The backup RSP in a 75xx is not a hot standby. It is partially booted, and
must continue the boot process to take over the chassis. This does result
in all of the line cards resetting. After which point the secondary RSP can
re-establish the various line protocols, and IGP/EGP routing processes and
peers.

Hi all,

  Under failure of the master RSP on a 75xx,
  is it normal to have the slave RSP booting
  just like another router and not take over
  immediately ???
  I was on the impression that it was there
  in hot standby just ready to switch over !!!
