Figure 19: MSM-48
The MSM-G8X and the MSM-48 have the following ports and buttons:
● Console port—The DB-9 serial console port is used to connect a terminal, allowing you to perform
local management.
● Management port—The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet management port allows you to connect an Ethernet
cable directly from your laptop to the switch to view and locally manage the switch configurations.
This port can also be used to connect the system into a parallel management network for
administration.
● A—Use the A button to select the alternate BootROM image when powering-on the MSM-G8X
module. To use the alternate BootROM image, you must hold the A button while pressing the R
button simultaneously.
● D—Use the D button to force a system dump that dumps the debug information into NVRAM. This
information is available on the next reboot. No core file is created.
● R—Use the R button to reset the MSM-G8X without removing the module from the chassis.
The MSM-G8X has the following additional ports:
● Eight SFP fiber mini-GBIC data ports—These data ports operate the same as the ports on the G24X
I/O module. (See “G24X I/O Module” on page 57 for more information about these ports.) The eight
data ports are integrated into the MSM and managed by a separate I/O processor, which retains
control of the eight Ethernet ports on the MSM during a failover. The backup MSM can take control
of the ports.
See the ExtremeXOS 12.0 Concepts Guide and the ExtremeXOS 12.0 Command Reference Guide for more
information about numbering conventions for the modules and ports, as well as configuration and display
information.
