The configuration steps outlined below are repeated on both IOMs. When validating the configurations
in this guide the following management IP addresses (Table 12) were used.
Management IP Addresses
9.1.1 Configuring the FN IOM for programmable MUX mode
In this section, the switch is set to Programmable MUX (PMUX) mode.
In Figure 46, configuration mode is used to set the switch to PMUX IOM mode, then the configuration
is saved and the switch is reloaded. Once the reload is complete, the IOM mode is verified using the
show system stack-unit iom mode command. Then, the management IP address is assigned to allow
VLT heartbeats as well as SSH/telnet access.
