Pre-configure a line card slot
You may also pre-configure an empty line card slot with a logical line card using the command linecard
from CONFIGURATION mode. After creating the logical line card, you can configure the interfaces on
the line card as if it is present, as shown in the example below.
FTOS(conf)#do show linecard 0
-- Line card 0 --
Status : not present
FTOS(conf)#int gig 0/0
^
% Error: No card configured in slot at "^" marker.
FTOS(conf)#linecard 0 E48VB
FTOS(conf)#do show linecard 0
-- Line card 0 --
Status : not present
Required Type : E48VB - 48-port GE 10/100/1000Base-T line card with RJ45 interfaces and PoE (CB)
FTOS(conf)#int gig 0/0
FTOS(conf-if-gi-0/0)#
Replace a line card
If you are replacing a line card with a line card of the same type, you may replace the card without any
additional configuration.
If you are replacing a line card with a line card of a different type, remove the card and then remove the
existing line card configuration using the command
no linecard. If you do not, FTOS reports a card
mismatch (Message 6) when you insert the new card, and the installed line card has a card mismatch status.
To clear this line card mismatch status and bring the line card online, specify the type of line card you
inserted using the command
linecard, as shown in the example below.
%RPM0-P:CP %CHMGR-5-CARDDETECTED: Line card 0 present
%RPM0-P:CP %CHMGR-3-CARD_MISMATCH: Mismatch: line card 0 is type E48VB - type E48TB required
