Programmable-MUX Mode

Standalone MUX is the zero-touch auto-configuration default mode of the aggregator. If you want the

flexibility to configure different settings, you must change the aggregator to Programmable MUX (PMUX)

mode. PMUX mode provides a limited set of CLI commands to customize the software configuration as

needed.

Configuring and Bringing Up the Programmable-MUX

Mode

After the aggregator is operational in the default standalone mode, perform the following steps:

1. Connect the terminal to the console port on an aggregator. To access the CLI and an aggregator,

enter the following commands:

Password: *****

Dell> enable

Dell# configure

Dell#show system stack-unit 0 iom-mode

Unit Boot-Mode Next-Boot

------------------------------------------------

0 standalone standalone

Dell#

Dell(conf)# stack-unit 0 iom-mode programmable-mux

Where stack-unit 0 defines the default stack-unit number in the initial configuration of a switch.

2. Delete the startup config file.

Dell> delete startup-config

3. Reboot each aggregator by entering the reload command in EXEC Privilege mode:

Dell# reload

If the aggregator is in PMUX mode, repeat these steps for each member.

After system is up, you can see the mode.

Dell#show system stack-unit 0 iom-mode

Unit Boot-Mode Next-Boot

------------------------------------------------

0 programmable-mux programmable-mux

After the aggregator restarts, reconfigure the system with the required settings.
