Blackdiamond 12800 Series I/O Modules; I/O Module Leds - Extreme Networks BlackDiamond 8800 Series Hardware Installation Manual

The MSM-5 and MSM-5R modules have the following features on the front panel:
Console port—The DB9 serial console port is used to connect a terminal, allowing you to perform
●
local management.
Management port—The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet management port allows you to connect an Ethernet
●
cable directly from your laptop to the management port to view and locally manage the switch
configurations. This port can also be used to connect the system to a parallel management network
for administration.
Compact flash—You can insert an external compact flash memory card into this slot. (See
●
for more information about Extreme Networks-supported compact flash cards.)
Reset—Use the Reset button to reset the MSM without removing the module from the chassis.

BlackDiamond 12800 Series I/O Modules

No configuration information is stored on the I/O modules; all configuration information is stored on
the MSMs.
When a BlackDiamond 12800 series switch is powered on, the software generates a default
configuration for any slots that contain I/O modules. The default configuration allows the I/O module
ports to participate in the VLAN named default. The default configuration for the I/O module is not
preserved unless you explicitly save the configuration to NVRAM.
You can configure parameters of an I/O module after it is installed, or preconfigure a slot for a certain
type of module and configuration. The preconfigured information is applied to the module after it is
inserted. If you preconfigure a slot for a specific module type and then insert a different type of module,
the module reverts to its default configuration.
NOTE
See the ExtremeXOS 12.0 Concepts Guide and the ExtremeXOS 12.0 Command Reference Guide for more
information about configuring the modules.
