Caution
The control and Ethernet line cards do not forward network traffic for
a minimum of two minutes while they initialize their management
software and configure their parameter settings. Some network
traffic may be lost.
If the chassis has two control cards, pressing the Reset button on
the active master card resets the control card, but not the Ethernet
line cards. The inactive master control card immediately becomes
the new active master card and the Ethernet line cards continue to
forward traffic. The reset control card is unavailable for about two
minutes while it initializes its management software, after which it
becomes the inactive master card in the chassis.
Note
The available bandwidth across the backplane of the chassis is
reduced from 400 to 200 Gbps for about two minutes while the reset
control card initializes its management software. This may reduce
network performance.
If you want the active and inactive master control cards to
exchange roles without having to reset the active card, use the
SWAP ACTIVITY command in the management software. Refer to
the Software Reference for SwitchBlade x3100 Series Switches for
information.
If the chassis has two control cards, pressing the Reset button on
the inactive master control card resets that card, but not the active
master control card or the Ethernet line cards.
Note
The available bandwidth across the backplane of the chassis is
reduced from 400 to 200 Gbps for about two minutes while the
inactive master control card initializes its management software and
synchronizes its database with the active master control card. This
may reduce network performance.
Note
To reset individual line cards in the chassis, use the RESTART
CARD command in the management software.
