Configuring the Switch Fabric Functionality
To configure the switching mode, perform this task:
Command
Router(config)# [no] fabric switching-mode allow
{bus-mode | {truncated [{threshold [number]}]}
When configuring the switching mode, note the following information:
•
•
When you enter the no fabric switching-mode allow bus-mode command, power is removed from any

Monitoring the Switch Fabric Functionality
The switch fabric functionality supports a number of show commands for monitoring purposes. A fully
automated startup sequence brings the module online and runs the connectivity diagnostics on the ports.

other fabric-enabled modules.
To allow use of nonfabric-enabled modules or to allow fabric-enabled modules to use bus mode,
enter the fabric switching-mode allow bus-mode command.
To prevent use of nonfabric-enabled modules or to prevent fabric-enabled modules from using bus
mode, enter the no fabric switching-mode allow bus-mode command.
To allow fabric-enabled modules to use truncated mode, enter the fabric switching-mode allow
truncated command.
To prevent fabric-enabled modules from using truncated mode, enter the no fabric switching-mode
allow truncated command.
To configure how many fabric-enabled modules must be installed before they use truncated mode
instead of bus mode, enter the fabric switching-mode allow truncated threshold number command.
To return to the default truncated-mode threshold, enter the no fabric switching-mode allow
truncated threshold command.
