Modification
Usage Guidelines
If the secondary route processor is in ROMMON mode, it becomes the primary route processor but continues in the ROMMON mode, meaning that the IOS software does not automatically open.
The force-failover main-cpu command causes the main processor functions of the switch to change
to the secondary route processor, if one is installed. If the command is executed when only one route processor is installed, the force-failover main-cpu command is ignored and an error message indicating this condition appears.
![]() |
Caution Any unsaved configuration and all the SVC connections in the former primary route processor are lost after the failover is complete. Only PVC connections are preserved during failover. |
If the new primary route processor does not have the same configuration as the previous primary route processor, functionality provided by the additional resources in the former primary route processor is lost after the failover. For example, if the new primary route processor does not have a network clock module installed and the old primary did, network clock functionality will not be available after the switchover.
Examples
The following example shows how to make the secondary route processor the primary.
Switch# redundancy force-failover main-cpu

Usage Guidelines
Normally this command is not required because whenever you exit configuration mode (either using cntrl-Z or end), the running configuration is updated on the secondary processor. Similarly, the startup configuration is updated whenever you issue the write memory command. Use the redundancy manual-sync (Catalyst 8540 MSR) command if you see an error and want to manually force a configuration update.

Command History
12.0(3c)W5(9) New command
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
Two unique preferred slots must be specified. If one of the preferred slots selected is not a currently active switch card, you are asked if the system should change the active switch cards to the preferred switch cards. If such a switchover occurs, all the active connections in the system are reinitialized. If you wish to continue, then the preferred switch cards become active and the other switch card becomes the standby. This configuration remains in effect until one of the active switch cards is removed. The preferred switch card configuration is preserved across route processor switchovers but not when the system is power cycled or when both route processors are reloaded to ROM monitor mode.
Examples
The following example shows how to change the preferred active slots to slots 5 and 6.
Cougar# redundancy preferred-switch-card-slots 5 6 One of the switch cards selected is not currently active. This command will cause the switch cards to reinitialize and all active connections will be reinitialized... Do you want to continue?

Usage Guidelines
It is safest to have the route processor module in RMON monitor mode before removing it from the chassis. If the switch is running IOS, you can accomplish this using the reload command unless the switch is configured to automatically boot IOS again. To ensure that the route processor is in RMON monitor mode, use the redundancy prepare-for-cpu-removal (Catalyst 8540 MSR). After issuing this command the route processor will go to ROM monitor mode and stay there even if the system is configured to automatically boot IOS. At this point it is safe to remove the route processor module from the chassis.
![]() |
Note Be sure to issue the redundancy prepare-for-cpu-removal (Catalyst 8540 MSR) command after connecting to the console port of the route processor module to be removed. If the system has a Y cable, then the Y cable must be removed and a local connection to the route processor being removed must be obtained before issuing the command. Always issue the redundancy prepare-for-cpu-removal (Catalyst 8540 MSR) command on a route processor that is in IOS mode, even if it is the secondary route processor. |
Examples
The following example shows how to prepare a route processor for removal by putting it into ROM monitor mode.
Switch# redundancy prepare-for-cpu-removal This command will cause this CPU to go to the rom monitor through a forced crash. After this cpu goes to the rom monitor prompt, it is safe to remove it from the chassis Do you want to continue?[confirm]yPlease DO NOT REBOOT this cpu before removing it rommon 7 >

Command History
12.0(1a)W5(5b) New command
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
This command causes nonvolatile change to the controller you select. It also resets the selected controller, which causes active connections and configurations to be lost.
If you reprogram a currently-running controller or switch card, power-cycle the switch router after the reprogram completes to make the newly downloaded image active. If you do not perform a power-cycle, the controller continues to run the older image. For secondary controllers or port adapters, you need not perform a power-cycle.
![]() |
Caution Do not power-cycle the switch router during a reprogram operation because damage can occur to the controller you are reprogramming. If you power-cycle the switch router while reprogramming is in progress, you also might be unable to boot the switch router after the reprogram is complete. |
Examples
The following example shows how to reprogram the image on the route processor in slot 3.
Switch# reprogram cpu_3_10.exo 3

Command
Description
To configure the period of time that PNNI polls resource management to update the values of the interface metrics and attributes, use the resource-poll-interval ATM router PNNI configuration command. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.
resource-poll-interval seconds
Syntax Description
seconds Specifies the interval, in seconds, at which the values of the interface metrics and attributes are updated.
Defaults
5 seconds
Command Modes
ATM router PNNI configuration
Command History
11.2(5) New command
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
The maximum allowable poll interval is 300 seconds. Using this value impacts the number of self-generated PTSEs created by the switch. A larger resource-poll-interval can generate a smaller number of PTSE updates, as PNNI polls the interface resource information less frequently. A large resource-poll-interval is desirable when reducing the number of self-generated PTSEs caused by interface traffic fluctuation.
Lowering the default allows PNNI to poll the resource manager (for resource information) at a higher frequency. This allows PNNI to track resource information faster, but it costs more in processing time and should be adjusted only when needed.
For more information, refer to the ATM Switch Router Software Configuration Guide.
Examples
The following example shows how to change the period of time the interface metrics and attributes are updated using the resource-poll-interval ATM router PNNI configuration command.
Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# atm router pnni Switch(config-atm-router)# resource-poll-interval 30

Description
To enter static source-route information into the routing information field (RIF) cache, use the rif global configuration command. To remove an entry from the cache, use the no form of this command.
rif mac-addr [rif-string]
Syntax Description
mac-addr MAC address of the RIF entry. rif-string Series of 4-digit hexadecimal numbers separated by a period (.). This RIF string is inserted into the packets sent to the specified MAC address.
Defaults

Command History
11.3(3a) New command
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
If a Token Ring host does not support the use of IEEE 802.2 TEST or XID datagrams as explorer packets, you might need to add static information to the RIF cache.
Using the command rif mac-address without any other arguments puts an entry into the RIF cache indicating that packets for this MAC address do not have RIF information.
Do not configure a static RIF with any of the all rings type codes. Doing so causes traffic for the configured host to appear on more than one ring and leads to unnecessary congestion.
Examples
The following example shows inserting a RIF cache entry with MAC address 1000.5A12.3456 and RIF 0630.0081.0090.
Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# rif 1000.5A12.3456 0630.0081.0090

A directed IEEE TEST command is sent to the destination MAC address. If a response is received in the time specified by rif validate-time, the entry is refreshed and is considered valid. Otherwise, the entry is removed from the cache. To prevent sending too many TEST commands, any entry that has been refreshed in less than 70 seconds is considered valid.
Validation is triggered when any of the follows occurs:

Description
To execute a command remotely on a remote rsh host, use the rsh privileged EXEC command.
rsh {ip-address | host} [/user username] line
Syntax Description
ip-address IP address of the remote host on which to execute the rsh command. Either the IP address or the host name is required. host Name of the remote host on which to execute the command. Either the host name or the IP address is required. username Remote username. line Required parameter to be executed remotely.
Defaults
If you do not specify the /user keyword and argument, the switch router sends a default remote username. As the default value of the remote username, the switch software sends the username associated with the current TTY process if that name is valid. For example, if the user is connected to the switch router through Telnet and the user was authenticated through the username command, the switch router software sends that username as the remote username. If the TTY username is invalid, the switch router software uses the switch router host name as both the remote and local usernames.

Usage Guidelines
Use the rsh command to execute commands remotely. The host on which you remotely execute the command must support the rsh protocol, and the .rhosts files on the rsh host must include an entry that permits you to remotely execute commands on that host.
For security reasons, the switch software does not default to a remote login if no command is specified. Instead, the switch router provides Telnet and connect services that you can use rather than rsh.
Examples
The following command specifies that user rusty attempts to remotely execute the UNIX ls command with the -a argument on the remote host mysys.cisco.com. The command output resulting from the remote execution follows the command example.
