Usage Guidelines
•
Configuring the HIC server identity and related parameters is required before globally enabling the
HIC feature for the switch.
•
The primary server is initially configured as the active server and the backup server as inactive.
•
A keepalive message will be sent to the active server if the switch does not receive any HIC-UPDATEs
from the server for 16 seconds. The switch will remain the active server upon receiving the keepalive
acknowledgement.
•
The switch will send a total of four keepalive messages to the active server in 6 second intervals. If no
response is received, the inactive server becomes the active server provided the server status is UP.
•
If both servers are unavailable the switch operates in either Hold or Pass-through mode based on the
HIC Server failure mode that has been configured.
•
Background polling (Keepalive) packets are sent to the primary server every 16 seconds.
