use-expansion-card-type
Syntax [no] use-expansion-card-type { m4-ds1-ces | m2-xfp }
Context bof
Description This parameter identifies the expansion card type to the system before boot up. The system allocates
appropriate resources based on this information. The system allows only provisioning of the MDA
currently specified in the BOF. A log message is displayed if a MDA type mismatch is detected. The
system has to be re-booted if this parameter is changed.
For 7210 SAS-M devices in access-uplink mode, only the 2x10G MDA is supported. Hence, the
value of this parameter must be set to m2-xfp.
Default m4-ds1-ces
Parameters m4-ds1-ces — Identifies a 4- port T1/E1 CES MDA.
m2-xfp — Identifies a 2- port 10G Ethernet MDA.
no-service-ports
Syntax [no] no-service-ports {<port-id> | <port-id>}
Context bof
Description Only 7210 SAS-M 24F 2XFP and 7210 SAS-M 24F 2XFP ETR devices support only 26 Ethernet
ports when the 2x10G MDA is in use.
When the 2 x 10G MDA is in use, this command is used to specify the 26 Ethernet ports to be used,
among the total of 28 Ethernet ports available. Remaining two Ethernet ports are not used and the
service traffic received on these ports is not processed. Any of the 24 x 1G fixed Ethernet ports OR 2
x 10G fixed Ethernet ports OR 2 x 10G MDA Ethernet ports can be specified by the user. Two ports
as a list of two port-id tuple can also be specified.
Note: The user can specify the both the ports to be the ones on the 2 x 10G MDA, this configuration
is allowed.
Note: The system ignores the value of no-service-ports parameter if the use-expansion-card-type
value is m4-ds1-ces.
Note: This parameter is not available in the BOF for 7210 SAS-M 24F device.
Parameters port-id — Identifies the ports in the system using the notation Chassis/slot/port-number. For example,
1/1/1 – refers to front panel fixed port #1 on the chassis, and 1/2/1 – refers to the port #1 on the 2
x 10G MDA inserted into the system.
