Layer 3 hitless route purge
Layer 3 traffic is forwarded seamlessly during a failover, switchover, or OS upgrade when hitless
management is enabled.
Some protocols support non-stop routing. On enabling non-stop routing, after switchover the
management module quickly re-converge the protocol database. Whereas, some protocols support
graceful restart, in which the protocol state is re-established with the help of neighboring devices. Once
all the protocols converge the routes which were removed from the network during the convergence
period, the routes are deleted from the devices. You can set the route purge timer per VRF instance.
Configure the timer to set the duration for which the routes should be preserved after switchover. Once
this period elapses, the route purging starts, if by then all other protocols have finished non-stop routing
or graceful restart.
When switchover occurs, the route purge timer starts. If non-stop routing or graceful restart is also
configured, the route validation and purging starts only when they are complete and the purge timer has
elapsed. If for some reason more delay is expected in learning the routes, you can configure a larger
period for the purge timer.
Setting the IPv4 hitless purge timer on the defatult VRF
To configure the purge timer, enter the
ip hitless-route-purge-timer
command in global configuration
mode.
Example for setting IPv4 hitless purge timer on the default VRF
The following example shows how to set the IPv4 hitless purge timer on the default VRF:
Brocade(config)# ip hitless-route-purge-timer 60
Setting the IPv4 hitless purge timer on the non-default VRF
1. Enter the VRF configuration mode using the
vrf
command.
2. Configure route distinguisher using the
rd
command.
3. Enter IPv4 address family configuration mode using the
address-family ipv4
command.
4. Configure the router purge timer using the
ip hitless-route-purge-timer
command.
