Recording Critical Switch Information
Back up the switch configuration before replacing a CP card.
To record critical switch information, follow these steps:
1.
Create a serial connection to the healthy CP card:
a.
Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation
(such as synchronization programs).
b.
Connect a serial cable to the terminal serial port (10101 Console Port).
c.
Connect the other end of the serial cable to a serial port on the
workstation. If necessary, the adapter on the serial cable can be removed
to allow for a serial RJ45 connection.
