4. Select a deployment mode from the Type drop-down menu:

• Standalone

• Stack

• VLT or MLAG (N series only)

NOTE:

• Z9500 does not support stack mode.

• S55, S60 do not support VLT.

• N2024, N2024P, N2048, N2048P do not support MLAG.

5. (Z9500–series switch model only) In the License Type field, select the number of ports licensed: 36

(default); 84; or 132.

NOTE:

• AFM does not validate whether the specified number of licensed ports is correct for the

switch. An incorrect setting causes the fabric deployment to fail.

• This setting applies for both members in VLT mode.

• You can edit this value without restriction before beginning pre-deployment steps for the

switch. After pre-deployment begins, you can only edit the number of ports licensed

upwards (for example, 36–84).

6. (VLT or MLAG mode only) Enter a value in the Number of VLT pairs or Number of MLAG pairs field.

NOTE: Both switches in the VLT or MLAG pair must be the same model type.

7. (MXL, S55, S60, or N Series) Select an optional module type from the first and second Optional

Module drop-down menus:

NOTE: The first optional module menu name and options vary based on the access switch type

and mode (standalone or stack). Refer to the following table for supported options.
