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. 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. To disable automatic failover on Junos OS Evolved devices, delete this statement by entering the delete chassis redundancy failover command.
The remaining statements are explained separately. See CLI Explorer.
