Next Steps

If you installed the MXL 10/40GbE Switch in a stack, you can configure additional settings for switch stacking.

For information about how to create different stacking scenarios, refer to the Ethernet Stacking white paper on the Dell Support and Dell Networking White Papers websites at:

http://support.dell.com/manuals http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/networking/w/wiki/networking- whitepapers.aspx

For information about how to configure stacking, refer to the User’s Configuration Guide for the Dell Force10 MXL 10/40 GbE Switch IO Module on the Dell Support website at http://support.dell.com/manuals.

•You can customize the MXL 10/40GbE Switch for use in your data center network by configuring software features as necessary. To perform additional switch configuration, do one of the following:

•For remote out-of-band management, enter the OOB management interface IP address into a Telnet or SSH client and log in to the switch using the user ID and password to access the CLI.

•For local management, use the attached console connection to log in to the CLI.

•For remote in-band management from a network management station, enter the VLAN IP address of the management port and log in to the switch to access the CLI.

For information about how to configure software settings, refer to the User’s Configuration Guide for the Dell Force10 MXL 10/40 GbE Switch IO Module on the Dell Support website at http://support.dell.com/manuals.
