Obtaining Slot Information
For a SilkWorm 12000 or 24000 configured as two logical switches, the chassis-wide commands
display or control both logical switches. In the default configuration, SilkWorm 24000 and 48000
directors are configured as one logical switch, so the chassis-wide commands display and control the
single logical switch.
To display the status of all slots in the chassis
1. Connect to the switch and log in as user or admin.
2. Enter the slotShow command to display the current status of each slot in the system. The format of
the display includes a header and four fields for each slot. The fields and their possible values are:
Field Value

Blade Type Displays the blade type:
SW BLADE: The blade is a switch.
CP BLADE: The blade is a control processor.
