following functions: system powerup and boot control, centralized routing table management,
system-wide connection management, and interface to an external Network Management Station.

Only one SCM is required in a configuration, however you can install and configure a second SCM for
redundancy in a CSS 11506. A secondary SCM is passive, and does not load share processing functions
with the primary module. If the primary SCM fails, the CSS reboots and connections are terminated.
Then the secondary SCM becomes primary automatically.
