NimbostratusViprion Traffic Group
Hi
We have two viprion chassis at different datacentre in HA. Each chassis is connected to two different switches for redundancy. Each chassis is running three VCMP which is in HA between each other through its respective traffic group
we have a separate traffic group for each VCMP HA between two chassis and we are having some issues with traffic group management
When one of the redundant link on switch fails, the traffic group failover to the standby before the spanning tree moves the other redundant link on switch from Block to Forward. RSTP takes around 6 sec for this change.
only two VCMP is reacting this away, third vcmp's traffic group will not failover during spanning tree calculation
VCMP without problem shows below log:
HA Connection with peer 192.168.22.2:32768 for traffic-group /Common/traffic-group-1 lost.
VCMP with problem shows below log:
HA Connection with peer 192.168.22.18:32768 for traffic-group /Common/traffic-group-1 closing.
- what is the difference between two logs?
- Is there an confguration to control the traffic group failover timeout to prevent failover before spanning tree re-convergence.

When one of the redundant link on switch fails, the traffic group failover to the standby before the spanning tree moves the other redundant link on switch from Block to Forward. RSTP takes around 6 sec for this change.
if stp cannot be avoided, you may try to adjust failover.nettimeoutsec db variable.
