Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 8800/8600 module fundamentals

Module removal and switch behavior considerations

If you remove or replace a module in your chassis, you can expect the following results:
• If you replace a module with a different type of module, the system discards the
configuration of the old ports and adds the new ports to either the default VLAN or a null
VLAN, depending on the operating mode of the switch.
• If you remove an interface module from an operating switch and replace it with the same
type of module, the system restores the configuration.
• If you save the configuration in nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM), turn off the
switch, replace a module with a different type of module, and turn the system on again,
the system discards the configuration of the old ports, and then adds new ports to either
the default VLAN or an unassigned VLAN, depending on the operating mode of the
switch.
The abilityof the switch to load configuration files for modules depends on whetherthe module
is present in the chassis. By design, configuration filesdo not completely load if the module is
not installed.
If you boot the switch without modules installed and want to completely load the configuration
files, you can do either of the following:
• Install the module and then reboot the switch.
• Install the module, and source and save the configuration file (which avoids a reboot).

SF/CPU modules

If you replace an 8692SF/CPU or 8895SF/CPU module, all the other modules in the chassis
reset and revert to their saved configuration settings. If you did not save the configuration
settings for a module, the module reverts to factory default settings.

Interface module descriptions

The Ethernet Routing Switch 8800/8600 interface modules support the following types of
interfaces with different speeds and port types:
• 10/100/1000 megabits per second (Mbps) autonegotiating twisted pair Ethernet ports
• 100 Mbps fiber Ethernet ports
• 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) fiber and copper Ethernet ports
