ExtremeWare 7.7 Command Reference Guide 1513
configure msm-failover esrp-failover-mode
configure msm-failover esrp-failover-mode [none | rapid-reelection |
remain-esrp-master-in-l2-domains {<reelect-timeout>}]
Description
Configures the desired operation of hitless failover when ESRP is in use.
Syntax Description
For more information about ESRP and ESRP tracking, see the ExtremeWare Software User Guide .
Example
The following command configures the switch to send a notification that the standby nodes should elect
a new master as soon as possible:
configure msm-failover esrp-failover-mode rapid-reelection
History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare 7.1.1.
Platform Availability
This command is available on BlackDiamond switches only.
none Specifies that ESRP does not participate in hitless failover. The master switch
blocks its ports during a failover and performs a full initialization of ESRP. This
is the default.
rapid-reelection Specifies that ESRP behaves as if
none
was selected. In addition, if a failover
occurs when the switch is the master in an ESRP domain, the switch sends a
notification that the standby nodes should elect a new master as soon as
possible. This facilitates a faster ESRP master reelection than
none
.
remain-esrp-master-in-l2-domains Specifies that an ESRP master notifies the standby nodes of the failover and
wishes to remain the master. Along with the notification, it sends the amount
of time in seconds that the standby nodes should wait before beginning
reelection.
reelect-timeout Specifies the amount of time the standby nodes should wait before beginning
reelection. The default is 30 seconds, and the range is 15 - 180 seconds.
