Chapter 17 Installing and Removing Line Cards

Configuring a Line Card

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.

After the line card is successfully installed, configure the card for network use. For information about

configuring line cards, including information about preprovisioning the line card slot and resetting the

line card, see the Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuration Guide.

Note It i s not necessary to configure the line card if you perform a replacement installation in the same chassis

slot. The system automatically downloads the necessary configuration information from the PRE.
