Changing the Configuration after Enabling Unit Redundancy
(CLI)
To keep the standby unit up-to-date, after any change to the configuration of the active unit you must enter a
copy-to-mate command to copy the configuration to the standby unit.
If you change the configuration of the Active unit but do not perform a copy-to-mate command, a Configuration
Mismatch alarm is raised.
To display a list of mismatched parameters, enter the following command in root view:
root> platform management protection show mismatch details
The following items must be configured separately for the Standby unit, and are not copied via copy-to-mate:
•
Setting the Unit Name – See Configuring Unit Parameters (CLI) .
•
Disabling/enabling Radio TX mute – See Unmuting a Radio (CLI) .
•
Clearing the Radio and RMON counters – See Configuring and Viewing Radio PMs and Statistics (CLI) and
Viewing Ethernet PMs and Statistics (CLI) .
•
Configuring the activation key – See Configuring the Activation Key (CLI) .
For instructions on performing configuration directly on the standby unit, see Running Commands in the Standby
Unit (CLI)
.
When configuring MRMC scripts after enabling unit redundancy, it should be done in the following order. It is
important to use this order because if the changes are not performed in the correct order, the connection to the
remote units will be lost:
1. Change the MRMC script on the standby unit of the remote pair.
2. Change the MRMC script on the active unit of the remote pair. This will cause the local-remote link to be
lost.
3. Change the MRMC script on the active unit of the local pair. When the unit reboots, the local-remote link
will be restored.
4. Perform copy-to-mate on the active unit of the local pair.
Running Commands in the Standby Unit (CLI)
You can run CLI commands in the standby unit.
To run CLI commands in the standby unit:
1. Use the following command to enter view context for the standby unit:
root> switch-to mate
mate/root>
2. Enter the specific CLI command you want to run in mate/root context.
3. To switch back to the active unit, enter the following command:
mate/root> switch-to local
root>
