Resetting Line Cards - Cisco 10000 Series Configuration Manual

Chapter 16 Preparing for Line Card Installation and Configuration
If you insert a line card into a line card slot that has been preprovisioned for a different line card, the line
card reports a boot failure in an error message to the console. Output from the show ip interface brief
command indicates that the line card remains in an initialized state.
You can specify a mode of operation for the 24-port E1/T1 line card. If you do not, the line card operates
in the E1 mode.
Example
The following example preprovisions line card slot 2 to accept a 24-port E1/T1 line card operating in E1
mode:
Router(config)# card 2/0 24che1t1-1 mode e1

Resetting Line Cards

You can use the privileged EXEC mode hw-module command to reset a line card. For example:
Router# hw-module slot 2 reset
Router#
Resetting a line card effectively reloads the line card software onto the line card.
