NI Module Behavior During Takeover

If there are no unsaved configuration changes and the flash directories on both the primary and secondary
management modules have been synchronized through the

during the takeover.
If a configuration change is made to one or more NI modules (for example, a VLAN is configured on
several different interfaces) and the changes are not saved through the
corresponding NIs automatically reloads if a management module takeover occurs. Data flow on the
affected NIs will be interrupted until the reload is complete. Note that the NIs reloads whether the flash
synchronization status shows SYNCHRONIZED. This is because the unsaved changes have occurred in
the running configuration ( RAM), and have not been written to the configuration file of the flash direc-
tory. In this case, a list of only the affected NIs is displayed in the table output (for example, 1 6).
If the flash directories on the primary and secondary management modules are not synchronized (for
