cally switch over to the secondary port (labeled

To force port 1 (PHY-A) or port 2 (PHY-B) as the primary 9active) port, use the

For example, to configure port 2 (PHY-B) as the active port on the OS8-10GNI-UR1 module in slot 9
enter:
-> 10gig slot 10 phy-b
To confirm which port is the active one refer to the LEDs on the front panel (see

command as shown below:
-> show 10gig slot 10
Slot 10: PHY B primary
