Introduction

This document provides basic information about the Dell Networking MXL

10/40GbE Switch IO Module, including how to install the switch in the Dell

PowerEdge M1000e Enclosure and perform the initial configuration.

For more detailed information about any

of the basic installation steps

, refer to

the

Dell PowerEdge M1000e Enclosure Owner's Manual

on the Dell Support

website at http://support.dell.com/manuals.

Product Description

The MXL 10/40GbE Switch is a layer 2/3 blade switch with two fixed 40GbE

ports on the base module and support for two optional plug-in modules. The

switch operates in a PowerEdge M1000e Enclosure, which can support up to

32 servers and six MXL 10/40GbE Switches.

The MXL 10/40GbE Switch runs the Dell Networking operating system (OS),

providing switching, bridging, and routing functionality for transmitting data,

storage, and server traffic as follows:

• GbE/10GbE connections through the midplane to up to 32 server ports in

the chassis

• GbE, 10GbE, or 40GbE connections through uplink ports to top-of-rack

(ToR) switches

• 40GbE stacking connections to other

MXL 10/40GbE Switche

s in a

switch stack

In a data center network, the MXL 10/40GbE Switch provides converged

network support and interoperates with Dell and third-party ToR devices.

The switch supports

data center bridging (DCB) features, and optimizes

connectivity between servers and storage devices over Fiber Channel over

Ethernet (FCoE) and internet small computer system interface (iSCSI) links.

By providing increased 40GbE bandwidth for device interconnection in a

shared network storage environment, with the possibility of splitting 40GbE

quad small form-factor pluggable plus (QSFP+) uplinks into 10GbE small

form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) connections, the MXL 10/40GbE Switch

is perfectly positioned to help transition a data center with multiple speed

requirements.

8Hardware Overview

Hardware Overview

This section contains information about device characteristics and modular

hardware configurations for the MXL 10/40GbE Switch.

Internal Ports

The MXL 10/40GbE Switch provides thirty-two 1/10-Gigabit Ethernet

internal ports. The internal ports are connected to server blades through the

M1000e chassis midplane. Each port can operate in either 1GbE or 10GbE

mode. Internal ports are numbered 1 to 32.

The MXL 10/40GbE Switch also provides an internal Ethernet interface—the

out-of-band (OOB) interface—which is dedicated to switch management.

The OOB interface is connected to the chassis management controller

(CMC) through the chassis midplane. Traffic on this port is segregated from

operational network traffic on the switch ports and cannot be switched or

routed to the operational network.

Hardware Overview 9

Base Module

The MXL 10/40GbE Switch provides two native 40-Gigabit Ethernet fixed ports

on the base module for uplink connections. You can use these ports with 4x10G

breakout cables to operate as 10GbE uplink ports.

In addition, you can configure the native 40GbE ports as stacking ports. You

can connect up to six MXL 10/40GbE Switches (in the same or different

chassis) in a single stack. For more information, refer to Assembling a Switch

Stack.

FlexIOTM Plug-in Modules

The MXL 10/40GbE Switch (Figure 1-2) provides 10/40GbE external

connectivity by using the following FlexIO plug-in modules in the two

expansion slots:

• 4-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet module using SFP+ optics (SR or LR) or

direct-attach cables (1m, 3m, or 5m DAC)

• 4-Port 10GBASE-T module using RJ-45 connector (copper) cables

NOTE: The 10Mb speed is not supported on the 4-Port 10GBASE-T module.

Only 100Mb, 1GbE, and 10GbE speeds are supported.

• 2-Port 40-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ module which you can use for 40GbE

connections or 10GbE SFP+ connections using 4x10G breakout cables.

By default, the 40GbE ports on a 2-Port 40GbE QSFP+ module come up

in 4x10GbE (quad) mode as eight 10GbE ports. To change a port from

4x10GbE to 40GbE mode of operation, enter the

no stack-unit port

portmode quad

command.

Dell(conf)# no stack-unit unit-number port port-number

portmode quad

stack-unit unit-number

: Enter the number of the stack unit to

be reset. The range is from 0 to 5.

To display the stack-unit number,

enter the

show system brief

command.

port port-number

: Enter the port number of the 40GbE QSFP+

port to be split. Valid values for slot 0: 41 or 45; for slot 1: 49 or 53

(refer to Port Numbering).

portmode quad

: Identifies the port as a split 10GbE SFP+ port.

• Up to two FC Flex IO modules can be inserted on an I/O Aggregator,

thereby enabling up to 32G of FC throughput per module or 64G

throughput per switch. All the ports support 2/4/8G FC and SFP+ optics.

The FC Flex IO modules provide flexibility for pairing with the other

FlexIO modules. The two FC Flex IO modules that offer up to 8 8Gb

Fibre Channel ports for uplink traffic in addition to the fixed two 40GbE

ports on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch and I/O Aggregator.
