Standalone Mode and Switch Mode: Switch Mode

Switch Mode

Switch mode refers to the mode where AI232 is managed by the CLC. When AI232 is in switch mode, the AI198 menu system must be used to configure IP addresses, aliases, IP static routes, and SNMP traps. AI232 must be located in the AI130 or AI180 chassis to operate in switch mode.

The following characteristics apply when AI232 is operating in switch mode:

zAI232 gets its configuration from the CLC at boot time (instead of locally or by TFTP).

zThe CLC is used to route calls and maintain alias configuration information.

zThe IRB is the default port (rather than the front panel Ethernet port).

zAI232 cards are hot-swappable—the card configuration does not have to be set up manually.



Note: Switch mode may also be referred to as CLC mode.
