Overview

If a slot has not been configured for a particular type of module, then any type of module is accepted in
that slot, and a default port and VLAN configuration is automatically generated.
After any port on the module has been configured (for example, a VLAN association, a VLAN tag
configuration, or port parameters), all the port information and the module type for that slot must be
saved to non-volatile storage. Otherwise, if the modular switch is rebooted or the module is removed
from the slot, the port, VLAN, and module configuration information is not saved.
