Using Redundant Control Modules Initial Configuration
4.9.2 Communicating with the Backup Control Module
There are two ways to establish communication with the backup CM: through the backup CM’s console port or through
a telnet session from the primary CM to the backup CM using the keyword
backup-cm
. For Instance, the following
example shows a telnet session from the primary CM to the backup CM.
Notice in the example above that the prompt displays a dollar sign (
$
). This indicates that the display belongs to the
backup CM. The dollar sign also appears if you connect to the backup CM through its console port.
When connected to the backup CM (either through telnet or the console) you are provided with only a sub-set of the
commands available on the primary CM.
