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.
