uplink (management module failover) command

This command displays and configures the management-module uplink failover feature. If the physical external network interface of the primary management module fails, this feature forces a failover to the standby management module, if one is installed.

Table 1. uplink command
Function	What it does	Command	Valid targets
Display uplink failover status	Displays the management-module uplink failover status (enabled or disabled) and the failover delay.	`uplink`	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.
Set physical network uplink failover delay	Sets the amount of time between detection of a management-module physical uplink failure and failover to the standby management module.	`uplink -del` delay where delay is from 1 to 255 minutes, inclusive. If you enter a value outside this range, an error will be displayed. Command use restricted (see Commands and user authority).	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.
Enable physical uplink failover	Enables failover to the standby management module if the external physical network interface of the primary management module fails.	`uplink -on` Command use restricted (see Commands and user authority).	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.
Disable physical uplink failover	Disables failover to the standby management module if the external physical network interface of the primary management module fails.	`uplink -off` Command use restricted (see Commands and user authority).	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.

Example: To enable failover to the standby management module if the external network interface of the primary management module fails, while management module 1 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[1]> prompt, type

                  uplink -on

To set the uplink failover delay to 3 minutes, while management module 1 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[1]> prompt, type

                  uplink -del 3

To display the uplink failover configuration, while management module 1 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[1]> prompt, type

                  uplink

The following example shows the information that is returned from these three commands:

               system:mm[1]> uplink -on
OK
system:mm[1]> uplink -del 3
Uplink delay set to 3 minute(s).
OK
system:mm[1]> uplink
Failover on network uplink loss is enabled.
Uplink delay: 3 minute(s)
system:mm[1]>
