Configuring a Fallback Option

The set system crossbar-fallback {bus-mode | none} command allows you to configure a fallback option
if the Switch Fabric Module connection fails.
To configure a fallback option for the Switch Fabric Module, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Configure a fallback option for the Switch Fabric
Module.
This example shows how to configure a fallback option to bus-mode:
Console> (enable) set system crossbar-fallback bus-mode
System crossbar-fallback set to bus-mode.
Console> (enable)

Configuring the Switching Mode

To improve performance, you can manually specify which switching mode the system uses. If you have
one or more nonfabric-enabled modules installed in the chassis, configure the switch to use flow-through
mode. If you have only fabric-enabled modules installed, configure the switch to use compact mode.
Nonfabric-enabled modules do not support compact mode.
Note
To configure the switch to use flow-through mode if you have non-fabric enabled modules installed,
perform this task:
Task
Configure the switch to use flow-through mode.
This example shows how to configure the switch to use flow-through mode:
Console> (enable) set system switchmode allow bus-only
Console> (enable)
