Appendix F
BN Console Slot Election
The BCC console slot election feature allows you to specify slots eligible to run
the router console interface. From a list of slots that you specify, the software
elects the slot with the greatest amount of available free memory. This feature
helps ensure that the BCC has enough startup and runtime memory to operate.
This feature currently applies only to multislot router platforms (BCN and BLN).
BN routers have only one physical port supporting a directly attached console
device or a modem, the latter for remote access to the console port.
By default, the console slot election routine runs transparently when all eligible
slots are up and running and any of the following events occurs:
•
You press the console Return key at the initial router Login: prompt.
•
The router displays the login Welcome message.
•
You log out, and then log in to the router from the console device.
•
You reboot the router from its console device.
If you log in to a BN router using a Telnet connection, the Technician Interface
and the BCC run only on the slot associated with that inbound Telnet session. The
console slot election feature is inactive.
By default, the console slot election feature is enabled and considers all slots
eligible to run the console interface. However, you can:
•
Customize the selection of slots used by the console slot election routine (see
“Using the BCC to Customize Console Slot Election” on page F-2).
•
Disable or reenable the console slot election routine (see “Disabling and
Reenabling Console Slot Election” on page F-2).
