Selecting a Card SCT
Note
When MPSM cards are installed on the switch, the addred command will fail if there are not
enough licenses on the secondary card (1:N redundant configurations) or in the license pool to
match the licenses already in use on the primary card. For example, if the primary card is
configured to use the ABR rate control feature, and if the configuration of other primary cards
has not already added a ABR rate control license to the secondary card, the secondary card will
require an ABR rate control license from the license pool. If no license is available, the addred
command fails.
Step 5
To verify that the redundancy relationship is established, enter the dspred command as shown in the
following example:
pop20two.7.PXM.a >
dspred
pop20two System Rev: 02.01 Feb. 06, 2001 11:24:53 PST
MGX8850 Node Alarm: NONE
Primary Primary Primary Secondary Secondary Secondary Redundancy
SlotNum Type State SlotNum Type State Type
------- ------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----------
1 AXSM Active 2 AXSM Standby 1-1
7 PXM45 Active 8 PXM45 Standby 1-1
15 SRM-3T3 Empty Res 16 SRM-3T3 Empty Resvd 1-1
31 SRM-3T3 Empty Res 32 SRM-3T3 Empty Resvd 1-1
The secondary state for the card in the secondary slot changes to Standby only when the secondary card
is ready to take over as active card. After you enter the addred command, the switch resets the secondary
card. When you first view the redundancy status, the state may be Empty Resvd or Init. The secondary
card may require one or two minutes to transition to standby.
Note
The dspcds command also shows the redundancy relationship between two cards.
For information on managing redundant cards, see the “
” section in
Chapter 9, “Switch Operating Procedures.”
Selecting a Card SCT
A Service Class Template (SCT) is a configuration file that defines the traffic characteristics of the
various class of service queues in AXSM and FRSM12 service modules. The same card SCT may be
used for multiple cards of the same card type.
Note
An SCT must be registered before you can select it for a card or port. For instructions on registering
SCTs, see
