Automatic Synchronization
Use the CLI syntax displayed below to configure synchronization components relating to active-
to-standby CPM switchover. In redundant systems, synchronization ensures that the active and
standby CPMs have identical operational parameters, including the active configuration, CPM,
and IOM images in the event of a failure or reset of the active CPM.
The
force-switchover command forces a switchover to the standby CPM card.
To enable automatic synchronization, either the
boot-env parameter or the config parameter
must be specified. The synchronization occurs when the
admin save or bof save commands
are executed.
When the
boot-env parameter of the synchronize command is specified, the BOF, boot.ldr,
config, and image files are automatically synchronized. When the
config parameter is specified,
only the configuration files are automatically synchronized.
Synchronization also occurs whenever the BOF is modified and when an
admin>save command
is entered with no filename specified.
Boot-Env Option
The boot-env option enables a synchronization of all the files used in system initialization.
When configuring the system to perform this synchronization, the following occurs:
1. The BOF used during system initialization is copied to the same compact flash on the
standby CPM (in redundant systems).
Note: The synchronization parameters on the standby CPM are preserved.
2. The primary, secondary, and tertiary images, (provided they are locally stored on the active
CPM) are copied to the same compact flash on the standby CPM.
3. The primary, secondary, and tertiary configuration files, (provided they are locally stored on
the active CPM) are copied to the same compact flash on the standby CPM.
Config Option
The config option synchronizes configuration files by copying the files specified in the active
CPM BOF file to the same compact flash on the standby CPM.
