3.7 CIOM-A FIM Redundancy Functionality
About CIOM-A FIM redundancy
If you have redundancy compliant hardware, you can implement redundant Series A FIM
operation through a Redundant Chassis Pair (RCP). A RCP consists of two chassis that
include identical redundancy compliant modules in matching slot positions within their
given chassis. The following figure shows a typical hardware configuration for a RCP
that includes a C200 Control Processor Module (CPM). The RCP does not need CPMs to
support FIM redundancy. It does need one pair of Redundancy Modules (RMs) though.
