Step 4
Copy the Cisco IOS Release 12.1(8a)E2 or later image to the bootflash of the designated router and
nondesignated router.
Step 5
Set the boot image and configuration register on the designated router and nondesignated router to boot
the new image on a reload:
For the designated router, enter
boot system flash bootflash:
image_name
and ensure that this image is
the first in the boot list. Clear any existing “'boot system” commands that appear in the running
configuration (
show running-config
) using the
no
form of the
boot system
command.
For the nondesignated router, set the configuration register to auto boot by entering
config-register 0x102
.
Step 6
Enter the
reload
command to reload the designated router and nondesignated router.
Note
If you already have SRM-capable Cisco IOS images loaded, you do not need to perform
Step
6
.
Step 7
Disable configuration synchronization (
config-sync
) on the designated router using the
no
form of the
command. Enter the
write memory
command. This lets you have access to configuration mode on both
designated and nondesignated routers.
Step 8
Enable SRM on the designated router first, and then enable SRM on the nondesignated router as follows:
Router(config)#
redundancy
Router(config-r)#
high-availability
Router(config-r-ha)#
single-router-mode
Step 9
Enter the
write memory
command on the designated router to ensure that the nondesignated router’s
start-up configuration has SRM enabled.
Step 10
Enter the
show startup-config
command on the nondesignated router to ensure that the nondesignated
router has the following configuration statements:
redundancy
high-availability
single-router-mode
Step 11
Enter the
show redundancy
command on the designated router and nondesignated router to ensure that
both have the following configuration statement:
Single Router Mode RuntimeStatus: enabled
If not, repeat Steps 9 and 10 allowing sufficient time between steps.
Step 12
Enter the
reload
command to reload the nondesignated router. When asked whether the configuration
should be saved, enter
no
.
This display summarizes the above configuration commands used on the designated router and
nondesignated router to enable SRM redundancy:
Time Designated Router Nondesignated Router

t1: conf t->red->hi->no config-sync
t2: conf t->red->hi->single-router-mode

t4: write mem
t5: reload
