To cause the maser unit to failover to the standby unit, click Initiate Failover.

The failover results in a warm restart of the master unit in the stack. Initiating

a failover reloads the Management Unit, triggering the backup unit to take

over.

NOTE:

The OSPF feature uses NSF to enable the hardware to continue forwarding

IPv4 packets using OSPF routes while a backup unit takes over Management Unit

responsibility. To configure NSF on a stack that uses OSPF or OSPFv3, see "NSF

OSPF Summary (PCM6220 and PCM6348 Only)" on page 963 and "NSF OSPFv3

Configuration (PCM6220 and PCM6348 only)" on page 980.
