Installation considerations
When you install NI-MLX-10Gx8-M or NI-MLX-10Gx8-D modules, you must upgrade the software on
all interface modules and management modules to the appropriate software release. Refer to the
Hardware Installation Notes that shipped with the interface module.
NI-MLX-10Gx8-D modules do not support Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS).
If you try to configure MPLS on a device that has NI MLX 8x10G -D modules installed, you will see
the following error message.
Brocade(config)# router mpls
The command can't be used when system contains -d class modules.
If you install an NI-MLX-10Gx8-D module in a device that is running MPLS, the NI-MLX-10Gx8-D
module boots in INTERACTIVE mode, and the following error message is displayed.
