Converged 1/10/40Gb Ethernet switch with up to 56-10GE ports (32 internal), converged iSCSI and FCoE (transit to ToR), 320Gb stacking of up to 6 switches, FlexIO technology, and PVST+ industry standard spanning tree. 32 internal 10GE ports provide full redundancy to the M420 blade on fabric A. 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:
