SSO switchover

[lawwm]

Hi all,

Currently I am having an issue with 12406.

One of my primary 4 slot RE has failed over to 5 slot RE hot standby. Less 24 hours the 5 slot has switch over back to 4 again. Keep going like that within 3 days twice per day.

My question is when first attempt from 4 to 5, why 5 need to switch back 4 by itself? Is possible certain time frame, slot 5 detect or sense that 4 is stable, it will auto switch over? It doesnt make any sense to me because why switch over since slot 5 is running fine. If switch over 0-3s interrupt services.

I also support Juniper. It will switch over until i perform manual switch by command prompt.

Any ref for SSO behavior? I tried to find..no luck

Hi lawwm,

That is not normal behaviour. If the failed RP manages to reboot ok then it becomes the new standby and stays that way until either:

• A fault condition that causes the active RP to crash or reboot-automatic switchover

• The active RP is declared dead (not responding)-automatic switchover

• The CLI is invoked-manual switchover

Check the log. Also checkout "show redundancy" and it's various options.

Check that both RPs are running the same version of IOS.

Here's some further information:
