I/O Modules
The following series of I/O modules are available for the BlackDiamond 8800 series switches:
● BlackDiamond 8500 series I/O modules (see page 27)
● BlackDiamond 8800 series I/O modules:
- BlackDiamond 8800 original series I/O modules (see page 29)
- BlackDiamond 8800 a-series I/O modules (see page 33)
- BlackDiamond 8800 c-series I/O modules (see page 37)
- BlackDiamond 8800 e-series I/O modules (see page 43)
● BlackDiamond 8900 series I/O modules (see page 46)
No configuration information is stored on the I/O modules; all configuration information is stored on
the MSMs.
When a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch is powered on, the software generates a default configuration
for any slots that contain I/O modules. The default configuration allows the I/O module ports to
participate in the VLAN named default. The default configuration for the I/O module is not preserved
unless you explicitly save the configuration to NVRAM.
You can configure parameters of an I/O module after it is installed, or preconfigure a slot for a certain
type of module and configuration. The preconfigured information is applied to the module after it is
inserted. If you preconfigure a slot for a specific module type and then insert a different type of module,
the inserted module does not become operational because of the mismatch. If this situation occurs, the
show slot command shows the module state as mismatch.
NOTE
See the ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide and the ExtremeXOS Command Reference Guide for
feature-specific information related to BlackDiamond 8000 series modules.
CAUTION
When BlackDiamond I/O modules from different series (8500 series; 8800 original series, a-series,
c-series, and e-series; or 8900 series) are installed in the same BlackDiamond 8800 series chassis, limitations on
feature sets may occur. See the ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide and the ExtremeXOS Command Reference Guide
for more information about these limitations.
