CSS11503 Disable preempt mode

[Michal Bruncko]

Hello,

I wanted to disable preempt mode for virtual-router for vip-redundancy for CSS11503.

lb01# show running-config circuit

!************************** CIRCUIT **************************

circuit VLAN8

  ip address 192.168.101.131 255.255.255.0

    ip virtual-router 1 priority 110 preempt

    ip redundant-interface 1 192.168.101.133

    ip redundant-vip 1 192.168.101.142

...

once I've tried to disable "preempt" option using:

lb01(config-circuit[VLAN8])# ip address 192.168.101.131/24

lb01(config-circuit-ip[VLAN8-192.168.101.131])# ip virtual-router 1 priority 110

%% Virtual Router is in use on a reporter and cannot be modified or removed.

lb01(config-circuit-ip[VLAN8-192.168.101.131])# ip virtual-router 1             

%% Virtual Router is in use on a reporter and cannot be modified or removed.

which disallows me to remove preemption. Any ideas how to remove it from configuration without affecting production traffic?

thanks!

Hi Michal,

This cannot be done live. A maintenance window is needed in order to accomplish the task.

In order to change any VR priority you need to suspend the content

rule and source groups that are related to it, otherwise you will get errors of there is a
reporter being used or the VR belongs to an active content rule.

Thanks for response Ajay. Understand now, we need to suspend all related content/group sections to that circuit/VR. This suspendion can be done at once or I need to suspend every section (content/group/..) one by one? Is it possible do display all related content/group/.. sections to specific VR?

thanks

Hi,

You need to do one by one.
