Describes how to identify the active route processor in a redundant pair using the green Active LED on the card faceplate.
During system startup, one RP in each redundant pair becomes the active RP. You can identify the active RP in these ways:
-
The active RP is identifiable by the green Active LED on the faceplate of the card. When the Active LED turns on, it indicates that the RP is active. When the Active LED turns off, it indicates that the RP is in standby.
-
The slot of the active RP is indicated in the CLI prompt. For example:
Router#In this example, the prompt indicates that you are communicating with the active RP in slot RP1.
-
Use the showredundancy command in EXEC mode to display a summary of the active and standby RP status. For example:
Router# show redundancy This node (0/RP0/CPU0) is in ACTIVE role Partner node (0/RP1/CPU0) is in STANDBY role Standby node in 0/RP1/CPU0 is ready Reload and boot info ---------------------- RP reloaded Fri Apr 9 03:44:28 2004: 16 hours, 51 minutes ago This node booted Fri Apr 9 06:19:05 2004: 14 hours, 16 minutes ago Last switch-over Fri Apr 9 06:53:18 2004: 13 hours, 42 minutes ago Standby node boot Fri Apr 9 06:54:25 2004: 13 hours, 41 minutes ago Standby node last not ready Fri Apr 9 20:35:23 2004: 0 minutes ago Standby node last ready Fri Apr 9 20:35:23 2004: 0 minutes ago There have been 2 switch-overs since reload
