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:
