[c-nsp] FWSM module replacement

[Brett Clausenhauf]

Hi Guys,


Shortly I need to replace a FWSM module in a 6500. It is paired with another
FWSM module which is now the active module.

Looking at this below url it seems to be a straight forward process to
replace the module & to get the configuration sync'ed.

One thing is not clear though. The module that died is usually the primary
module, whilst the current active module is in standby..  If I issue the
command "Failover" in step 5 after I define the replacement module with all
the basic failover variables including the unique variable of  *fail lan
unit Primary will this cause it to override the configuration in the
currently active FWSM with that of the newly installed FWSM?   I presume
not, although I am not 100 percent sure here.*
