Switch module is a type of interconnect module and is also called interconnect module in this document. Introduction H3C UniServer BX1010E switch module, as an Ethernet switching control unit inside the enclosure, provides data switching for the blade servers. It also provides external data ports to connect the blade servers to the external network.
Ports Port numbering The ports on the switch module are numbered in the format of A/B/C: • A—IRF member device ID. By default, switch modules are not set up in an IRF fabric. The default value of A is 1. Devices with the same member ID cannot set up an IRF fabric.
(3) 25-GE fiber ports (4) 100-GE fiber ports Table 2 External port description Number Port name Port type Quantity Description You can access the AMC CLI of the switch module from the port. The baud rate is 115200 bps. AMC serial port RJ-45 It can be used only by technical engineers to upgrade the AMC firmware version.

firmware is being upgraded from the OM. • Off—The UID LED is not activated. • Steady green/off—A system failure has occurred. • Flashing green (4 Hz)—The system is being loaded. RUN LED (RUN) • Flashing green (1 Hz)—The system is operating correctly. •...
Logical architecture As shown in Figure 5, the switch module contains three logical units: • CPU unit—As the control and management core of the switch module, it is responsible for module management, system configuration, and special packet processing. • AMC unit—As the auxiliary management unit of the switch module, it is responsible for data collection and report, power up/down control of the module, and system monitoring.
