38. After Removing or Replacing a Module Interface modules in an HP 650 router can be inserted removed or replaced while the router is operating However when one of these actions results in either no replacement for a removed module or replacement with a module having a different set of ports then the software configuration will not match the current hardware configuration This subsection describes how Quick Configuration operates in these conditions and how to use Quick Configuration to update the interface module configuration after removing or replacing a module Quick Configuration reacts to a change in interface modules only when the change takes place before you start Quick Configuration That is if a module change occurs while Quick Configuration is in use the effects of the change will not appear in Quick Configuration until you exit from Quick Configuration and then restart it Rebooting the router causes the router to re initialize itself by using the most recently saved configuration Thus after removing or replacing a interface module rebooting the router does not update the interface module configuration unless you have also used Quick Configuration or the Configuration Editor to update and save the router s configuration uo PIND uo nenG y 3 32 How To Use Quick Configuration Operating Notes Removing a Previously Configured Interface Module Removing a previously configured interface module and subsequ
