 Note:
z When the S6506R starts, it will take about 3 minutes from the slave board is on to
you can see the system prompt. During the 3 minutes, the slave board has no any
action and reaction to the user’s operation if the user login the slave board. The
case is natural phenomenon caused by system protective design for avoiding
switching shake.
z You cannot execute any command on the slave board until the slave board
switches over to the master.
z The master board will batch backup the configuration to slave board as soon as
the system is up, which is a quick action. During this action, the system will give
prompt both master board and slave board if you press the “enter” key on the
terminal, and you cannot execute any command on the master board. After the
batch backup, the master board will do the real-time backup to the slave and you
can execute all commands on the master board.
