Configuring Interface and Router Redundancy
5-10 114079 Rev. B
Parameter: Automatic Role Switching
Default: Auto
Options: Manual
| Auto | Switch on Failure | One Shot Auto
Function: Auto enables automatic role switching out of the primary role when a
router detects that it is no longer the best primary router, based on priority
settings among the redundant routers. When the primary router switches
out of the primary role, a backup router switches into the primary role.
Anything else that backup router has been doing stops when it becomes
primary.
In some circumstances, you may not want the backup router to stop
processing automatically. If that is the case, set this parameter to Manual.
The warning section of the log will indicate when the routers should
change roles.
Switch on Failure allows a role change only when an interface on the
primary router fails, or a resource becomes unreachable, and does not
consider Priority or Member ID.
One Shot Auto triggers a one-time only automatic role change. Thereafter
a role change occurs only if an interface fails or a resource becomes
unreachable.
Instructions: Accept the default, Auto, or choose one of the other options according to
the requirements of your network.
MIB Object ID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.17.1.11
Parameter: Hello Timer
Default: 2 seconds
Options: 1 to 86,400 seconds
Function: Specifies the amount of time that the routers in the redundancy group
have for sending each other primary and secondary Hello PDUs. The
routers use Hello PDUs to initiate the bidding process that determines
which router is primary.
Instructions: Enter a value in the specified range or accept the default of 2.
