Configuring Slots and Ports on a Switch

To display information about a particular slot, use the following command:
show slot
Information displayed includes:
Module type, part number and serial number.
●
Current state (power down, operational, diagnostic, mismatch).
●
Port information.
●
If no slot is specified, information for all slots is displayed.

I/O Ports on Aspen 8810 MSM Module

NOTE
You must have at least one MSM in the Aspen 8810 switch.
On the Aspen 8810 switch, the MSM module also has eight 1 Gbps fiber SFP GBIC data, or I/O, ports.
You configure these ports exactly as you do any other ports on the switch.
Additionally, one slot on the Aspen 8810 switch is dedicated to MSM use—slot A, or slot 5. Slot B, or
slot 6, is a dual-purpose slot; it can be used for a secondary MSM or for a module consisting solely of
data, or I/O, ports.
The primary MSM must be in slot A in the Aspen 8810 switch, which is referred to as slot 5 when
working with the data ports. If you have a secondary MSM, that one goes into slot B, which is slot 6
when you work with the data ports. So, when you work with the data ports on the MSM, you specify
slot 5 if you have one MSM, and slot 5 or 6 if you have two MSMs in the switch.
When you issue any of the following commands specifying a slot that contains an MSM (slot 5 with one
MSM and slots 5 and 6 with two MSMs) on the Aspen 8810 switch, the command affects only the data
ports on that slot; the MSMs remain unaffected:
●
disable slot
●
enable slot

Configuring Ports on a Switch

On a modular switch, the port number is a combination of the slot number and the port number. The
nomenclature for the port number is as follows:
slot:port
For example, if an I/O module that has a total of four ports is installed in slot 2 of the chassis, the
following ports are valid:
●
2:1
●
2:2
●
2:3
●
2:4
