Appendix E Local Management of Cards in a Remote Un-
managed Chassis
This appendix discusses managing the link between an ION Managed Chassis (MC) and an Un-managed
Chassis (UC), and performing remote firmware upgrades.
ION x6210 FW v1.2.6 adds support for management of a C6210 when installed in an unmanaged ION
chassis. Management is supported by another C6210 installed in a managed chassis when the two are
linked together via a fiber cable. FW v1.2.6 also adds support for remote firmware upgrades of a C6210
in an unmanaged chassis.
