Inserting a Management Module

Without Configuration Control

• Modules in an unmanaged chassis use DIP Switch settings. When the

Management Module is inserted, the modules use the configuration stored
in the Management Module. This will more then likely change the
configuration of the modules, and will cause a short interruption in data
flowing through the modules.

With Configuration Control

• The modules copy their configuration up to the Management Module. The

modules keep working, with no configuration change and no interruption in
data.

Removing a Management Module / Failed Management Module

Without Configuration Control

• Modules previously configured by the Management Module will revert back

to their DIP Switch settings. This will more than likely change the
configuration, based on default settings and will cause an interruption in
data flow.

With Configuration Control

• The modules continue to use whatever configuration they were set to. They

maintain a local copy of the configuration.

• The SNMP Write Lock switch does not impact any of the iMcV-Modules

with Configuration Control.

• If there is a mixture of iMcV-Modules with and without Configuration

Control, the Write Lock Switch and a new Management Module must be
taken into consideration.

• If the command cleandb is applied to a Management Module, all the

settings for the modules it maintains will be removed, but the Configuration
Control modules will still be based on the last change made, while those
without Configuration Control will be set to their default settings.

* iMcV-Modules will be referred to as modules
