To toggle uplinks from front to rear:
Not possible through a Web interface
ShMC CLI (serial)
To toggle the SFP+ uplinks of the hub located in the leftmost
slot to uplink 1:
ipmitool> raw 0x3e 0x20 0xC0 0x01

System Monitor
ShMC CLI
Click on Platform
In the section Switch Speed, change the speed of
the slot
Click on Save Changes
Perform a switch reboot.

Notes
This configuration is required only if you replace an
existing MSP node installed in slot 7 or 9 with
another MSP node that does not have the same
speed configuration, e.g. an MSP node with a 10GbE
connection is installed in lieu and place of an MSP
node supporting only 1GbE connections.
When no MSP nodes is installed, the default
configuration applies.
