Online Insertion and Removal of Cisco Network Modules Procedure
Shutting Down Cisco Unified Messaging Gateway Enhanced Network Modules
Press the SHUTDOWN button on the network module faceplate for less than 2 seconds to perform a
graceful shutdown of the network module before removing power from the router or before starting an
online insertion and removal (OIR) sequence on the router. The application may take up to 2 minutes to
fully shut down.
Caution
If you press the SHUTDOWN button for
more than 4 seconds
, a nongraceful shutdown of the hard disk
will occur and may corrupt files on the network module’s hard disk. After a nongraceful shutdown, the
HD and SYS LEDs remain lit. Press the SHUTDOWN button for
less than 2 seconds
to gracefully reboot
the network module.
Online Insertion and Removal of Cisco Network Modules
Procedure
Some Cisco routers allow you to replace network modules without switching off the router or affecting
the operation of other interfaces. This feature is called
online insertion and removal
(OIR). OIR of a
module provides uninterrupted operation to network users, maintains routing information, and ensures
session preservation.
Caution
Unlike other network modules, Cisco Unified Messaging Gateway enhanced network modules use
hard disks. Online removal of network modules without proper shutdown can cause file system
corruption and might render the disk unusable. You must shut down the operating system on the
network module in an orderly way before removing or powering down the module.
Caution
Cisco routers support OIR with identical modules only. If you remove a module, install in its place
another module exactly like the one you removed. If you remove a 2-slot module (along with any
installed WAN or voice interface cards), install another module and card combination exactly like it.
For descriptions of informational and error messages that may appear on the console during this
procedure, see the hardware installation guide for your router.
To perform online removal of a network module and insertion of a replacement, follow these steps, with
the router in privileged EXEC mode:
Step 1
Initiate a network module session by using the following command:
Router#
service-module integrated-Service-Engine
slot
/
unit
session
Trying 10.10.10.1, 2065 ... Open
SE-Module>
enable
SE-Module#
Step 2
Save the running configuration of the network module by using the following command from the
SE-Module#
prompt:
SE-Module#
copy running-config tftp:
