Note Port Status and Configuration Using Friendly (Optional) Port Names Configuring Transceivers and Modules That Haven't Been Inserted Transceivers Previously, a port had to be valid and verified for the switch to allow it to be configured. Transceivers are removable ports and considered invalid when not present in the switch, so they cannot be configured unless they are already in the switch. For switches covered in this guide, the verification for allowable port configurations performed by the CLI is removed and configuration of transceivers is allowed even if they are not yet inserted in the switch. Modules You can create or edit configuration files (as text files) that can be uploaded to the switch without the modules having been installed yet. Additionally, you can pre-configure the modules with the CLI "module" command. Syntax: module type Allows you to configure the type of the module. The same module command used in an uploaded configuration file is used to define a module that is being pre-configured. The validation performed when issued through the CLI is still performed just as if the command was executed on the switch, in other words, as if the module were actually present in the switch. You cannot use this method to change the configuration of a module that has already been configured. The slot must be empty and the configuration file must not have a configuration associated with it. Clearing the Module Configuration Because of the hot-swap capabilities of the modules, when a module is removed from the chassis, the module configuration remains in the configuration file. This feature allows you to remove the module configuration information from the configuration file. 10-29
