Additional commands affected by redundant management

The other existing commands operate with redundant management as shown below.

Command

Action

auto-tftp

If a new image is downloaded using auto-tftp, the active management module downloads the new software version to both the active and standby modules. Rebooting after the auto-tftp completes reboots the entire system.

banner

The banner will not been seen on the standby module, only the active module.

chassislocate

If the management module performs a switchover, the LED does not remain lit.

clear

The clear crypto command causes public keys to be deleted from both modules when the second module is in standby mode.

console

Console settings, such as mode, flow-control, and baud-rate, are the same on both management modules. There cannot be individual settings for each management module.

copy
Files are automatically sync'd from the active management module to the standby management module.When no parameter is specified with the copy crash-data or copy crash-log command, files from all modules (management and interface) are concatenated.
NOTE:

If redundancy is disabled or the standby module failed selftest, the copy command affects only the active management module.


copy core-dump [mm | standby | flash | xmodem | usb filename]
The copy core-dump standby flash command copies the standby management module's coredump to the active management module's flash. The destination file is fixed as dumpM1.cor or dumpM2.cor, depending on which module is the standby management module.The

copy core-dump [mm | standby | flash | xmodem | usb <filename>]
command copies the core file of the active management module or the standby management module to a USB flash drive or to an xmodem host.
core-dump management-module

Enables or disables a core dump on a management module.

crypto

Authentication files for ssh or the https server are copied to the standby management module. The clear crypto command deletes the public keys from both modules when the second module is in standby mode.

erase flash

Erases the software version on the active and standby modules. If redundancy has been disabled, or if the standby module has not passed selftest, the flash is not erased on the standby module.

erase config

Erases the config file on the active and standby modules. If redundancy has been disabled, or if the standby module has not passed selftest, the config file is not erased on the standby module.

erase startup-config

Affects both modules if the second module is in standby mode. If redundancy has been disabled, or if the standby module has not passed selftest, the startup-config file is not erased on the standby module.

fastboot

When fastboot is enabled, this information is saved to the standby management module when the config files are sync'd. The fastboot value is used during the next boot on both modules.

front-panel-securityfactory-reset password-clear password-recovery

This command and its options affect only the active management module.

kill

Does not affect the console on the standby module.

log

Log messages from a formerly active management module are available on the current active management module after a switchover.

password (set

or clear)

Affects only the active management module until a switchover occurs, at which time it affects the new active module.

startup-default

Affects both modules. The config file is immediately sent to the standby module and also becomes the default on that module when the next boot occurs.

update

Affects only the active module. The standby may become the active module when the updated active module is booted.

write

A write memory updates the config file in flash on the active module. The file is then sync'd to the standby module.
