Initial Management Access
This chapter describes how to install the MSMs and I/O modules in the BlackDiamond 8800 Series
switches and how to set up initial management access for the switch. All module types are hot-
swappable.
Note
Read the information in this chapter thoroughly before you attempt to install or remove a
BlackDiamond 8800 Series MSM or I/O module.
Caution
Do not attempt to mix modules across Extreme Networks product lines. BlackDiamond 8000
Series modules are for use only in a BlackDiamond 8810 or 8806 switch. When a
BlackDiamond switch is in use, ExtremeXOS software will not recognize a module from a
different product line.
