To configure a set of chassis for a multi-chassis configuration, the following requirements must be followed:
•
Only one NMM per chassis
•
No other management modules can be installed in the chassis (i.e. 10/100M, GX/TM, etc.)
•
Each NMM must have a unique chassis number (see Section 3.4.1.3)
•
Remote OAM must be disabled (see Section 3.4.3.2)
