Monitoring High Availability

This section shows how to use the show commands to view your high availability configuration and how to clear the high availability switchover history for the router.

High Availability show Commands

You can monitor various aspects of high availability using show commands. These aspects include redundancy modes and status, redundancy clients, historical information about redundancy on the router, and specific redundancy information for line modules and SRPs.

show ip interface
show ipv6 interface

Use to display the initial sequence preference values as well as other information relating to the current state of all IP or IPv6 interfaces or the IP or IPv6 interfaces you specify.
Field descriptions relating to redundancy. These fields are displayed when the brief keyword is not issued.
- Operational initial sequence preference—Actual initial sequence preference as determined by the combination of the protocol configured on the interface and the CLI configuration on the interface; the value is 0 (low priority) or 1 (high priority)
- Administrative—Configured initial sequence preference specified with the ip initial-sequence-preference command or the iipv6 initial-sequence-preference command; the value is 0 (low priority) or 1 (high priority)

Example 1—Displays a summary of the redundancy status of an ERX-14xx model

host1#show ip interface atm 2/0.1

ATM2/0.10 line protocol Atm1483 is up, ip is up
...
Warm-restart initial-sequence-preference: Operational = 1 Administrative = 1
...

There is no no version.

show redundancy

Use to display the supported redundancy modes and other status relating to high availability. In particular, the output indicates any conditions that are preventing high availability from operating.
Field descriptions
- SRP
  - high-availability state—State of the high availability mode (disabled, active, or pending)
  - current redundancy mode—Redundancy mode currently being used by this router (high-availability or file-system-synchronization)
  - last activation type—Last type of activation that occurred on this router (that is, the method by which the SRP last booted [cold-start or warm-start])
- Criteria Required for High Availability to be Active—criteria required for high availability to be active.
  
  Note: All criteria must be “ yes” for high availability to be active.
- Line Card
  - automatic reverting—State of automatic reverting (on or off)
  - slot(s)—Slots in which the line modules reside
  - hardware role—Function of the line module: primary or spare
  - lockout config—Status of redundancy on this line module (protected—line module redundancy is enabled; locked out—line module redundancy is disabled)
  - backed up by slot—Slot that contains the line module that is a spare for this primary line module
  - sparing for slot—Slot that contains the primary line module for which this line module is a spare
  - revert at—Time at which you want line module to revert
  - midplane type—Identifier for the type of midplane
  - midplane rev—Hardware revision number of the redundancy midplane
  - fabric slice redundancy—Status of the fabric slice on the SRP modules or SFMs on the E120 and E320 routers
  - slot—Slot in which the fabric slice resides
  - slice state—State of the fabric slice (online, not present)
  - type—Identifier for the type of hardware (SRP module or SFM)

show redundancy clients

Use to display high availability clients and their various levels of high availability support.

Note: Issuing this command without the optional client type results in showing only unsupported high availability clients (the default).
Field descriptions
- client—High availability client
- mode—Whether the client is supported or unsupported for high availability
configuration—Safety level of the configuration based on whether or not the client is supported or unsupported and, in the case of those unsupported, whether or not the client has been configured (for example, if an unsupported client is configured on a router with high availability enabled, the configuration would read “ unsafe” )
