Accessing the Standby MSFC
To access the standby MSFC, enter the switch supervisor command followed by the switch console
command.
The standby MSFC does not appear in the show module command display issued from the active
Note
supervisor engine.
Manually Booting the MSFC
If the configuration register on both MSFCs is set to 0x0, then MSFC manual mode requires that the
MSFC be manually booted each time the switch is reset. To manually boot the MSFC, perform these
steps:
Enter the switch console command to gain access to the MSFC ROMMON prompt.
Step 1
Enter the boot bootflash:image command.
Step 2
Once the MSFC has booted, enter ^C^C^C at the Router> prompt to return to the supervisor engine
Step 3
prompt. Now you may enter the session command to access the MSFC.
Setting the MSFC Configuration Register
For manual-mode MSFC redundancy, set the configuration registers as follows:
Step 1 From Cisco IOS configuration mode on the active MSFC (MSFC-15), perform the following:
Router(config)#config-register 0x2102
Router(config)#
From Cisco IOS configuration mode on the MSFC in ROM-monitor mode (MSFC-16), perform the
Step 2
following:
Router(config)#config-register 0x0
Router(config)#
Note We recommend that boot system commands in both MSFC configurations point to a valid image on
bootflash and that you do not set the configuration registers to ignore these boot commands.

Ensure that the console port on both supervisor engines is accessible to operations personnel
(out-of-band access through terminal server or modem).
The procedures in this section use the switch console command to access the MSFC from the
supervisor engine. The switch console command is not supported on Telnet sessions.
