Sysname; System-Failure - HP A7500 Series Command Reference Manual

The forwarding proxy is selected in this order: the EB or SD card that is not in normal mode, the SD or
EB card in normal mode, and the SC card. When the forwarding proxy LPU is removed, the switch selects
a new one in this order. If a newly inserted LPU has higher priority than the LPU that is working as the
forwarding proxy, the new LPU takes over.
