Reverting After a Failover

When you specify the auto-revert keyword with the redundant-port command, the redundant link reverts back to redundant mode when the failed link becomes active again.

The system uses the following process when you issue the auto-revert on and auto-revert off keywords:

auto-revert on

1. An active link fails and a redundant link becomes active.
2. The original active link becomes active.
3. The original redundant link fails over to the original active link.
4. The redundant link can fail over to any other active link again.

auto-revert off

1. An active link fails and a redundant link becomes active.
2. The original active link becomes active.
3. The original redundant link remains the active link.
4. You can force the link to fail over by issuing the redundant-port force-failover command.
