and RSP1 is the slot on right. These slots are configured for redundancy by default, and the redundancy cannot
be eliminated. To establish RSP redundancy, install RSPs into both slots.

Determining the Active RP in a Redundant Pair
During system startup, one RSP in each redundant pair becomes the active RSP. You can tell which RSP is
the active RSP in the following ways:
•
The active RSP can be identified by the green Primary LED on the faceplate of the card. The active RSP
is indicated when the Primary LED is on. The alphanumeric LED display on the RSP displays ACTV
RP.
•
The slot of the active RSP is indicated in the CLI prompt. For example:
RP/0/RSP1/CPU0:router#
In this example, the prompt indicates that you are communicating with the active RSP in slot RSP1. See
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Getting Started Guide for a complete description
of the CLI prompt.
