You can configure the BlackDiamond or Alpine switch 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 | f48t | g4x | g6x | g8x |
g12x]
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
If no slot is specified, information for all slots is displayed.

On the BlackDiamond or Alpine switch, the port number is a combination of the slot
number and the port number. The nomenclature for the port number is as follows:
slot:port
