Removing and Replacing Cards
This section describes card replacement issues and procedures.
Removing Line Cards
Line cards are designed for online insertion and removal (OIR). A line card is a single card that contains all
service processing functions and physical line interfaces.
The OIR feature allows you to remove and replace cards without removing power to the card or chassis.
Removing a card interrupts all traffic passing through the card, but it does not remove the card configuration.
When you remove a card, the configuration remains for all interfaces, but the interfaces do not appear in the
output of the show interfaces command. You can view interface configurations by entering the show
running-config command. The following example shows how the configuration appears when a card is
removed:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# show running-config
