Managing General System Settings 251Default General System InformationBy default, no system information or time information is configured, and theSNTP client is disabled. The default SDM Template applied to the switch isthe Dual IPv4-IPv6 template. Simple mode is disabled by default on thePowerConnect M6220, M6348, and M8024 switches. Simple mode is enabledby default on the PowerConnect M8024-k switch.Default Port Aggregator ConfigurationsWhen Simple mode is enabled, the Port Aggregator feature is available anddefault Port Aggregation (PA) group is configured on each switch. It includesall internal ports and the external ports they map to. The external ports in thePA group form a Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) trunk group;therefore, like LACP groups, PA groups are limited to eight external memberports.For M6220 and M6348 stacked switches, each unit in the stack has a defaultPA group. The default groups include the following ports:• M6220 — Internal ports (Gi1/0/1 – Gi1/0/16) and all fixed front-panel 1Gports (Gi1/0/17 – Gi1/0/20).• M8024 and M8024-k — Internal ports (Te1/0/1 –Te1/0/16) and all front-panel ports (Te1/0/17 - Te1/0/24).• M6348 — Internal ports (Gi1/0/1 – Gi1/0/32) and the first eight front-panel ports (Gi1/0/33 – Gi1/0/40).Table 11-4, Table 11-5, and Table 11-6 show the default Port AggregatorGroup mappings for the PowerConnect M6220, M6348, M8024, andM8024-k switches.NOTE: In the default configuration, any external ports that do not belong to thedefault PA group do not participate in any VLAN. Therefore, the external portsthat are not in the default PA groups cannot switch traffic.
