Introduction

Figure 1-2. Layer 3 Supervisor Conceptual Operation

Redundant Supervisor

The redundant supervisor module is an auxiliary (standby)

supervisor module that acts as a fault-tolerant supervisor in the

event that the active supervisor fails. The redundant supervisor

provides a seamless solution to switch failure. Once the redundant

supervisor is installed, loaded with the same software version as the

active supervisor, and synchronized, it is ready to act as a backup to

the active supervisor. If the active supervisor does fail, the

redundant module quickly assumes control with the least possible

effect on network operation. No user intervention is required for the

CPU module switchover. The management view is accessible

without changing IP or MAC addresses.

The redundant supervisor introduces the concepts of an internal

network and internal network mask.

The internal IP network consists of an internal network Virtual LAN

(VLAN) that is only used to connect the redundant supervisors in

slots 1 and 2. Health messages get passed and image and

configuration synchronization access between the supervisor

modules are done over the internal IP network. The internal IP

network uses the internal network IP mask.
