Accton Technology ES4710BD manual Configuration Recover Rules, Active-Standby Alternation

ES4710BD 10 Slots L2/L3/L4 Chassis Switch

If the cards need to be replaced during normal operation, the following guidelines should be followed:

‹Display a message of processing card hot removal.

‹The card can be removed when the RUN indicator for the card to be removed goes off and the status of the card in master control board is REMOVED.

‹Remove the card, the master control board will indicate the card has been removed

(the message displayed on the panel is EMPTY).

Note: Active Master control board can not be removed online.

6.3.3Configuration Recover Rules

When the switch starts up, the system will reload the information saved in the “StartUp-Config” configuration file from the FLASH. If the card in slot N mismatches the card type saved in “StartUp-Config”, then the configuration for that card will not be reloaded.

When the system is operating normally and a user removes a card, the system keeps all the information configured for that card but won’t write to FLASH, the information will be lost upon system restart.

When the system is operating normally and the user hot-inserts a card into a slot with a different card inserted previously, the system will not reload configuration; if the slot has a same type of card as the one inserted previously, then the system will try to reload the saved card’s configuration; if the saved card’s configuration is empty, the slot configuration information recorded in "StartUp-Config" configuration file will be loaded.

6.3.4Active-Standby Alternation

The switch supports Active-Standby alternation, i.e., when master control boards are present and working normally, the user can switch the master control board role between Active Master and Standby Master. The “show slot” command can be used to determine the Active Master, non-Active master is the Standby Master. When performing Active-Standby alternation, the user should press the SWAP button of Active Master and remove the board, or just remove the Active Master directly, the Standby Master will then become Active Master. After Active-Standby alternation, the configuration of the switch will revert to the configuration saved in “startup-config”.
