Configuring the SP Switch Router Adapter

Verify SP Switch Router Adapter card from router

The POWER-UP state is the normal condition as power is being applied to the media card.

The BOOT-REQUESTED state is one step in the progress of a card during initial power-up, while a card is coming up, or while a card is being reset due to user or software direction.

DUMPING is the resulting state when a card is directed to dump at reset, at a panic, or as user-specified in the Dump or appropriate Card profile.

LOADING is a state during which the card receives its run-time image.

CONFIGURING is a waiting state for the media card after it issues a request for configuration parameters. The media card stays in the CONFIGURING state after being loaded until it has all necessary configuration information, is initialized, and the kernel recognizes the card is up.

RUNNING is the normal operating state, the card is able to receive and send packets.

NOT-RESPONDING is a state in which the card does not answer requests from the operating software. The card could be hung. If it decides a card is hung, the kernel begins an automatic reset.

A system fault can cause a card to go into the PANIC state. After a card panics, it needs operator or kernel intervention to start up. The kernel either reboots the card, or dumps and then reboots, depending upon how variables are user-specified in the Dump or appropriate Card profile.

An operator can use the grreset -hcommand to put a card into the HELD_RESET state to keep it up but not transferring packets.

When the kernel cannot determine what a media card is doing, it places the card into STATE_UNKNOWN, and either reboots the card, or dumps and then reboots the card, depending upon how variables are user-specified in the Dump or appropriate Card profile.
