Context config
Description This mandatory command is the first step in activating the IOM software: designating it a slot
position in the chassis. On the 7705 SAR, the slot number is always 1. The IOM software
must be activated before the adapter cards and ports can be configured. The no form of this
command removes the card from the configuration. All associated ports, services, and
adapter cards must be shut down.
Default n/a
Parameters slot-number — the slot number of the card in the chassis
Values 1
card-type
Syntax card-type card-type
no card-type
Context config>card
Description This mandatory command is the second step in activating the IOM software: designating the
card type. The card type can be preprovisioned, meaning that the card does not need to be
installed in the chassis. On the 7705 SAR, the card type is always iom-sar.
A card must be provisioned (configured) before an adapter card or port can be configured.
A card can only be provisioned in a slot that is vacant, which means that no other card can
be provisioned for that particular slot. To reconfigure a slot position, use the no form of this
command to remove the current information. Port and adapter card information must be shut
down.
A card can only be provisioned in a slot if the card type is allowed in the slot. An error
message is generated if an attempt is made to provision a card type that is not allowed.
The no form of this command removes the card from the configuration. This operation
requires that the card be administratively shut down. All dependencies to ports on this card
must be shut down and removed from the configuration before issuing the no card-type
command.
