IOM cards that are not compatible with more recent chassis modes will be put into an
operationally failed state if the configuration chassis mode “force” option is used.
• Chassis mode A corresponds to iom-20g, chassis mode backwards compatible for iom-
20g-b, iom2-20g, iom3-xp
• Chassis mode B corresponds to iom-20g-b, chassis mode backwards compatible for iom2-
20g, iom3-xp
• Chassis mode C corresponds to iom2-20g, chassis mode backwards compatible for iom3-
xp
• Chassis mode D corresponds to iom3-xp
The force keyword forces an upgrade either from mode a to mode b or d with cards provisioned as
iom-20g or from mode b to mode c with cards provisioned as iom-20g-b.
The ASAP MDA can only be configured if the IOM2-20g and IOM3-XP is provisioned.
Note that, if you are in chassis-mode d and configure an IOM type as iom2-20g and then
downgrade to chassis-mode a or b (must specify force keyword), a warning appears about the
IOM downgrade. In this case, the IOM`s provisioned type will downgrade to iom-20g-b. Once this
is done, the ASAP MDA cannot be configured. The following message appears:
*A:138.120.214.68>config>system# chassis-mode b
MINOR: CHMGR #1009 Mode change requires force - card-type iom2-20g in slot 1 would change
to iom-20g-b *A:138.120.214.68>config>system# chassis-mode b force
MINOR: CHMGR #1010 Can not change mode - mda m1-choc12-as-sfp in 10/1 not supported when
card changes to iom-20g-b
If this is the desired behavior, for example, chassis-mode d is configured and IPv6 is running, you can then
downgrade to chassis-mode a or b if you want to disable IPv6.
