Replacing a Line Card
If you are replacing a line card with a line card of the same type, you may replace the card without any additional
configuration.
If you are replacing a line card with a line card of a different type, remove the card and then remove the existing line
card configuration.
To remove the line card configuration, use the following command.
• Remove the card and then remove the existing line card configuration.
CONFIGURATION mode
no linecard
If you do not, FTOS reports a card mismatch (as shown in the following message) when you insert the new card, and the
installed line card has a card mismatch status.
%RPM0-P:CP %CHMGR-3-CARD_MISMATCH: Mismatch: line card 0 is type E48VB - type
E48TB required
To clear this line card mismatch status, bring the line card online, and specify the type of line card you inserted, use the
linecard command.
