Interface Auto-Configuration<br />

116 | Interfaces<br />

An Aggregator auto-configures interfaces as follows:<br />

• All interfaces operate as layer 2 interfaces at 10GbE in standalone mode. FlexIO module interfaces<br />

support only uplink connections. Only the 40GbE ports on the base module can be used for stacking.<br />

• By default, the two fixed 40GbE ports on the base module operate in 4x10GbE mode with<br />

breakout cables and support up to eight 10GbE uplinks. You can configure the base-module ports<br />

as 40GbE links for stacking.<br />

• The interfaces on a 40GbE QSFP+ FlexIO module auto-configure to support only 10GbE SFP+<br />

connections using 4x10GbE breakout cables.<br />

• All 10GbE uplink interfaces belong to the same 10GbE link aggregation group (LAG).<br />

• The tagged VLAN membership of the uplink LAG is automatically configured based on the<br />

VLAN configuration of all server-facing ports (ports 1 to 32). The untagged VLAN used for the<br />

uplink LAG is always the default VLAN 1.<br />

• The tagged VLAN membership of a server-facing LAG is automatically configured based on the<br />

server-facing ports that are members of the LAG. The untagged VLAN of a server-facing LAG is<br />

auto-configured based on the untagged VLAN to which the lowest numbered server-facing port in<br />

the LAG belongs.<br />

• All interfaces are auto-configured as members of all (4094) VLANs and untagged VLAN 1. All<br />

VLANs are up and can send or receive layer 2 traffic. You can use the CLI or CMC interface to<br />

configure only the required VLANs on a port interface.<br />

• Aggregator ports are numbered 1 to 56. Ports 1 to 32 are internal server-facing interfaces. Ports 33 to<br />

56 are external ports numbered from the bottom to the top of the Aggregator. For port numbering of<br />

Aggregator interfaces in standalone and stacking mode, see Figure 4-2.<br />
