Abstract
Managing processes on a network device is disclosed. A set of processes running on a network device may be monitored and managed by a set of one or more dedicated components. In some embodiments, if a process on a first management processor on a first line card has at least in part failed, the process may be migrated to a second management processor on a second line card. If a request for the migrated process is received, it is directed to the second management processor on the second line card.
