M4300 Intelligent Edge Series Fully Managed Stackable Switches Term Definition Last Startup Reason The type of activation that caused the software to start the last time: • "Power-On" means that the switch rebooted. A reboot can be caused by a power cycle or an administrative "Reload" command. • "Administrative Move" means that someone issued the movemanagement command for the stand-by manager to take over. • "Warm-Auto-Restart" means that the primary management card restarted because of a failure, and the system executed a nonstop forwarding failover. • "Cold-Auto-Restart" means that the system switched from the active manager to the backup manager and was unable to maintain user data traffic. This is usually caused by multiple failures occurring in a short period. Time Since Last Restart Time The time since the current management unit became the active management unit. Restart in progress Indicates whether a restart is in progress. Warm Restart Ready Indicates whether the system is ready to perform a nonstop forwarding failover from the management unit to the backup unit. Copy of Running Configuration to Backup Unit: Status Indicates whether the running configuration on the backup unit includes all changes made on the management unit. Displays as Current or Stale. Time Since Last Copy The time when the running configuration was last copied from the management unit to the backup unit. Time Until Next Copy The number of seconds until the running configuration is copied to the backup unit. This line only appears when the running configuration on the backup unit is Stale. NSF Support (Per Unit Indicates whether a unit supports NSF. Status Parameter) initiate failover (for stack configuration) Use this command to force the backup unit to take over as the management unit and perform a "warm restart" of the stack. On a warm restart, the backup unit becomes the management unit without clearing its hardware tables (on a cold restart, hardware tables are cleared). Applications apply checkpointed data (that is, forwarded data) from the former management unit. The original management unit reboots. If the system is not ready for a warm restart, for example because no backup unit was elected or one or more members of the stack do not support nonstop forwarding, the command fails with a warning message. The movemanagement command (see movemanagement (Stack Global Config) on page 29) also transfers control from the current management unit. However, the hardware is cleared and all units reinitialize.
