heartbeat-address (MX Series Virtual Chassis)
Syntax
heartbeat-address (ip-address | ipv6-address);
Hierarchy Level
[edit virtual-chassis]
Description
Configure an IPv4 address or IPv6 address used
to create an IP-based packet connection, known as a heartbeat
connection, between the primary router and backup router
in an MX Series Virtual Chassis. To ensure consistent access to the
primary Routing Engine in the Virtual Chassis primary router (VC-Pp)
regardless of which Routing Engine is active, you must configure the
address for the management Ethernet interface (fxp0) with
the master-only statement at the [edit groups] hierarchy level.
The heartbeat-address statement and the no-split-detection statement at the [edit virtual-chassis] hierarchy level are mutually exclusive. As a result, the software
prevents you from configuring both heartbeat-address and no-split-detection at the same time. If you attempt to do so,
the software displays an error message and causes the commit operation to fail.
Options
| ip-address | IPv4 |
| ipv6-address | IPv6 |
