Nortel Networks 8672ATME manual Replacing a module

Chapter 3 Installing the Passport 8672ATME Module 45

To verify that the Passport 8672ATME Module is ready to receive and transmit traffic, check the LEDs on the module and the MDA. Once you enable the ports using the CLI or Device Manager, the online LED on the module lights steady green, and the module is ready. See “Online LED” on page 30 and “MDA LEDs” on page 31.

For information on enabling ports, refer to “Editing port parameters” on page 58 .

You configure and manage the Passport 8600 series switch operation for your network using the command line interface (CLI) or SNMP-based network management software, such as Device Manager. For information on configuring and managing the Passport 8672ATME Module, refer to Chapter 4, “Managing the Passport 8672ATME Module with Device Manager,” on page 47 , to Chapter 5, “Managing the Passport 8672ATME Module with the CLI,” on page 75, and to Chapter 6, “Configuring the Passport 8672ATME Module,” on page 117.

Factory default settings for the Passport 8672ATME Module are shown in Appendix B, “Factory defaults,” on page 155 .

Replacing a module

You can hot-swap Passport 8672ATME Modules as long as the module you are inserting has the same MDAs installed as the module you are replacing. In this case, the system saves the previous configurations. If you hot-swap the module with a module that has different MDAs installed, you must reconfigure the module.

If you are hot-swapping modules, read the following section for information about how the routing switch recognizes replacement modules and how to avoid potential problems.

Warning: The Passport 8672ATME Module itself is hot-swappable; the

MDAs necessary to pass traffic on the module are not hot-swappable.
