[c-nsp] Faulty Card

[Matlock, Kenneth L]

Heh, 99% certain the config won't port over.

A 16 port ESW card has the config in the router section. 24/36/48 port
switches are managed as a completely different chassis, sharing
basically power, and a single 1gb backplane connection.

And like Justin says, it's a huge 'it depends' on a large number of
factors....

Without knowing the specifics, the answer is "it depends".  I say that
because it does legitimately depend on many variables:
1. The model number of the old card
2. The model number of the replacement card and its
hardware/software/firmware version 3. Your chassis type 4. The IOS
version you're running

That's possible but I wouldn't count on it.  Have a backup of the config
for the ports that you want to preserve handy.
