304 ExtremeWare Software 7.3.0 Command Reference Guide
Commands for Configuring Slots and Ports on a Switch
show slot
show slot <slot number>
Description
Displays the slot-specific information.
For ARM, ATM, MPLS, PoS, and WAN modules, displays information that includes data about the
software images loaded on the module, as well as status information on the module’s processors.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
The
show slot
command displays the following information:
• The name of the module installed in the slot
• The serial number of the module
• The part number of the module
• The state of the module, whether the power is down, if the module is operational, if a diagnostic
being run, if there is a mismatch between the slot configuration and the module in the slot
• The status of the ports on the module
If you do not specify a slot number, information for all slots is displayed.
For ARM, ATM, MPLS, PoS and WAN (E1, T1, and T3) modules:
The ExtremeWare technology release that supports these modules includes multiple software packages.
One software package runs on the MSM or SMMi module while another package runs on each ARM,
ATM, MPLS, PoS, or WAN module. You must download the software packages independently using the
ExtremeWare
download image
command. Each software package has an associated version number
that you can display using the
show version
command. It is recommended (not required), that the
ExtremeWare software package and the ARM, ATM, MPLS, PoS, or WAN module software package be
the same version.
For ARM, ATM, MPLS and PoS modules:
To ensure compatibility, the MSM performs an automatic compatibility check before a ARM, ATM,
MPLS or PoS module is activated. If the versions of the software packages are incompatible, the ARM,
ATM, MPLS or PoS ports on the module will not come up and the
show slot
command will indicate
that the software on the ARM, ATM, MPLS or PoS module is incompatible with ExtremeWare.
Assuming the ARM, ATM, MPLS or PoS module has no problems, the command
show slot <slot>
(where “<slot>” is the number of the slot where you installed the module) displays that ExtremeWare
has detected the module and set it to the OPERATIONAL state.
slot number Specifies a slot on a modular switch.
