profile for a physical
component.

Isolating a switching fabric module

You can isolate a switching fabric module from the forwarding plane. An isolated switching fabric
module does not receive any traffic.
Isolating a switching fabric module does not affect operations on the control panel, such as protocol
packet resolution and protocol calculation.

Isolation restrictions and guidelines

CAUTION:
Isolating the only switching fabric module of the switch disables the forwarding feature.
•
Do not reboot the device while a switching fabric module is being isolated.
•
If the switch has multiple switching fabric modules, isolating a switching fabric module decreases the
forwarding bandwidth and reduces the forwarding performance.
If you do not want to use a switching fabric module, remove the module after you isolate the module.
To use an isolated switching fabric module:
1. Use the undo switch-fabric isolate command to cancel the isolation.
2. Reboot the switching fabric module.

Isolation procedure
