One switch fabric module (either the Passport 8690SF or Passport 8691SF) acts as the CPU for the chassis, and the other module is the standby CPU, taking over in case of failure. Note that the administrative and operational configurations of the Passport 8672ATME Module are not retained after failover. When a CPU failover occurs, all traffic on the chassis stops momentarily while the standby CPU re-initializes all input/output modules.
