synchronize
Syntax synchronize {boot-env | config}
Context config>redundancy
Description
This command performs a synrchonization of the standby
CPM’s images and/or config files to the active
CPM. Either the boot-env or config parameter must be specified.
In the config>redundancy context, this command performs an automatically triggered standby
CPM
synchronization. When the standby
CPM takes over operation following a failure or reset of the active
CPM, it is important to ensure that the active and standby CPMs have identical operational parameters.
This includes the saved configuration,
CPM and IOM images.
The active
CPM ensures that the active configuration is maintained on the standby CPM. However, to
ensure smooth operation under all circumstances, runtime images and system initialization configurations
must also be automatically synchronized between the active and standby
CPM.
If synchronization fails, alarms and log messages that indicate the type of error that caused the failure of the
synchronization operation are generated. When the error condition ceases to exist, the alarm is cleared.
Only files stored on the router are synchronized. If a configuration file or image is stored in a location other
than on a local compact flash, the file is not synchronized (for example, storing a configuration file on an
FTP server).
Default enabled
Parameters boot-env — Synchronizes all files required for the boot process (loader, BOF, images, and config).
config — Synchronize only the primary, secondary, and tertiary configuration files.
Default config

Syntax synchronize {boot-env | config}
Context admin>redundancy
Description
This command performs a synrchonization of the standby
CPM’s images and/or config files to the active
CPM. Either the boot-env or config parameter must be specified.
In the admin>redundancy context, this command performs a manually triggered standby
CPM
synchronization. When the standby
CPM takes over operation following a failure or reset of the active
CPM, it is important to ensure that the active and standby CPM have identical operational parameters. This
includes the saved configuration,
CPM and IOM images.
The active
CPM ensures that the active configuration is maintained on the standby CPM. However, to
ensure smooth operation under all circumstances, runtime images and system initialization configurations
must also be automatically synchronized between the active and standby
CPM.
