[edit chassis redundancy]

Release Information

Statement introduced before JUNOS Release 7.4.

Description

Instruct the backup router to take mastership if it detects a loss of keepalive signal from the master Routing Engine.

Default

If the failover on-loss-of-keepalives statement at the [edit chassis redundancy] hierarchy level is not included and graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES) is not enabled, failover cannot occur.

When the failover on-loss-of-keepalives statement is included and graceful Routing Engine switchover is not configured, failover occurs after 300 seconds (5 minutes).

When the failover on-loss-of-keepalives statement is included and graceful Routing Engine switchover is configured, the keepalive signal is automatically enabled and the failover time is set to 2 seconds. You cannot manually reset the keepalive time.
