Routing
Commands

The Routing Commands (described below) are used both in route
failover mode and in serial failover mode. In serial failover mode,
they advertise routes to the VIPs.

NOTE: Latency exists in
the refresh process of
normal routing tables. If
you configure OSPF
routing protocol for a
SA8220 on a specific
router, VIP destinations
may be inconsistent in the
routing table. If you
change the role from or to
Standalone, you must
specify the protocol on
the same line.

This is critical for VIPs that are not in the same subnet as the SA8220.
If you use route failover, you must configure a routing protocol
(OSPF or RIP) appropriate to your router.

Use of the first two commands in this section, config route role and
config route protocol, must be coordinated. If role is set to
"

standalone

," then protocol must be set to "none." If role is set to

"

primary

" or "

backup

," then protocol must be set to OSPF or RIP,

(such as

config route role standalone protocol none

).

For example:

config route role standalone protocol disable

or

config route role primary protocol ospf

Command

Description

config route ospf-area

NOTE:

ospf-area

must

be set to the same OSPF
area as the ingress router to
which the SA8220 is talking.
This can be the keyword,
"backbone," or an integer
from 0 to 2,147,483,647, or
dotted decimal format
(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).

Changes the OSPF area.

config route ospf-area [backbone | ]

where:

backbone

sets the OSPF area to backbone (0.0.0.0)

area

is the OSPF area ID.

config route ospf-hello

Changes the OSPF hello interval. The hello interval is the number
of seconds between hello packets sent on this interface. This must
match the hello interval of the ingress router. The range of valid
values is 1 to 65535, and the default is 10.

config route ospf-hello

where

nseconds

is the number of seconds in the hello interval.
