SwitchKit Name

ResetConfig

Type

API and SwitchKit API message

Description

Reset Configuration 0x000B

This message resets a card’s configuration to the default values by corrupting the battery-backed configuration and initiating a hardware reset on the local processor. To reset the configuration on a CSP Matrix Series 3 Card, all cards must be specified and the force flag must be set.

This message is useful for completely reinitializing the CSP or any component in the CSP. Generally, it should not be used on a live system

For SwitchKit, if you have included ResetConfig messages in your configuration file, the ConfigStage must be set to 10 for a reset to be performed. If the ConfigStage is anything other than 10, the reset is ignored.

AEs 0x01 Slot The location of the line card to be reset (0xFF = all cards in the system)
: | Force Flag 0xFF: Card configuration will be reset even if it has spans in service. All cards in the system will have their configuration reset. If this flag is not set, messages sent to a card with spans in service fail, and the host receives a Response Status of 0x72 (Span In Service).

Notes:

1. When resetting a line card’s configuration, the host must wait for a Card Status Report message on the specified line card before considering its configuration reset.

2. Switchover will occur if all cards in the system are specified and there is a standby CSP Matrix Series 3 Card present.

3. The CSP Matrix Series 3 Card that gains control of the system after you send the Reset Configuration message becomes the active CSP Matrix Series 3 Card. This CSP Matrix Series 3 Card may not necessarily be the on that was active before you sent the message.
