8692omSF module 69

You can install a 8692omSF module in both slots 5 and 6 of the 8006, 8010, or 8010co chassis to enable redundant operation. The redundant module in slot 6 can then assume the processing duties of a failing primary 8692omSF module in slot 5.

When the 8692omSF module in slot 6 completes initialization, it recalculates the topology information (Layer 2 including spanning tree groups (STG), Layer 3 including routing topology using Routing Information Proctocol/Open Shortest Path First (RIP/OSPF) or Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)) for the switch unless High Availability mode (HA-CPU flag) is enabled. In High Availability mode, all Layer 2 information is synchronized to the redundant CPU, which results in no interruption of network services. For more information about High Availability mode, see Managing Platform Operations (315545-E).

The two 8692omSF modules share switch fabric functions for the switch. If one 8692omSF module fails, the system reverts to operation with a single 8692omSF module.

8692omSF module LEDs

The Switch LEDs and the CPU LEDs serve as a bar graph to indicate card activity. The Switch bar graph increases as the switch fabric utilization increases. The CPU bar graph increases when the CPU is actively performing tasks, such as learning media access control (MAC) addresses, updating routing tables, or interacting with the device management station.

"8692omSF module LEDs" (page 70) describes the 8692omSF module LEDs.
