Page 10: Switching Performance And Characteristics
The SwitchBlade architecture is based on a non-blocking wire-speed Layer 2 and 3 switching fabric. Layer 3 switching is performed by line cards as well as switch controllers. As with other Allied Telesis Layer 3 switches, the SwitchBlade includes full multiprotocol routing capabilities. -
Page 11: Hot-Swapping A Line Card
Hardware Reference • Line cards. Equivalent cards can be exchanged without having to reconfigure the switch. For example, if an AT-SB-4311 line card is removed and replaced with a new AT-SB-4311 (in the same bay), the new card will use the original card’s configuration (as long as the switch is not restarted before the new card is installed). - Page 12 SwitchBlade 4000 Series Switch Whether a power cycle occurred between the create config command and the line card being replaced, and If a power cycle did occur, whether another create config command has been entered. The process flow is shown in Figure 1-1 on page 12. Figure 1-1: The process flow involved in hot swapping a line card out, changing the switch’s configuration, and then hot swapping the line card back in Line card is hotswapped out...
- Page 13 Hardware Reference The most desirable situation is to avoid a power cycle before replacing the line card. However, if a power cycle does occur, the line card’s original configuration is saved by the switch and can be displayed by using the command: show config dynamic Look for “Swapped out”...
- Page 14 SwitchBlade 4000 Series Switch The switch’s configuration maintains the swapped-out settings. These result in error messages on start-up, but do not affect the functioning of the switch. The configuration can be manually edited to remove the swapped sections that no longer apply. Line Card 1 has been configured and then removed before the configuration was saved using the create config command.
