site-activation-timer
Syntax site-activation-timer seconds
no site-activation-timer
Context config>redundancy>bgp-multi-homing
Description
This command defines the amount of time the service manager will keep the local sites in standby status,
waiting for BGP updates from remote PEs before running the DF election algorithm to decide whether the
site should be unblocked. The timer is started when one of the following events occurs if the site is
operationally up:
• Manual site activation using the no shutdown command at site-id level or at member object(s) level
(SAP(s) or PW(s))
• Site activation after a failure
Default
no site-activation-timer
Parameters
seconds — Specifies the standby status in seconds.
Values
1 — 100
Default
2
synchronize
Syntax synchronize { boot-env | config }
Context config>redundancy
Description
This command performs a synrchonization of the standby
CPM
s images and/or config files to the active
CPM
. Either the boot-env or config parameter must be specified.
In the config>redundancy context, this command performs an automatically triggered standby
CPM
synchronization. When the standby
CPM
takes over operation following a failure or reset of the active
CPM
, it is important to ensure that the active and standby
CPM
s have identical operational parameters.
This includes the saved configuration,
CPM
and XCM images. The active
CPM
ensures that the active
configuration is maintained on the standby
CPM
. However, to ensure smooth operation under all
circumstances, runtime images and system initialization configurations must also be automatically
synchronized between the active and standby
CPM
If synchronization fails, alarms and log messages that
indicate the type of error that caused the failure of the synchronization operation are generated. When the
error condition ceases to exist, the alarm is cleared.
Only files stored on the router are synchronized. If a configuration file or image is stored in a location other
than on a local compact flash, the file is not synchronized (for example, storing a configuration file on an
FTP server).
Default enabled
Parameters boot-env — Synchronizes all files required for the boot process (loader, BOF, images, and config).
