Configure the Insight Interface SLX Endpoint

  1. Enter global configuration mode.
    device# configure terminal
  2. Enter the hardware command to enter hardware configuration mode. (This is required for the SLX 9540/9640 only.)
    device(config)# hardware
  3. Enter the connector command to specify a slot and port.
    device(config-hardware)# connector 0/48
  4. 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.

  1. Exit to global configuration mode.
    device(connector-0/48)# exit
  2. 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
    
  3. In interface subtype configuration mode, enter the insight enable command.
    device(config-Port-channel-22)# insight enable
    
  4. Set the port ip-address.
    device(config-Port-channel-20)# ip address 10.0.0.1/24
  5. Enable the interface.
    device(config-Port-channel-22)# no shutdown
    
  6. 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
    Port-channel 22 is up, line protocol is up
