Neighbor database
Neighbor information is updated in the standby module based on updates from the active module. Certain neighbor state and interface
transitions are synchronized to the standby module. By default, the neighbor timers on the standby module are disabled.
LSA database
The standby module processes LSA synchronization events from the active module and unpacks the LSA synchronization information to
directly install it in its LSDB as the LSA has already been processed on the active module. The information required to install all types of
LSAs (and special LSAs such as Grace LSAs) is packed by OSPF on the active module in the synchronization buffer, so that you can
directly install LSAs on the standby module without extra processing.
The standby module is not allowed to originate any LSAs of its own. This is to maintain all information consistently from the active
module. The active module synchronizes self-originated LSAs to the standby module.
LSA aging is not applicable on the standby module. During synchronization from the active, the current LSA age is recorded and the new
database timestamp is created on the standby to later derive the LSA age as needed.
When the active module sends the LSAs to the standby module, based on the message, the standby module deletes or updates its link
state database with the latest information.
LSA acknowledging or flooding are not done on the standby module. When the LSA synchronization update arrives from the active
module, it will be directly installed into the LSDB.
Enabling and disabling NSR
To enable NSR for OSPF, enter the following commands:
device(config)# router ospf
device(config-ospf-router)# nonstop-routing
To disable NSR for OSPF, enter the following commands:
device(config)# router ospf
device(config-ospf-router)# no nonstop-routing
Syntax:
[no] nonstop-routing
If you enter the
graceful-restart
command when NSR is already enabled, the command is rejected with the following message: “Error -
Please disable NSR before enabling Graceful Restart.”
Similarly, if you enter the
nonstop-routing
command when graceful restart is already enabled, the command is rejected and the following
message is displayed: “Error - Please disable Graceful Restart before enabling NSR.”
To disable
graceful-restart
command, the following commands:
Brocade (config)# router ospf
Brocade (config-ospf-router)# no graceful-restart
Limitations of NSR
Following are the limitations of NSR:
•
Configurations that occur before the switchover are lost due to the CLI synchronization.
•
NSR does not support virtual link.
