Configure PNNI Election—configure a rank and other parameters for electing a peer group leader.
The cnfpnni-election command lets you specify the priority of a node for the purpose of electing a peer
group leader (PGL). By using this ranking, you can promote or prevent certain nodes for consideration
for election as PGL.
Note For a single-peer group, this command has no application.
In a multi-peer group environment, each pee r group can elect one PGL. Such an electio n takes place for
every level of the hierarchy. (For example, if three levels ex is t , t hr ee P G L e lec tio n s o ccu r.) To ensure
that a node cannot win the PGL election, you can assign 0 for the priority.
Every node in a peer group runs the election algorithm—with one exception: a node with the
Non-Transit for PGL E;ection F lag s e t.
In addition to the priority, cnfpnni-election lets you specify the:
•Number of seconds that the node delays advertising its choice of preferred PGL
•Number of seconds that the node waits to be declared the preferred PGL by unanimous agreement
among its peer group members
•Number of seconds th at t he no de w ai ts be f or e it r es t ar ts th e e l ec ti o n o f a n ew P GL af ter co nne ctivity
to the current PGL is lost
