no

Removes the peer IP address of the backup chassis.
ipv4_address | ipv6_address

Specifies the IP address of the backup chassis, entered using IPv4 dotted-decimal or IPv6 colon-separated-hexadecimal notation.

IMPORTANT:

Both peers must be using the same address family (IPv4 or IPv6) or the Service Redundancy Protocol (SRP) connection will not be established.
Usage:

This command is used to identify the peer chassis in the ICSR configuration. From the primary’s perspective, the peer is the backup and from the backup’s perspective, the peer is the primary.
Example:
The following example specifies 10.2.3.4 as a backup peer system to the primary system:

    peer-ip-address 10.2.3.4

priority

Sets the initial ICSR priority of each peer chassis.

IMPORTANT:

priority takes affect only during simultaneous initializing of all chassis in an ICSR configuration, and only if a misconfiguration has both chassis in the same mode (both Primary or both Backup).
Platform:

ASR 5000

ASR 5500
Product:

All products supporting ICSR
Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax

    priority priority_valuedefault priority

default

Resets the priority to the default setting of 125.
priority_value

Specifies the priority for the chassis.

priority_value must be an integer from 1 through 255, where 1 is the highest priority.

Default: 125
Usage:

This command determines which chassis transitions to the Active state when all chassis have the same mode configuration. priority acts as a tie breaker for the state determination only when all chassis initialize simultaneously. The chassis with the higher priority (lower number) becomes Active, while the chassis with the lower priority (higher number) becomes Standby.

Once chassis become operational (after initialization), if there is an event requiring a chassis change of state, then each chassis returns to its previous state (Active or Standby) after both chassis recover.
Example:
The following example sets the priority value to 5:

    priority 5

route-modifier

threshold_value

Specifies the value that causes the route-modifier counter to be reset to the initial value. threshold_value must be an integer from 2 through 32.

Default: 16
Usage:

This command is used to determine when the route modifier should be reset to its initial value to avoid rollover.
Example:
The following example sets the route modifier threshold to 10:

    route-modifier threshold 10
