Configuring a Boot Configuration Record for the
Passive SCM
Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide

You can configure the individual components of the boot configuration record on
the passive SCM installed in a CSS 11506 chassis. A passive module is a standby
module in case of an active module failure. Use the passive command t o configure
the boot configuration record for the current passive SCM. The boot configuration
record consists of the IP address, subnet mask, boot method, and boot file.
Using the sync options for the passive command, copy the boot configuration
record from the active SCM to the passive SCM. In most CSS configurations, the
active and passive SCMs have the same boot record.
The passive command also allows you to configure the individual components of
the boot configuration record on the passive SCM. For example, you can
configure a boot record on the passive SCM that has a software version that differs
from the active SCM. The boot configuration record allows you to run a new
software version on the active SCM and have an older software version on the
passive SCM.
You can also configure a different IP address on the passive SCM to track an
active-to-passive state transition between the SCMs. You can track
active-to-passive state transitions through a network management station, where
you can receive SNMP host traps.
The passive command and its options affect only the current passive SCM. When
you configure the passive SCM, the set values are loaded in to its NVRAM. If the
passive SCM transitions to the active state, it continues to retain these values, but
is no longer affected by these commands; boot commands are not saved in the
running-config file.
