I no longer trust "Hot Swappable". Now Cisco said that Network Modules are hot swappable on a 3662. Just to make sure, I asked 2 different peoples. I need to install a WIC into the Network Modules. I pull out the Network Modules, install the WIC. The router was fine until I insert the Network Modules back into the router. The router was SO nice to reboot itself for me. If the router is only carry data, no one outside of the network department may had know. NO, this router also carry voice traffic. Guess what, I cut off the President of the company. For me, there is no longer anything as "hot swappable". Power everything down then insert/remove anything.
