Online Insertion and Removal
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router modular line cards (MLCs) and modular port adapters (MPAs) support online
insertion and removal (OIR). Modular port adapters (MPAs) can be inserted or removed independently from
the MLC. OIR of a MLC with installed modular port adapters (MPAs) is also supported.
Cisco IOS XR Software 6.6.1 and later releases support online insertion and removal (OIR) of Cisco NCS
5500 series modular port adapters (MPAs).
Caution
Cisco NCS 5500 series modular port adapters (MPAs) support online insertion and removal (OIR).
Modular port adapters (MPAs) support the following types of OIR:
• Soft OIR
Soft OIR uses the IOS XR hw-module subslot rack/slot/subslot reload, hw-module subslot
rack/slot/subslot shutdown, and no hw-module subslot rack/slot/subslot shutdown commands to
complete online insertion and removal. Refer to the Hardware Redundancy and Node Administration
Commands chapter of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router System Management
Command Reference for command syntax.
• Managed OIR
A managed online insertion and removal of Modular port adapters (MPAs) is comprised of the following
steps:
• Shut down the MPA with the hw-module subslot rack/slot/subslot shutdown command.
• Confirm that the LEDs have gone from green to off.
