2. Before you install your 2x100GbE CFP2 interface module into a working device, you must change the system tm-credit-size
to 1024b (which readies the device to forward 100 Gbps trac). Log into your system and enter the following commands in
the conguration level of the CLI. Remember to write to memory and reload the device.
device# config
device(config)# system-init tm-credit-size credit_1024b
device(config)# exit
device# write memory
device# reload
NOTE
The system-init tm-credit-size command is only available in Extreme NetIron OS R05.7.00 or later, so it is important
to upgrade all software to R05.7.00 or later before you install your 2x100GbE CFP2 module.
CAUTION
Do not use the port cover tabs to lift the module. They are not designed to support the weight of the module,
which can fall and be damaged.
3. Insert the module into the slot until the connectors securely engage the backplane.
In 4- and 8-slot devices, the modules are installed horizontally. In 16- and 32-slot devices the modules are installed vertically.
NOTE
The 2x100GbE CFP2 interface module is sensitive to dust and debris. Keep the optics covers in place until you are
ready to connect the ber cable. Clean all ber cables properly before you connect them to the 2x100GbE CFP2
interface module.
Installing BR-MLX-10Gx24-DM interface modules
This section provides installation instructions for BR-MLX-10Gx24-DM interface modules.
Installation considerations
• BR-MLX-10Gx24-DM interface modules can be installed only in MLX Series devices running in MLX mode (NI-MLX-MR and
BR-MLX-MR2-M or the equivalent 32 slot management modules).
• BR-MLX-10Gx24-DM interface modules are supported only on devices running Extreme NetIron Software R05.4.00 or later.
For the latest upgrade instructions, refer to the Extreme NetIron Software Upgrade Guide on the Extreme Networks web site.
• Pull
o the GBX connector cover before installing the module in the chassis.
• Use show chassis command to determine if you need additional power supplies.
• For installation in an MLXe-32 chassis, congure the chassis dierently based on whether it has a Gen-1 module or not.
• The following conditions may prevent a BR-MLX-10Gx24-DM interface module from coming up properly:
– BR-MLX-10Gx24-DM interface modules require the snmp-server max-index-per-module 40|64 congured.
Otherwise, the cards will not come up.
NOTE
Not all features available in the Extreme NetIron Software R05.4.00 are supported on the BR-MLX-10Gx24-DM interface
module. To verify if a particular feature is supported with the BR-MLX-10Gx24-DM interface module, refer to the latest version
of the Extreme NetIron Features and Standards Matrix.
