8.1.1 Configuring the FN IOM for programmable MUX mode
In this section, the switch is set to Programmable MUX (PMUX) mode.
In Figure 38, configuration mode is used to set the switch to PMUX IOM mode, then the configuration
is saved and the switch is reloaded. Once the reload is complete, the IOM mode is verified using the
show system stack-unit iom- mode command. Then, the management IP address is assigned
to allow VLT heartbeats as well as SSH/telnet access.
Note: Only the VLT-related portions of the configurations are shown.
