This MIB was designed to complement the CISCO-RF-MIB by
providing additional optional status and configuration control
for redundant CPU platforms.
However, the MIB should also be applicable to redundant
platforms which don't use the RF Redundancy Framework software
since it makes no direct references to any CISCO-RF-MIB objects
or textual conventions and no direct reference to any RF
states, RF events or internal information.
Glossary of terms used in this document:
Active - A redundant CPU which is actively controlling
the system.
Running configuration - The runtime configuration of a
system which reflects current configured
hardware or software settings. Runtime
configuration which is not stored in
non-volatile memory may be lost if the system
loses power.
Standby - A redundant CPU which is not currently
controlling the system, but which can take
over control if the Active CPU fails.
Startup configuration - A copy of system configuration
stored in non-volatile memory which can be
applied following a system powerup.
For platforms where all runtime configuration
is automatically stored in a non-volatile
manner, the running and startup configurations
are always identical.
Switchover - The transfer of control from one CPU to a
redundant CPU.
Sync - The mirroring (or synchronizing) of system
state, configuration, statistics or other
information from the Active CPU to a Standby
CPU to allow it to maintain full system control
following a switchover. |
