The I/O Aggregator is a zero-touch, layer 2 switch blade with two fixed 40GbE ports on the base module and support for two optional plug-in modules. The Aggregator operates in a Dell PowerEdge M1000e chassis, which can support up to 32 servers and six I/O Aggregator blade switches. The Aggregator runs the Dell Force10 Operating System (FTOS) and autoconfigures as an unmanaged switch with bridging and multiplexing functionality, which transmits traffic as follows:
• GbE/10GbE connections through the midplane to up to 32 server ports in the chassis
• 10GbE connections through uplink ports to top-of-rack (ToR) switches
• 40GbE connections through stacking ports to other I/O Aggregators in a switch stack
In a data center network, the Aggregator functions as a flat layer 2 passthrough switch that interoperates with Dell and third-party ToR devices.
The switch supports data center bridging (DCB) features, and provides seamless connectivity for a Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) server and iSCSI storage data traffic.
In its default operational mode, the Aggregator requires no additional configuration; network connectivity for servers in an M1000e chassis is enabled. By simplifying switch configuration and management, the Aggregator reduces complexity in a data center network.
On the Aggregator, FlexIO plug-in modules (Figure 1-2) operate only as uplinks; stacking is not supported. The following modules are supported in the two expansion slots:
