Understanding M40e Router Redundant SFM Configuration

You can configure which SFM is the master and which is the backup. By default, the SFM in slot 0 is the master and the SFM in slot 1 is the backup. You can modify the default configuration by including the sfm statement at the [edit chassis redundancy] hierarchy level.
