About the BlackDiamond 10808 I/O Modules

BlackDiamond 10808 series I/O modules consist of a printed circuit board mounted on a metal panel
that acts as the insertion vehicle in a BlackDiamond 10808 system chassis. The module carrier also
includes ejector/injector levers and captive retaining screws at each end of the module front panel.
NOTE
On the BlackDiamond 10808 switch, the 10 Gbps module (10G6X module) must have the serial number 804405-
00-09 or higher to support untagged frames. To display the serial number of the module, use the
show slot <slot_number> command. (All the modules on the Black Diamond 8800 series of switches, as well as the
Summit X450 switch, support tagged and untagged frames.)
This section describes the BlackDiamond 10808 series I/O modules, including:
G60T Module
●
G60X Module
●
G20X Module
●
10G6X Module
●
10G2X Module
●
10G2H Module
●
No configuration information is stored on the I/O modules; all configuration information is stored on
the MSM(s).
When the BlackDiamond 10808 switch is powered on, the software generates a default configuration for
any slots that contain I/O modules. The default configuration allows the I/O module ports to
participate in the VLAN named default. The default configuration for the I/O module is not preserved
unless you explicitly save the configuration to nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM).
You can configure parameters of the I/O module after it is installed or you can preconfigure a slot for a
certain type of module and configuration. The preconfigured information is applied to the module after
it is inserted. If you preconfigure a slot for a specific module type, and then insert a different type of
module, the module reverts to its default configuration.
NOTE
See the ExtremeXOS 12.0 Concepts Guide and the ExtremeXOS 12.0 Command Reference Guide for more
information about configuring I/O modules.
