chassis to run in 128 K mode. To run in 128 K

 

mode, the CPU module must be an 8691 or

 

higher and the switch must use at least one

 

8600 module (128 K module).

ATTENTION

If you enable M mode support and you use a mixed configuration of modules, you disable the E modules and Pre-E modules.

 

ATTENTION

 

 

If you enable M mode support and you

 

 

use a mixed configuration of modules, you

 

 

disable the E modules.

 

 

 

 

 

Action: Enter y if you want the chassis to run

 

 

in 128 K M mode. Accept the default (n), if

 

 

you want it to run in 32 K mode only.

 

 

 

 

Do you want to enable

Description: Specifies if you want to enable

 

enhanced operation mode

enhanced operation mode. Enhanced

 

support [n] (y/n)?

operation mode increases the maximum

 

 

number of VLANs when you use MultiLink

 

 

Trunking (MLT) (1980) and Split MLT (SMLT)

 

 

(989). This mode requires 8600 E- or

 

 

M-modules.

 

 

 

 

 

ATTENTION

 

 

If you enable enhanced operation mode and
