Use the CLI syntax displayed below to configure synchronization components relating to active-to-standby CPM switchover. In redundant systems, synchronization ensures that the active and standby CPMs have identical operational configuration, including the active configuration, CPM, XCM, and IOM images in the event of a failure or reset of the active CPM.
The force-switchover command forces a switchover to the standby CPM card.
You can configure automatic synchronization to occur when the admin save or bof save commands are executed.
When boot-env is specified, the bof.cfg, primary/secondary/tertiary configuration files (.cfg and .ndx), li, and SSH files are automatically synchronized. When config is specified, only the configuration files are automatically synchronized.
Synchronization also occurs whenever the BOF is modified and when an admin save command is entered with no filename specified.
