Verifying Packet Processing And Line Card Configurations; Configuring Line Card And Spio Port Redundancy - Cisco ASR 5000 Administration Manual

System Settings
Use the following example to configure packet processing card and line card availability:
configure
card slot#
card-standby-priority slot#_p1 slot#_p2 ... slot#_pn
end
Notes:
• When activating cards, remember to keep at least one card in standby mode for redundancy.
• Repeat for every other packet processing card in the chassis that you wish to activate.
• card-standby-priority specifies the order in which the system will use standby packet processing cards
For example, a system has three packet processing cards that are in standby mode. They are installed in chassis
slots 14, 15 and 16. If an active processing card fails, and you want the packet processing card in slot 15 to
replace the failed packet processing card followed by the packet processing card in slot 14, enter the following
command:
card-standby-priority 15 14
In the unlikely event that the packet processing cards in chassis slots 15 and 14 are unavailable, the system
automatically uses the remaining standby packet processing card in slot 16 for redundancy.
Save the configuration as described in the Verifying and Saving Your Configuration chapter.

Verifying Packet Processing and Line Card Configurations

Verify that the configuration was successful. Depending on the type of card(s) you activated, enter either or
both of the following commands:
show card table
show linecard table
Any card that you made active should now have an operational status of Active.

Configuring Line Card and SPIO Port Redundancy

Port redundancy for line cards and SPIOs provides an added level of redundancy that minimizes the impact
of network failures that occur external to the system. Examples include switch or router port failures,
disconnected or cut cables, or other external faults that cause a link down error.
mode active { pac | psc }
exit
as redundant components.
• By default, the system uses the standby packet processing card in the highest-numbered slot (slot
16) as the first card to use for redundancy. This step is required if there are processing cards installed
in the system that are in standby mode, and you want to configure the system to use an order other
than the default.
• slot#_p1 is the chassis slot number of the standby packet processing card that you want to use first
as a redundant component. slot#_p2 is the chassis slot number of the standby processing card that
you want to use second as a redundant component. slot#_pn is the chassis slot number of the
standby packet processing card that you want to use as the last redundant component.
