Changing a Provisioned Adapter Card Type

To change an adapter card type already provisioned for a specific slot, you must shut down any existing port configurations on the card, delete the adapter card configuration, and provision the new adapter card.

Use the following CLI syntax to change an adapter card type:

CLI Syntax:

port port-id
    shutdown
    exit
card slot-number  //always 1
    mda mda-number
        shutdown
        exit
    no mda mda-number //deletes the adapter card
    mda mda-number
        mda-type mda-type //provisions new adapter card
        no shutdown

The following CLI syntax shows an example of modifying an adapter card.

Example:

config# port 1/1/1 
config>port# shutdown
config>port# exit
config# port 1/1/2 
config>port# shutdown
config>port# exit
config# card 1
config>card# mda 1
config>card>mda# shutdown
config>card>mda# exit
config>card# no mda 1
config>card# mda 1
config>card>mda# mda-type a16-chds1v2
config>card>mda# no shutdown
