[cisco-voip] shutdown required to install vic3-fxs-e/did card into 3945?

[Jason Aarons (US)]

In the past hot insertion/removal wasn’t supported but I’ve pulled stuff lots of times without a crash (but don’t try/test it in a live production environment).  I’ve tried hot insert of VWIC2-2FXO in to a 3800 running 12.4.XT last year.  Nothing smoked but until a reload the show diag didn’t see the VWIC2-2FXO.

I’ve seen removing line cards from 8500/6500s stall the switching bus causing a outage.  I recommend you assume the worst and do stuff after hours relating to insertion/removal.

I've tried searching CCO but can't find anything that says I can or can't install a vic3 module live on the router while it's up.

Shutting down a router with a CUE engine in it is a drag.

Comments?
