BlackDiamond 8000 Series Modules
The BlackDiamond 8000 series MSMs have the following features on the front panel:
Console port—DB-9 serial port used to connect a terminal and perform local management.
●
Management port—A 10/100 Mbps Ethernet management port used to connect an Ethernet cable
●
directly from your laptop to the switch to view and locally manage the switch configurations. This
port can also be used to connect the system into a parallel management network for administration.
A button—Allows you to select the alternate BootROM image when you power on the module. To
●
use the alternate BootROM image, you must hold the A button while pressing the R button
simultaneously.
D button—Allows you to force a system dump that dumps the debug information into NVRAM.
●
This information is available on the next reboot. No core file is created.
R button—Allows you to reset the MSM without removing the module from the chassis.
●
Compact flash slot
●
In addition, the MSM-G8X has eight SFP data ports. These data ports operate the same as the ports on
the G24X I/O module. (See
The eight data ports are integrated into the MSM and managed by a separate I/O processor, which
retains control of the eight Ethernet ports on the MSM during a failover. The backup MSM can take
control of the ports.
The 8500-MSM24, MSM-48c and 8900-MSM128 modules have a slot for one of the following
option cards:
S-G8Xc—Adds eight 1-gigabit SFP data ports to the MSM. These data ports operate the same as the
●
ports on the G24Xc I/O module. (See
S-10G1Xc—Adds one 10-gigabit XFP data port to the MSM. This data port operates the same as the
●
ports on the 10G4Xc I/O module. (See
Different MSM models have different memory and processing capacity. For details of feature support in
the MSMs, see the ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide.
NOTE
See the ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide and the ExtremeXOS Command Reference Guide for
more information about numbering conventions for the modules and ports, as well as configuration and
display information.
