Configuring Interface and Router Redundancy
3-4 114079 Rev. B
Table 3-1 demonstrates what happens when you configure interface redundancy
across slots when you are using router and interface redundancy together.
Note that you can prevent the second role change by configuring the Automatic
Role Switching parameter to Switch on Failure or One Shot Auto (refer to
Chapter 5).
Compatibility
For Release 11.01/5.01, we have simplified the procedure for configuring router
redundancy, and reduced to under 3 seconds the amount of time required for
routers to switch in and out of the primary role. Because of these changes, when
you install Software Version 11.01/5.01, you must completely reconfigure router
redundancy.
Table 3-1. Using Interface Redundancy across Slots with Router Redundancy
Router A Router B
Router A is in the primary role for router
redundancy. It also has the active interface in
the interface redundancy group.
Router B is in the secondary role.
The CPU board for the active interface fails.
Router A detects that it is no longer the best
primary router, so Router A changes its role to
secondary.
Router B is the new best primary router, and it
assumes the primary role.
Meanwhile, a redundant interface from the
interface redundancy group has become active,
with the result that Router A is again the best
primary router in the router redundancy group.
Router B recognizes that it is no longer the best
primary router and changes out of the primary
role.
Router A assumes the primary role. Router B is in the secondary role.
Data is moving again.
