ACE preemption not working correctly

pwenger

Level 3

What I want to do:

ACE B, which is in the STANDBY_HOT state should going to ACTIVE mode when ACE A, which is ACTIVE,goes down. ACE B, which is in ACTIVE mode now should stay ACTIVE even when ACE A comes backup.

I made already several tests and saw, that when the ACE's are not in a productive ennvironment it works as I like it, but when it is in a productive ennvironment, ACE A takes back the ACTIVE state altough I configured no preempt. I also tried it with diffrent priorities, but same thing happend. What am I missing?

ft group 21

peer 1

no preempt

associate-context Admin

inservice

ft group 20

peer 1

no preempt

associate-context MOCS

CSCsi63012 - ACE with time greater among both always becomes active

This should fix the problem.

This ddts was integrated in A2(1.0)

Hi Gilles,

as Pascal already told you via mail I'm running a higer version.

Peter,

we will need to do some analysis of the config and the 'show ft history ...' (all 3 commands) captured on both devices just after the failover.

Better open a case for that.

You have identical ft priorities try adding a priority to you ft group.

There is

priority (which is the module you are on)

and

peer priority (which is the standby)

ft group 3

peer 1

priority 200
