Install, Remove, and Replace the Network Module
Hot Swapping
Caution
Note
Starting with FXOS 2.3.1, the Firepower 10-Gb and 40-Gb network modules (without hardware bypass
support) support hot swapping, but you must hot swap with an identical network module, that is, a network
module with the same PID. See
network module offline using the appropriate CLI commands before removing the network module from
the chassis so that all network module configuration is saved. See the "Taking a Network Module Offline
or Online" topic in the Security Module/Engine Management chapter in the
Chassis Manager Configuration
We do not recommend that you remove the network module without bringing it properly offline using
the appropriate CLI commands.
You must have ROMMON 1.0.10 or later on the Supervisor to support hot swapping. For the ROMMON
upgrade procedure, see the "Firmware Upgrade" topic in the Image Management chapter in the
FXOS Firepower Chassis Manager Configuration Guide
To remove and replace the network modules that do not currently support hot swapping, power off the
chassis, replace the network module, and then power the chassis back on.
Acknowledgment is necessary if you decommission and physically remove a network module and do
not replace it, or if you replace it with another PID. See the "Acknowledging a Security Module/Engine"
Product ID Numbers
for the network module PIDs. You must bring the
Guide.
