ProcedureTo Add an Unmanaged Ethernet Device

Steps
  1. Type devtype -l command to determine the backhaul type ID.

  2. Add the Ethernet device.

    1. Add an Ethernet adapter to the backhaul type by typing:

      devtype -s backhaul-type-ID -T ethada+eth -a architecture

      If this device is a load balancer or a backhaul device, the value for the -a option is unsupported.

      Example: devtype -s 25091 -T ethada+eth -a unsupported

    2. Add the Ethernet port to the backhaul type by typing:

      devtype -s backhaul-type-ID -P ethernet-port+eth0+ethada

  3. You need to perform the preceding steps for every I-Fabric.

  4. Add the device to the I-Fabric by typing:

    device device-ID -c -t backhaul

    The device ID is the unique identifier for the unmanaged Ethernet device that you are adding to the I-Fabric.

  5. Add the Ethernet connection for the backhaul device by typing:

    device -sC chasiss-switch-ID chassis-switch-port backhaul-device-ID eth0

    The chassis switch ID is the device ID of the chassis switch where the newly added device is connected.

  6. Mark the device as FREE by executing the following command:

    device -sF device-ID
