System Health Checking
The system health checker tests the backplane, the CPU, and I/O modules by periodically forwarding
packets and checking for the validity of the forwarded packets.
To enable the system health checker, use the following command:
enable sys-health-check slot <slot>
To disable the system health checker, use the following command:
disable sys-health-check slot <slot>
To configure the how often packets are forwarded, use the following command:
configure sys-health-check interval <interval>
System Redundancy
If you install two MSMs in the chassis, one assumes the role of primary (master) and the other assumes
the role of standby (backup). The primary MSM provides all of the switch management functions
including bringing up and programming the I/O modules, running the bridging and routing protocols,
and configuring the switch. The primary also keeps in sync with the standby MSM in case the standby
needs to take over the primary role if the primary fails.
Table 17 describes the terms associated with system redundancy.

Description
Node
A node is a CPU that runs the XOS management applications on the switch. Each MSM
installed in the chassis is a node.
