System Command Reference
The active CPM ensures that the active configuration is maintained on the standby CPM. However, to
ensure smooth operation under all circumstances, runtime images and system initialization
configurations must also be automatically synchronized between the active and standby CPM. If
synchronization fails, alarms and log messages that indicate the type of error that caused the failure of
the synchronization operation are generated. When the error condition ceases to exist, the alarm is
cleared.
Only files stored on the router are synchronized. If a configuration file or image is stored in a location
other than on a local compact flash, the file is not synchronized (for example, storing a configuration
file on an FTP server).
The no form of the command removes the parameter from the configuration.
Default
none
Parameters
boot-env — Synchronizes all files required for the boot process (loader, BOF, images, and
config — Synchronizes only the primary, secondary, and tertiary configuration files.
synchronize
Syntax synchronize {boot-env | config}
Context config>redundancy
Description
This command performs a synchronization of the standby CPMs images and/or config files to the
active CPM. Either the boot-env or config parameter must be specified.
In the config>redundancy context, this command performs an automatically triggered standby CPM
synchronization. When the standby CPM takes over operation following a failure or reset of the active
CPM, it is important to ensure that the active and standby CPMs have identical operational parameters.
This includes the saved configuration, CPM, XCM, and IOM images.
The active CPM ensures that the active configuration is maintained on the standby CPM. However, to
ensure smooth operation under all circumstances, runtime images and system initialization
configurations must also be automatically synchronized between the active and standby CPM.
If synchronization fails, alarms and log messages that indicate the type of error that caused the failure
of the synchronization operation are generated. When the error condition ceases to exist, the alarm is
cleared.
Only files stored on the router are synchronized. If a configuration file or image is stored in a location
other than on a local compact flash, the file is not synchronized (for example, storing a configuration
file on an FTP server).
