ABSTRACT:
The method and system for reprogramming instructions for a switch includes programming a redirection memory to associate a routing parameter set in a routing memory for the switch with a first line card. The routing parameter set includes a plurality of routing parameters to be provided to the switch to service the first line card. In response to an event initiating activation of a second line card in place of the first line card, the redirection memory is reprogrammed to associate the routing parameters set in the routing memory with the second line card.
