ports to participate in the VLAN named default. The default configuration for the I/O module is not
preserved unless you explicitly save the configuration to NVRAM.
You can configure parameters of an I/O module after it is installed, or preconfigure a slot for a certain
type of module and configuration. The preconfigured information is applied to the module after it is
inserted. If you preconfigure a slot for a specific module type and then insert a different type of module,
the inserted module does not become operational because of the mismatch. If this situation occurs, the
show slot command shows the module state as mismatch.
Note
See the ExtremeXOS User Guide and the ExtremeXOS Command Reference Guide for
feature-specific information related to BlackDiamond 8000 Series modules.
Caution
When BlackDiamond I/O modules from different series (8500 Series; 8800 c-Series and e-
Series; or 8900 Series) are installed in the same BlackDiamond 8800 Series chassis,
limitations on feature sets may occur. See the
ExtremeXOS User Guide
and the
ExtremeXOS
Command Reference Guide
for more information about these limitations.
BlackDiamond 8500 Series I/O Modules
The BlackDiamond 8500 Series modules include:
•
8500-G24X-e (see
8500-G24X-e I/O Module
)
•
8500-G48T-e (see
8500-G48T-e I/O Module
)
Caution
ExtremeXOS builds earlier than version 12.3.x do not support the BlackDiamond 8500 Series
modules. If you attempt to install one of these I/O modules before upgrading the software on
your MSM the module will not be recognized by the software and it will not power up. The
following error messages are similar to the messages that may be displayed on the console or
in the log. (Samples represent an unrecognized module in slot 2.)
•
Console:
ERROR: Unknown cardtype in slot 2 - please program the eeprom
•
Log:
<Error: HAL.Card.Error> MSM-A: Unable to read cardtype for slot 2
