Foundry Switch and Router Installation and Configuration Guide
NOTE: The slots in a 15-slot chassis are divided among 4 internal regions. Slots 1 – 4 belong to the same
region; slots 5 – 8 belong to the same region; slots 9 – 12 belong to the same region, and slots 13 – 15 belong to
the same region. If you are using redundant management modules, Foundry recommends that you place both
management modules in slots belonging to the same region. For example, if you place one management module
in slot 5, Foundry recommends that you place the other management module in slot 6, 7, or 8.
This note does not apply to 4-slot or 8-slot chassis.
Configuring the Chassis to Receive the Module
When you plan to insert a module into a chassis slot, you first must configure the slot to receive the module unless
the slot already contains the same type of module.
USING THE CLI
To prepare slot 1 to receive an eight-port Gigabit redundant management module, enter the following commands
at the global CONFIG level:
BigIron(config)# module 1 bi-8-port-gig-management-module
BigIron(config)# write memory
Syntax: module <slot-num> <module-type>
The <slot-num> parameter specifies the chassis slot to contain the module:
• Slots in a 4-slot chassis are numbered 1 – 4, from top to bottom.
• Slots in an 8-slot chassis are numbered 1 – 8, from left to right.
• Slots in a 15-slot chassis are numbered 1 – 15, from left to right.
The <module-type> parameter specifies the platform and port configuration of the redundant management
module.
NOTE: Module options that begin with "bi" and are for the Management IV module also are applicable to the
NetIron.
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
1. Log on to the device using a valid user name and password for read-write access. The System configuration
dialog is displayed.
2. Click on the Module link to display the Module panel, as shown in the following example.
