secondary system controller form a redundant pair. One controller in the pair is active; the other
is stand-by.

Ethernet Settings Page
The ‘Ethernet Settings’ table lists (1) router control cards and (2) NV8500 frame sync input cards
in the MRC network and their associated Ethernet settings.
The table’s ‘Online’ column displays the state of the table entries: (1) the “health” of the control
card or frame sync input card, (2) whether a control card is “virtual” or physical, and (3) whether
the control card’s configuration is locked.
 A “virtual” control card is one that has an entry and a configuration in MRC, but corresponds
to no physical control card. (A virtual control card needs no IP address.)
(See Control Card State Indicators on page 16.)
Physical control cards are identified by IP address. IP addresses must be unique. If any physical
control card duplicates an IP address, MRC displays that address in red and gives a warning at
the bottom of the page. It is in this page that you update IP addresses.
You can make changes simply by clicking a field in the table and editing the field. To execute an
update, you must select control cards by checking the box in the ‘Update’ column and clicking
the ‘Update Settings’ button at the bottom of the page.
Updates of the control cards are performed for the card you checked.
(See Updating an IP Address on page 137.)
