I/O Ports On Blackdiamond 8810 Msm Module - Extreme Networks ExtremeWare XOS Guide Manual

Configuring Slots and Ports on a Switch
NOTE
For information on saving the configuration, see
You configure the modular switch with the type of input/output (I/O) module that is installed in each
slot. To do this, use the following command:
configure slot <slot> module <module_type>
You can also preconfigure the slot before inserting the module. This allows you to begin configuring the
module and ports before installing the module in the chassis.
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. To clear the slot of a
previously assigned module type, use the following command:
clear slot <slot>
All configuration information related to the slot and the ports on the module is erased. If a module is
present when you issue this command, the module is reset to default settings.
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 BlackDiamond 8810 MSM Module

NOTE
You must have at least one MSM in the BlackDiamond 8810 switch.
On the BlackDiamond 8810 switch (formerly known as Aspen), 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 BlackDiamond 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 BlackDiamond 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.
