Communicating with a Standby RP

The active RSP automatically synchronizes all system software, settings, and configurations with the standby
RSP.
If you connect to the standby RSP through the console port, you can view the status messages for the standby
RSP. The standby RSP does not display a CLI prompt, so you cannot manage the standby card while it is in
standby mode.
If you connect to the standby RSP through the management Ethernet port, the prompt that appears is for the
active RSP, and you can manage the router the same as if you had connected through the management Ethernet
port on the active RSP.
Reloading, Shutting Down, or Power Cycling a Node
Use the commands described in this section to reload the Cisco IOS XR software on the active RSP or on any
specified node in the system. This section also describes the commands used to administratively shut down
a node and power a node on or off.
