4710 -standby cold

nygenxny123 · ‎04-13-2011

I just configured FT on our 4710's running software 4.1

We currently only have 3 contexts.....Admin/Development/Reserved

Howerver I only configured an FT group for the Development context.

The configs seemed to have replicated to the secondary but ft group status tells me it is in standby cold?

I'm not sure if my config is wrong

FT Group                     : 1
Configured Status            : in-service
Maintenance mode             : MAINT_MODE_OFF

Peer Id                      : 1

here is my template :

ft peer 1
heartbeat interval 100
heartbeat count 10
ft-interface vlan 30
ft group 1
peer 1
no preempt
priority 120
peer priority 110
associate-context Admin
inservice

i've seen the "standby cold" state in the past (this state is not documented) during upgrades

hmm..this is not a software upgarde

have you added the "peer priority" command on both node ? HA config must be symetric.

nygenxny123 · ‎04-14-2011

yep..this is my "standby" config for HA

ft peer 1
heartbeat interval 300
heartbeat count 10
ft-interface vlan 900

ft group 1
peer 1
priority 50
associate-context Development
inservice

on each device you have to put the "peer priority xxx" to get tha HA working.

On the first one put the "peer-priority 50" and on the other "peer priority 200" for each HA process
