Checking status with the Rearslot command
The
rearslot
command shows the status of all the slots used for LPMs, PSMs, and
CLT modules. It also reports on the status of the midplane redundancy bus. Slots that
are equipped with IRMs or LPM-Rs are reported as
Empty
by the
rearslot
command.
Note
When a copper loop is being tested on a Stinger LS unit with a PSM or a CLT
module, the
rearslot
command does not display any midplane sparing bus usage.
For example, suppose that a Stinger FS is equipped with ADSL LIMs and SDSL LIMs.
The ADSL 24-port LIM in slot 1 has failed and is being replaced by the ADSL 24-port
LIM in slot 14. The
rearslot
command reports the following information.

Configuring LIM port redundancy
LIM port redundancy allows an individual port of a LIM to be backed up by the
corresponding port of a spare LIM. The LIM to be backed up (the primary LIM) must
be of the same type as the spare. The remaining ports on the spare LIM remain
available to back up other failed ports on any LIMs of the same type in the system.
sparing-state
State of the redundancy function. If redundancy is
not enabled,
sparing-none
is the value. If
redundancy is enabled and the LIM slot is a primary
LIM, the value can be
primary-active
or
primary-inactive
. If redundancy is enabled and the
LIM slot is the secondary (spare) LIM, the value can
be
secondary-active
or
secondary-inactive
. A
value of
not-applicable
indicates that LIM
redundancy is not applicable to this module.
