PROVISIONING SMART START
Smart Start is a feature of the MX2820 system that allows a module to be replaced and have
the new module assume the provisioning settings of the old unit.
When a new SCU is inserted into the shelf, the SCU will request the provisioning information
from the module. This ensures that the SCU has a copy of the latest module provisioning
information. This information is updated once per minute.
The SCU in the MX2820 System has the ability to save its provisioning to modules that
support Smart Start. When a module of the same type that was previously in the slot is placed
in that slot, The SCU will transmit the provisioning image of the previous module to the
replacement module. Upon validation of the provisioning image, the module writes the provi-
sioning to flash and begins running with the new configuration. If the transfer fails or the SCU
does not have a valid provisioning image, the module operates using the settings saved in
non-volatile memory.
