Configuration of MX7000 enclosure with MX740c servers.
Hlw,
I am in trouble with my MX7000 enclosure, as we have changed the network infrastructure. Also, my MX7000 profile has been destroyed due to the MM issue.
I have 2 MX7000 enclosures having 16 servers (MX740c), including 2 MX9116N and 2 MX7116N Fabric Expander Modules. Smart fabric has been configured keeping the IOM module in a separate rack. We are running ESXi on those 16 servers.
Can anyone help me to configure one server with all my uplinks?
On MX9116N, we have connected uplink on ports 41, 33, 35, 31 with separate VLANs on those separate networks.
Can anyone help?

Hello thanks for your interest in Dell products. For your question it is best that you get a quotation for installation. It's out of scope for us online, I'm afraid. In the meantime this may help.

Hlw Young,
Thanks for your help.
I will try to do that.
In the mean time can you answer my below question, if possible?
1. I have separate uplink on port 31, 35 ,33. I have created separate uplink with vlan. Should we select port 31 & 32 ,35 & 36, 33 & 34 on the uplinks? is it necessary?
2. After creating all the uplinks and all the configuration. I have installed esxi on MX740c server and found all the esxi vmnic ports can pass all allowed vlan in the uplinks, is it normal?
BR,

Hello, Once again, I'm afraid online forum isn't the best way to get help in configuring chassis. If you already happen to have a Dell server in warranty, you can also get in touch with your local tech support by raising a ticket here https://www.dell.com/support/incidents-online/en-us/contactus/Dynamic?msockid=02eec40b193f61d40967d131182a6092
