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.
Caution When you enter the no fabric switching-mode allow bus-mode command, power is removed from any
nonfabric-enabled modules installed in the router.

truncated command.
• To prevent fabric-enabled modules from using truncated mode, enter the no fabric switching-mode
allow truncated command.

• To return to the default truncated-mode threshold, enter the no fabric switching-mode allow
truncated threshold command.
