operation is displayed using the following syslog messages: LLDP_MULTIPLE_PEER_DETECTED: DCBX is operationally disabled after detecting more than one DCBX peer on the port interface. LLDP_PEER_AGE_OUT: DCBX is disabled as a result of LLDP timing out on a DCBX peer interface. DSM_DCBX_PEER_VERSION_CONFLICT: A local port expected to receive the IEEE, CIN, or CEE version in a DCBX TLV from a remote peer but received a different, conflicting DCBX version.
Page 84: Verifying Dcb Configuration
Verifying DCB Configuration Use the show commands in Table 6-2 to display DCB configurations and statistics. Table 6-2. Displaying DCB Configurations Command Output show dcb [stack-unit unit-number] (Figure 6-8) Displays data center bridging status, number of PFC-enabled ports, and number of PFC-enabled queues.

DHCP Overview Dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) is an application layer protocol that dynamically assigns IP addresses and other configuration parameters to network end-stations (hosts) based on configuration policies determined by network administrators.
Page 98: Dhcp Packet Format And Options
DHCP Packet Format and Options DHCP uses the user datagram protocol (UDP) as its transport protocol. The server listens on port 67 and transmits to port 68; the client listens on port 68 and transmits to port 67. The configuration parameters are carried as options in the DHCP packet in type, length, value (TLV) format;...
Page 99: Assigning An Ip Address Using Dhcp
Assigning an IP Address Using DHCP When a client joins a network: 1. The client initially broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER message on the subnet to discover available DHCP servers. This message includes the parameters that the client requires and might include suggested values for those parameters.
Page 100: Dhcp Client
FTOS Behavior: DHCP is implemented in FTOS based on RFC 2131 and 3046. DHCP Client An Aggregator is auto-configured to operate as a DHCP client. The DHCP client functionality is enabled only on the default VLAN and the management interface. A DHCP client is a network device that requests an IP address and configuration parameters from a DHCP server.
Page 101: Releasing And Renewing Dhcp-Based Ip Addresses

Page 108 To ensure similar Fibre Channel robustness and security with FCoE in an Ethernet cloud network, the Fibre Channel over Ethernet initialization protocol (FIP) establishes virtual point-to-point links between FCoE end-devices (server ENodes and target storage devices) and FCoE forwarders (FCFs) over transit FCoE-enabled bridges.
Page 109: Fip Snooping On Ethernet Bridges
Figure 8-1. FIP discovery and login between an ENode and an FCF FIP Snooping on Ethernet Bridges In a converged Ethernet network, intermediate Ethernet bridges can snoop on FIP packets during the login process on an FCF. Then, using ACLs, a transit bridge can permit only authorized FCoE traffic to be transmitted between an FCoE end-device and an FCF.
Page 110 Dynamic ACL generation on an Aggregator operating as a FIP snooping bridge functions as follows: • Global ACLs are applied on server-facing ENode ports. • Port-based ACLs are applied on ports directly connected to an FCF and on server-facing ENode ports. •...
Page 111: Fip Snooping In A Switch Stack
In case of a failover, the new master switch starts the required timers for the FCoE database tables. Timers run only on the master stack unit. Note: As a best practice, Dell Force10 recommends that you do not configure FIP Snooping on a stacked Aggregator.
Page 112: Fip Snooping On Vlans
FIP Snooping on VLANs FIP snooping is enabled globally on an Aggregator on all VLANs: • FIP frames are allowed to pass through the switch on the enabled VLANs and are processed to generate FIP snooping ACLs. • FCoE traffic is allowed on VLANs only after a successful virtual-link initialization (fabric login FLOGI) between an ENode and an FCF.
Page 113: Fip Snooping Prerequisites
A FIP snooping bridge requires DCBX and PFC to be enabled on the switch for lossless Ethernet connections (refer to Data Center Bridging (DCB)). Dell recommends that you also enable ETS; ETS is recommended but not required. DCBX and PFC mode are auto-configured on Aggregator ports and FIP snooping is operational on the port.

Page 123: Internet Group Management Protocol (Igmp)
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) On an Aggregator, IGMP snooping is auto-configured. You can display information on IGMP by using commands. show Multicast is based on identifying many hosts by a single destination IP address. Hosts represented by the same IP address are a multicast group. The internet group management protocol (IGMP) is a Layer 3 multicast protocol that hosts use to join or leave a multicast group.

IGMP Version 3 Conceptually, IGMP version 3 behaves the same as version 2. However, there are differences: • Version 3 adds the ability to filter by multicast source, which helps the multicast routing protocols avoid forwarding traffic to subnets where there are no interested receivers. •...
Page 126: Joining And Filtering Groups And Sources
Joining and Filtering Groups and Sources Figure 9-4 shows how multicast routers maintain the group and source information from unsolicited reports. 1. The first unsolicited report from the host indicates that it wants to receive traffic for group 224.1.1.1. 2. The host’s second report indicates that it is only interested in traffic from group 224.1.1.1, source 10.11.1.1.
Page 127: Leaving And Staying In Groups
Leaving and Staying in Groups Figure 9-5 shows how multicast routers track and refresh state changes in response to group-and-specific and general queries. 1. Host 1 sends a message indicating it is leaving group 224.1.1.1 and that the included filter for 10.11.1.1 and 10.11.1.2 are no longer necessary.

Page 133: Viewing Interface Information
Viewing Interface Information You can use show commands to view interface status and auto-configured parameters. command in EXEC mode lists all configurable interfaces on the chassis and has options show interfaces to display the interface status, IP and MAC addresses, and multiple counters for the amount and type of traffic passing through the interface.
Page 134 Use the command in EXEC Privilege mode to view which interfaces are enabled for show ip interfaces brief Layer 3 data transmission. In Figure 10-2, the TenGigabitEthernet interface 1/5 is in Layer 3 mode because an IP address has been assigned to it and the interface’s status is operationally up. Figure 10-2.
Page 135: Disabling And Re-Enabling A Physical Interface
Disabling and Re-enabling a Physical Interface By default, all port interfaces on an Aggregator are operationally enabled (no shutdown) to send and receive Layer 2 traffic. You can reconfigure a physical interface to shut it down by entering the shutdown command.
Page 136: Layer 2 Mode
Layer 2 Mode On an Aggregator, physical interfaces, port channels, and VLANs auto-configure to operate in Layer 2 mode. Figure 10-4 shows the basic configuration found in a Layer 2 interface. Note: Layer 3 (network) mode is not supported on Aggregator physical interfaces, port channels, and VLANs.
Page 137: Configuring A Management Interface
The Aggregator supports the management ethernet interface as well as the standard interface on any front-end port. You can use either method to connect to the system. Configuring a Management Interface On the Aggregator, the dedicated management interface provides management access to the system.You can configure this interface with FTOS, but the configuration options on this interface are limited.

Page 140: Vlan Membership
VLAN Membership A virtual LAN (VLANs) is a logical broadcast domain or logical grouping of interfaces in a LAN in which all data received is kept locally and broadcast to all members of the group. In Layer 2 mode, VLANs move traffic at wire speed and can span multiple devices.
Page 141: Port-Based Vlans
Port-Based VLANs Port-based VLANs are a broadcast domain defined by different ports or interfaces. In FTOS, a port-based VLAN can contain interfaces from different stack units within the chassis. FTOS supports 4094 port-based VLANs. Port-based VLANs offer increased security for traffic, conserve bandwidth, and allow switch segmentation.
Page 142: Configuring Vlan Membership
Configuring VLAN Membership By default, all Aggregator ports are member of all (4094) VLANs, including the default untagged VLAN 1. You can use the CLI or CMC interface to reconfigure VLANs only on server-facing interfaces (1 to 32) so that an interface has membership only in specified VLANs. To assign an Aggregator interface in Layer 2 mode to a specified group of VLANs, use the vlan tagged commands.

Page 147: Gbe And 10Gbe Interfaces In Port Channels
Port channels can contain a mix of 100, 1000, or 10000 Mbps Ethernet interfaces and TenGigabit Ethernet interfaces. The interface speed (100, 1000, or 10000 Mbps) used by the port channel is determined by the first port channel member that is physically up. FTOS disables the interfaces that do not match the interface speed set by the first channel member.

Interface Range An interface range is a set of interfaces to which other commands may be applied, and may be created if there is at least one valid interface within the range. Bulk configuration excludes from configuring any non-existing interfaces from an interface range. A default VLAN may be configured only if the interface range being configured consists of only VLAN ports.

Maintenance Using TDR The time domain reflectometer (TDR) is supported on all Dell Force10 switch/routers. TDR is an assistance tool to resolve link issues that helps detect obvious open or short conditions within any of the four copper pairs. TDR sends a signal onto the physical cable and examines the reflection of the signal that returns.
Page 154: Flow Control Using Ethernet Pause Frames
Flow Control Using Ethernet Pause Frames An Aggregator auto-configures to operate in auto-DCB-enable mode (see Data Center Bridging: Auto-DCB-Enable Mode). In this mode, Aggregator ports detect whether peer devices support converged enhanced Ethernet (CEE) or not, and enable DCBX and PFC or link-level flow control accordingly: •...
Page 155: Mtu Size
MTU Size The Aggregator auto-configures interfaces to use a maximum MTU size of 12,000 bytes. If a packet includes a Layer 2 header, the difference in bytes between the link MTU and IP MTU must be enough to include the Layer 2 header. For example, for VLAN packets, if the IP MTU is 1400, the link MTU must be no less than 1422: 1400-byte IP MTU + 22-byte VLAN Tag = 1422-byte link MTU The MTU range is 592-12000, with a default of 1554.
Page 156: Auto-Negotiation On Ethernet Interfaces
Auto-negotiation is the easiest way to accomplish these settings, as long as the remote interface is capable of auto-negotiation. Note: As a best practice, Dell Force10 recommends keeping auto-negotiation enabled. Auto-negotiation should only be disabled on switch ports that attach to devices not capable of supporting negotiation or where connectivity issues arise from interoperability issues.

Page 169: How The Lacp Is Implemented On An Aggregator
Note: A link aggregation group is referred to as a port channel by the Dell Force10 operating software A LAG provides both load-sharing and port redundancy across stack units. An Aggregator supports LACP for the auto-configuration of dynamic LAGs.
Page 170: Server-Facing Lags
Server-Facing LAGs Server-facing ports are configured as individual ports by default. If a server NIC is configured for LACP-based NIC teaming, server-facing ports are automatically configured as part of dynamic LAGs. The LAG range 1 to127 is reserved for server-facing LAGs. Once the Aggregator receives LACPDU from server-facing ports, the information embedded in the LACPDU (remote-system ID and port key) is used to form a server-facing LAG.
Page 171: Lacp Example
LACP Example Figure 12-1 shows an example of how LACP operates in an Aggregator stack by auto-configuring the uplink LAG 128 for the connection to a ToR switch and a server-facing LAG for the connection to an installed server that is configured for LACP-based NIC teaming. Figure 12-1.

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) An Aggregator auto-configures to support the link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) for the auto-discovery of network devices. You can use CLI commands to display acquired LLDP information, clear LLDP counters, and debug LACP operation. Overview LLDP—defined by IEEE 802.1AB—is a protocol that enables a local area network (LAN) device to advertise its configuration and receive configuration information from adjacent LLDP-enabled LAN infrastructure devices.

Page 199: Port Monitoring
Port Monitoring The Aggregator supports user-configured port monitoring. See Configuring Port Monitoring for the configuration commands to use. Port monitoring copies all incoming or outgoing packets on one port and forwards (mirrors) them to another port. The source port is the monitored port (MD) and the destination port is the monitoring port (MG).
Page 200: Port Monitoring
Port Monitoring The Aggregator supports multiple source-destination statements in a monitor session, but there may only be one destination port in a monitoring session (Message Message 2 One Destination Port in a Monitoring Session Error Message % Error: Only one MG port is allowed in a session.

Page 217: Stacking
A stack of Aggregators operates as a virtual chassis with management units (primary and standby) and member units. The Dell Force10 operating software (FTOS) elects a primary (master) and secondary (standby) management unit. The forwarding database resides on the master switch; the standby unit maintains a synchronized local copy.

From Stack master you can configure: •...
Page 219: Stack Master Election
Stack Master Election The stack elects a master and standby unit at bootup time based on MAC address. The unit with the higher MAC value becomes master. To view which switch is the stack master, use the command. Figure 17-16 shows sample show system output from an established stack.
Page 220: Mac Addressing
MAC Addressing All port interfaces in the stack use the MAC address of the management interface on the master switch. The MAC address of the chassis in which the master Aggregator is installed is used as the stack MAC address. The stack continues to use the master’s chassis MAC address even after a failover.
Page 221: Stacking Port Numbers
Stacking Port Numbers By default, each Aggregator in Standalone mode is numbered stack-unit 0. Stack-unit numbers are assigned to member switches when the stack comes up.

8.3.17.0. To check the FTOS version that a switch is running, use the command. To show version download an FTOS version, go to http://support.dell.com. • Stacking is supported only with other Aggregators. A maximum of two Aggregators is supported in a single stack.
Page 223: Cabling Procedure
Cabling Procedure The following cabling procedure uses the stacking topology in Figure 17-15. To connect the cabling: 1. Connect a 40GbE base port on the first Aggregator to a 40GbE base port on another Aggregator in the same chassis. 2. Connect a 40GbE base port on the second Aggregator to a 40GbE port on the first Aggregator. The resulting ring topology allows the entire stack to function as a single switch with resilient fail-over capabilities.
Page 224: Adding A Stack Unit
Note: If the stacked switches all reboot at approximately the same time, the switch with the highest MAC address is automatically elected as the master switch. The switch with the next highest MAC address is elected as standby. As each switch joins the stack, it is assigned the lowest available stack-unit number from 0 to 5. The default configuration of each stacked switch is stored in the running configuration of the stack.

Setting the Time for the Software Clock You can change the order of the month and day parameters to enter the time and date as time day month year. You cannot delete the software clock. The software clock runs only when the software is up. The clock restarts, based on the hardware clock, when the switch reboots.
Page 241: Setting The Time Zone
Setting the Time Zone Universal time coordinated (UTC) is the time standard based on the International Atomic Time standard, commonly known as Greenwich Mean time. When determining system time, you must include the differentiator between the UTC and your local timezone. For example, San Jose, CA is the Pacific Timezone with a UTC offset of -8.

Page 245: Uplink Failure Detection (Ufd)
Uplink Failure Detection (UFD) Uplink failure detection (UFD) is enabled by default on the Aggregator. Note: Uplink failure detection is also referred to as link tracking. UFD provides detection of the loss of upstream connectivity and, if used with NIC teaming, automatic recovery from a failed link.
Page 246: How Uplink Failure Detection Works
Figure 20-1. Uplink Failure Detection How Uplink Failure Detection Works UFD creates an association between upstream and downstream interfaces. The association of uplink and downlink interfaces is called an uplink-state group. An interface in an uplink-state group can be a physical interface or a port-channel (LAG) aggregation of physical interfaces.
Page 247: Ufd And Nic Teaming
Figure 20-2. Uplink Failure Detection Example If only one of the upstream interfaces in an uplink-state group goes down, a specified number of downstream ports associated with the upstream interface are put into a link-down state. This number is user-configurable and is calculated by the ratio of upstream port bandwidth to downstream port bandwidth in the same uplink-state group.
Page 248: Important Points To Remember
Important Points to Remember UFD operates as follows on an Aggregator: • Uplink-state group 1 is created by default with the uplink LAG 128 as the upstream interface and all server ports as downstream interfaces. When the uplink LAG goes down, all server interfaces are brought down and placed in UFD error-dis- abled state.
Page 249: Disabling Uplink Failure Detection
Disabling Uplink Failure Detection In some network topologies, you may prefer that downstream links on an Aggregator remain opera- tionally up and continue transmitting traffic without being automatically disabled when connectivity to an upstream switch/router goes down. When UFD is enabled and the upstream connectivity on LAG 128 fails, downstream links are also dis- abled.

Page 258: Debugging Aggregator Operation
Debugging Aggregator Operation This section describes common troubleshooting procedures to use for error conditions that may arise during Aggregator operation. All interfaces on the Aggregator are operationally down Symptom: All Aggregator interfaces are down. Resolution: Ensure that port channel 128 is up and that the Aggregator-facing port channel on the top-of-rack switch is correctly configured.
Page 259: Broadcast, Unknown Multicast, And Dlf Packets Are Switched At A Very Low Rate
Broadcast, unknown multicast, and DLF packets are switched at a very low rate Symptom: Broadcast, unknown multicast, and DLF packets are switched at a very low rate. By default, broadcast storm control is enabled on an Aggregator and rate limits the transmission of broadcast, unknown multicast, and DLF packets to 1Gbps.
Page 260: Flooded Packets On All Vlans Are Received On A Server
Flooded packets on all VLANs are received on a server Symptom: All packets flooded on all VLANs on an Aggregator are received on a server, even if the server is configured as a member of only a subset of VLANs. This behavior happens because all Aggregator ports are, by default, members of all (4094) VLANs.
Page 261: Auto-Configured Vlans Do Not Exist On A Stacked Aggregator
Auto-configured VLANs do not exist on a stacked Aggregator Symptom: When an Aggregator is configured and used in a stack, traffic does not flow and the VLAN auto-configuration on all ports is lost. This behavior happens because an Aggregator in stacking mode does not support auto-configured VLANs.

Page 264: Offline Diagnostics
Offline Diagnostics The offline diagnostics test suite is useful for isolating faults and debugging hardware.The diagnostics tests are grouped into three levels: • Level 0—Level 0 diagnostics check for the presence of various components and perform essential path verifications. In addition, they verify the identification registers of the components on the board. •...
Page 265: Trace Logs
FTOS# Trace Logs In addition to the syslog buffer, the Dell Force10 operating software (FTOS) buffers trace messages which are continuously written by various FTOS software tasks to report hardware and software events and status information. Each trace message provides the date, time, and name of the FTOS process. All messages are stored in a ring buffer and can be saved to a file either manually or automatically upon failover.

Page 271: Buffer Tuning
The simple network management protocol (SNMP) traps and OIDs in Table 22-3 provide information about environmental monitoring hardware and hardware components. Table 22-3. SNMP Traps and OIDs OID String OID Name Description Receiving power .1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3.10.1.2.5.1.6 chSysPortXfpRecvPower OID to display the receiving power of the connected optics.
Page 272 All ports support eight queues, four for data traffic and four for control traffic. All eight queues are tunable. Physical memory is organized into cells of 128 bytes. The cells are organized into two buffer pools—a dedicated buffer and a dynamic buffer. •...
Page 273: Deciding To Tune Buffers
Deciding to Tune Buffers Dell Force10 recommends exercising caution when configuring any non-default buffer settings, as tuning can significantly affect system performance. The default values work for most cases. As a guideline, consider tuning buffers if traffic is very bursty (and coming from several interfaces). In this case: •...
Page 274 You cannot allocate more than the available memory for the dedicated buffers. If the system determines that the sum of the configured dedicated buffers allocated to the queues is more than the total available memory, the configuration is rejected, returning a syslog message similar to the following. Table 22-4.

Page 276: Using A Pre-Defined Buffer Profile
Using a Pre-Defined Buffer Profile FTOS provides two pre-defined buffer profiles, one for single-queue (for example, non-QoS) applications, and one for four-queue (for example, QoS) applications. Task Command Mode Apply one of two pre-defined buffer profiles for all port buffer-profile global [1Q|4Q] CONFIGURATION pipes in the system.
Page 277: Sample Buffer Profile Configuration
Sample Buffer Profile Configuration The two general types of network environments are sustained data transfers and voice/data. Dell Force10 recommends a single-queue approach for data transfers (Figure 22-12). Figure 22-12. Single Queue Application with Default Packet Pointers buffer-profile fp fsqueue-fp...
