When the active CPM goes offline

When an active CPM goes offline (because of reboot, removal, or failure), the standby CPM takes control without rebooting or initializing itself. It is assumed that the CPMs are synchronized, therefore, there is no delay in operability. When the CPM that went offline boots and then comes back online, it becomes the standby CPM.

When the standby CPM comes online, the following output is shown:

Active CPM in Slot A has stopped
Slot B is now active CPM
