Managing the PxM, Command Description | Extreme Networks Px Series

Managing the PxM

Managing the PxM

You can manage the PxM in any of the following ways:

•Using the connect command in the BlackDiamond.

•Using the serial port (useful for debugging).

•Using the 101100 port (for out-of-band management).

VLANs are always enabled on the PxM. A configuration that does not contain VLAN information will fail to build and report syntax errors for the PxM. You must configure a VLAN on the MSM before you configure it on the PxM. See “Configuring VLANs” on page 4-8.

Table 4-3 shows BlackDiamond ExtremeWare commands that apply solely to the PxM, or have specific syntax that applies to the PxM:
