Description for Tag Switching
For tag switching, before it can carry traffic, the link to a tag switch controller must be “upped”
(using either uptrk or upport) at the BPX node. The link can then be “added” to the network (using
addshelf). Also, the link must be free of major alarms before you can add it with the addshelf
command.
Note Once a port on the BXM is upped in either trunk or port mode by either the uptrk or upport
commands, respectively, all other ports can only be “upped” in the same mode.
