I/O Ports On Blackdiamond 8806 Msm Module; Configuring Ports On A Switch - Extreme Networks ExtremeWare XOS Guide Manual

When you issue any
slot
slots 5 and 6 with two MSMs) on the BlackDiamond 8810 switch, those commands affect only the data
ports on that slot; the MSMs remain unaffected. When you issue most
those commands affect only the MSM host CPU subsystem; the I/O ports remain unaffected. The sole
exception is that the
reboot msm
If you are working on a switch with dual MSMs and the system fails over to the backup MSM from the
primary MSM, the I/O ports on the original primary MSM are not available during the failover period.
It takes about 2 minutes for the I/O ports on the original MSM to be able to pass traffic once again.

I/O Ports on BlackDiamond 8806 MSM Module

NOTE
You must have at least one MSM in the BlackDiamond 8806 switch.
On the BlackDiamond 8806 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 BlackDiamond 8806 switch is dedicated to MSM use—slot A, or slot 3. Slot
B, or slot 4, 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 8806 switch, which is referred to as slot 3
when working with the data ports. If you have a secondary MSM, that one goes into slot B, which is
slot 4 when you work with the data ports. So, when you work with the data ports on the MSM, you
specify slot 3 if you have one MSM, and slot 3 or 4 if you have two MSMs in the switch.

Configuring Ports on a Switch

NOTE
Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS version 11.2, a port can belong to multiple virtual routers (VRs). See
for more information on VRs.
