Enabling WAN Reroute after You Have Disabled it
Question How do I enable WAN Reroute to automatically enable an alternate
interface that is on an adapter that has be replaced?
Answer
1 Access the command line interface (* prompt) (see “Accessing the
Operational Diagnostics from the Service Processor” on
page 5-42).
2 Type talk 5 and press Enter twice to reach the + (monitoring)
prompt.
3 Type enable slot
slot#
to start a self-test for each interface on the
adapter
or
type test
interface#
for each interface that you want to
bring up.
If you start a self-test for an alternate interface and the self-test is
successful, the alternate interface will remain up even though it
may not be needed to back-up a primary interface. If this
happens, you can issue the talk 5 disable
interface#
command to
put the alternate interface back into the standby (disabled) state.
The following is a sample:
