insight mode

Enables an insight interface on connector.

Syntax

insight mode
no insight mode

Command Default

By default, the connector is initialized as a regular user port. Insight mode is not enabled by default.

Modes

Hardware configuration mode for a connector

Usage Guidelines

This command enable an insight interface for a port-channel.

The insight functionality supports TPVM. To enable it, a pre-designated connector needs to be configured as insight mode before enabling the insight interface (0/125) for a port-channel. The insight mode conversion is dynamic, therefore no switch reboot is required.

When the connector is configured as insight mode, the original Ethernet user interface is deconfigured and deleted, and the insight interface 0/125 is created automatically.

Use the no form of this command to disable the insight interface and convert the connector to a regular port.

Examples

This example enables insight mode on connector 0/48 of SLX9540.

device(config)# hardware
device(config-hardware)#
device(config-hardware)# connector 0/48
device(config-connector-0/48)# insight mode

This example uses the insight enable command to enable an insight interface on a port-channel. The insight interface 0/125 is then added to this port-channel.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface port-channel 33
device(config-Port-channel-33)# insight enable
device(config-Port-channel-33)# no shutdown
