mode


Sets the administrative redundancy mode for this Avici router.

Syntax: mode {hot | warm | cold}

Description: There are three types of redundancy: NSR®, Warm, and No redundancy. Operational redundancy for all route controllers in the router is determined by the operational mode of the primary. A route controller will operate in the same mode as the primary regardless of the administrative mode configured.

NSR® redundancy provides hitless routing protocol fail-over as well as hitless software upgrade. Warm redundancy provides a non-hitless backup route controller failover to the active route controller. Cold redundancy applies to a single route controller system configuration where no redundancy is possible or if redundancy is not desired.

Use the mode hot command to configure route controllers for NSR® redundancy on this Avici router.

Use the mode warm command to configure route controllers for warm redundancy on this Avici router.

Use the mode cold command to configure a single route controller with no backup or to disable redundancy on a multi-route controller Avici router.

Use the show redundancy command to display the redundancy mode for this Avici router.

Factory Default: Warm.

Command Mode: Redundancy configuration.

Example 1: The following example sets redundancy to hot for this Avici router:

router#configure terminal

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

router(config)#redundancy

router(config-redundancy)#mode hot

router(config-redundancy)#end

router#show redundancy
