no-split-detection (MX Series Virtual Chassis)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

As part of the preprovisioned configuration for an MX Series Virtual Chassis, disable detection of a split in the Virtual Chassis configuration. By default, split detection in the Virtual Chassis is enabled. To maintain the Virtual Chassis configuration in the event of a failure of one of the two member routers, we recommend that you use the no-split-detection statement to disable split detection in Virtual Chassis configurations in which you think the backup router is more likely to fail than the link to the backup router.

Best Practice:

We recommend that you use the no-split-detection statement to disable split detection for a two-member MX Series Virtual Chassis configuration if you think the backup router is more likely to fail than the Virtual Chassis port links to the backup router. Configuring redundant Virtual Chassis ports on different line cards in each member router reduces the likelihood that all Virtual Chassis port interfaces to the backup router can fail.
