Issue with FN modules

Hi,

What does the CMC show for ports? Have you used the blade i/o manager? http://downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_networking/esuprt_net_blade_intercnts/fn-io-module_deployment%20guide_en-us.pdf

The OS is going to see the internal ports presented to it.

Yes from the web interface of the FN  modules I can see that the 8 internal ports are connected ?

From within esxi it should be connected to the internal ports. Does it have a connection?

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

From the CMC I can see 8 internal ports and 4 external for each io module but from the ESXi installed in the FC630 I can see just 4 external ports the thing I don't understand till now ?

Thank you again.

The internal ports route to specific external ports which is why a blade is only going to see the external ports on the FN module that it is connected to. 

That is clear but the thing needing more clarification is the fact that I can connecet my blade to the externe from the 8 ports but each blade see just 4 ports. An other thing is that the 4 ports seen from each blade from my 4 blades are different (their MAC addresses are different from a blade to anthor one).

Which mode are the modules in? http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/networking/m/networking_files/20440794/download

Starting with Page 19 it shows the mapping of ports.
