Online Installation and Removal of the T1 or E1 DFC

Overview

To remove a DFC without dropping any calls or connections, you will need to take the DFC out of service by using the busyout command to disable the DFC. The busyout command is executed on a per DFC basis and will gracefully disable the card by waiting for the active services to terminate.

If you have active calls on the DFC after executing the busyout command, wait for the calls to drop. Use the show busyout command to view the status of the termination process.

Caution The online installation and removal (OIR) of new cards should be done ONLY during times of low CPU utilization, such as during maintenance.

Caution To avoid erroneous failure messages, remove or insert only one DFC at a time.

When you replace a DFC with a new DFC of the same type in the same slot, the system software will recognize the new trunk interfaces and bring them up automatically.

If you replace the existing DFC with a new DFC of a different type, you will have to reconfigure the system. For configuration details, refer to the Cisco AS5350 and Cisco AS5400 Universal Gateway Software Configuration Guide.
