6. Mahi me te Whirihoranga

Once installed, the Cisco A9K-MOD200-TR line card becomes an integral part of the ASR 9000 router. Its operation is managed through the router's operating system, Cisco IOS XR.

• Whakaara Tuatahi: The router will detect the new line card during boot-up or when inserted (if hot-swappable).
• Whirihoranga: All configuration of the 200G Ethernet interfaces on the line card is performed via the router's Command-Line Interface (CLI) or a network management system. This includes setting IP addresses, routing protocols, VLANs, and other network parameters.
• Aroturuki: Use CLI commands or network monitoring tools to check the status, performance, and traffic statistics of the line card's interfaces.

Refer to the Cisco IOS XR documentation for detailed configuration guides specific to your router model and software version.

7. Tiaki

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your line card:

• Te horoi: Periodically inspect the line card and router chassis for dust accumulation. Use compressed air to gently clean vents and surfaces. Ensure the router is powered off before cleaning.
• Whakahōu Firmware: Keep the router's IOS XR software and line card firmware updated to the latest stable versions recommended by Cisco. Refer to Cisco's official website for update procedures and files.
• Mana Taiao: Maintain the operating environment within specified temperature and humidity ranges to prevent hardware degradation.

8. Te Raru

If you encounter issues with the line card, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Tirohia te nohoanga: Ensure the line card is fully and securely seated in its slot. Re-seat if necessary (after powering off the chassis).
• Nga LED Tūnga: Observe the status LEDs on the line card. Consult the router's documentation for the meaning of different LED states (e.g., amber for fault, green for operational).
• Console Messages: Connect to the router's console port and check for any error messages or diagnostic output related to the line card.
• Hononga taura: Verify that all network cables are correctly connected and not damaged.
• Whirihoranga Pūmanawa: Review the router's configuration to ensure the interfaces on the line card are correctly configured and enabled.
