Configuring the Carrier in a Managed ONcore Hub

3-7

Hot Swapping an You can remove a module from the ONcore hub and install an identical ONcore Module module in the same slot without powering off the hub. This is called a hot

swap. Whether or not you hot swap the Edge Router module affects which configuration source the carrier uses.

When you perform a hot swap, the DMM transfers to the new carrier the configuration used by the old carrier. The new carrier saves the settings in its NVRAM.

The DMM transfers the configuration to the new carrier only if it has a saved configuration for the old carrier installed in that slot. The DMM saves the configuration when you perform one of the following:

■Issue the SAVE command.

■Use SNMP to make the configuration changes to the carrier. The DMM automatically saves the changes.

■Reset or power-cycle the DMM. The DMM automatically acquires and saves the NVRAM configurations of all installed modules.

Swapping in a new carrier that contains a different engine from the old carrier is still a hot swap. Only the carrier models must be the same.
