Configuring Modular Devices

Introduction

The Chassis/Modules page applies only to modular devices—i.e., remote devices that combine a network interface module, chassis, and input/output modules. Use the chassis page to configure the chassis by:

selecting a chassis type, and specifying the number of chassis slots
inserting one or more modules into the chassis
removing a module from the chassis
moving a module to a different position in the chassis

You can add any chassis—and any module suitable for a selected chassis—that appears in the Device Library.
