ATTENTION

Restore a CFG image to a new unit happens only if the following conditions are met.

The AUR feature is enabled.

There is at least one INACTIVE CFG mirror image in the stack.

The MAC Address of the new unit is different from all the AMA of the INACTIVE CFG mirror images in the stack.

The image restore process consists of the following steps:

Step Action

1Adding a new unit to a stack

2The INACTIVE CFG mirror image in the stack is sent to the new unit. The INACTIVE CFG mirror image becomes ACTIVE.

3The new unit saves the received CFG image to its flash.

4The new unit resets itself.

—End—

For example, if a unit 5 (MAC Address 5) is added to the stack shown in Figure 18 "CFG mirror images in the stack after removing the BU (unit 1)" (page 59), the following occurs (see Figure 19 "CFG mirror images in the stack after adding unit 5" (page 61)):

The INACTIVE CFG 1 mirror image is copied to the CFG 5 image. Unit 5 now has the configuration of unit 1 that is no longer in the stack.

The INACTIVE CFG 1 mirror image in unit 2 becomes ACTIVE.

The INACTIVE CFG 1 mirror image in unit 3 is removed.

The MAC Address 5 of the unit 5 becomes the new AMA of the CFG 1 mirror image.
