The show slot output includes the shutdown configuration. If you configure the module recovery setting to shut down, the output displays an “E” flag that indicates any errors detected on the slot disables all ports on the slot. The “E” flag appears only if you configure the module recovery setting to "shutdown."
Note
If you configure one or more slots for shut down and the switch detects a hardware fault on one of those slots, all of the configured slots enter the shutdown state and remain in that state until explicitly cleared.If you configure the module recovery setting to none, the output displays an “e” flag that indicates no corrective actions will occur for the specified MSM/MM or I/O module. The “e” flag appears only if you configure the module recovery setting to none.
Here's an example from a BlackDiamond 8810 with slot 2 configured for "shutdown":
Slots Type Configured State Ports Flags ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Slot-1 8900-G96T-c 8900-G96T-c Operational 96 MB Slot-2 8900-10G24X-c 8900-10G24X-c Operational 24 MB E Slot-3 8900-40G6X-xm 8900-40G6X-xm Operational 24 MB Slot-4 G48Xc G48Xc Operational 48 MB Slot-5 G8Xc G8Xc Operational 8 MB Slot-6 Empty 0 Slot-7 G48Te2(PoE) G48Te2(PoE) Operational 48 MB Slot-8 G48Tc G48Tc Operational 48 MB Slot-9 10G4Xc 10G4Xc Operational 4 MB Slot-10 Empty 0 MSM-A 8900-MSM128 Operational 0 MSM-B 8900-MSM128 Operational 0 Flags : M - Backplane link to Master is Active B - Backplane link to Backup is also Active D - Slot Disabled I - Insufficient Power (refer to "show power budget") e - Errors on slot will be ignored (no corrective action initiated) E - Errors on slot will disable all ports on slot
Note
In ExtremeXOS 11.4 and earlier, if you configure the module recovery setting to none, the output displays an “e” flag that indicates no corrective actions will occur for the specified MSM/MM or I/O module. The “e” flag appears only if you configure the module recovery setting to none.
