Interface Configuration
7210 SAS M, T, X, R6, R12, Mxp Interface Configuration Guide Page 15
• Change of value assigned to 'use-expansion-card-type' BOF parameter, requires a reboot
so that a different MDA type can be used.
Provisioning 2 x 10G MDA and 4 x T1/E1 CES MDA on 7210 SAS-M
For 7210 SAS-M devices currently deployed or new deployments, to insert 2*10 MDA perform
the following steps:
1. Configure the BOF parameter "use-expansion-card-type" to m2-xfp. This provisions the
system to expect a 2 x 10G MDA for use in the expansion slot.
2. Configure the BOF parameter "no-service-ports", if using a 7210 SAS-M 24F 2XFP and
7210 SAS-M 24F 2XFP ETR variants.
3. Re-boot the device.
4. The above steps are required for first-time use of 2 x 10G MDA or when changing the
MDA type in use. It is not needed, if a MDA is being replaced with a MDA of the same
type.
In 7210 devices using 2 x 10G MDA, to insert CES MDA perform the following steps:
1. Configure the BOF parameter "use-expansion-card-type" to m4-ds1-ces. This will
provision the system to expect a 4 x T1/E1 CES MDA for use in the expansion slot.
2. Configure the BOF parameter "no-service-ports" to default, if using a 7210 SAS-M 24F
2XFP and 7210 SAS-M 24F 2XFP ETR variants.
3. Re-boot the device.
4. The above steps are required when changing the MDA type in use. It is not needed, if a
MDA is being replaced with a MDA of the same type.
NOTE: Insertion and removal of the CES MDA at any point of time into the system is supported,
if the BOF parameter configuration is set to default.
