Route Switch Processor (RSP8) Installation and Configuration Guide

Installing the RSP8

Step6 Verify that all the enabled LEDs (on the interface processors) are on.

Step7 In systems with a secondRSP8 installed (and HSA or HA configured), use the show version command

to verify that the standby RSP8 is recognized by the system. Following is a sample from a Cisco 7513:

Router> show version

Slave in slot 7 is running Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software

(Notethat this could also be “slot 6” depending on which RSP is configured as the standby or the recent

crash history of your router.)

Whenyou have verified all the conditions in Step 2 through Step 6 (or Step 7if you have a second RSP8

installedand want to use the HSA or HA features), the installation is complete. If you replaced the RSP8

and saved your configuration file to a remote server before doing so, see the“Retrieving the

ConfigurationFile” section on page 73. If you replaced the RSP8 and did not save the configuration, use

the configure command or the setup facility to reenter the configuration information.

Anerror condition exists if no LEDs go on at power up or after initialization, or if the CPU halt LED go

on and remain on.If this happens, proceed to the “Troubleshooting the Installation” section on page 64

to try to isolate the problem.

For more complete configuration information, refer to theConfiguration Fundamentals Configuration

Guide and the Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference publications, which are available

online, on the Documentation CD-ROM, or as printed documents.

Ifyou have a second RSP8 installed, you must configure the HSA (or HA, if you prefer) features for your

Cisco 7507, Cisco 7507-MX, Cisco 7513, or Cisco 7513-MX router. Read the following caution, and

then proceed to the “ConfiguringHigh System Availability” section on page 25,orthe“Enabling High

Availability Features” section on page41.

Caution When you install a second RSP8 card for the firsttime and plan to enable the HSA or HA features, you

must immediately configure it correctly. See the“Configuring High System Availability” section on

page 25, or the “Enabling High Availability Features” section on page 41. This ensures that the new

standby is configured consistently with the active. Failure to do so might result in an unconfigured

standby RSP8 (or RSP16) taking overcontrol of the router when the active fails, rendering the network

inoperable.

This completes the procedure for restarting the system.
