shows the MSM-48c.
Figure 7: MSM-48c
The BlackDiamond 8800 series MSMs have the following features on the front panel:
●
Console port—DB-9 serial port used to connect a terminal and perform local management.
●
Management port—A 10/100 Mbps Ethernet management port used to connect an Ethernet cable
directly from your laptop to the switch to view and locally manage the switch configurations. This
port can also be used to connect the system into a parallel management network for administration.
●
A button—Allows you to select the alternate BootROM image when you power on the module. To
use the alternate BootROM image, you must hold the A button while pressing the R button
simultaneously.
●
D button—Allows you to force a system dump that dumps the debug information into NVRAM.
This information is available on the next reboot. No core file is created.
●
R button—Allows you to reset the MSM-G8X without removing the module from the chassis.
●
Compact flash slot
The MSM-G8X has the following additional ports:
●
Eight SFP data ports—These data ports operate the same as the ports on the G24X I/O module. (See
for more information about these ports.) The eight data ports are
integrated into the MSM and managed by a separate I/O processor, which retains control of the
eight Ethernet ports on the MSM during a failover. The backup MSM can take control of the ports.
The MSM-48c has a slot for one of the following option cards:
●
S-G8Xc—Adds eight 1-gigabit SFP data ports to the MSM-48c. These data ports operate the same as
the ports on the G24Xc I/O module. (See
for more information
about these ports.)
●
S-10G1Xc—Adds one 10-gigabit XFP data port to the MSM-48c. This data port operates the same as
the ports on the 10G4Xc I/O module. (See
“10G4Xc I/O Module” on page 33
for more information
about this port.)
The MSM-48c has more CPU memory than the other two MSM models. For details of feature support in
the MSM-48c, see the ExtremeXOS 12.1 Concepts Guide.
NOTE
See the ExtremeXOS 12.1 Concepts Guide and the ExtremeXOS 12.1 Command Reference Guide for more
