Installing Redundant CMs into an Active Matrix X Router

Features

supports Access Control Lists (ACLs) and, by default, is associated with the VPN Routing/ Forwarding (VRF) instance that all interfaces are assigned to. Be aware of the following caveats, however, when using this interface:

IGP and EGP routing protocols do not export routes

Bridging is not supported

The Console port is considered the primary CLI interface, and is useful for reading startup and diagnostic messages, event logging, and many other tasks.

The CM supports up to 18 Telnet or SSH sessions which may be built on any module interface. Refer to the Matrix X Router Configuration Guide for more information.

Installing Redundant CMs into an Active Matrix X Router

Caution: Do not remove an active CM that is in the process of synchronizing with a standby CM. This can potentially cause loss of the system's startup configuration.

Precaución: No quite el CM activo que esté en el proceso de sincronizar con un CM redundante. Esto puede causar una pérdida de la configuración del arranque de sistema.

To ensure redundant CM installation in an active system is performed correctly, perform the following steps:

1.Verify that the active CM is up by entering the show system hardware command. For example, if the active CM is in slot 1, the following output (partial) will display:

matrix-x(switch-su)-> show system hardware cm 1

CM SLOT 1

 

Model:

CM Version 1.0

State:

Active

...

 

2.Back up your existing configuration with the show config outfile command. For example, to copy the file Feb25.cfg you created that contains the current running configuration on your system, type the following:

matrix-x(switch-su)-> show config outfile public/Feb25.cfg

The configuration is saved in the file Feb25.cfg in the public/ directory on both the active and standby CMs.

3.Optionally, copy the file you just created to the local/ directory on both the active and standby CMs. The local/ directory is a non‐replicated backup area that can be used to store files that you want to keep during a firmware upgrade or downgrade, since an upgrade or downgrade may wipe out the public directory.

matrix-x(switch-su)-> copy public/feb25.cfg local/Feb25.cfg matrix-x(switch-su)-> copy public/feb25.cfg standby:local/feb25.cfg

4.Copy the backup configuration file to a remote location using the copy command. For example, to copy the Feb25.cfg file to a remote site using FTP, type the following:

matrix-x(switch-su)-> copy public/Feb25.cfg ftp://usergina@10.10.10.10/ scripts/Feb25.cfg
