Active/Standby ASR9000v ICL

[Dominique Demore]

Hi Everyone,

After going through the documentation for the 9000v, I'm wondering if it's possible to setup the following scenario without using nV Edge. I have a pair of ASR9912 which are configured as standalone units. We have received 3 ASR9000v which we would like to configured in an Active/Standby scenario as part of a customer requirement. 

There's a diagram in this link: https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/9868421/asr9000xr-using-satellite-technote which shows the scenario, but it looks like a VSS deployment. In the same document, section 13 describes a Dual-Host configuration. I'm wondering if this is what I am looking for. Will the GigE Interfaces on the "standby" system be in a shutdown state? I'd be worried about some conflicts.

I won't have the second 9912 up and running until Mid-January due to power and rack space, so I can't test until then.

Has anyone successfully deployed this scenario without using nV Edge? 

Thanks.

Dom,

We prefer you evaluate Advanced Dual Home, which is a new feature. You won't need to use NV EDGE and we're actually advocating customers away from this technology to something more standards based. Take a look at the following:
