Configuring the Card Interface Working Mode

Context

You can configure the card interface working mode to use interfaces on a card based on actual requirements.

Only S6720-C-SI series switches support this configuration.

S6720-C-SI series switches support extended cards. However, the four 10GE SFP+ Ethernet optical interfaces on the front panel and interfaces on the extended cards (excluding the 4*10GE card) cannot be used simultaneously. By default, a switch uses interfaces on the panel. To use interfaces on a card, run the undo set device port-config-mode port-on-board enable command to configure the card interface working mode. Interfaces on the panel then cannot be used.

Procedure

Run system-view

The system view is displayed.
Run undo set device port-config-mode port-on-board enable [ slot slot-id ]

The card interface working mode is configured.

By default, a switch works in the panel interface working mode.

Verifying the Configuration

Run the display device port-config-mode status [ slot slot-id ] command in any view to check information about the card interface working mode.
