NETGEAR 8800 Chassis Switch CLI Manual configure slot module configure slot module Description Configures a slot for a particular I/O module card. On a stack, this command configures a slot for a particular type of node. Syntax Description slot module_type Specifies the slot number. Specifies the type of module or node for which the slot should be configured. The list of modules you can enter will vary depending on the type of switch and version of the NETGEAR 8800 you are running. Certain modules are supported only with specific releases. Default If a slot has not been configured for a particular type of I/O module, then any type of module is accepted in that slot, and a default port and VLAN configuration is automatically generated. Usage Guidelines The command displays different module parameters depending on the type of switch you are configuring and the version of NETGEAR 8800 running on the switch. You can also preconfigure the slot before inserting the module card. This allows you to begin configuring the module and ports before installing the card in the chassis. If a slot has not been configured for a particular type of I/O module, then any type of module is accepted in that slot, and a default port and VLAN configuration is automatically generated. If a slot is configured for one type of module, and a different type of module is inserted, the inserted module is put into a mismatch state, and is not brought online. To use the new module type in a slot, the slot configuration must be cleared or configured for the new module type. Upon powering up the chassis, or when an I/O module is hot-swapped, the NETGEAR 8800automatically determines the system power budget and protects the switch from any potential overpower configurations. If power is available, the NETGEAR 8800 powers on and initializes the module. When the NETGEAR 8800 detects that a module will cause an overpower condition, the module remains powered down, and is not initialized. An entry is made to the system log indicating the condition. On a stack, the module type must be a switch that supports NETGEAR 8800. Example The following command configures slot 2 for a 10/100/1000, 48-port, copper module: configure slot 2 module XCM8848T Chapter 5. Commands for Configuring Slots and Ports on a Switch | 215
