Router Redundancy Requirements
All members of a router redundancy group must
• Be the same router type; for example, BCN
®
, BLN
®
, or ASN™.
• Have the same hardware configuration. This includes CPU and interface
module types, slot and port locations of the backed-up interfaces, and
resources.
• Have the same software configuration. For example, all group members must
be running the same router software version and have the same loadable
modules configured.
• Use exactly the same router redundancy configuration, except for the
member ID.
Using Interface and Router Redundancy in Combination
Use interface redundancy with router redundancy to provide combined protection
from internal router failure and total router failure. The combination of interface
and router redundancy provides better interface protection than is possible using
interface redundancy alone.
You can configure backed-up interfaces within redundant routers, and you can
also configure some interfaces that are not backed up. Interface redundancy allows
data transmission to occur without interruption in the event of a failed interface.
Router redundancy provides the security of uninterrupted network service.
Caution: If you configure interface redundancy across slots with router
redundancy, and the CPU board for the slot with the active interface fails,
router redundancy may take precedence over interface redundancy, even
though there is a member of the interface redundancy group available to
transmit data. The result will be unnecessary delays in data transmission.
