sync-active-path-bandwidth

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

When you have a primary and a secondary path configuration, specify that a path needs to be signaled with the active-path bandwidth when the auto-bandwidth adjustment happens and that the secondary path synchronizes the bandwidth reservations to that of the primary path.

When a primary path fails, bandwidth reservations are made by the secondary path on the links that it uses. If you include the sync-active-path-bandwidth statement, the secondary path releases the bandwidth it has reserved and adjusts its bandwidth after the primary path begins carrying traffic.

For example, suppose the active path is a secondary path with a reserved bandwidth of 10 GB as a result of the automatic bandwidth adjustment. Then suppose there is a switchover from the secondary path to the primary path. After some time the primary path reserves 5 GB as a result of a new automatic adjustment. Without the sync-active-path-bandwidth statement, the secondary path does not release the 10 GB after a switchover occurs. That bandwidth is wasted. If the sync-active-path-bandwidth is included in the configuration, the secondary path adjusts its bandwidth to 5 GB along with the primary path.

Default

When you have a primary and a secondary path configuration, and the primary path fails, bandwidth reservations are made by the secondary path on the links that it uses. When the primary path comes back and the traffic switches over, the secondary path does not release its bandwidth reservations.
