This topic describes how to interpret the SBC Core highAvailabilityPort status for GR-HA port connections supporting ARP-based monitoring, in case additional actions are required.

The following highAvailabilityPort OOS reasons are described in this section:

  • A status of "noSignal" if there is an outage between the CE and its local switch
  • A status of "noRemoteSignal" if the outage is beyond the local switch.

Activated Network Connect Mode

admin@EMERALD> show table system haConfig
SERVER   LEADER
NAME     ELECTION  BOND MONITORING
------------------------------------
GARNET   enhanced  network-connect
EMERALD  enhanced  network-connect

Scenarios

  • Loss of connection between the server HA port and the local switch

    • The OOS Reason is "noSignal"
    • The other end of the same port shows the OOS Reason as "noRemoteResponse"
      Examples:

      Disconnected HA port eth0 from Active SBC (EMERALD)

  • A disconnection between switches
    • The OOS Reason is "noRemoteResponse"
      Example:

      admin@GARNET> show table system highAvailabilityPort status
                                                                NEGOTIATED

      GARNET   haPort1         00:10:6b:03:da:a3  169.254.88.3  speed10Gbps  noRemoteResponse
      GARNET   haPort2         00:10:6b:03:da:a3  169.254.88.4  speed10Gbps  na
      GARNET   bondingDevice0  00:10:6b:03:da:a3  169.254.88.1  unknown      na
      EMERALD  haPort1         00:10:6b:03:db:39  169.254.99.3  speed10Gbps  noRemoteResponse
      EMERALD  haPort2         00:10:6b:03:db:39  169.254.99.4  speed10Gbps  na
      EMERALD  bondingDevice0  00:10:6b:03:db:39  169.254.99.1  unknown      na
  • Both issues are faced
    • Physical disconnection to server HA port and in between switches, Initially it shows one server with "noSignal" and other with "noRemoteResponse" as OOS Reason. Once physical disconnection rectified, OOS Reason shows both port as "noRemoteResponse".
