Replacing an interface module
6
Setting the WAN PHY mode
A 10 Gbps Ethernet port on a LAN or WAN PHY module can be set-up for either WAN or LAN mode.
The default state is LAN mode.
The link-config x10g wan-phy command allows you to change to WAN mode from LAN mode.
NOTE
This command is supported on the LAN or WAN PHY module only.
Example
To enable the WAN PHY mode, enter commands such as the following.
FastIron(config)# link-config x10g wan-phy e 1/1 e 1/2
FastIron(config)# write memory
FastIron(config)# end
FastIron# reload
These commands change the PHY mode from LAN to WAN.
NOTE
The write memory and reload commands save the change to the startup-config file and place the
WAN PHY configuration in effect.
Syntax: link-config x10g wan-phy ethernet <
slot-num
/
port-num
>
where <
slot-num
/
port-num
> is a valid 10-Gigabit Ethernet port or ports.
Disabling and re-enabling an interface module
NOTE
This section does not apply to the active management module. The disable module and enable
module commands are not applicable to the active management module. If you attempt to remove
the management module while the chassis is powered on and running, all traffic being handled by
the system will stop.
Before removing an interface module from the chassis while the chassis is powered on and
running, disable the module first. Disabling the module before removing it prevents a brief service
interruption on other forwarding modules. The brief interruption can be caused by the chassis
re-initializing other modules in the chassis when you remove an enabled module.
To disable a module, enter a command such as the following at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.
FastIron# disable module 3
This command disables the module in slot 3.
Syntax: disable module <
slot-num
>
The <
slot-num
> variable specifies a valid slot number.
If you decide after disabling a module that you do not want to remove the module, re-enable the
module using the following command.
FastIron# enable module 3
Syntax: enable module <
slot-num
>
