Chapter6 Configuring Supervisor Engine Red undancy Using RPR and SSO
Performing a Manual Switchover
Note Configuration changes made to the redundant supervisor engine through SNMP are not synchroniz ed to
the redundant supervisor engine. For information on how to handle this situation, see the “Supervisor
Engine Redundancy Guidelines and Restrictions” section on page 6-7.
Note The auto-sync command controls the synchronization of the config-reg, bootvar, and startup/private
configuration files only. The calendar and VLAN database files are always synchronized when they
change. In SSO mode, the running-config is always synchronized.
This example shows how to reenable the default automatic synchronization feature using the auto-sync
standard command to synchronize the startup-config and config-register configuration of the active
supervisor engine with the redundant supervisor engine. Updates for the boot variables are automati c
and cannot be disabled.
Switch(config)# redundancy
Switch(config-red)# main-cpu
Switch(config-r-mc)# auto-sync standard
Switch(config-r-mc)# end
Switch# copy running-config startup-config
Note To manually synchronize individual elements of the standard auto-sync configuration, disable the default
automatic synchronization feature.
Note When you configure the auto-sync standard, the individual sync options such as no auto-sync
startup-config are ignored.
This example shows how to disable default automatic synchronization and allow only automatic
synchronization of the config-registers of the active supervisor engine to the redundant supervisor
engine, while disallowing synchronization of the startup configuration:
Switch(config)# redundancy
Switch(config-red)# main-cpu
Switch(config-r-mc)# no auto-sync standard
Switch(config-r-mc)# auto-sync config-register
Switch(config-r-mc)# end
Performing a Manual Switchover
This section describes how to perform a manual switchover (from the active supervisor engine to the
redundant supervisor engine) for test purposes. We recommend that you perform a manual switchover
prior to deploying SSO in your production environment.
Note This discussion assumes that SSO has been configured as the redundant mode.
