Installation manual

For specific port configuration commands, refer to the ExtremeXOS Command Reference Guide

The BDXB-100G4X module has the following LEDs:

•

Module status (STAT)

•

Module diagnostics (DIAG)

•

Port status

For information about the LEDs and their activity on the BDXB-100G4X modules, see I/O Module LEDs

on page 25.

BDXB-100G4X-XL I/O Module

The BDXB-100G4X-XL I/O module supports four CFP2 based 100-gigabit Ethernet ports. With

appropriate cabling, each of these four ports can be divided into 10, 10-gigabit data channels. The

module also supports up to one million TCAM entries.

Note

BDX I/O modules are supplied with no pre-installed optical modules.

When the ports are operating in 100-Gbps mode, the port numbers increment by 10. For example, the

first four ports would be numbered (from left to right) 1, 11,21, and 31. Other port numbers are displayed

in ExtremeXOS as “not available.”

When a port is configured to operate in 10-Gbps mode, all ten port numbers associated with that

physical port are displayed as being available. The default mode for the ports is 100-Gbps operation.

Note

To fully provision switching bandwidth for the BDXB-100G4X-XL module, the BlackDiamond

X series chassis must have at least three BDXA-FM10T fabric modules or three BDXA-FM20T

fabric modules installed. A fourth fabric module of like type may be added for optional N+1

redundancy. The system can also be operated with a single fabric module of either type in an

oversubscription mode.

Figure 9: BDXB-100G4X-XL I/O Module on page 24 shows the front of the module, including port and

LED locations.

In the default configuration for the BDXB-100G4X-XL 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).
