Nsf Summary - Dell PowerConnect 7048P Manual

NSF Summary

Use the NSF Summary page to change the administrative status of the NSF
feature and to view NSF information.
NOTE:
The OSPF feature uses NSF to enable the hardware to continue forwarding
IPv4 packets using OSPF routes while a backup unit takes over Management Unit
responsibility. To configure NSF on a stack that uses OSPF or OSPFv3, see "NSF
OSPF Summary" on page 951 and "NSF OSPFv3 Configuration" on page 968.
To display the NSF Summary page, click System → Stack Management →
NSF Summary in the navigation panel.

To cause the maser unit to failover to the standby unit, click Initiate Failover.
The failover results in a warm restart of the master unit in the stack. Initiating
a failover reloads the Management Unit, triggering the backup unit to take
over.
