Configuration Synchronization

In a redundant configuration, master and slave platforms require consistent configuration. Online configuration synchronization helps to prevent a tedious error-prone manual process to ensure that the configuration is synchronized between a pair of redundant platforms.

This feature provides a mechanism where the configuration created on one platform is updated and synchronously on its redundancy peer. This way, the platform configurations are guaranteed to be always synchronized, without requiring manual intervention.

This capability operates in a master/slave mode where the master platform is the only one that can be configured by the administrator and the slave platform is configured by the master platform only. Automatic configuration synchronization is achieved by providing an online update of the slave platform for all configuration operations performed on the master platform.

Notes:  

The redundancy configuration is updated on the slave platform according to the recommended configuration in the Configuration Guidelines section.

This capability is only supported for a pair of platforms using VRRP in an Active-backup scenario.
