[c-nsp] Question on 7204vxr modules

[Steven Pfister]

We have a 7204vxr currently in use as our border router. As part of a transition of our upstream bandwidth from an ATM connection to gigabit Ethernet, we need to replace some of the modules.

The router currently has a PA-A6-OC3MM module connecting to our service provider (in the lower right slot). The IO controller has 2 FE/E ports (don't have the part number). We want to replace the IO controller with a c7200-I/O-GE+E and the other module with a PA-GE. Our questions are:

- As a first step, we're going to replace the I/O controller with the new one using a FE GBIC, and put the PA-GE in along with the PA-A6-OC3MM until its time to cut over to gigabit Ethernet. Is there any restrictions on where we can put the PA-GE during this time? Can it be any slot?
- Where is the configuration stored? Is it on the flash card? When we put the new IO controller in, can we just move the flash card over?

Thanks!
