MDA hot swap
Avaya VSP 7000 Series Release 10.3 supports hot swapping some of the Media Dependent
Adapter (MDA) modules. This means that you can insert or remove an MDA while the unit is
operating. You can also swap one MDA type for another without the need to reset the switch or
issue a command after insertion. For example, you can hot remove a 7008XLS-MDA and then hot
insert a 7008XT-MDA. Previous releases supported MDA warm swap only.
The mda command controls the administrative status of the MDA card: enabled or disabled. By
default, MDA ports are enabled.
Important:
You can only hot swap MDAs, with the same port speed and count.
Hot removal
Hot removal of an MDA is allowed, and does not cause a reboot or unexpected operations within the
switch or stack.
Before you hot remove an MDA, Avaya recommends you use the no mda enable command to
stop forwarding traffic to the MDA ports. This action reduces the occurrence of traffic loss when the
MDA is removed. Otherwise, if the MDA is hot removed, then any traffic queued to the MDA ports is
lost.
Hot insertion
Hot insertion of an MDA is allowed, and does not interrupt traffic within the switch or stack.
After hot inserting an MDA, the switch can access and use the MDA without needing to be reset. If
the MDA status is enabled, no commands are required.
After hot inserting an MDA, the switch can access and use the MDA without needing to be reset
when an MDA with a similar port count and speed is installed. If the MDA status is enabled, no
commands are required. A reset is required when a dissimilar MDA is hot inserted, for example,
replacing a 7008XLS-MDA with a 7002QQ-MDA .
