Configuring Data Processing Card (DPC) Availability
As discussed in the Understanding the System Boot Process section of Understanding System Operation and
Configuration, when the system initially boots up, all installed DPCs and or UDPCs are placed into standby mode. You
must activate some of these cards in order to configure and use them for session processing. One DPC/UDPC may
remain in standby mode for redundancy.
Configuration, when the system initially boots up, all installed DPCs and or UDPCs are placed into standby mode. You
must activate some of these cards in order to configure and use them for session processing. One DPC/UDPC may
remain in standby mode for redundancy.
This section describes how to activate DPCs and specify their redundancy.
Important:
Refer to the ASR 5500 Installation Guide for information about system hardware configurations and
redundancy.
Enter the following command to check the operational status of all DPCs:
show card table
This command lists the DPCs installed in the system by their slot number, their operational status, and whether or not
the card is a single point of failure (SPOF).
the card is a single point of failure (SPOF).
Use the following example to configure DPC/UDPC availability:
configure
card slot#
mode { active | standby }
end
Notes:
When activating cards, remember to keep at least one DPC/UDPC in standby mode for redundancy.
Repeat for every other DPC/UDPC in the chassis that you wish to activate.
Save the configuration as described in the Verifying and Saving Your Configuration chapter.
Verifying Card Configurations
Verify that the configuration was successful. Enter the following command:
show card table
Any DPC/UDPC that you made active should now have an operational status of Active.
