Topology-Related Parameters

Status of the SCE 1000AfterAbnormal Boot

This parameter determines whether the SCE 1000 returns to normal operational state after a reboot caused by fatal error or abnormal shutdown. In general, it is desirable that the SCE 1000 resume operation, and as promptly as possible. However, in a redundant topology, a recovered SCE 1000 may remain non-operational. In this case the platform that had been the backup and is currently active will remain active.

The two options for this parameter are:

•Operational — The status of the SCE 1000 after abnormal boot is operational. The platform automatically resumes functioning in the defined operational link bypass mode.

•Not Operational — The status of the SCE 1000 after abnormal boot is not operational. The platform remains in the defined failure link bypass mode.

This option is to be used only in a redundant topology where a second, operational platform exists.

Note Default value = Operational for all non-redundant systems.

Must be explicitly configured for redundant topologies.

*Italicized values represent automatically applied defaults that are applied based on previously defined parameters. These values can be changed only via specific CLI commands.

[1]: In a redundant topology, it is also possible to configure admin status after abnormal boot to be Not operational. In this case, though, the SCE 1000 would have to be manually reloaded in order to resume full functionality.
