8-18 Administrator’s Handbook
During recover y, the following reasons may appear:
•
Time Since Detection
is a display-only field that is only visible if backup or recover y is in progress. It
displays the elapsed time since detection of either WAN line failure or re-establishment of the connection.
•
Switchover Time
displays how high the
Time Since Detection
will count before the inter face switches,
either from Primar y to Backup or from Backup to Primar y.
This field is only visible if Backup or Recover y is set to
Automatic
.
When the current inter face is Primar y and a backup condition exists
Switchover Time
will display one of
two values:
• If the last backup event was on layer 2 and
Auto-Recovery on loss of Layer 2
is set to
YES
, it will display
the
Layer 2 Failure Timer
value.
• If this is the first backup event, or the last backup event was on layer 1, it will display the
Requires
Failure of
value.
When the current inter face is the Backup inter face and a recover y condition exists, it will display the
Requires Recover y of
value.
The displayed value does not change. Rather it indicates how high the
Time Since Detection
must count
before the switchover occurs.
•
The
FORCE BACKUP/FORCE RECOVERY
option is a selectable option that, depending on the current state
of backup, will force the switching of gateways. If you are currently in backup mode, the option will be
FORCE RECOVERY
. If you are currently in primar y mode, the option will be
FORCE BACKUP
. Selecting
either one and pressing Return will force the link to switch to the other mode.
QuickView
The QuickView screen now has an information element to indicate which gateway is in use.
Recovery of Layer 1
Indicates sync restored on the Primar y link
Layer 2 Override
Indicates the backup occurred on layer 2, and
‘Auto-Recover y on loss of Layer 2’ was set to YES
Layer 2 Recovery
Indicates that backup was on Layer 2 and the inter face is
fully restored (including Backup Ping)
