Hot-Swapping a Switch Module or Interface Module
Setting up Switch
Module Redundancy
This section describes procedures for installing and setting up both a
main and redundant switch module together.
Two different setup procedures are described. The first procedure covers
setting up the main and redundant switch module hardware redundancy
without setting up LANE redundancy. This procedure only requires
operating the Local Management Application (LMA). The LMA is
described in the CoreBuilder 7000 Family ATM Switch User Guide. The
second procedure sets up the main and redundant switch module
hardware redundancy as well as LANE redundancy. It requires both the
LMA and the Transcend Enterprise Manager.
There are two situations where you would use the procedures of this
section:
1
The initial installation of main and redundant cards.
2
The main card in the first slot has failed and the redundant card in the
second slot has taken over as the main card. The failed card in the first
slot has been replaced by a new card and this new card is now the
redundant one.
