Chapter 23 Configuring Redundancy
To determine the status of the designated MSFC, enter the show fm features or the show redundancy
command:
Router-15# show redundancy
Designated Router: 1 Non-designated Router:2
Redundancy Status: non-designated
Config Sync AdminStatus
Config Sync RuntimeStatus: enabled
Router-16# show redundancy
Designated Router: 1 Non-designated Router:2
Redundancy Status: designated
Config Sync AdminStatus
Config sync RuntimeStatus: enabled
Dual MSFC Operational Model for Redundancy and Load Sharing

access layer switch. Because there is no Layer 2 loop, HSRP is used for convergence and load sharing.
Switches S1 and S2 have a supervisor engine with an MSFC in slot 1 (Sup #1/MSFC #1) and in slot 2
(Sup #2/MSFC #2). Sup #1 is active and Sup #2 is in standby mode in both switches. High availability
is enabled on the supervisor engines. The supervisor engines automatically perform image and
configuration synchronization; you must manually synchronize the images and configurations on the
MSFCs.

Load sharing is achieved by having the even-numbered VLANs routed by Switch S1 and the
odd-numbered VLANs routed by Switch S2. In a complete switch failure, the remaining switch would
service both the even and odd VLANs.

23-2, you should configure redundancy and load sharing as follows:
VLAN 10 (even-numbered VLANs)—Configure MSFC #1 in Switch S1 as the primary HSRP router
(priority 110), and configure MSFC #2 as the standby router (priority 109).
VLAN 21 (odd-numbered VLANs)—Configure MSFC #1 in Switch S2 as the primary HSRP router
(priority 110), and configure MSFC #2 as the standby router (priority 109).
