show slot

show slot {slot {detail} | detail }

Description

Displays the slot-specific information.

Syntax Description

slot Specifies a slot on a modular switch or SummitStack.
detail Specifies detailed port information.

Default

N/A.

Usage Guidelines

The show slot command displays the following information:
  • The slot number.
  • The type of module installed in the slot.
  • The type of module configured for the slot.
  • The state of the module, whether the power is down, if the module is operational, if a diagnostic being run, if there is a mismatch between the slot configuration and the module in the slot.
  • The number of ports on the module.
  • The current number of times the module has been restarted after a failure and the configured restart-limit.
    Note

    Note

    You may see slightly different information displayed depending on the platform and configuration you are using.

If you do not specify a slot number, information for all slots is displayed.

The display also includes a notice of insufficient power, should that arise.

The show slot command displays the following states, among others:
  • Empty. (BlackDiamond 8800 series switch only—This also displays if you have a module in the chassis that is unsupported by the current software you are running.)
  • Down.
  • Power ON.
  • Powered OFF.
  • Booting.
  • Initializing.
  • VLAN sync.
  • FDB sync.
  • ACL sync.
  • RT sync.
  • Operational.

Show slot command on a SummitStack

The output of the show slot command is different for a SummitStack. The output of this command displays eight rows. If a node in the Active Topology is not assigned a slot number, the state of the slot is shown as Empty. A node that shows as a slot has successfully joined the active topology. This means, ExtremeXOS software can communicate with this node and does not mean that the node has been successfully brought up. The card state in the display indicates whether the slot was successfully started. If the card state is Operational, then the node is being used in the stack to carry user data as configured.

The output of the command displays the slot number, type of the Summit in that slot, state of the slot, and the number of ports.

The number of ports does not include the stacking links. It includes the option card ports regardless of whether the option card is installed.

This command is not available on Summit family switches operating in non stacking mode.

Example

You see slightly different displays, depending on the platform.

BlackDiamond X8 Switch

The following example displays output for a BlackDiamond X8 switch:

BD-X8.2 # show slot

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")

Like management modules, the fabric modules on the BlackDiamond X8 switch are not configured and thus always show blank in the Configured column. The fabric modules do not have backplane links to the Master or Backup management module and so never show the M or B flag. They can be disabled, and there might be insufficient power to bring them up. None of the flags ever show up for the management modules, since there is always sufficient power to bring them up at the start of the day, and if power should become insufficient later on, the switch will have rebooted.

Here is an example of the detail slot display:

BD-X8.6 # show slot fm-4
FM-4 information:

Download %:          0

B - Backplane link to Backup is also Active
D - Slot Disabled
I - Insufficient Power (refer to "show power budget")
BD-X8.7 #

The above display shows a fabric module slot that has failed due to incompatibility with the current fabric module mode. In this case the Last Error field appears and shows the following message:

Wrong FM Type for Current Mode

In the case of an I/O blade that has failed because there is no available switch fabric, the Last Error would contain the following:

No Fabric Module Is Available

In the case of an I/O blade that is incompatible with the current fabric mode, the Last Error would contain:

I/O Card Incompatible with Fabric Mode

The following example displays module information for all slots in a stack:
