card (GigaVUE TA Series)

Required Command-Line Mode = Configure
Required User Level = Admin

Use the card command to specify how the GigaVUE TA Series node uses its physical 40Gb ports. This command also applies to white box nodes with GigaVUE-OS.

The card command has the following syntax for GigaVUE-TA1, GigaVUE-TA10, and white box:

card slot <slot ID> mode <48x | 56x | 64x>

GigaVUE TA Series nodes only have a single card, so the slot value is always set to 1.
