Re: [c-nsp] WS-6500-SFM insertion into production box, much of an impact?

For those interested I put the SFM's in last night without a hitch, in fact it didn't even drop a packet(1s ping intervals) it just did the usual OIR Bus pause and one packet went up to 1600ms then everything went back to normal except packets were now using the new crossbar fabric(no reboot requir

Thanks for all the replies, personally i'm thinking it will be a few second hiccup like you often get with OIR then on its way again but the fact i'm changing how the underlying switch fabric works with this makes it more interesting... i've scheduled an outage for this Sunday evening so I will let

Thanks Rubens, i'm aware of the line card requirements to operate in full compact mode, my question i'm really interested in is during the insertion of the module is there any dropped packets while the cards move from a Bus switching mode to compact switching. On Mon, Feb 9, 2009 at 12:06 PM, Rube

Remember that full SFM usage requires all modules to be fabric-enabled. If there are any line cards that aren't fabric enabled, all traffic will still go thru the bus, doesn't matter if it is an OIR or from power-up. Your question is if this OIR stands for Online Insertion and Removal or for Onlin

Howdy, I'm looking for some info on the insertion of a SFM into a live 6500(Sup2 obviously), can't seem to find any info on Cisco as to the consequences this may have to traffic flowing through the Bus at the time(ie dropped packet rates), and I want to know if the modules go from using Bus only ba
