card type identifies the Processor Switching Module 45 (PXM45) or a service module type, such as

card state is "i" for initialized, "a" for active, or "s" for standby. For many commands, a card must
be active before the command can execute, so each command description has an Attributes section
that identifies the states in which the command can execute.

already performing its function with live traffic.

execute a command that puts it in the standby state. For example, the commands for a graceful
upgrade of firmware on a pair of PXM45s puts the active card in the standby state and the
standby card in the active state (see loadrev description for details).
