The NI-MLX-10Gx8-M and NI-MLX-10Gx8-D interface module LEDs indicate module and port status, as described in <Link>Table 9.
Installation considerations
When you install NI-MLX-10Gx8-M or NI-MLX-10Gx8-D modules, you must upgrade the software on all interface modules and
management modules to the appropriate software release. Refer to the Hardware Installation Notes that shipped with the interface
module.
NOTE
NI-MLX-10Gx8-D modules do not support Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS).
If you try to configure MPLS on a device that has NI MLX 8x10G -D modules installed, you will see the following error message.
Brocade(config)# router mpls
The command can't be used when system contains -d class modules.
If you install an NI-MLX-10Gx8-D module in a device that is running MPLS, the NI-MLX-10Gx8-D module boots in INTERACTIVE
mode, and the following error message is displayed.
