Configure Slot - Extreme Networks ExtremeWare XOS Command Reference Manual

configure slot

configure slot <slot> module <module_type>
Description
Configures a slot for a particular I/O module card in a modular switch.
Syntax Description
slot
module_type
Default
If a slot has not been configured for a particular type of I/O module, then any type of module is
accepted in that slot, and a default port and VLAN configuration is automatically generated.
Usage Guidelines
The
configure slot
modular switch you are configuring and the version of ExtremeWare XOS running on the switch.
You can also preconfigure the slot before inserting the module card. This allows you to begin
configuring the module and ports before installing the card in the chassis.
If a slot has not been configured for a particular type of I/O module, then any type of module is
accepted in that slot, and a default port and VLAN configuration is automatically generated. If a slot is
configured for one type of module, and a different type of module is inserted, the inserted module is
put into a mismatch state, and is not brought online. To use the new module type in a slot, the slot
configuration must be cleared or configured for the new module type.
Upon powering up the chassis, or when an I/O module is hot-swapped, ExtremeWare XOS
automatically determines the system power budget and protects the BlackDiamond switch from any
potential overpower configurations. If power is available, ExtremeWare XOS powers on and initializes
the module. When ExtremeWare XOS detects that a module will cause an overpower condition, the
module remains powered down, and is not initialized. An entry is made to the system log indicating
the condition.
Example
The following command configures slot 2 for a 10/100/1000, 60-port, copper module:
configure slot 2 module G60T
