    PPT 3087 005 AA2 Fabric replacement can affect traffic When both fabric cards in either Nortel Networks Multiservice Switch node are in service, they operate in a load-sharing mode such that either card can take over all the traffic of its mate. When a fabric card fails completely, the failure triggers the remaining card to take over the incoming traffic from the failed card, and the failed card is put into a lock-out state.
  • Page 84: Fabric Replacement Can Affect System Cooling

    A reset loses all in-progress traffic. The CPs and FPs will not reboot until a fabric card is installed and returns to service. For a description of handling fabric card software sparing, takeover, and lockout, see to NN10600-550 Nortel Networks Multiservice Switch 7400/15000/20000 Common Configuration Procedures.
