failover window


Specifies a threshold and duration used to guard against continual route controller failovers caused by a pathological condition.

Syntax: failover window [duration durationVal] [threshold thresholdVal]

durationVal

Specifies the time within which the failover threshold must be reached to cause a system reboot. Duration is set in hours, minutes, and seconds delineated by a colon (:). The format is hours:minutes:seconds, e.g. 05:00:00 = 5 hours, 00:01:30 = 1 minute and 30 seconds. 00:30:00 30 minutes. Valid values for: hours = 00-24, minutes = 00-59, seconds = 00-59. Default = 30 minutes

thresholdVal

Specifies the number of failovers that must take place within the time set by duration to cause a system reboot. Valid values = 1 - 5. Default = 3.

Description: If multiple failovers take place within a short period of time it can be symptomatic of a pathological failure that requires a system reset to clear. To guard against pathological failures, the failover window can be configured for a threshold that if reached within a configured duration will cause an automatic system reset.

Use the failover window command in redundancy configuration command mode to set the failover window for this router.

Use the default failover window command in redundancy configuration command mode to reset threshold and duration values to default.

Use the show redundancy verbose command to display failover window values for this Avici router.

Factory Default: Duration = 30 minutes, Threshold = 3 failovers.

Command Mode: Redundancy configuration.

Example 1: The following example configures the failover window for 5 failovers within 1 hour and 30 minutes:

router#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

router(config)#redundancy

router(config-redundancy)#failover window duration 01:30:00 threshold 5

router(config-redundancy)#end

router#show redundancy verbose



Redundancy Characteristics:



Administrative mode: Hot

Operational mode: Hot

Total fail-overs:  0



Fail-over threshold: 5

Fail-over window: 5400 seconds

Fail-overs tracked:  0

Example 2: The following example resets failover window values to default:

router#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

router(config)#redundancy

router(config-redundancy)#default failover window

router(config-redundancy)#end

router#show redundancy verbose
