Preprovisioning Line Card Slots - Cisco 10000 Series Configuration Manual

Preprovisioning Line Card Slots

Preprovisioning Line Card Slots
The line card slot preprovisioning feature allows you to preprovision a Cisco 10000 series router line
card slot to accept a particular line card. Using the card command, you can configure interfaces for a
line card that is not yet inserted into the router chassis.
The line card slot preprovisioning feature allows you to plan for future configurations. Preprovisioning
a line card slot downloads software to the line card slot for the line card you are planning to install.
Preprovisioning allows you to prepare in advance a complete configuration for the line card, including
items you normally need to configure after initially configuring the line card, such as PVCs under an
ATM line card or VLANs under an Ethernet line card.
Personnel responsible for provisioning and setup operations can preprovision line card slots in the Cisco
10000 series router to accept a particular line card. When the functionality is needed, installers can then
insert the card into the router chassis.
The following example preprovisions line card slot 2 to accept a 24-port E1/T1 line card operating in E1
mode:
Router(config)# card 2/0 24che1t1-1 mode e1
Changing the Provisioning of a Line Card Slot
Use the card command to change the provisioning of a line card slot. You can remove the old line card
before or after using the card command to change the line card provisioning. The following example
shows how to change the provisioning for line card slot 5 from the 1-Port Gigabit Ethernet Half-Height
line card to the 4-Port OC3/STM-1 line card.
Router(config)# card 5/0 4oc3atm-1
