Frequently Asked Questions

What are the required components for expanding a C9010 chassis?

You can add up to three PSUs for redundancy or additional power, and half-width line cards like 6-Port QSFP+ or 24-Port SFP+.

How many port extenders can be connected to a C9010 switch?

You are able to connect up to 40 C1048P, N20xx, or N30xx port extenders (standalone and stacked) to one C9010 switch.

What happens if I use non-Dell qualified optics in the system ports?

The Dell Networking OS detects them and makes them operational, but performance is not guaranteed by Dell Networking.

How do I locate a specific port extender (P.E.) within a stack?

Use the command `pe pe-id stack-unit unit-number {on|off}` to illuminate the Power/Locator LED on the P.E.
