Planning Standalone and Redundant Card Configurations

A PXM card or service module operates in either standalone mode or redundant mode, depending on the
card type, the other cards in the switch, and the configuration applied to that card. The following
subsections provide planning guidelines for installing cards that will operated in standalone and
redundant configurations.
