Command Syntax and Usage | |
---|---|
switch | |
Available only in Switch HA mode. | |
service <service group ID> | |
Available only in Service HA mode. | |
floatip <floating IP address ID> | |
addtrunk <1–12> | |
Adds a manually configured trunk group of ports as a failover trigger, or modifies an existing trunk group. Define the minimum number of ports that must be active. Failover occurs when the number of available ports on the trunk falls below this value. | |
remtrunk | |
Removes a trunk group from the list of failover triggers. | |
addlacp | |
Adds a trunk group of ports that is dynamically configured using the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) as a failover trigger, or modifies an existing LACP group. Define the minimum number of ports that must be active. Failover occurs when the number of available ports on the trunk falls below this value. Note: You cannot configure static ARP entries for static LACP ports. | |
remlacp | |
Removes an LACP group from the list of failover triggers. | |
holdoff <0-255 seconds> | |
Sets the length of time, in seconds, that the primary Alteon waits before forwarding traffic to the default gateway and real servers. Default: 0 | |
faildly <0-255 seconds> | |
When greater than 0, sets the length of time, in seconds, that the primary Alteon waits before advertising the new priority of a device for which the priority has been decreased. In the meantime, Alteon will continue advertising its previous priority. Relevant only when tracking real servers and VIPs. Default: 0 | |
garp <30-600 seconds> | |
Sets the interval, in seconds, between the Gratuitous ARP messages that Alteon sends to the virtual IP addresses (VIPs, PIPs, and floating IPs) associated with the Alteon that becomes inactive when failover occurs. Default: 60 | |
fmac [disabled|enabled] | |
Enables using a floating MAC instead of the Alteon VA physical MAC address for HA. Values: Enable, Disable, or Extended (allows using Floating MAC also for VIP and PIP) Default: disabled | |
bkpviprt [disabled|enabled] | |
Specifies whether a backup Alteon advertises the virtual IP address (virtual server router) routes to a Border Gateway Protocol peer. This option is intended for cases where bi-directional forwarding (BFD) is activated on BGP peers in a multiple-site topology. When BGP failure detection is faster than high availability failover, this option prevents the BGP router from redirecting traffic to another site. The backup Alteon advertises its virtual IP addresses, but does not process network traffic for these VIPS until it changes roles from backup to primary (for example, it does not respond to ARPs until it has become active). The purpose of this advertisement is for BGP purposes only, and does not affect Alteon high availability capabilities. Values: ![]() ![]() Default: disabled Note: The advertised routes (from the primary and backup Alteon) must have the floating IP address configured as the next hop to avoid routing issues on the BGP peer. | |
nwclgarp [disabled|enabled] | |
Specifies whether to send Gratuitous ARP (GARP) messages for all proxy IP addresses in the network class range. Gratuitous ARP packets are used to force a next-hop router to learn an IP and MAC pair. For security reasons, this command can only be used for an IP address belonging to a VIP, PIP, or interface. Default: disabled | |
cur | |
Displays the current high availability configuration. |
