Router Compact Flash Memory Cards
Introduction
This guide describes how to install the Cisco Connected Grid 10-Port Ethernet Switch Module Interface Card (switch module) in the Cisco 2010 Connected Grid Router, and how to configure the switch module.
Note
The Cisco CGR 2010 router must be running Cisco IOS Release 15.1(4)M or higher to run the switch module.
This guide also describes how to access the switch module from the host router, disconnect from the switch module session, how to connect devices to the switch module ports, and includes management options, port and module connection procedures, and Express Setup troubleshooting.
For additional software configuration information for the switch module, see the Cisco Connected Grid Ethernet Switch Module Interface Card Software Configuration Guide on Cisco.com.
For system requirements, important notes, limitations, open and resolved bugs, and last-minute documentation updates, see the Release Notes on Cisco.com. For translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, see the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for Cisco Connected Grid Router 2000 Series Routers on Cisco.com.
When using the online publications, see the documents that match the Cisco IOS software version running on the switch module.

Switch Models
The Connected Grid 10-Port Ethernet Switch Module Interface Card enables high-availability substation automation architectures as well as support for Ethernet connectivity in space-constrained substations.
For its initial release, the switch module offers two models, as summarized on the following pages.

Note
PLATFORM-4-SFP_REVISION_WARNING: Interface <interface> has an obsolete SFP module that is not recommended for this product.
This is a software warning that occurs when detecting an older version of SFP module GLC-FE-100FX-RGD, which has been replaced with an updated version (Rev. 2).
The recommended action is to replace this SFP module with the latest Cisco certified version of this SFP. The switch module requires Rev. 2 or higher of this SFP for optimum operation over the entire operating temperature range. To check the VID for the revision number, use the show inventory command.

Router Compact Flash Memory Cards
Compact flash cards can help you configure new or replacement routers, and to recover the configuration of a failed router. For example, if the Connected Grid Swap Drive feature is enabled, you can transfer the same system configuration information from one router to another by using a compact flash memory card (or compact flash card) while the routers are operating. This is done by inserting an optional compact flash card in slot CF1 and copying all contents of CF0. After the copy operation is completed, you can remove and insert this compact flash card unit in slot CF0 of either a new router or a replacement router for a failed unit. When the new or replacement router is rebooted, it uses the configuration from the compact flash card as the running and startup configuration. This functionality enables you to quickly configure new or replacement routers with a standard configuration with little or no manual configuration required.
For more information on the Swap Drive feature, see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/connectedgrid/cgr2010/software/15_2_2_t/cgr2010_15_2_2_t_swcg.html#wp2039791
The router supports a maximum of two compact flash memory cards. The router ships with one compact flash card installed in Slot CF0 and supports a second, optional flash card that you can order with the router or supply separately.
Figure 3 illustrates the location of the compact flash card slots on the router.
