Enabling High Availability Features

Toconfigure RPR and RPR+, use the following commands beginning in privilegedEXEC configuration

mode:

Command Purpose

Step1 Router# configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.

Step2 Router(config)# hw-module slotslot-number image file-spec Specifiesthe image to be used by the active RSP at

initialization.If a high-availability image is found,

the running configuration is updated.

•slot-number—Specifies the active RSP slot

where the Flash memory card or Flash Disk is

located.Valid numbers are slot 2 or slot 3 for a

Cisco7507 router or slot 6 or slot 7 for a Cisco

7513 router.

•file-spec—Indicates the flash device and the

name of the image on the active RSP.

Note Step 2 and Step3 are the same; Step 2

appliesto the active RSP and Step 3 applies

to the standby RSP.

Step3 Router(config)# hw-module slotslot-number image file-spec Specifiesthe image to be used by the standby RSP

at initialization. If a high-availability image is

found, the running configuration is updated.

•slot-number—Specifies the standby RSP slot

where the Flash memory card or Flash Disk is

located.Valid numbers are slot 2 or slot 3 for a

Cisco7507 router or slot 6 or slot 7 for a Cisco

7513 router.

•file-spec—Indicates the Flash device and the

name of the image on the standby RSP.

Note Step 2 and Step3 are the same; Step 2

appliesto the active RSP and Step 3 applies

to the standby RSP.

Step4 Router(config)#redundancy Enters redundancy configuration mode.

Step5 Router(config-red)# mode rpr(Or mode rpr-plus) Sets the redundancy mode to RPR (or RPR+) on

both the active and standby RSPs. HSA is the

default redundancy mode.

Step6 Router(config-red)#exit Exits redundancy configuration mode and returns

you to global configuration mode.

Step7 Router(config)#end Exits global configuration mode and returns you to

privileged EXEC configuration mode.

Step8 Router# hw-module sec-cpu reset Resets and reloads the standby RSP with the

specifiedCisco IOS image and executes the image.

Note Ifyou do not specify a Cisco IOS image in

Step 2, this command loads and executes

the bundled default IOS standby image.

The system then operates in HSA mode.
