Configuring Interface and Router Redundancy
B-2 114079 Rev. B
Possible Scenarios
The sections below describe possible scenarios and how they would affect the
redundant routers.
Secondary Router Degraded
Degradation of the secondary router’s interface and ability to reach resources does
not affect the current operation of the primary router. This change does affect the
primary and best-secondary selection process because the degraded secondary
router has a lesser chance to become primary.
Secondary Router Becomes Inoperable
Degradation of the secondary router to the extent that it is inoperable does not
affect the operation of the primary router. However, if the primary router detects
local faults, it must remain primary and continue data transfer as best it can.
Primary Router Degraded
If the degree of degradation in the primary router is so slight that it is still the best
primary router, no change occurs.
If the degradation is such that the current primary router is no longer the best
primary, role switch to a new primary may occur, depending on the availability of
a secondary router, and on how you have set the Automatic Role Switching
parameter. The primary and best-secondary selection process is the same as
during initial bootup.
Primary Router Fails
The sudden failure of the primary router causes the best secondary router to
switch roles to primary. Because the primary and best-secondary selection process
is performed continuously and involves all members of the router redundancy
group, no bidding process need occur at this time, and the switch occurs with
minimal delay.
