The BlackDiamond 8800 e-series of I/O modules include:
● G48Te I/O Module on page 36
● G48Pe I/O Module on page 37
● G48Te2 I/O Module on page 38
CAUTION
ExtremeXOS software builds earlier than version 11.5.0 do not support G48Te or G48Pe I/O modules. ExtremeXOS
builds earlier than version 12.1 do not support the G48Te2 I/O module. If you attempt to install one of these I/O
modules before upgrading the software on your MSM to the required minimum version, the module will not be
recognized by the software and it will not power up. The following error messages are similar to the messages that
may be displayed on the console or in the log. (Samples represent an unrecognized module in slot 2.)
● Console: ERROR: Unknown cardtype in slot 2 - please program the eeprom
● Log: <Error: HAL.Card.Error> MSM-A: Unable to read cardtype for slot 2
G48Te I/O Module
The G48Te I/O module ( Figure 21 ) has 48 autosensing 10/100/1000BASE-T ports that use standard
RJ-45 connectors. When an 8800 series switch is running in dual-MSM mode, this module will be
oversubscribed 2:1. When the switch is running a single MSM, this module will be oversubscribed 4:1.
Figure 21: G48Te I/O Module
The default configuration of the G48Te I/O module is as follows. All ports:
● Are added to the default VLAN as untagged
● Inherit the properties of the default VLAN (for example, protocol type and VLANid)
● Operate in autonegotiation mode
The G48Te I/O module has the following LEDs:
● Module status
● Module diagnostics
● Port status
For information about the LEDs and their activity on the G48Te I/O module, see “I/O Module LEDs”
