Configuring Fast Hello Dual-Active Detection
Fast hello dual-active detection is enabled by default; however, you must configure dual-active interface
pairs to act as fast hello dual-active messaging links.
To configure fast hello dual-active detection, perform this task:
When you configure fast hello dual-active interface pairs, note the following information:
•
You can configure a maximum of four interfaces on each chassis to connect with the other chassis
in dual-active interface pairs.
•
Each interface must be directly connected to the other chassis and must not be a VSL link. We
recommend using links from a switching module not used by the VSL.
•
Each interface must be a physical port. Logical ports such as an SVI are not supported.
•
Configuring fast hello dual-active mode will automatically remove all existing configuration from
the interface and will restrict the interface to fast hello dual-active configuration commands.
•
Unidirectional link detection (UDLD) will be disabled on fast hello dual-active interface pairs.
This example shows how to configure an interface for fast hello dual-active detection:
Router(config)# switch virtual domain 255
Router(config-vs-domain)# dual-active detection fast-hello
Router(config-vs-domain)# exit
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 1/2/40
Router(config-if)# dual-active fast-hello
Command
Purpose
Step 1
Router(config)# switch virtual domain domain_id
Enters the virtual switch submode.
Step 2
Router(config-vs-domain)# dual-active detection
fast-hello
Enables the fast hello dual-active detection method.
Fast hello dual-active detection is enabled by default.
Step 3
Router(config-vs-domain)# exit
Exits virtual switch submode.
Step 4
Router(config)# interface type
1
switch/slot/port
1.
type
= fastethernet, gigabitethernet, or tengigabitethernet
Selects the interface to configure. This interface must
be directly connected to the other chassis and must
not be a VSL link.
Step 5
Router(config-if)# dual-active fast-hello
Enables fast hello dual-active detection on the
interface, automatically removes all other
configuration from the interface, and restricts the
interface to dual-active configuration commands.
Step 6
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Activates the interface.
