synchronized its database with the active control card, at which point it
turns solid amber to indicate the inactive state of the card. However, the
inactive card is forwarding traffic over the backplane.
Using the Console
Port to Monitor
the Initialization
Process
Another way to monitor the initialization process of the chassis is to
connect a terminal or PC with a terminal emulator program to the Console
port on the control card and watch the status messages. (The settings for
the terminal or terminal emulator program are found in “Using Local
Management to Verify the Chassis” on page 192.) Figure 142 here and
Figure 143 on page 187 illustrate the messages. The chassis has
completed phase 1 when it displays the “Username” prompt. To monitor
phases 2 and 3, log in to the switch and use the SHOW CARD command.
For instructions, refer to the Software Reference for SwitchBlade x3100
Series Switches.
