Effects of Removing
a Module
VLAN Changes
Trunk Changes
When you remove a module and leave the slot empty, a number of
changes occur.
When you remove a module, VLAN changes occur as follows:
If you have a VLAN that includes ports that are associated with the
removed module, those ports are not actually removed from the
VLAN, but transition to the link down state.
Example:
If a VLAN contains ports 1 through 3 in a module in slot 3, removing
the module places ports 1 through 3 in the VLAN in the link down
state.
If there are no remaining ports in the VLAN after you remove the
module, the VLAN summary display lists all ports for the VLAN as
being in the link down state.
See Chapter 14 for more information about VLANs.
When you remove a module, trunk changes occur as follows:
There are no trunking changes to the switch fabric module when you
remove a module. The ports remain in the trunk, but the trunk is
down.
You cannot access the trunk summary display on the module because
it is no longer there.
See Chapter 12 for more information on trunking.
