The restart time varies by process. In general, interface-related processes are hitless and can be restarted in
seconds; if a restart is successful, traffic is not interrupted. Protocol tasks and line card processes are not
hitless and take longer to restart. You can select which process may attempt to restart and the number of
consecutive restart attempts before failover, but by default, every process fails over.
Task
Enable Process Restartability for a
process or task.
Display the processes and tasks
configured for restart.
When a process restarts, FTOS displays
Message 9 System Message for Process Restarts
[9/18 23:22:21] TME-(tme): Starting to restart the failed process tacplus
[9/18 23:22:41] TME-(tme): Finishing restarting the failed process tacplus
Customers can specify the timestamp in hour(s) so that if the number of attempts to restart exceeds the max
allowed within this timestamp, the restart mode will be changed into failover mode from this moment on.
Meaning the next time the crashed process will NOT be restarted but failover to the standby RPM if it is on
a dual RPM environment and rebooted if it is on a single RPM.
