Standby Line Card Configure 0x0023

This message allows the host in a redundant system to configure a line card as a standby card. Only line cards that have Standby IO cards behind them can be designated as standby line cards. A Card Status Report message first informs the host which line card has a Standby I/O installed. The host must assign a line card as a standby before a switchover can occur.
