Redundacy Not happening after interface goes down.

Dear All,

I have the set up which I have attached. To brief, I have 2 CSS 11501 in two different locations connected each other via fibre and running redundnacy protocol on the link as heartbeat.

The problem I am facing is if the interface through which the services are running fails the redundancy is not happening the master remains the master and the standby is standby and we have a services unavailable.

the configuration is given below

CSS_ACTIVE# sh run

If the interface e1 fails on active the redundancy is not shifting to standby.

You have setup box-to-box redundancy.

This mechanism is very basic and only detects a box failure.  So, as long as the master can send heartbeat through the 'redundancy protocol' interface it will stay master.

You should use interface/vip redundancy.

A little bit more complex to configure but much more robust and with more features including interface failure detection.
