Figure 67. 24-Port 10Base-T DIP Switches
The DIP switches let you perform the following:
Use DIP switch positions 1 through 4 to assign all the ports on the module to
one of the backplane segments or an isolated-1 segment. Note that when
using DIP switches, all the ports will be assigned to the same segment, so
you cannot do per-port switching when using DIP switches for configuring
your the 8260 modules.
Table 17 shows the meaning of settings for DIP switches 1 thru 4:
By default, the module is shipped from the factory with the DIP switches set
for Ethernet_1.
Use DIP switch position 5 to choose if the module is going to use the
Non-Volatile RAM (ON position) or DIP switch settings (OFF position) for its
configuration. Note that if there is a management module installed in the
8260, this DIP switch determines which configuration (NVRAM or DIP switch
setting) will be sent to the management module. The actions taken by the
management module, upon receipt of this information are described in
