member-failure-options (Aggregated Multiservices)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Configure the possible behavior for the aggregated Multiservices (AMS) interface in case of failure of more than one active member.

Note:

The drop-member-traffic configuration and the redistribute-all-traffic configuration are mutually exclusive.

Table 1 displays the behavior of the member interface after the failure of the first services PIC. Table 2 displays the behavior of the member interface after the failure of two services PICs.

Note:

The AMS infrastructure has been designed to handle one failure automatically. However, in the unlikely event that more than one services PIC fails, the AMS infrastructure provides configuration options to minimize the impact on existing traffic flows.

drop-member-traffic

Configured

The existing traffic for the second failed member will not be redistributed to the other members.

The first member to rejoin becomes an active member. The second member to rejoin becomes the backup. This behavior is handled automatically by the AMS infrastructure.

The existing traffic for the second failed member will not be redistributed to the other members.

The first member will rejoin the AMS automatically. However, the other members who are rejoining will be moved to the discard state.

redistribute-all-traffic

Not applicable

Before rejoin, the traffic is redistributed to existing active members.

After a failed member rejoins, the traffic is load-balanced afresh. This may impact existing traffic flows.

The remaining statements are explained separately. See CLI Explorer.

Default

If member-failure-options are not configured, then the default behavior is to drop member traffic with a rejoin timeout of 120 seconds.
