Disabling and Reenabling IOAs

Disabling an IOA on the E320 router has the same effect as removing that IOA from a slot. A disabled IOA cannot operate, although its configuration remains in NVS. To allow the IOA to operate, you must reenable it.

adapter disable

• Use to disable the IOA in the specified IOA bay.
• You can use this command to disable an IOA so that you can run diagnostic tests on it.
• Issuing this command reboots the line module associated with the IOA, but does not disable the line module. Issue the slot disable command to disable the line module.
• The upper IOA bay of the slot is identified by adapter 0; the lower IOA bay of the slot is identified by adapter 1.
• Example—Disables the IOA residing in the upper bay of slot 5

host1(config)#adapter disable 5/0

• There is no no version.

adapter enable

• Use to enable the IOA in the specified IOA bay.
• Enables you to restart the IOA that was installed in the slot.
• The default is enable.
• Issuing this command reboots the line module associated with the IOA, but does not enable the line module. Issue the slot enable command to enable the line module.
• The upper IOA bay of the slot is identified by adapter 0; the lower IOA bay of the slot is identified by adapter 1.
• Example—Enables the IOA residing in the upper bay of slot 5

host1(config)#adapter enable 5/0

• There is no no version.
