11.4.2.4 Adding GE Remote Extended Subracks
This topic describes how to add a GE remote extended subrack to the master subrack so that the
master subrack can manage the extended subrack.
Data Plan
The following table lists the data plan for interconnection between the master subrack and
extended subrack.

Adding a GE remote extended subrack to a
master subrack is like adding a service board
to the master subrack. You can add a GE
remote extended subrack in offline pre-
deployment or automatic discovery mode. In
offline pre-deployment mode (as in this
example), an extending port on the master
subrack needs to be planned for adding the
extended subrack. In automatic discovery
mode, an extending port does not need to be
planned, and the port where the extended
subrack is automatically discovered is used as
the extending port.
Extended
subrack ID
In offline pre-
deployment mode, the
extended subrack ID is 1.
The master subrack ID is always 0. After the
GE remote extended subrack is introduced, the
extended subrack ID starts from 1. Currently,
a maximum of 32 extended subracks are
supported. Therefore, the extended ID ranges
from 1 to 32.
In offline pre-deployment mode (as in this
example), an available subrack ID needs to be
specified for the extended subrack to be added.
In automatic discovery mode, the master
subrack automatically allocates an available
subrack ID to the extended subrack that is
confirmed.
Procedure
Step 1
Set the auto-negotiation function of the extending port to
enable
.
huawei(config-if-eth-0/3)#

Step 2
Set the working mode of the ETHB extending board to
extend
.
huawei(config-if-eth-0/3)#
