Configuring Node Components

The 6800 Series NMS allows you to change or display the configuration of node and network
resources, including common hardware (such as CPUs and TSIs), channel hardware (such as
channel modules and channel interface modules), physical (56K/64K or T1) links (such as DS1
modules and aggregate link modules), channels, channel groups, NAPs, and SDLs. These
capabilities are described in the following paragraphs in terms of the node's components.

Control Processing Units

The 740, 745, and 740-56K multiplexer can be equipped with one or two (for optional redundancy)
control processing units (CPUs) at a time (the 741 and 742 chassis do not support CPU
redundancy). If the node is equipped with two CPUs, it is also equipped with an auto CPU switch.
This auto CPU switch monitors CPU activity. If a failure is detected, the auto CPU switch
automatically switches network operation to the standby CPU. During normal operation, the
databases of both CPUs are synchronized so that the standby CPU can take over without disruption
when a switch occurs.
When a CPU is installed (or removed and reinstalled), execute the Compare Control Processor
(ccp) command to synchronize the new or reinstalled CPU's database with that of the equipped
CPU. The configurable service states for CPUs are as follows:
active

The CPU is in service and functioning normally.
The CPU is ready to take over system operation from the active CPU, if necessary.
