I cant figure how to find the module slot for 3650-24PS multi layer switch

Hi there :wave:,

First off, I just want to say how much I love this extension! It’s something I’ve been wanting for a while and I’m thrilled you've created it.

I’m currently trying to run a simple script to create a topology, but I’m having trouble locating the module slots. Here’s the script I’m working with:

addDevice("R1", "1941", 250, 100);
addDevice("MLS1", "3650-24PS", 250, 200);
addModule("MLS1","1/0","GLC-T");
addLink("R1", "GigabitEthernet0/1", "MLS1", "GigabitEthernet1/0/1", "straight");

addDevice("S1", "2960-24TT", 300, 350);
addLink("MLS1", "GigabitEthernet1/0/2", "S1", "GigabitEthernet0/1", "cross");

addDevice("PC-A", "PC-PT", 300, 450);
addLink("S1", "FastEthernet0/1", "PC-A", "FastEthernet0", "straight");

addDevice("PC-B", "PC-PT", 400, 400);
addLink("S1", "FastEthernet0/2", "PC-B", "FastEthernet0", "straight");

addDevice("PC-C", "PC-PT", 450, 330);
addLink("S1", "FastEthernet0/3", "PC-C", "FastEthernet0", "straight");

addDevice("S2", "2960-24TT", 200, 350);
addLink("MLS1", "GigabitEthernet1/0/3", "S2", "GigabitEthernet0/1", "cross");

addDevice("PC-D", "PC-PT", 200, 450);
addLink("S2", "FastEthernet0/1", "PC-D", "FastEthernet0", "straight");

addDevice("PC-E", "PC-PT", 100, 400);
addLink("S2", "FastEthernet0/2", "PC-E", "FastEthernet0", "straight");

addDevice("PC-F", "PC-PT", 50, 330);
addLink("S2", "FastEthernet0/3", "PC-F", "FastEthernet0", "straight");

I’ve tried various slot notations (like 0/0, 0/0/0, and 0/1), but none seem to work :disappointed:.

Is there any documentation available on how to correctly locate the module slots? Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Awesome! I didn't expect anyone else to ever use it. I've found a few issues I haven't fixed, but might take the time now.

Thanks for you script and for reporting this. I'll see if I can find you an answer in the next few days.

There isn't but should be

Thanks!

Thank you so much!

In the case of your script above (using the 3650-24PS), the four SFP module slots are 2/0, 2/1, 2/2, and 2/3. So this works:

addModule("MLS1","2/0","GLC-T");

FYI I used the debug window to try different slot IDs until I found the one that worked:

• Go to Extensions menu > Scripting > Configure PT Script Modules...
• Click the Builder script module, then click Debug

From here you can enter individual commands and get immediate feedback (true = success, false = failed).

HOWEVER after a quick bit of testing, I can't seem to add the AC-POWER-SUPPLY to any slot (tried 0, 1, 0/0, 1/0 etc). I think the AC-POWER-SUPPLY used by the 3650 is a different type to the one used in other devices (type 4 for other devices, type 18 for the 3650). I need to investigate.

Also todo: Add a "Module Slots" page to the Wiki. Hopefully I can use some JS to interrogate the module slots of every device, grab the count of slots and the slot type.
