Inserting a Line Card

Inserting a Line Card

When a line card is inserted into a chassis being managed by Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager, then the EMS detects that a line card has been inserted through the chassis heartbeat polling (which occurs every minute). Once the EMS detects that the line card is inserted, an informative alarm is raised against the respective chassis object in Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager with a description The chassis configuration has changed. After this the chassis rediscovers itself and all its child objects. After the chassis has been rediscovered, the line card and interface objects for the newly inserted line card with its associated graphic will be deployed and commissioned against the appropriate slots. It is placed in the appropriate state in the device in both the componentManaged view and the Physical view. The OSI icons for line cards and interfaces discovered after insertion and in normal state are displayed below.

Mismatched State

The mismatched state occurs when a mismatch is found between the hardware and what is deployed in Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager. The mismatched state appears if you insert an incorrect module that does not correspond with the module type that has been pre-deployed in Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager, or, if the pre-deployment for the new module is incorrect. For example: you are expecting an ATM OC-3 line card, so you pre-deploy and pre-configure Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager to prepare for that type of line card. Now, when the line card becomes available and is placed into the chassis, it is not an ATM OC-3 line card, but a POS OC-3 line card. What happens? Once the Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager detects the new line card, it finds a mismatch. The line card gets placed into the mismatch state and a major alarm is raised against the line card.

To rectify a mismatch problem, first you must assess the source of the problem. If the operator was at fault and pre-deployed an incorrect module, the operator should decommission and delete the pre-deployed module and re-deploy the correct module. If the engineer is at fault and inserted the wrong type of module into the chassis, then the module should be removed. When you remove a module, Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager moves that module into a lost comms state. When the correct module is re-inserted, Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager finds the new module and downloads the correct pre-deployment and pre-configuration information, then places the module into a normal state.
