Important Consideration

■After you enable or disable a module for automatic backplane trunking, the switch fabric module verifies that the interface module’s backplane configuration is compatible or not compatible to the switch fabric’s configuration.

■If autoMap is enabled on the desired interface module, then the switch fabric module verifies that the switch fabric and interface module’s backplane configuration satisfies the requirements of automatic backplane trunking. If the switch fabric module and interface module satisfy requirements, then no reset is required. If not, then the switch fabric module determines if the interface module must reconfigure to support backplane configuration requirements. If the switch fabric module or interface module must reconfigure, then a message is sent to the user that a reset is required:

Fabric reset required for trunk configuration to be effective for the module in slot x.

■If autoMap is disabled, the switch fabric module verifies that the interface module’s backplane configuration is compatible to the switch fabric’s configuration. If the interface module is compatible to the switch fabric module’s backplane configuration, then no reset is required. If not, then the switch fabric module determines if the interface module can support the defined switch fabric module’s backplane configuration.

If the interface module can, then a message is sent to the interface module with the desired backplane port configuration. Otherwise, the switch fabric module will modify its configuration and a message is sent to the user that a reset is required:

Fabric reset required for trunk configuration to be effective for the module in slot x.
