MSFC Configuration Synchronization Overview
MSFC high availability allows for automatic synchronization of the startup configuration and running
configuration between the designated MSFC (the MSFC to come online first or the MSFC that has been
online the longest) and the nondesignated MSFC. High-availability redundancy is disabled by default.
Caution
Configuration synchronization is only supported for the IP and IPX configurations. Before enabling
synchronization, you must ensure that both MSFCs have identical configurations for all protocols. If you
are using AppleTalk, DECnet, VINES, or any other routing, you must manually ensure that identical
configurations are on both MSFCs for all protocols.
