Abstract: What is disclosed is a system and method to automatically configure the fanout modes of ports of a switch in a network system. The network node coupled to the port of the network switch is discovered. A plurality of fanout modes for the port is determined. The port is configured with one of the plurality of fanout modes. The system may also use neighboring ports to determine the maximum speed of a network interface card of the network node.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for automatically configuring multiple chassis links in a multi-chassis system using a management controller. The management controller can request and receive switch port data from a plurality of server systems, and a plurality of switches of the multi-chassis system. Based upon received switch port data, the management controller can determine peer link ports for a first switch and a second switch of the plurality of switches; select suitable port groups from a plurality of ports of the first switch and the second switch based upon the received switch port data; and configure ports in each suitable port group as a MC-LAG member port for the corresponding suitable port group.
