Feature Information for 1:1 Supervisor Card Redundancy

Prerequisites for 1:1 Supervisor Card Redundancy

The Supervisor cards should be installed in the Cisco RFGW-10 chassis in slots 1 and 2.

Both Supervisor cards in the chassis should be SUP-V/10-Gigabit Ethernet cards and use the same Cisco IOS software image.

Restrictions for 1:1 Supervisor Card Redundancy

If SSO mode of Supervisor redundancy is configured and the Cisco IOS images on both the Supervisor cards is not the same, then the Supervisor switches to RPR redundancy mode.

Information About 1:1 Supervisor Card Redundancy

This section describes the types of high availability, supervisor redundancy, and the need and cause for a Supervisor switchover on the Cisco RFGW-10:

Supervisor Redundancy

Route Processor Redundancy

Stateful Switchover

Accessing the Standby Supervisor Card

Supervisor Redundancy SSO Support on Cisco RFGW-10

Supervisor Uplink Configuration

Forcing a Switchover Between Active and Standby Supervisor

Supervisor Redundancy

The Cisco RFGW-10 supports two redundant Supervisor cards—one active card and one standby card. In a switchover, the standby Supervisor card takes over the active Supervisor card. Running the Supervisor card in RPR or SSO operating mode enables Supervisor redundancy.

Need for Supervisor Redundancy

In a switchover scenario, if the active Supervisor card fails and the standby card takes over or a manual switchover is performed, the standby Supervisor card becomes the active Supervisor. The standby Supervisor card is automatically initialized with the startup configuration of the active Supervisor card, thus shortening the switchover time.

The switchover time for a Supervisor card in RPR mode could vary from 30 seconds or longer depending on the configuration. The switchover time for a Supervisor card in SSO mode is less than 1 second.

In addition to the minimal switchover time, Supervisor redundancy supports:

Online Insertion and Removal (OIR) of the standby Supervisor card—OIR is usually performed for maintenance. When the standby Supervisor card is inserted, the active Supervisor card detects it. The standby Supervisor boots partially initialized in an RPR mode and fully initialized in the SSO mode

Software Upgrade


Tip While performing a software upgrade, load the new image on the standby Supervisor card. This minimizes the switchover downtime on the Supervisor card.


Causes for Supervisor Switchover

Some of the possible causes that can trigger a switchover from the active Supervisor card to the standby Supervisor card are:

A software crash or hardware failure or fault on the active Supervisor card

Standby Supervisor card detects failed active Supervisor card

Reloading the active Supervisor card by executing the reload command—forcing manual switchover

Hot swapping or OIR of the active Supervisor card

Lack of response of the active Supervisor card to the polls or the heartbeat maintained between the active and standby Supervisor card

A hardware diagnostic failure is detected

Route Processor Redundancy

In Route Processor Redundancy (RPR) mode, the standby Supervisor card completes its initialization but suspends just before parsing the startup-config. The standby Supervisor card monitors the active Supervisor card, and switches over when it detects a failure on the active Supervisor card. When the standby Supervisor card becomes active, the TCC cards and all the line cards in the chassis are reset, and the startup-config is parsed. There is a traffic outage in this mode because the line cards are reset.

The switchover time of the active Supervisor card can be 30 seconds or more depending on the configuration.

The following are synchronized between the active and the standby Supervisor cards:

Startup system configuration

Boot variable

Configuration register

Calendar

VLAN database

The following are not synchronized between the active and standby Supervisor cards:

State configuration

Running configuration

Routing tables and forwarding shortcuts

MAC address table

Dynamic protocols such as DHCP

Switchover

The standby Supervisor card loads a Cisco IOS software image at startup and initializes itself in standby mode. In the event of a switchover, the standby Supervisor card reinitializes itself as the active Supervisor card, reloads all the line cards, and restarts the system. Because all line cards are reloaded, adjacent routers detect the physical link failure for most types of point-to-point connections. The standby Supervisor card parses the complete configuration, completes the booting sequence, resets the modules to perform self diagnostics, waits for the modules to come online and builds routing tables, MAC address tables, and dynamic protocols.

Stateful Switchover

In Stateful Switchover (SSO) mode, the standby Supervisor card is fully initialized and configured. This allows SSO to shorten the switchover time if the active Supervisor card fails, or if a manual switchover is performed. Both the startup and running configurations are continually synchronized from the active to the standby Supervisor cards, and the line cards are not reset during a switchover. The interfaces remain up during this transfer, so neighboring routers do not detect a physical link flap (the link does not go down and come back up).

The line cards, Layer 2 protocols, and application state information are synchronized and the standby Supervisor card is in a "hot" standby ready state to take over immediately. As the standby Supervisor card recognizes the hardware link status of every link, ports that were previously active remain active after a switchover has taken place.

The following are synchronized between the active and the standby Supervisor cards:

Startup and running configuration

Platform state information such as interface state, heartbeat state, and line card redundancy state

Application state information

Layer 2 feature configurations

The following are not synchronized between the active and the standby Supervisor cards:

All Layer 3 protocols including OSPF

Boot image

Multicast PIM and IGMP precools

L2VPNv3

Switchover

In the event of a switchover, the standby Supervisor card becomes the active Supervisor card. As the standby Supervisor card is continuously synchronized with the startup and running configuration, switchover downtime is minimal. The state information synchronization (often called "checkpointing") from the active Supervisor card to the standby Supervisor card occurs at normal run time. At the switchover, the newly active Supervisor card immediately uses the state information previously synchronized (checkpointed).

The line cards are not reset as part of the switchover. The Supervisor card reconciles the line card state information with its own state information on switchover. SSO-aware features or protocols such as DHCP protocols are check pointed during switchover. Non-SSO aware features or protocols such as OSPF, BGP, Multicast PIM and IGMP, and L2VPNv3 protocols are quickly available on the standby as the standby Supervisor card is completely initialized.

Benefits of SSO

SSO provides a faster switchover compared to Route Processor Redundancy (RPR) by fully initializing and configuring the standby Supervisor card. By using check pointed state information, the time required for routing protocols to converge is minimized. As protocol information, application information, and user session information are maintained during the switchover, improved network availability is provided and line cards continuously forward network traffic with no loss of sessions.

Accessing the Standby Supervisor Card

The following activities can be performed on the standby Supervisor card.

Commands
Description

dir slavebootflash: or dir slaveslot0:

Lists the contents of the standby bootflash: device or slot0.

delete slavebootflash:<filename> or delete slaveslot0:<filename>

Deletes a specific filename from the standby devices.

squeeze slavebootflash: or squueze slaveslot0:

Performs the squeeze function.

format slavebootflash: or format slaveslot0:

Formats the standby devices.

copy <source> slavebootflash: or copy <source> slaveslot0:

Copies files to standby devices.


Supervisor Redundancy SSO Support on Cisco RFGW-10

The following features are supported for Supervisor Redundancy in SSO mode.

Platform

Configuration Synchronization

The running configuration and the startup configuration are synchronized from the active Supervisor card to the standby Supervisor card. The running configuration is synchronized line by line. The commands are executed on the active Supervisor card and then on the standby Supervisor card. Parser Return Code (PRC) is used to verify the active and standby Supervisor card have the same path of execution for the command.

All interfaces and ports are synchronized as part of the configuration.

Alarm management

Syslog alarms are synchronized to the standby Supervisor card at run time. Active alarms reside on each line card. On a Supervisor switchover, the newly active Supervisor card receives the alarms from the line cards.

Line card management

The state of line cards progresses through events such as line card insertion, line card removal, line card partial reset, and line card full reset. These events and the corresponding line card states are check pointed from the active Supervisor card to the standby Supervisor card. At the Supervisor switchover, the newly active Supervisor card continues to manage the line cards with the check pointed state information.

RF Switch

The RF switch management maintains state information on all the RF switch cards, whether or not the card is present in the system. The state information is synchronized from the active Supervisor to the standby Supervisor card whenever the RF switch is inserted or removed.

DEPI

In the Cisco IOS Release12.2(50)SQ, DEPI is configured in one of the two modes—manual mode via static DEPI path configuration or protocol mode via dynamic DEPI protocol. In DEPI manual mode, the Supervisor switchover does not affect the statically configured DEPI connections. Hence, the switchover interruption to DEPI data traffic is in subseconds.

In DEPI protocol mode, the DEPI control plane is SSO-unaware as the underlying IOS L2TPv3 protocol is SSO-unaware. Neither the L2TPv3 protocol state nor the DEPI state is checkpointed from the active Supervisor card to the standby Supervisor card. During Supervisor switchover, the DEPI control plane and data plane are recovered as follows with minimal service outage time:

DEPI control plane and data plane reestablishment—At Supervisor switchover, the newly active Supervisor card reestablishes the DEPI control connections and data sessions with its CMTS peer. The IDs of reestablished sessions fall into the same DEPI session ID range as before.

DEPI data plane nonstop forwarding (NSF)—While the newly active Supervisor card is re-establishing the DEPI connections and data sessions, the Cisco RFGW-10 receives and processes DEPI data traffic that the CMTS continues to forward through the existing data sessions. This nonstop forwarding function minimizes the service outage time for a couple of seconds. The existing data sessions are removed after the new sessions are established.

Video

The video SSO feature is not available in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(50)SQ. The video feature needs to run with the 1:1 Supervisor Redundancy in RPR mode.

Supervisor Uplink Configuration

To configure Supervisor uplink, use the following command in configuration mode:

Router(config)# hw-module uplink select [all | gigabitethernet | tengigabitethernet]

When Supervisor uplink is configured, only specific uplink ports are active and available for uplink connectivity. If you try to configure other uplink ports, an error message similar to the following is displayed:

% WARNING: Interface GigabitEthernet1/5 is usable/operational only in 'all' or % 'gigabit' 
uplink configuration when only one supervisor is present in the % chassis in slot 1.

Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3 show the valid port configurations for uplink.

Forcing a Switchover Between Active and Standby Supervisor

This section describes how to do a manual switchover between the active and standby Supervisor cards on the Cisco RFGW-10:

Forcing RPR Switchover

Reloading the Supervisor Cards

Forcing Stateful Switchover

Forcing RPR Switchover

To force the active Supervisor card to standby mode and the standby to active, use the redundancy force-switchover command in privileged EXEC mode:

Before the redundancy command is used, ensure that the active and standby Supervisor cards have a high availability Cisco IOS image installed and configured for Route Processor Redundancy (RPR) mode. Before the system switches over, it verifies that the standby Supervisor card is ready to take over. If the current running configuration is different from the startup configuration, the system prompts to save the running configuration before the switchover is performed.

A manual switchover is performed for one of the following reasons:

When an active Supervisor card is upgraded or replaced.

When the Cisco IOS software is upgraded on the standby Supervisor card and is required to start using the new software image. This allows the upgrade of the software on the former active Supervisor card without interrupting system operations.

When testing switchover operations on the system.

The following example shows a switchover being initiated manually:

Router# redundancy force-switchover
Proceed with switchover to standby Supervisor? [confirm] y 


Note Press enter or y to confirm the action to begin the switchover. If you press any other key, the switchover is aborted.


The following example shows a switchover failure because the standby Supervisor card is either not ready, not available, or not installed:

Router# redundancy force-switchover
There is no STANDBY present. Failed to force switchover

Reloading the Supervisor Cards

To reset the standby Supervisor card or to reset both the active and standby Supervisor cards, use the redundancy reload command in privileged EXEC mode:

Router# redundancy reload {peer | shelf}

Use peer to reload only the standby Supervisor card and use shelf to reload both the active and standby Supervisor cards.

The following example shows how to reset the standby Supervisor card:

Router# redundancy reload peer
Reload peer? [confirm] y
Preparing to reload peer

Note Press enter or y to confirm the action to begin the switchover. If you press any other key, the switchover is aborted.


The following example shows the system response when a standby Supervisor card is not installed in the router:

Router# redundancy reload peer

System is running in SIMPLEX mode, reload anyway? [confirm] n 
Peer reload not performed.

The following example shows how to reload both Supervisor cards:

Router# redundancy reload shelf

Reload the entire shelf [confirm] y
Preparing to reload entire shelf

Note Press enter or y to confirm the action to begin the switchover. If you press any other key, the switchover is aborted.


Forcing Stateful Switchover

The following commands are used to perform a manual switchover from the active Supervisor card to the standby Supervisor card:

redundancy force-switchover: Launches the switchover if the standby Supervisor card is in hot standby state. Use this command to initiate a switchover as it verifies the state of the standby Supervisor card

reload: Resets the Supervisor card


Note The redundancy force-failover main-cpu command is not supported in SSO mode.
