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 LMA. 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slot has been replaced by a new card and this new card is now the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.
