Immediately Synchronizing Route Processor Configurations (Catalyst 8540 MSR)
To immediately synchronize the configurations used by the two route processors, use the following
privileged EXEC command on the primary route processor:
Example
In the following example, both the startup and running configurations are synchronized immediately:
Switch# redundancy manual-sync both
Synchronizing the Configurations During Switchover (Catalyst 8540 MSR)
To manually synchronize the configurations used by the two route processors during a switchover,
perform the following steps on the primary route processor, beginning in global configuration mode:
Example
In the following example, both the startup and running configurations are synchronized:
Switch(config)# redundancy
Switch(config-r)# main-cpu
Switch(config-r-mc)# sync config both
Switch(config-r-mc)# end
Switch# copy running-config startup-config
Command Purpose
redundancy manual-sync {startup-config |
running-config | both}
Immediately synchronizes the configuration.
Command Purpose
Step 1
Switch(config)# redundancy
Switch(config-r)#
Enters redundancy configuration mode.
Step 2
Switch(config-r)# main-cpu
Switch(config-r-mc)#
Enters main-cpu configuration submode.
Step 3
Switch(config-r-mc)# sync config {startup |
running | both}
1
1. Alternatively, you can force an immediate synchronization by entering the redundancy manual-sync command in
privileged EXEC mode.
Synchronizes either or both configurations during
switchover or writing the files to NVRAM.
Step 4
Switch(config-r-mc)# end
Switch#
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
Switch# copy running-config startup-config Forces a manual synchronization of the
configuration files in NVRAM.
Note This step is unnecessary to synchronize
the running configuration file in DRAM.
