enable slot
enable slot <slot>
Description
Enables slots.
Syntax Description
Default
Enabled.
Usage Guidelines
NOTE
On the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch, this command only applies to the data, or I/O, ports on slots holding an
MSM (slot 5 and possibly 6 on the BlackDiamond 8810; slot 3 and possibly 4 on the BlackDiamond 8806 switch).
This command allows the user to enable a slot that has been previously disabled using the
disable
slot
command.
NOTE
If your chassis has an inline power module and there is not enough power to supply a slot, that slot will not be
enabled; the slot will not function in data-only mode without enough power for inline power.
When the user enters the enable command, the disabled I/O card in the specified slot is brought up,
and the slot is made operational, if possible, or goes to the appropriate state as determined by the card
state machine. The LEDs on the card are brought ON as usual. When the slot is enabled, the software
on the I/O module is updated to match the software on the primary MSM.
After the user enables the slot, the
show slot
command shows the state as “Operational” or will
display the appropriate state if the card could not be brought up successfully. Note that there is no card
state named “Enable” and the card goes to the appropriate states as determined by the card state
machine when the
enable slot
command is invoked.
Only slots that have their state as “disabled” can be enabled using this command. If this command is
used on slots that are in states other than “disabled,” the card state machine takes no action on these
slots.
To enable inline power to a slot, the slot must be enabled as well as inline power for that slot. Use the
enable inline-power
command to enable inline power.
slot
Specifies the slot to be enabled.
