The Cisco uBR7200 series and Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband routers support online insertion and removal (OIR) of cable interface line cards, but have different requirements. The following sections describe this support for each of the platforms.
Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest feature information and caveats, see the release notes for your platform and software release. To find information about the features documented in this module, and to see a list of the releases in which each feature is supported, see the Feature Information Table at the end of this document.
Use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about platform support and Cisco software image support. To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to http://tools.cisco.com/ITDIT/CFN/. An account on http://www.cisco.com/ is not required.
Technically, the Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers support true online insertion and removal (OIR), or hot swapping, of cable interface line cards only when exchanging cable interface line cards of the exact same type (for example, exchanging a Cisco uBR-MC28U card for another Cisco uBR-MC28U card). Under these conditions, no reload of the router is required.
Note | When you OIR different types of cable interface line cards (for example, a Cisco uBR-MC16U card replaced by a Cisco uBR-MC16X card, or Cisco uBR-MC16U card replaced by a Cisco uBR-MC28U card), you not only might have to reconfigure the interfaces, we recommend that you reload the router. |
For detailed OIR procedure information, see the product hardware installation guide available on Cisco.com.
To perform an OIR of cable interface line cards on the Cisco uBR10012 router, do the following steps:
