Supervisor Synchronization

Configuring the Supervisor Modules for Active/Standby Operation

In order to operate in an Active-Standby configuration, the two SPVs must be synchronized.

If the SPVs are not synchronized, one is Active and the other Halted.

In this case you will need to synchronize them manually. See “Synchronizing the Supervisor Modules Manually“ on page 12.

Only in Active-Standby configuration do both SPV fabrics participate in switching/routing

An SPV which was Active stays Active after a chassis reset

One of the SPVs can operate as Standby automatically only if both of the following conditions are fulfilled:

The current chassis is the last one in which you inserted this SPV

The current running SW images are the same version

Synchronizing the Supervisor Modules Manually

If the SPVs are not synchronized, you need to synchronize them manually using the Avaya P460 CLI.

Note: Synchronization can be required for a complete synchronization also if the SPVs are in an Active-Standby configuration. For example, when the SPVs boot with the same SW but from different banks

1Access the CLI. See Chapter 2, “Establishing Switch Access“

2Enter the sync spv command from the Active Supervisor Module.

This command transfers the following information from the Active Supervisor module to the other Supervisor module.
