Adding an S-PoE Daughter Card to an Existing Configuration

G48Tc and G48Te2 I/O Modules for the BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches.

This section describes how to add an S-PoE daughter card to an EXOS configuration that has already been saved without PoE capabilities.

The example in this section uses the G48Te2 module.

The following output displays the results of the show slot command with slot 4 configured:

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")

To configure a module for the PoE daughter card, follow these steps:

Remove the G48Te2 module.
Attach the PoE daughter card to the G48Te2 module (as described in installation document provided with the daughter card).

Re-insert G48Te2 module with the PoE daughter card attached.

The following output displays the results of the show slot command after the card is attached:

	        D - Slot Disabled
	        I - Insufficient Power (refer to "show power budget")

You can expect to see the following log messages generated by the system after you have attached the card:

<Warn:HAL.Card.Warning> MSM-A: Powering on mismatch card - cfg: G48Te2 actual: G48Te2(PoE)

<Warn:HAL.Card.Warning> MSM-B: Powering on mismatch card - cfg: G48Te2 actual: G48Te2(PoE)

Change the slot module type to include POE by executing the command configure slot 4 module G48Te2 (PoE).

Note

You must configure the slot as (PoE) before the power feature is accessible or enabled.
