Module removal and switch behavior considerations
After you remove or replace a module in your chassis, you can expect the following results.
• If you replace a module with a different type of module, the system discards the
configuration of the old ports, and the new ports are added to either the default VLAN or
a null VLAN, depending on the operating mode of the switch.
• If you remove an interface module from an operating switch, and replace it with the same
type of module, the system restores the configuration.
• If you save the configuration in nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM), turn off the
switch, replace a module with a different type of module, and turn the system on again,
the system discards the configuration of the old ports and add adds new ports to either
the default VLAN or an unassigned VLAN, depending on the operating mode of the
switch.
The ability of the switch to load configuration files for modules depends on whether the module
is present in the chassis. By design, configuration files do not completely load if the module is
not installed.
If you boot the switch without the modules and want to completely load the configuration files,
use the following methods:
• Install the module and then reboot the switch.
OR
• Install the module and source, and save the configuration file (which avoids a reboot).
