Usage Guidelines This command can be applied for individual switches or for all the switches in VSS by specifying the
switch number. The switch number option is visible on the active switch provided a 10-slot chassis is
present in the VSS mode.
The switch mode conversion from stand-alone to virtual and virtual to stand-alone automatically
converts max-port-num-mode to the default mode (mode 1), irrespective of the existing mode
configuration. max-port-num-mode is configured separately for VSS and the stand-alone switch after
a switch mode conversion and reboot. Moreover the VSL port configured in WS-X4640-CSFP-E
linecard in stand-alone mode is unavailable after a switch mode conversion from stand-alone to virtual.
VSS operations cannot be performed in mode 2 where the VSL port is configured beyond the 5th linecard
(7th slot).
Examples The following example shows how to enable support for the WS-X4640-CSFP-E linecard in a 10-slot
chassis:
Switch# config terminal
Switch(config)# hw-module system max-port-num-mode 2 switch ?
1
2
All Both switches
Switch(config)# hw-module system max-port-num-mode 2 switch 2
A 'redundancy reload shelf' or power-cycle of chassis is required to apply the new
configuration.
After reload, last 3 Line card slots will not be active in Switch 2
Switch(config)# end
