configure slot
ExtremeWare Software 7.3.0 Command Reference Guide 251
Default
If a slot has not been configured for a particular type of I/O module, then any type of module is
accepted in that slot, and a default port and VLAN configuration is automatically generated.
Usage Guidelines
The
configure slot
command displays different module parameters depending on the type of
modular switch you are configuring and the version of ExtremeWare running on the switch.
You can also preconfigure the slot before inserting the module card. This allows you to begin
configuring the module and ports before installing the card in the chassis.
If a slot has not been configured for a particular type of I/O module, then any type of module is
accepted in that slot, and a default port and VLAN configuration is automatically generated. If a slot is
configured for one type of module, and a different type of module is inserted, the inserted module is
put into a mismatch state, and is not brought online. To use the new module type in a slot, the slot
configuration must be cleared or configured for the new module type.
Upon powering up the chassis, or when an I/O module is hot-swapped, ExtremeWare automatically
determines the system power budget and protects the BlackDiamond switch from any potential
overpower configurations. If power is available, ExtremeWare powers on and initializes the module.
When ExtremeWare detects that a module will cause an overpower condition, the module remains
powered down, and is not initialized. An entry is made to the system log indicating the condition.
For version 4.0:
• This command is available on BlackDiamond switches only.
Example
The following command configures the slot for a Fast Ethernet, 32-port, copper module:
configure slot 2 module F32T
