Verifying and Configuring the Upgraded Routing Engine as the Master

After replacing the backup Routing Engine with the RE-S-X6-64G Routing Engine, perform the following
steps:
1. Verify that the SCBE2 and RE-S-X6-64G Routing Engine are online by issuing the show chassis hardware
command.
2. After you install the RE-S-X6-64G Routing Engine into the SCBE2, the Routing Engine gets automatically
powered on and comes up in amnesiac mode as it is loaded with factory defaults. After the Routing
Engine comes up in amnesiac mode, load the base configuration and commit.
3. Configure the backup Routing Engine by using the commit synchronize command to copy the
configuration to the backup Routing Engine.
4. Use the request chassis routing-engine master switch command to make the Routing Engine
RE-S-X6-64G (RE1) the master Routing Engine. All FPCs reboot after this step.

Verifying and Configuring the Upgraded Routing Engine as the Backup

1. Use the request chassis routing-engine master switch command to make newly installed RE-S-X6-64G
(RE0) the backup Routing Engine.
2. Use the commit synchronize command to copy the active configuration from the master Routing Engine
to the backup Routing Engine.

RE-S-X6-64G Routing Engine Description
Upgrading to the RE-S-X6-64G Routing Engine in a Nonredundant Host
Subsystem
In a nonredundant host subsystem, only one Routing Engine and one Switch Control Board are present in
the chassis. When you are upgrading the Routing Engine, taking the host subsystem offline shuts down
the router. To upgrade the host subsystem with the RE-S-X6-64G Routing Engine, you must uninstall the
existing Routing Engine and install the RE-S-X6-64G Routing Engine. Ensure that the Switch Control Board
in the chassis is SCBE2 because the RE-S-X6-64G Routing Engine is not compatible with the Switch Control
