4.372 inh-imt

The interprocessor message transport bus (IMT bus) is the main communications artery between all subsystems in the system. This command removes the IMT bus from service.

Caution:

Use this command only when directed by the Customer Care Center.

Parameters

bus (mandatory)

IMT bus to be inhibited

Range:

a, b

force (optional)

This parameter forces inhibition of a specified bus where an IMT Rate change sequence is in progress.

Range:

yes

no

Default:

no

Example

inh-imt:bus=a

inh-imt:bus=a:force=yes

Dependencies

Valid IMT bus entries are "A" or "B".

The alternate IMT bus must be in-service normal (IS-NR) in order for the specified bus to be inhibited.

This command cannot be entered during an IMT Fault Isolation Test or an Extended Bit Error Rate Test (BERT).

The force=yes parameter must be specified to inhibit a bus where an IMT Rate Change sequence is in progress.

If an IMT Rate Change sequence is in progress on the alternate bus, then this command cannot be entered.

Notes

Cards not connected to the other IMT bus will reinitialize.

All traffic is rerouted to the alternate IMT bus.

The function of this command is the same as the rmv-imt command.

Output

inh-imt:bus=a
