High availability
High availability is currently limited to management module configuration synchronization. Failover
to the standby module will occur in case of active module failure, but the standby module will go
through a cold recovery in which all system components are reset. This will disrupt traffic on the
chassis. The reset could take up to eight minutes depending on chassis configuration and traffic
load.
• Cable management using vertical finger assemblies to accommodate the horizontal
orientation of the blades.
