Deployment Guide

NOTE: PEs which are marked as SVC must be rebooted or upgraded as early as possible or in the scheduled maintenance
time window.
To schedule PE reboots, perform the following steps:
1. Enable the scheduled PE reboot feature using the following command:
pe-version-compat-support enable
2. Schedule a reboot or upgrade of the PEs with the state SVC but has a mismatched version with CB using the following
command:
reset pe schedule at 0:10-12/29/2017 range 1,3,5-10 no-confirm
This command resets all the PEs with pe-ids in range 5 to 10 and pe-ids 1 and 3 at 0:10 AM on 29th Dec, 2017.
3. View the list of PEs that are scheduled to be rebooted at a later point in time using the following command:
reset pe schedule show
The system displays information on the PEs that are scheduled to be rebooted.
NOTE: The following commands are available only on the primary VLT peer: reset pe schedule, reset pe
unschedule, and reset pe schedule show.
JobID Status Scheduled Start Time Scheduled PE's
000 Scheduled 08:59-09/19/17 0,1
001 Scheduled 23:30-09/19/17 2,3
002 Scheduled 20:30-12/29/17 5-6
Troubleshooting a Port Extender
Normally you manage a PE through the C9010 console attached to the parent C9010 switch. However, if a port extender cannot
connect to the C9010, use the following commands from a PE console to troubleshoot the error condition.
cd Change current directory
clear Reset functions
copy Copy from one file to another
delete Delete a file
diag Run diagnosis
dir List files on a filesystem
disable Turn off privileged commands
enable Turn on privileged commands
exit Exit from the EXEC
format Format a filesystem
hostname Set system's network name
no Reset a command
offline Take a PE stack unit offline
online Bring a PE stack unit online
power-cycle Power-cycle the unit(s)
pwd Display current working directory
reload PE Halt and perform a cold restart
rename Rename a file
reset Reset selected PE
show PE Show running system information
telnet-peer-stack-unit Open a telnet connection to the peer stack-unit
upgrade Upgrade subcommands

● A port extender supports the following L2 protocols on PE ports:
○ 802.1x
