redundancy-group (Chassis Cluster)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Define a redundancy group. Except for redundancy group 0, a redundancy group is a logical interface consisting of two physical Ethernet interfaces, one on each chassis. One interface is active, and the other is on standby. When the active interface fails, the standby interface becomes active. The logical interface is called a redundant Ethernet interface (reth).

Redundancy group 0 consists of the two Routing Engines in the chassis cluster and controls which Routing Engine is primary. You must define redundancy group 0 in the chassis cluster configuration.

Options

group-number

Redundancy group identification number.

Note:

The maximum number of redundancy groups is equal to the number of redundant Ethernet interfaces that you configure.

  • Range: 0 through 128

interface-monitor

Specify a redundancy group interface to be monitored for failover and the relative weight of the interface.

ip-monitor

Specify IP address of interface to be monitored for end-to-end connectivity.

gratuitous-arp-count

Number of gratuitous ARPs to send on an active interface after failover

  • Range: 1-16

hold-down-interval

RG failover interval. RG0(300-1800) RG1+(0-1800) (seconds)

  • Range: 0-1800

node

Identify each cluster node in a redundancy group and set its relative priority for primary role.

preempt

Allow preemption of the primary system based on the priority within a redundancy group.
