1.10.5 Changing the Administrative State of the Inactive CFC
When both CFC cards are functioning properly, the inactive CFC has an Admin and Operational Status of UP
and data is synched so it can take activity if necessary. However, it is possible to change the state of the inactive
CFC so that normal duplex operation does not take place and the inactive CFC cannot assume activity.
Caution: Data traffic capacity is reduced from 400g to 200G.
You can do this ny disabling the inactive CFC (i.e. DISABLE CARD=5)
The inactive CFC now cannot take over activity, and the card goes through the following changes:
• Admin State - DOWN, since the CFC is now disabled.
• Operational State - DOWN, since the Operational State follows the Admin State.
• STATUS - OFFLINE, since the card is disabled and is no longer synching with the active CFC.
Note: The Admin State and Op State of the active CFC will always be UP.
When the inactive CFC is disabled, data sync is no longer occurring between the two CFCs. To bring the inac-
tive (and disabled) CFC back into service and have it receive the data stored on the active CFC so it can take
over the shelf, enable the card. (This can be done by entering ENABLE CARD INACTCFC or pressing the reset
button on the inactive CFC.)
The inactive CFC now reboots, and goes through the following steps before it can return to normal operation
for traffic load sharing and redundancy protection (Admin and Operational States are UP).
1. Status sequence - This is the most important attribute, and it is a sequence that shows the progress of data
sync with the active CFC. During data sync, the status is Initializing, and the Admin State and Operational
