• Refresh Inventory You must have the device configuration privileges to set up network IOMs and perform configuration tasks on them. NOTE: When a switch changes between Full Switch and Fabric modes, it reboots. NOTE: If the compute sled and fabric IOM mismatch, the health status of the compute or IOM is displayed as "Warning" in the chassis subsystem health. However, the health status is not displayed in the chassis graphical representation on the Chassis page, I/O Modules, and Compute pages. Topics: • Viewing hardware details • Configuring IOM settings Viewing hardware details You can view information for the following IOM hardware: • FRU • Device Management Info • Installed Software • Port Information NOTE: If the physical port is added as part of the port channel it is listed under the port channel group instead of the physical port. For Port Information, when you enable auto-negotiation, peer devices exchange capabilities such as speed and settle on mutually acceptable configuration. However, when the auto-negotiation is disabled, the peer devices may not exchange capabilities. Hence, it is recommended that the configuration on both peer devices is identical. The guidelines for auto-negotiation process are as follows: • MX9116n, MX7116n, and MX5108n IOMs support only 25G speeds on server facing ports. • By default, auto-negotiation is enabled on server facing 25G ports, as mandated by the IEEE 802.3 standard. • You can enable or disable auto-negotiation, but cannot configure speed on server facing ports. • When auto-negotiation is enabled, Ethernet switches display speed capability of only 25G.

Configuring IOM settings If you have the IOM device configuration privilege, you can configure the following settings for the Fabric Expander and Ethernet PassThrough IOMs: • Network • Root password • SNMP • Time You must have the network administrator privilege to configure the public management IP for the IOMs. The public IP facilitates use of the IOM Command Line Interface (CLI) to configure and troubleshoot the IOMs. 58 Ethernet IO Modules

You must have the device
configuration
privileges to set up network IOMs and perform
configuration
tasks on them.
NOTE:
When a switch changes between Full Switch and Fabric modes, it reboots.
NOTE:
If the compute sled and fabric IOM mismatch, the health status of the compute or IOM is displayed as "Warning" in the
chassis subsystem health. However, the health status is not displayed in the chassis graphical representation on the Chassis
page, I/O Modules, and Compute pages.

NOTE:
If the physical port is added as part of the port channel it is listed under the port channel group instead of the physical

For
Port Information
, when you enable auto-negotiation, peer devices exchange capabilities such as speed and settle on mutually
acceptable
configuration.
However, when the auto-negotiation is disabled, the peer devices may not exchange capabilities. Hence, it is
recommended that the
configuration

The guidelines for auto-negotiation process are as follows:
•
MX9116n, MX7116n, and MX5108n IOMs support only 25G speeds on server facing ports.
•
By default, auto-negotiation is enabled on server facing 25G ports, as mandated by the IEEE 802.3 standard.
•
You can enable or disable auto-negotiation, but cannot

If you have the IOM device
configuration
privilege, you can
configure
the following settings for the Fabric Expander and Ethernet Pass-
Through IOMs:
•
Network
•
Root password
•

•
Time
You must have the network administrator privilege to
