Online Insertion and Removal

The Cisco 7304 router supports online insertion and removal (OIR) of line cards; therefore, you do not
have to power down the router when removing and replacing a 6E3 line card on a Cisco 7304 router. The
Cisco 7304 router also supports CLI-controlled OIR, which allows active data traffic to complete before
the active interfaces are shut down. For more information, see the
page
CLI-controlled OIR is the recommended way of performing OIR on this platform. As you disengage the
Note
line card from the router, online insertion and removal (OIR) administratively shuts down all active
interfaces on the line card.
Before you begin installation, read the
Note
parts and tools required for installation.
