Initial Configuration Using Redundant Control Modules
For example, enter Enable mode on the backup CM, and then enter the help command (?). This produces the following
output:
Notice that most of the Enable mode functionality is missing and there is no access to Configure mode. However, the
backup CM does provide access to both the file and system facilities. These facilities allow you to do the following
on the backup CM:
• Copy files
• Delete files
• Rename files
• Reformat the file system
• List system images
• Choose system images
Note Also, you can enter the reboot command from the backup CM, however, the
command reboots only the backup CM – the primary CM is not affected.
4.9.3 Things to Remember when Using Redundant Control Modules
This section points out several issues that must be taken into account when using redundant Control Modules.
Booting the RS 32000 From the Network
If you have set the RS 32000 to obtain its image software from a TFTP server (see Section 5.3, "Loading Software from
the Network"), the IP addresses that appear for
netaddr from within BootPROM mode should be different for both
the primary and backup CM. Furthermore, the IP address of the Ethernet management interface (en0) should differ
from both
netaddr addresses. These IP addresses are listed below:
• One unique primary CM boot IP address
• One unique backup CM boot IP address
• One unique en0 interface IP address
If any of these IP addresses are the same, non-unique IP address errors will occur during fail over. Furthermore, none
of the IP addresses mentioned above can be used to create an IP interface.
