Configures a slot for a particular I/O module card in a modular switch. On a stack, this command configures a slot for a particular type of node.
|
slot |
Specifies the slot number. |
|
module_type |
Specifies the type of module or node for which the slot should be configured. The list of modules you can enter will vary depending on the type of switch and version of ExtremeXOS you are running. Certain modules are supported only with specific ExtremeXOS Technology Releases. On a stack, module type will be the list of switches that support SummitStack. |
If a slot has not been configured for a particular type of I/O module, then any type of module is accepted in that slot, and a default port and VLAN configuration is automatically generated.
The configure sharing lacp timeout command displays different module parameters depending on the type of modular switch you are configuring and the version of ExtremeXOS running on the switch.
You can also preconfigure the slot before inserting the module card. This allows you to begin configuring the module and ports before installing the card in the chassis.
If a slot has not been configured for a particular type of I/O module, then any type of module is accepted in that slot, and a default port and VLAN configuration is automatically generated. If a slot is configured for one type of module, and a different type of module is inserted, the inserted module is put into a mismatch state, and is not brought online. To use the new module type in a slot, the slot configuration must be cleared or configured for the new module type.
Upon powering up the chassis, or when an I/O module is hot-swapped, ExtremeXOS automatically determines the system power budget and protects the switch from any potential overpower configurations. If power is available, ExtremeXOS powers on and initializes the module. When ExtremeXOS detects that a module will cause an overpower condition, the module remains powered down, and is not initialized. An entry is made to the system log indicating the condition.
On a stack, the module type must be a switch that supports SummitStack.
On a BlackDiamond X8 switch, the following command configures slot 2 for a 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 48-port, fiber module:
configure slot 2 module BDXA-10G48X
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 10.1.
This command is available only on modular switches and SummitStack.
