The MPC runs a version of Cisco IOS software that is designed for DSL multiplexing.
At startup, the MPC loads program software and configuration data from NVRAM, from a server on
the network, or from a Flash card in one of its PCMCIA slots. The MPC then provides boot images
to the line cards. After initializing the system, the MPC provides monitoring and control services,
including the CLI (available at the console and via Telnet); SNMP communication with the Cisco
6200 Manager; and critical, major, and minor alarm signals.
