PurposeCommand or Action
Wait till the first replaced crossbar fabric switching module
is up, follow the same procedure for all the remaining
Step 5
If a Crossbar Fabric-3 Switching Module
migration fails, we recommend that you
continue the migration process with the
remaining other Crossbar Fabric-3 Switching
Modules. Ensure to replace the faulty Crossbar
Fabric-3 Switching Module immediately with
a new one to achieve full line rate bandwidth.
Note
crossbar fabric switching modules. Ensure that the
temperature of the chassis is normal, after each crossbar
fabric module replacement. Use the show environment
temperature command to view the current temperature.
Perform this task sequentially for all the modules (1,2, 3,
4, 5 and 6). Perform Step 1 to Step 4 for the other modules.
The following example lists the sequence to replace the
Crossbar Fabric-1 Switching Modules with the Crossbar
The latest inserted crossbar fabric switching modules will
come up.
