A reload command is executed. Which statement reflects the resulting action?

• A. Chassis Management Module Admin (CMM A) reboots and remains primary
• B. Chassis Management Module Admin (CMM A) is rebooted and fails over to Chassis Management Module Baseline (CMMB)
• C. Chassis Management Module Baseline (CMMB) reboots and takes over
• D. Both CMM A and CMM B reboot and fail over to CMMB

Answer: (B)

The main concept being tested is how redundant chassis management handles a restart of the active module. In a dual-CMM setup, one module runs as the primary and actively manages the system, while the other acts as a standby baseline ready to take over if the active one fails or restarts. When you issue a reload on the active Chassis Management Module, it reboots, and during that downtime the system performs a failover to the standby Baseline module, which becomes the new primary. This is why the correct statement describes the active CMM rebooting and the baseline CMM taking over. The other scenarios would require the standby to reboot too or would imply both modules go down simultaneously, which isn’t how a single reload operates.
