State of "OTHER" for Standby Sup2 Card in CAT 6500

[astanislaus]

What does the state of "OTHER" on the standby Sup2 card in a CAt6500 mean. Reseating the card did not resolve the issue. Is it possible to connect a console directly onto this standby supervisor card and get any information at all - for example to find if the card is sitting at ROMMON or some such thing.

[Prashanth Krishnappa]

Sure. You can console into the standby Sup(it will be disabled only if the Standby has fully booted and if it in standby).

It might be a good idea to monitor the boot up sequence when you reseat it.
