Description
A hardware reset is equivalent to physically removing and reinserting the front card of a card group
and causes the card’s logic to be reset. When you reset the hardware of an active card other than a
controller card (an NPC, NPM, or BCC), a standby card takes over if one is available. A failure reset
clears the card failures associated with the specified slot. If a slot contains a card set, both the front
and back cards are reset.
Do not use the reset command on an active NPC, NPM, or BCC because this causes a temporary
interruption of all traffic while the card is re-booting. (Resetting a controller card does not destroy
configuration information.) Where a redundant NPC, NPM, or BCC is available, the switchcc
command is used to switch the active controller card to standby and the standby controller card to
active. If a standby card is available, resetting an active card (except for a NPC, NPM, or BCC) does
not cause a system failure. H/F Resetting of an active card that has no standby does disrupt service
until the self-test finishes.
