Figure 5: BDXA-40G24X I/O Module
1 = QSFP+ ports 2 = LEDs
In the default configuration for the BDXA-40G24X module, all ports:
•
Are added to the default VLAN as untagged.
•
Inherit the properties of the default VLAN (for example, protocol type and VLAN ID).
The BDXA-40G24X module has the following LEDs:
•
Module status (STAT)
•
Module diagnostics (DIAG)
•
Port status
When a port is operating in 40-Gbps mode, the farthest left LED below that port lights blue to indicate
the 40-Gbps operation. When a port is operating in 10-Gbps mode, each LED for an active channel
from the port lights green.
For information about the LEDs and their activity on the BDXA-40G24X modules, see I/O Module LEDs
on page 25.
Note
The BDXA-40G24X module requires BDXA-FM20T fabric modules in order to function. The
module will not work with BDXA-FM10T.
BDXA-40G12X I/O Module
The BDXA-40G12X I/O module supports 12 QSFP+-based 40-gigabit Ethernet ports. Each QSFP+ port
can operate as a single 40-gigabit port or as four 10-gigabit ports. In 40G port mode, the module
provides 12 ports; if all ports are operating in 10G mode, the module provides 48 ports.
Note
BlackDiamond X series I/O modules are supplied with no pre-installed optical modules.
When the ports are operating in 40-Gbps mode, the port numbers increment by 4. For example, the
first four ports would be numbered (from left to right) 1, 5, 9, and 13. Other port numbers are displayed
in ExtremeXOS as “not available.”
