Redundancy state
is Displays the state of the redundancy group. When the redundancy feature
is disabled, the state is “Disabled.” When enabled, it goes to a “Startup”
state. From “Startup” it goes to a “Discovery” state immediately if the STP
convergence is not enabled. Otherwise, it remains in “Startup” for a period
of 50 seconds (the standard STP convergence time). During the discover
state, the switch exchanges heartbeats and update messages to discover
other members and define the redundancy group license. After discerning
memberships, it moves to an Active state. There is no difference in state
execution for Primary and Standby modes.
AP Licenses in
group Displays the number of Access Ports that can be adopted in the redundancy
group. This value is calculated when a member starts-up, is added, is
deleted or a license changes (downgrade and upgrade.) This value is equal
to the highest license level of its members. It is NOT the sum of the license
level of its members. For information on licensing rules impacting
redundancy group members, see
Redundancy Group License Aggregation Rules on page 5-45 .
