Hot Swapping a Secondary Control Module

28 Enterasys Xpedition User Reference Manual

To set this up, you must include configuration statements for both line cards in the XP

configuration file. The XP determines which line card is installed in the slot and uses the

appropriate configuration statements.

For example, you may have an XP with a 10/100Base-TX line card in slot 7 and want to

hot swap it with a 1000Base-SX line card. If you include statements for both line cards in

the XP configuration file, the statements for the 1000Base-SX take effect immediately after

you install it in slot 7.

Hot Swapping a Secondary Control Module

If you have a secondary Control Module installed on the XP, you can hot swap it with

another Control Module or line card.

Warning: You can only hot swap an inactive Control Module. You should never remove the

active Control Module from the XP. Doing so will crash the system.

The procedure for hot swapping a Control Module is similar to the procedure for hot

swapping a line card. You must deactivate the Control Module, remove it from the XP,

and insert another Control Module or line card in the slot.

Deactivating the Control Module

To deactivate the Control Module:

1. Determine which is the secondary Control Module.

Control Modules can reside in slot CM or slot CM/1 on the XP. Usually slot CM

contains the primary Control Module, and slot CM/1 contains the secondary Control

Module. On the primary Control Module, the Online LED is lit, and on the secondary

Control Module, the Offline LED is lit.

Note: The Offline LED on the Control Module has a different function from the

Offline LED on a line card. On a line card, it means that the line card has been

deactivated. On a Control Module, a lit Offline LED means that it is standing

by to take over as the primary Control Module if necessary; it does not mean

that the Control Module has been deactivated.

2. Press the Hot Swap button on the secondary Control Module.
