The management module controls the hardware components, runs the networking protocols, and provides the Real Time Operating
System (RTOS).

Each router requires one management module, and can accommodate a second module for redundancy. A redundant management
module works in conjunction with the active management module. If the active module becomes unavailable, the redundant
management module automatically takes over the system operation, minimizing system downtime. For information about the
redundancy feature, refer to the "Using a Redundant Management Module" chapter in the

Brocade NetIron Switching Configuration

Guide

Management modules are installed in dedicated slots marked M1 and M2. By default, the module installed in slot M1 is the active
management module.

Management modules are hot-swappable, which means you can remove and replace them without powering down the system.
