Description Use this command to configure the specified slot for an interface module of a given type.
The command is executed in the context of the given RBridge. You must first enter the rbridge-id
context for the specific interface module. Once you are in the rbridge-id context, enter
linecard slot_number linecard_type to configure the slot.
Usage Guidelines If you replace a given interface module with another one of a different type, you must remove the
configuration and then reconfigure the slot.
The interface module must be powered off before you can remove the slot configuration.
The LC72x1G type displayed under “possible completion” is not supported.
CAUTION
Enter no linecard to remove the slot configuration.When hot-swapping line cards of different
types, copy the running-config file to the startup-config file before rebooting. This ensures that
the desired changes are persistent in case there are any hardware or software incompatibilities.
