Installing or Replacing an MPLS Module
To download an MPLS module software image, use the following command:
download image [<ipaddress> | <hostname> | <filename> {primary |
secondary} slot <slot>
The
download
card inserted into the specified slot. If the image is not compatible, the download
is aborted.
This command is the same command used to download ExtremeWare software images
to MSM modules, but you use the
image file to the MPLS module in the specified slot rather than to the primary or
secondary switch partitions.
Like the MSM module, the MPLS module can store up to two images: a primary and a
secondary image. When you download a new image, you must specify the
space—primary or secondary—where the new image is to be stored. If you do not
specify the image space, the new image is downloaded to the image space that is used
as the load source on the next reboot.
To select which image—primary or secondary—the MPLS module loads on the next
reboot, use the following command:
use image [primary | secondary] {slot <slot>}
Fixing Power-Related Problems
If the LEDs on all other modules are off, verify that the BlackDiamond 6800 series
switch is connected to an appropriate power source and is turned on.
If the LEDs on the new module are off, but the LEDs on other modules are on, try
ejecting and reseating the unpowered module. If the module still does not power up, it
is possible that the available system power is not sufficient to handle the burden of the
added module. To test this condition, temporarily eject an I/O module to see whether
that frees enough power to power up the new card. If it does, you may need to upgrade
the power supply configuration in this BlackDiamond 6800 series switch. See the
BlackDiamond 6800 Series Switch Hardware Installation Guide for more information.
