Configuring the WSM using Device Manager

Dynamic MLTs

The default MLT groups are assigned dynamically. After inserting a WSM into the 8600 chassis, the highest available MLT group is assigned to BFM ports 3 and 4. The next highest available MLT group is assigned to BFM ports 1 and 2. Based on availability, the MLT group numbers may not always be consecutive.

For example:

• If MLT 32 and 31 are used, the WSM is assigned MLT 30 and 29.
• If MLT 31, 30, and 29 are used, the WSM is assigned MLT 32 and 28.

MLT assignment may change when the WSM is reset, because the WSM will assign the first MLT pair to the WSM that is installed in the lowest slot number.

Note: The physical slots in the chassis are numbered 1 - 10, from top to bottom. Lowest slot number refers to slot 1 at the top of the chassis.
