Page 25: Introduction
PowerConnect 5316M and the Dell Modular Server System The Dell Modular Server System is based upon the chassis that integrates up to ten Server Modules, up to four I/O modules (including the Ethernet Switch Module), and one or two system management modules called the Dell Remote Access Controller / Modular Chassis (DRAC/MC).
Page 26: Features
Figure 1-1. PowerConnect 5316M Front Panel Features This section describes the Ethernet Switch Module user-configured features. For a complete list of all updated Ethernet Switch Module features, see the latest software version Release Notes. General Features Head of Line Blocking Head of Line (HOL) blocking results in traffic delays and frame loss caused by traffic competing for the same egress port resources.
Page 27: Mac Address Supported Features
Virtual Cable Testing (VCT) VCT detects and reports copper link cabling occurrences, such as open cables and cable shorts. MDI/MDIX Support The Ethernet Switch Module automatically detects whether the cable connected to an RJ-45 port is crossed or straight through. Standard wiring for end stations is Media-Dependent Interface (MDI) and the standard wiring for hubs and switches is known as Media-Dependent Interface with Crossover (MDIX).
Page 28: Layer 2 Features
VLAN-aware MAC-based Switching The Ethernet Switch Module always performs VLAN-aware bridging. Classic bridging(IEEE802.1D) is not performed, where frames are forwarded based only on their destination MAC address. However, a similar functionality may be configured for untagged frames. Addresses are associated with ports by learning them from the incoming frames source address. This is done by the CPU.
Page 29: Vlan Supported Features
VLAN Supported Features VLAN Support VLANs are collections of switching ports that comprise a single broadcast domain. Packets are classified as belonging to a VLAN based on either the VLAN tag or based on a combination of the ingress port and packet contents. Packets sharing common attributes can be grouped in the same VLAN.
Page 30: Link Aggregation
Fast Link STP can take up to 30-60 seconds to converge. During this time, STP detects possible loops, allowing time for status changes to propagate and for relevant Ethernet Switch Modules to respond. 30-60 seconds is considered too long of a response time for many applications. The Fast Link option bypasses this delay, and can be used in network topologies where forwarding loops do not occur.
Page 31: Layer 3 Features
Layer 3 Features Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) converts IP addresses into physical addresses, and maps the IP address to a MAC address. ARP allows a host to communicate with other hosts only when the IP address of its neighbors is known. For more information, see "Configuring ARP."...
Page 32: Figure
Web Based Management With web based management, the system can be managed from any web browser. The system contains an Embedded Web Server (EWS), which serves HTML pages, through which the system can be monitored and configured. The system internally converts web-based input into configuration commands, MIB variable settings and other management-related settings.
Page 33: Security Features
SNTP The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) assures accurate network Ethernet Switch Module clock time synchronization up to the millisecond. Time synchronization is performed by a network SNTP server. Time sources are established by Stratums. Stratums define the distance from the reference clock.
Page 34: Port Default Settings
Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol that provides a secure, remote connection to a Ethernet Switch Module. SSH version 2 is currently supported. The SSH server feature enables an SSH client to establish a secure, encrypted connection with a Ethernet Switch Module. This connection provides functionality that is similar to an inbound telnet connection.
Page 35: Hardware Description
Ethernet Switch Module Port Configurations PowerConnect 5316M Front Panel Port Description The PowerConnect 5316M Ethernet Switch Module contains 6 external Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000 Base-T ports on the front panel for connecting to a network, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet internal ports for connecting the embedded network controllers on the PowerEdge Server Modules.
Page 36: Led Definitions
• Depth — 251.2 mm LED Definitions The front panel contains light emitting diodes (LED) that indicate the status of links, and switch diagnostics. Port LEDs 10/100/1000 Base-T Port LEDs Each 10/100/1000 Base-T port has two LEDs. Speed/link/activity is indicated on the left LED and the duplex mode is indicated on the right LED.
Page 37: Port Connections, Cables, And Pinout Information
NOTE: If there is an error and the identification function is activated, the LED still functions as an identification LED. The LED can only be disabled by the DRAC/MC with a 255 seconds timeout. If an error occurs, the LED for error reporting will always be flashing and cannot be disabled. The following table describes the system LED indications.

Page 42: Ethernet Controller Enumeration
To maintain proper system cooling, each module bay must contain either a module or end-cap (blank plug). The four Chassis I/O module bays are located at the rear panel of the Dell Modular Server Chassis. Although Ethernet Switch Module can be inserted in every I/O module bay it is important to understand that not all of the bays are neccessarily intended for the Ethernet Switch Modules.
Page 43: System Reliability Considerations
NOTICE: To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that: • Each of the module bays on Dell Modular Server Chassis has either a module or end-cap (blank plug) installed. • A removed hot-swap module is replaced with an identical module or end-cap (blank plug) within 1 minute of removal.

If an error is displayed, or the green system LED is flashing, stop the installation process and contact Dell technical support. Connecting Network to an Ethernet Switch Module To connect to an uplink port, use Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables with RJ-45 connectors at both ends.
Page 53: External Port Default Settings
(MDI/MDIX) operation under auto-negotiation mode, so standard straight-through twisted-pair cables can be used to connect to any other network Ethernet module (systems, servers, switches or routers) that supports auto-negotiation. NOTE: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This will damage the Ethernet Switch Module.
Page 54: Mdi/Mdix
MDI/MDIX The Ethernet Switch Module supports auto-detection of straight through and crossed cables on all switching 10/100/1000 Base-T ports. The feature is enabled when Auto-negotiation is enabled, and auto MDI/MDIX is automatically disabled if the auto-negotiation is disabled. In this scenario, the correct cable must be used.

MD5 verifies the integrity of the communication, authenticates the origin of the communication. Media Dependent Interface. A cable used for end stations. MDIX Media Dependent Interface with Crossover (MDIX).
Page 327 PING Packet Internet Groper. Verifies if a specific IP address is available. A packet is sent to another IP address and waits for a reply. Port Physical ports provide connecting components that allow microprocessors to communicate with peripheral equipment. Port Mirroring Monitors and mirrors network traffic by forwarding copies of incoming and outgoing packets from one port to a monitoring port.
Page 328 RSTP Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol. Detects and uses network topologies that allow a faster convergence of the spanning tree, without creating forwarding loops. Running Configuration File Contains all startup configuration file commands, as well as all commands entered during the current session. After the switch module is powered down or rebooted, all commands stored in the Running Configuration file are lost.
Page 329 Subnet Sub-network. Subnets are portions of a network that share a common address component. On TCP/IP networks, Ethernet switch modules that share a prefix are part of the same subnet. For example, all Ethernet switch modules with a prefix of 157.100.100.100 are part of the same subnet. Subnet Mask Used to mask all or part of an IP address used in a subnet address.
Page 330 Wide Area Networks. Networks that cover a large geographical area. Wildcard Mask Specifies which IP address bits are used, and which bits are ignored. A wild switch module mask of 255.255.255.255 indicates that no bit is important. A wildcard of 0.0.0.0 indicates that all the bits are important. For example, if the destination IP address 149.36.184.198 and the wildcard mask is 255.36.184.00, the first two bits of the IP address are used, while the last two bits are ignored.
