3-4: Managing Modules
Many devices have multiple blades or modules used for switching services.
■
■ Some of these modules have their own operating systems and can be accessed
directly for configuration.
Most modules can be power-cycled or reset individually.
■
For some switches, it is possible to power down a module.
■
Viewing Modules
You can use modular switches to effect a more flexible switch configuration. To view the
modules installed on a switch, use one of the following commands:
Supervisor IOS
L2 IOS
These commands show the hardware or module information for the switches.
Accessing Modules
Most modules and ports are configured through the main CLI for the switch. However, a
handful of modules, such as the services modules that are placed in the Catalyst 6500,
contain their own independent operating system and CLI. To access these interfaces, use
the session command:
(privileged)session slot#
The slot# or mod# indicates in which slot or module that the switch card occupies.

Resetting Modules

You can reset modules on an individual basis. Therefore, you can jumpstart a group of
ports without having to reset the entire switch:
(privileged) power cycle module slot
(privileged) show module all
(privileged) show hardware
or
show version
