failover (Chassis)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Specify conditions on the primary Routing Engine that cause the backup router to take primary role.

On Junos OS devices this statement enables automatic Routine Engine switchover. To disable automatic failover on Junos OS Evolved devices, delete this statement by entering the delete chassis redundancy failover command.

By default this statement is disabled on Junos OS Evolved, but it may be enabled if you are upgrading an existing configuration from Junos OS to Junos OS Evolved.

Options

Note: All options under the [set chassis redundancy failover] hierarchy are not supported for Junos OS Evolved devices.
disk-read-threshold Read threshold (ms) on disk underperform monitoring (1000..10000).
disk-write-threshold Write threshold (ms) on disk underperform monitoring (1000..10000).
not-on-disk-underperform Prevent Junos OS daemon from initiating failovers in response to slow disks.
on-disk-failure Instruct the backup router to take primary role if it detects hard disk errors on the primary Routing Engine.
on-loss-of-keepalives Failover on loss of keepalives.
on-mcontrol-slip Failover on mastership control thread slip.
on-re-to-fpc-stale

Instruct the backup router to take mastership if the em0 interface fails on the master Routing Engine.

This option is not supported on PTX platforms running Junos OS Evolved. These platforms default to a switchover when disk failure is detected.

The remaining statements are explained separately. Search for a statement in CLI Explorer or click a linked statement in the Syntax section for details.
