disrupted. Use the command

Line Card Online Insertion and Removal

FTOS detects the line card type when you insert a line card into a online chassis. FTOS writes the line card
type to the running-config and maintains this information as a logical configuration if you remove the card
(or the card fails), as shown in
Figure 18-4.
