Hi,

I am using FastIron SX800/1600 boxes as my core switches,
and some of them do not have redundant management modules.

The boxes with single management modules are only using
simple L2 functions -- VLANs and RSTP.  Has anyone
experienced a management module failure in such a
scenario?

Can someone please confirm what will happen if the
management module fails on this box?  Will it result in
total shutdown of all the attached ports?  Or will some
switching functions (already learnt macs/routes) continue
working?

Thanks for any help!
