Configuring a Stateful Switchover (SSO)
To configure SSO, use the following commands beginning in privileged EXEC configuration mode:
Command
Purpose
Step 1
Router# configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
Router(config)# hw-module slot slot-number image file-spec
Specifies the image to be used by the active RSP at
initialization. If a high-availability image is found,
the running configuration is updated.
•
slot-number—Specifies the active RSP slot
where the Flash memory card or Flash Disk is
located. Valid numbers are slot 2 or slot 3 for
a Cisco 7507 router or slot 6 or slot 7 for a
Cisco 7513 router.
•
file-spec—Indicates the Flash device and the
name of the image on the active RSP.
Note
Step 2 and Step 3 are the same; Step 2
applies to the active RSP and Step 3
applies to the standby RSP.
Note
The image indicated by the file-spec
attribute must be available on the local
Flash device. Remote protocols such a
TFTP and remote copy are not available.
