Chapter 43 Configuring the Switch Fabric Modules
Configuring and Monitoring the Switch Fabric Module
To configure the switch to use compact mode if you have only fabric-enabled modules installed, perform
this task:
This example shows how to configure the switch to use compact mode:
Console> (enable)

Console> (enable)
Switch Fabric Redundancy
No configuration is required for Switch Fabric Module redundancy. The module in slot 5 functions as
the primary module and a redundant Switch Fabric Module in slot 6 automatically takes over if the
primary module fails. A mixed redundant configuration with a WS-C6500-SFM and a
WS-X6500-SFM 2 is not supported.
