Chapter 1 Product Overview

Switching Modules

Send documentation comments to mdsfeedback-doc@cisco.com.

The supervisor module can force a reset on the switching module and controls whether power is applied to the switching module.

If a single component or a set of components on the switching module fails, this does not disable other switching modules if that is the only failure in the system.

For the detection of most component failures, each switching module has a hardware watchdog timer that resets the card if is not serviced periodically.
