    Example: Configuring a Chassis Cluster with a Dampening Time Between Back-to-Back Redundancy Group Failovers

    This example shows how to configure the dampening time between back-to-back redundancy group failovers for a chassis cluster. Back-to-back redundancy group failovers that occur too quickly can cause a chassis cluster to exhibit unpredictable behavior.

    Requirements

    Before you begin:

    Overview

    The dampening time is the minimum interval allowed between back-to-back failovers for a redundancy group. This interval affects manual failovers and automatic failovers caused by interface monitoring failures.

    In this example, you set the minimum interval allowed between back-to-back failovers to 420 seconds for redundancy group 0.

    Configuration

    Step-by-Step Procedure

    To configure the dampening time between back-to-back redundancy group failovers:

    1. Set the dampening time for the redundancy group.
      {primary:node0}[edit]user@host# set chassis cluster redundancy-group 0 hold-down-interval 420
    2. If you are done configuring the device, commit the configuration.
      {primary:node0}[edit]user@host# commit

    Verification

    Purpose

    Verify that the configuration is working properly.

    Action

    To verify the configuration, enter the show configuration chassis cluster command.
