Viewing hardware details

You can view information for the following IOM hardware:

● FRU

● Device Management Info

● Installed Software

● Port Information

NOTE: If the physical port is added as part of the port channel it is listed under the port channel group instead of the

physical port.

For Port Information, when you enable auto-negotiation, peer devices exchange capabilities such as speed and settle on

mutually acceptable configuration. However, when the auto-negotiation is disabled, the peer devices may not exchange

capabilities. Hence, it is recommended that the configuration on both peer devices is identical.

The guidelines for auto-negotiation process are as follows:

● MX9116n, MX7116n, and MX5108n IOMs support only 25G speeds on server facing ports.

● By default, auto-negotiation is enabled on server facing 25G ports, as mandated by the IEEE 802.3 standard.

● You can enable or disable auto-negotiation, but cannot configure speed on server facing ports.

● When auto-negotiation is enabled, Ethernet switches display speed capability of only 25G.

Configuring IOM settings

If you have the IOM device configuration privilege, you can configure the following settings for the Fabric Expander and

Ethernet Pass-Through IOMs:

● Network

● Root password

● SNMP

● Time

You must have the network administrator privilege to configure the public management IP for the IOMs. The public IP facilitates

use of the IOM Command Line Interface (CLI) to configure and troubleshoot the IOMs.

Configuring networking settings

The network settings for IOMs include configuring the public management IP for the selected management port.

To configure the networking settings:

1. Click All Devices > I/O Modules > View Details > Settings > Network or Devices > I/O Modules > View Details >

Settings > Network.

2. In the IPv4 Settings section, select Enable IPv4.

3. Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway for the management port.

The IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway options are enabled only if the Enable DHCP check box is cleared.

4. In the IPv6 Settings section, select Enable IPv6.

5. Enter the IPv6 Address, select the Prefix Length.

The IPv6 Address, Prefix Length, and Gateway options are enabled only if the Enable Autoconfiguration check box is

cleared.

6. Enter the Gateway for the management port.
