| Configuring the WSM using Device Manager |
|
The WSM has three sets of ports:
Front ports 1-4
Dual-media connectors (visible on the Faceplate).
Back ports 5-8
No physical connectors, operate at Gigabit Full-Duplex.
Located on the printed circuit board of the WSM and permanently trunked to the BFM ports. Connect to other 8600 I/O modules through the BFM ports.
Backplane Fabric Module (BFM) ports 1-4
Connect to the 8600 backplane.
Provide recognition of the WSM by the 8600 switch and are permanently trunked with the Back ports 5-8. When a WSM is inserted in a slot, the BFM ports are recognized by the 8600 switch. When viewing VLAN port membership on the WSM, the 8600 Device Manager will show the BFM ports. However, when viewing VLAN membership from the WSM Device Manager, it will show the port numbers of the Back ports to which the BFM ports are trunked.
