For information on saving the configuration, refer to Chapter 13.

You can configure the BlackDiamond with the type of I/O module that is installed in

each I/O slot. To do this, use the following command:

config slot <slot> module [f32t | f32f | g4x | g6x]

You can also pre-configure the slot before inserting the module card. This allows you to

begin configuring the module and ports before installing the card in the chassis.

If a slot is configured for one type of module, and a different type of module is inserted,

the inserted module is put into a mismatch state, and is not brought online. To use the

new module type in a slot, the slot configuration must be cleared or configured for the

new module type. To clear the slot of a previously assigned I/O module type, use the

following command:

clear slot <slot>

All configuration information related to the slot and the ports on the module is erased.

If a module is present when you issue this command, the module is reset to default

settings.

To display information about a particular slot, use the following command:

show slot <slot>

Information displayed includes the following:

• Card type, serial number, part number

• Current state (power down, operational, diagnostic, mismatch)

• Port information
