Configuring Data Processing Card 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 DPC/UDPCsor DPC2/UDPC2s 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 or DPC2/UDPC2 may remain in standby mode for redundancy.

This section describes how to activate DPC/UDPCs or DPC2/UDPC2s 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 DPC types:
show card table
This command lists the DPC types installed in the system by their slot number, their operational status, and whether or
not the card is a single point of failure (SPOF).
not the card is a single point of failure (SPOF).
Use the following example to configure DPC/UDPC or DPC2/UDPC2 availability:
configure
card slot#
mode { active | standby }
end
Notes:
When activating cards, remember to keep at least one DPC/UDPC or DPC2/UDPC2 in standby mode for
redundancy.
Repeat for every other DPC/UDPC or DPC2/UDPC2 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 or DPC2/UDPC2 that you made active should now have an operational status of Active.
