Installing RPMs and Line Cards

The C7004/C150 system accommodates four line cards and two route processor modules (RPMs).

The C7008/C300 System accommodates eight line cards and two route processor modules (RPMs).

RPMs

The C-Series system requires at least one RPM; however, Dell Networking recommends two RPMs.

  • One RPM provides 48 Gigabits of bandwidth to each line card.
  • Two RPMs provides 96 Gigabits of bandwidth to each line card.
  • To control airflow for adequate system cooling, personal safety, and EMI containment during operation, blanks are required in empty slots. You must install all chassis slots with operational modules or blanks. Always replace cards and blank panels immediately.
  • The blank panels for RPMs and line cards are different sizes (RPM blanks are smaller); be sure that blank panels are installed in the correct slots.
  • RPMs are hot-swappable. high availability (HA) is supported.
  • If your system contains two RPMs, both RPMs must have the same software image.
  • RPMs are interchangeable between the C7008/C300 and the C7004/C150 only if they are running Dell Networking OS version 7.6.1.0 or later.

DELL C7004 - RPMs - 1

CAUTION: RPMs are designed to be installed in either the R0 or R1 slot. Do not force RPMs into line cards slots. RPMs are keyed differently than line cards to prevent improper installation.

Line Cards

Line cards are hot-swappable. You can insert line card into any line card slot. On the C7004/C150, line card slots are numbered 0 to 3. On the C7008/C300, line card slots are labeled 0 to 7. You can see the slot numbering labels when you install the fan tray.

Configure an IPv4 or IPv6 management route to the network from which you are accessing the system.management route {ipv4-address CONFIGURATION | ipv6-address}/mask gateway

Configure a Username and Password

Configure a system username and password.

Task Command Syntax Command Mode

Configure a username and password to access the system remotely.username username password[encryption-type] passwordCONFIGURATION

Configure the Enable Password

EXEC Privilege mode is accessed by the enable command. Configure a password as a basic security measure. When using a console connection, EXEC Privilege mode is unrestricted by default; it cannot be reached by a VTY connection if you have not configured a password. There are two types of enable passwords:

  • enable password stores the password in the running/startup configuration using a DES encryption method.
  • enable secret is stored in the running/startup configuration by using a stronger, MD5 encryption method.

Dell Networking recommends using the enable secret password.

Task Command Syntax Command Mode

Create a password to access EXEC Privilege mode.enable [password | secret] [level level] [encryption-type] passwordCONFIGURATION

Create a VLAN

The default virtual local area network (VLAN) is part of the system startup configuration, and is by default, VLAN 1. You may make another VLAN the default VLAN. You cannot delete, disable, or configure the default VLAN (you cannot assign it an IP address), and only untagged interfaces can belong to it.

When you configure an interface, a switchport automatically places it in the default VLAN as an untagged interface. All switchports must belong to at least one VLAN, so to remove a switchport from the default VLAN, place it as tagged or untagged in some other VLAN, or remove the switchport configuration.

Task Command Syntax Command Mode
Create a VLAN.interface vlan vlan-idCONFIGURATION
Display all VLANs.show vlan vlan-idEXEC Privilege

Assign Interfaces to a VLAN

A port may either be an untagged member of a single VLAN, or a tagged member of perhaps multiple VLANs.

  • Untagged Ports — ports that do not append an 802.1Q VLAN tag to frames on egress, and do not accept tagged frames on ingress (tagged frames are dropped). You must connect untagged ports to VLAN-unaware devices.
  • Tagged Ports — ports that append an 802.1Q tag to frames on egress, and accept only tagged frames on ingress (untagged frames are dropped). You must connect tagged ports to VLAN-aware devices.

When you configure an enabled port as a switchport, the port is placed in the default VLAN. To remove a switchport from the default VLAN, remove the switchport configuration. To move the port to another VLAN, add it to the desired VLAN as either a tagged or untagged member.

To view just the interfaces that are in Layer 2 mode, enter the show interfaces switchport command in EXEC mode.

Step Task Command Syntax Command Mode

1 Assign a switchport to a VLAN.[tagged | untagged] interface INTERFACE VLAN
2 Display all switchports and the VLANs of which they are members.show vlan EXEC Privilege

Assign an IP address to a VLAN

DELL C7004 - Assign an IP address to a VLAN - 1

NOTE: You cannot assign an IP address to the default VLAN, which, by default, is VLAN 1. To assign another VLAN ID to the default VLAN, use the default vlan-id vlan-id command.

Task Command Syntax Command Mode

Configure an IP address and mask on the interface.ip address ip-address mask [secondary]INTERFACE
