How to Decrease Failover Time

cmadiam82 · ‎04-10-2008

Hi Guys!

Is there any way on how to decrease the delay time of a failover line when the other line turns down. Im using EIGRP for load balance and auto-failover.

Thanks!!!

Hi Chester,

With EIGRP, the failover is very fast, measured in milliseconds, especially when you have a feasible successor route in the topology table (like your situation).

Did you measure the failover time you have now ? What failover time would you like to achieve?

The time the failover will come is may be around 6seconds. Can you give me a nice way on how to measure it? Im just trying to ping the LAN interface then i will manually shut the other WAN interface from the remote site. H.O site and Remote site are both having to MPLS connection terminated on two Serial Interfaces.

Hi Chester,

Can you please post your running-config and the output of the "show ip route" and "show ip eigrp topology" commands?

I would like to see what you have exactly there.

Thanks:
