Card Configuration Mode Commands

Mode

Use the Card configuration mode to create and manage the physical cards in the chassis.

Exec > Global Configuration > Card Configuration

configure > card card_number

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: 

[local]host_name(config-card- slot_number)#

Important

The commands or keywords/variables that are available are dependent on platform type, product version, and installed license(s).

end

Exits the current configuration mode and returns to the Exec mode.

Mode

Exec > Global Configuration > Card Configuration

configure > card card_number

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: 

[local]host_name(config-card- slot_number)#

Syntax

link-aggregation { system-priority priority | toggle-link } [-noconfirm ] 
{ default | no } link-aggregation { system-priority | toggle-link } [-noconfirm ]

default

Resets the configuration to the default.

link-aggregation system-priority priority

This command sets the system priority used by Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to form the system ID.

priority is a hexadecimal value from 0x0000 through 0xFFFF. Default is 0x8000 (32768).

toggle-link

Sets the system to toggle link on port switch.

-noconfirm

Executes the command without additional prompting for command confirmation.

Usage Guidelines

The system MAC address (6 bytes) and system priority (2 bytes) combine to form the system ID. A system consists of a packet processing card and its associated ASR 5500 MIO traffic ports. The highest system ID priority (the lowest number) handles dynamic changes.

For additional usage and configuration information for the link aggregation feature, refer to the System Administration Guide.


Important

Not supported on all platforms

Example

The following command configures the link aggregation system-priority to 10640 (0x2990 ): 
link-aggregation system-priority 0x2990

mode

Sets the application processor card's current administrative state to active or standby.

Mode

Exec > Global Configuration > Card Configuration

configure > card card_number

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: 

[local]host_name(config-card- slot_number)#

Syntax

mode { active | standby } [ -noconfirm ] 
default mode [ -noconfirm ]

default

Returns the mode to the default value appropriate to the card type.

The default administrative mode for line cards affects a single card and its mated line card. The default state for line cards in the top shelf is active. The default for line cards in the bottom shelf is standby.

The default administrative state for the SPIO in slot 24 is active and the SPIO in slot 25 is standby.

The default administrative mode for packet processing cards is standby.


Important

This command results in a migration of processes if the default mode for a card is different than the current state of the card.

active

Defines which card type is to be switched from standby to active state. If a card is present in the slot, the packet processing card is automatically selected depending upon the type of card. If no card is present in the slot, a packet processing card is assumed.

standby

Sets the packet processing card in the slot to standby mode.


Caution

Switching an active packet processing card to standby deletes all port configurations, including bindings, for the attached line cards.

-noconfirm

Executes the command without additional prompting for command confirmation.

Usage Guidelines

Set the desired mode of mated cards. The card targeted for maintenance is placed in the standby state first.

The setting of the mode determines which packet processing cards are to be active and which are to be the standby cards for redundancy. Use this command to configure the set of active and standby packet processing cards. The application processor card's standby priority is then used in conjunction with the set of standby packet processing cards to determine the order in which the standby cards are used for redundancy support.

Not supported on all platforms


Important

This command results in a migration of processes if the mode specified for the card is different than the current state of the card.

Example

The following commands set the state of a card to active and standby, respectively. 
mode active 
mode standby

shutdown

Configures a card for active service or terminates all processes on the card.

Mode

Exec > Global Configuration > Card Configuration

configure > card card_number

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: 

[local]host_name(config-card- slot_number)#

Syntax

[ no ] shutdown

no

no shutdown enables the card.

Enter only the shutdown keyword to shut the card down.

Usage Guidelines

Shut down a card to remove it from service or to enable a card to put it into service.


Important

Do not use this command to remove a card from service for maintenance. Use the command card halt to remove a card for service to avoid changing or deleting the active-mode configuration. See the Exec Mode chapter.


Important

Not supported on all platforms

Example

The following command shuts down the card: 
shutdown
The following command switches the card to online: 
no shutdown
