Chapter 3 Cisco SME Interface Configuration
Removing (Unbinding) Cisco SME Interfaces from a Cisco SME Cluster
Removing (Unbinding) Cisco SME Interfaces from a Cisco SME
Cluster
Removing a Cisco SME interface from a cluster means that the interface is still up but it is not bound to
a cluster.
In the existing MDS 9000 Family platform, a module can be replaced with another module and there is
no change in configuration. In Cisco SME, due to security reasons, when an MSM-18/4 module is
configured as part of a cluster, it cannot be replaced with another MSM-18/4 module, otherwise, the
Cisco SME interface will come up in an inactive state. The correct procedure is to remove the Cisco SME
interface from the cluster and re-add the interface back into the cluster. This procedure should be
followed to bring a new MSM-18/4 module into the cluster.
Caution You must enter the copy running-config startup-config CLI command after adding or deleting
interfaces or switches from a cluster.
To remove (unbind) a Cisco SME interface from an existing Cisco SME configuration, follow these
steps:
Step 1 From the SME navigation pane, click Members to display the switches and interfaces already
configured in the cluster.
Step 2 Select a Cisco SME interface and click Remove.
Step 3 Click OK to delete (unbind) the interface.
Step 4 View the notification that the interface was removed.
