Synchronization and Redundancy
7950 SR-Series routers supporting redundancy use a 1:1 redundancy scheme. Redundancy
methods facilitate system synchronization between the active and standby Control Processor
Modules (CPMs) so they maintain identical operational parameters to prevent inconsistencies in
the event of a CPM failure.
When automatic system synchronization is enabled for an entity, any save or delete file operations
configured on the primary, secondary or tertiary choices on the active CPM file system are
mirrored in the standby CPM file system.
Although software configurations and images can be copied or downloaded from remote locations,
synchronization can only occur locally between compact flash drives (cf1:, cf2:, and cf3:).
Synchronization can occur either:
•
Automatically — Automatic synchronization is disabled by default. To enable automatic
synchronization, the
config>redundancy>synchronization
command must be specified
with either the
boot-env
parameter or the
config
parameter.
When the
boot-env
parameter is specified, the BOF, boot.ldr, config, and image files are
automatically synchronized. When the
config
parameter is specified, only the config
files are automatically synchronized.
Automatic synchronization also occurs whenever the BOF is modified and when an
admin>save
command is entered with no filename specified.
•
Manually — To execute synchronization manually, the
admin>redundancy>
synchronization
command must be entered with the
boot-env
parameter or the
config
parameter.
When the
boot-env
parameter is specified, the BOF, boot.ldr, config, and image files are
synchronized. When the
config
parameter is specified, only the config files are
synchronized.
The following shows the output displayed during a manual synchronization of
configuration files.
