Replace a line card

If you are replacing a line card with a line card of the same type, you may replace the card without any

additional configuration.

If you are replacing a line card with a line card of a different type, remove the card and then remove the

existing line card configuration using the command

no linecard. If you do not, FTOS reports a card

mismatch (Message 6) when you insert the new card, and the installed line card has a card mismatch status.

To clear this line card mismatch status and bring the line card online, specify the type of line card you

inserted using the command

linecard, as shown in the following example.

%RPM0-P:CP %CHMGR-5-CARDDETECTED: Line card 0 present

%RPM0-P:CP %CHMGR-3-CARD_MISMATCH: Mismatch: line card 0 is type E48VB - type E48TB
