FT Interface Configuration Mode Commands

FT interface configuration mode commands allows you to configure redundancy parameters for the fault-tolerant (FT) VLAN. The FT VLAN is a dedicated interface that the ACE uses exclusively for redundancy traffic (such as heartbeat, state, and replication packets). For more information about configuring redundancy on the ACE, see the Administration Guide, Cisco ACE Application Control Engine.

To create an FT VLAN and access FT interface configuration mode, use the ft interface vlan command in configuration mode. The CLI prompt changes to (config-ft-intf). For information about the commands in FT interface configuration mode, see the following commands.

Use the no form of this command to remove an FT VLAN from the redundancy configuration.

Usage Guidelines

All commands in this mode require the System feature in your user role. For details about role-based access control (RBAC) and user roles, see the Virtualization Guide, Cisco ACE Application Control Engine.

To remove an FT VLAN from the redundancy configuration, first dissociate it from the FT peer using the no form of the (config-ft-peer) ft-interface vlan command and then enter the no ft interface vlan command in configuration mode.

Examples

To configure an FT VLAN and access FT group configuration mode, enter:

host1/Admin(config)# ft interface vlan 4000

host1/Admin(config-ft-intf)#

To delete the FT VLAN configuration, enter:

host1/Admin(config)# no ft interface vlan 4000
