Dell PowerEdge FM120x4 Owner's Manual

Standard configuration

In this configuration, the uplink ports from the embedded network switch on a sled and the four uplink ports on the enclosure pass-through modules (PTM) to which the sled maps are configured in a single trunk group or Link Aggregation (LAG). The ports on the external switches to which the enclosure pass-through modules connect must be configured into a single trunk configuration or LAG. Alternatively, spanning tree must be run on the external rack switches to disable three of the four uplink ports.
