8 Ethernet IO Modules The MX7000 supports the following Ethernet I/O Modules (IOMs): • Managed Ethernet switches: - MX9116n Fabric Switching Engine - MX5108n Ethernet Switch • Unmanaged devices: - MX7116n Fabric Expander Module - PowerEdge MX 25Gb Ethernet Pass-Through Module - PowerEdge MX 10GBASE-T Ethernet Pass-Through Module Ethernet IOMs are supported in Fabrics A and B. For details about the supported IOM slots, see Supported slot configurations for IOMs. The Ethernet switches operate in two modes: • Full Switch mode (default) • SmartFabric Services mode or Fabric mode By default, an Ethernet switch operates in Full Switch mode. In Full Switch mode, the switch operates as a full L2/L3 switch with all functionality supported by the OS10 and the underlying hardware. The switch configuration is done through the CLI. For information about configuring a switch using the CLI, see the OS10 Enterprise Edition User Guide You can use OME-Modular to perform the following tasks: • Configure host name, SNMP, and NTP settings. • Configure port breakout modes. • Set ports up or down. • Monitor health, logs, alerts, and events. • Update and manage firmware. • View the physical topology. • Perform power control operations. It is recommended that you use the full switch mode when you require a feature or network architecture that is unavailable with SmartFabric Services. For information on Fabric mode, see SmartFabric Services. Managing Ethernet IOMs The I/O Modules page displays the health and asset information of the IOMs. If you have the fabric manager role with device configuration and power control privileges, you can perform the following tasks on the I/O Module page: • Power Cycle-Turn on, turn off, or perform a system reseat on the IOM • Update firmware, if applicable • Blink LED-Turn on or turn off the IOM Identification LED.

Ethernet IO Modules
The MX7000 supports the following Ethernet I/O Modules (IOMs):
•
Managed Ethernet switches:
–
MX9116n Fabric Switching Engine
–
MX5108n Ethernet Switch
•
Unmanaged devices:
–
MX7116n Fabric Expander Module
–
PowerEdge MX 25Gb Ethernet Pass-Through Module
–
PowerEdge MX 10GBASE-T Ethernet Pass-Through Module
Ethernet IOMs are supported in Fabrics A and B. For details about the supported IOM slots, see
Supported slot
configurations
for IOMs
.
The Ethernet switches operate in two modes:
•
Full Switch mode (default)
•
SmartFabric Services mode or Fabric mode
By default, an Ethernet switch operates in Full Switch mode.
In Full Switch mode, the switch operates as a full L2/L3 switch with all functionality supported by the OS10 and the underlying hardware.
The switch
configuration
is done through the CLI. For information about
configuring
a switch using the CLI, see the
OS10 Enterprise
Edition User Guide
You can use OME–Modular to perform the following tasks:
•
Configure
host name, SNMP, and NTP settings.
•
Configure
port breakout modes.
•
Set ports up or down.
•
Monitor health, logs, alerts, and events.
•
Update and manage
firmware.
•
View the physical topology.
•
Perform power control operations.
It is recommended that you use the full switch mode when you require a feature or network architecture that is unavailable with
SmartFabric Services.
For information on Fabric mode, see
SmartFabric Services
.
Managing Ethernet IOMs
The
I/O Modules
page displays the health and asset information of the IOMs. If you have the fabric manager role with device
configuration
and power control privileges, you can perform the following tasks on the
I/O Module
page:
•
Power Cycle—Turn on, turn
off,
or perform a system reseat on the IOM
•
Update
firmware,
if applicable
•
Blink LED—Turn on or turn
off
the IOM
Identification
LED.
