Table 3-1 CPU Switch Module Hardware States

State

Description

 

 

Active

Processor card is currently providing clock signals and control for all system

 

cards. The active CPU switch module responds to the configured

 

management IP address.

 

 

Standby

Processor card is partially booted in hot-standby state waiting to switch over

 

when the active CPU switch module fails, when it is rebooted or removed,

 

or when a manual switchover is requested.

 

 

Nonparticipant

Processor card is in ROMMON mode, or is in the process of booting, or has

 

not yet reached the hot-standby state. Manual switchovers are rejected unless

 

the force option is used.

 

 

Not plugged in

Processor card slot is empty.

 

 

Error

Processor card is present but either the interprocess arbitration interface is

 

not functioning or the CPU switch module is not fully seated in the chassis

 

slot.

 

 

Figure 3-1shows the valid hardware transition states for a system with redundant CPU switch modules.

In response to redundancy events, such as switchovers and reboots of the active CPU switch module, the software transitions through a series of software redundancy states. Table 3-2lists some of the significant software states.
