BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide
14
The specific capabilities of the switch are determined by the module series installed in the chassis. For
more information about individual I/O modules and management modules (MSMs), see
Chapter 3
.
For more information about configuring a BlackDiamond switch, see the
ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide
and the
ExtremeXOS Command Reference Guide
.
Full-Duplex Support
Extreme Networks switches provide full-duplex support for all ports. Full-duplex support means that
frames can be transmitted and received simultaneously, effectively doubling the bandwidth available on
a link. Most ports on an Extreme Networks switch will auto-negotiate duplex operation in the default
configuration. Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports and 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports operate only in full-duplex
mode in accordance with technical standards.
Management Ports
Each BlackDiamond management switch fabric module (MSM) has a 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet
management port. This port allows you to communicate directly with the central processing unit (CPU)
of the switch. You can plug an Ethernet cable directly from your laptop into the management port for
direct access into the switch. This access allows you to view and locally manage the switch
configurations.
External Compact Flash Memory Card
All MSMs in the BlackDiamond 8800 series include a compact flash slot next to the console port. This
slot accepts a compact flash memory card, which can be used to download a new version of
ExtremeXOS and for other functions, including capturing debug information and core dump files. See
the
ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide
for more information regarding the use of the external compact flash
memory card.
The external compact flash slot supports third-party compact flash cards.
NOTE
You must use an industrial-grade compact flash card in the external compact flash slot of the MSM.
