Chapter 17 Installing and Removing Line Cards

Preprovisioning Line Card Slots

Before you install a line card, you might want to preprovision the line card slot.

Preprovisioning a line card slot downloads software to the line card slot for the line card you are planning

to install. Preprovisioning allows you to prepare in advance a complete configuration for the line card,

including items you normally need to configure after initially configuring the line card, such as PVCs

under an ATM line card or VLANs under an Ethernet line card.

Resetting a line card reloads line card software without having to manually insert and remove the line

card.

See the Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuration Guide for more information on

preprovisioning line card slots and resetting line card slots.
