The inserted module may be removed or swapped with a different expansion module by
following the same procedure.
Interface and Address Object Naming in cOS Core
After startup, cOS Core will detect the presence of the extra interfaces and add them to the
configuration. No action from the administrator is needed for this to happen. The interfaces will
be named according to the slot they are in (some hardware products have more than one slot)
and their position on the expansion module.
The assigned interface name will always have the following form: En-m. The name always begins
with the letter E. The number n is the slot number and the number m is the position on the
expansion module. For example, the second interface in the first slot will have the name E1-2.
cOS Core will also automatically add an IP and network address object into the address book
using the normal convention. For example, the interface E1-2 will get an IPv4 address object
called E1-2_ip and an IPv4 network object called E1-2_net.
Removing Interfaces
An expansion module can also be removed after powering off the W30. When cOS Core is started
again, the configuration will be unchanged. However, no data will be received or sent on an
interface that does not physically exist.
If another expansion module is then fitted later and it contains an interface port that has the
same position as the removed one (in other words, it's logical cOS Core name is the same) traffic
can flow through the new interface since the configuration references will now have a
corresponding physical interface.
Installing SFP/SFP+ Modules
Two of the W30 expansion module options provide connectivity for
Small Form Pluggable
(SFP)
and
Small Form Pluggable Plus
(SFP+) modules.The W30 expansion modules do not come as
standard with any SFP or SFP+ modules but they can be ordered from your Clavister reseller.
Shown below is a typical SFP unit.
Figure 5.4. An Example of an SFP 1000 Base TX Module
Installation of the different types of SFP/SFP+ modules is performed in a similar way. For
example, with the module shown above, insertion into the sockets is done with the label facing
upwards. The module slides into position by gently pressing it inwards.
The image below shows insertion of an SFP module into the expansion module option that
provides connectivity for 8 Gigabit SFP modules.
