Configure the Insight Interface SLX Endpoint

The Insight Interface is configured on both the SLX endpoint and the TPVM endpoint. Use the following procedure to configure the SLX endpoint of the Insight Interface. Note that steps 1 through 4 are specific to the SLX 9540 and SLX 9640.

Procedure

Enter global configuration mode.
```
device# configure terminal
```
Enter the hardware command to enter hardware configuration mode. (This is required for the SLX 9540/9640 only.)
```
device(config)# hardware
```
Enter the connector command to specify a slot and port.
```
device(config-hardware)# connector 0/48
```
Enter the insight mode command to enable the insight interface on a port-channel, and exit to global configuration mode.
```
device(connector-0/48)# insight mode
```

For the SLX 9640 use Eth 0/24. The command will toggle the physical port, and will display as port 0/125 in any show commands.

Exit to global configuration mode.
```
device(connector-0/48)# exit
```
In global configuration mode, specify a port-channel. You can create a new port-channel or use an existing unconfigured port-channel. The Insight Interface can only be configured on one port-channel
```
device(config)# interface port-channel 22
```
In interface subtype configuration mode, enter the insight enable command.
```
device(config-Port-channel-22)# insight enable
```

Set the port ip-address.

device(config-Port-channel-20)# ip address 10.0.0.1/24

Enable the interface.

device(config-Port-channel-22)# no shutdown

Use the show interface port-channel and the show port-channel commands to confirm the configuration, as in the following example.

device# show interface port-channel 22
