Extreme Networks Px Series Installing the PxM Application Switch Module, Installing I/O Modules

3Installing the PxM Application Switch Module

The PxM configuration of the Px series application switch is a BlackDiamond module. The configuration information and specifications for the BlackDiamond I/O modules are described in detail in the Extreme Networks Consolidated Hardware Guide, as well as the module installation and removal procedures. For convenience, the information on installing and removing modules is repeated here.

To manage the application switch locally, you must connect a management console to the switch’s Ethernet management port using a serial connection. Do this in the same way as for the SummitPx1; see “Setting Up Console Communication” on page 2-6.

This chapter contains the following sections:
