To force the synchronization tag deployment to MC IPsec peers

Purpose

Each member of an MC IPsec group must have the same Synchronization Tag value in order for the group to be operationally up. If the value on a member NE is modified, for example, using a CLI, a mismatch exists and the NFM-P raises an alarm against each member NE.

Perform this procedure when the member NEs of an MC IPsec group have different Synchronization Tag values.

Steps
 

Choose Manage→Redundancy→Node Redundancy from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Node Redundancy form opens.


Choose MC IPsec Group (Multi-Chassis) from the drop-down menu and click Search. A list of MC IPsec groups is displayed.


Choose an MC IPsec group and click Properties. The MC IPsec Group (Edit) form opens.


Click Force Sync.

Note: If you modify the global Synchronization Tag parameter, you cannot force the synchronization using this procedure. You must click Apply or OK to deploy the value to the NEs.


Click Yes. The NFM-P deploys the Synchronization Tag to the member NEs of the MC IPsec group.


Close the MC IPsec Group (Edit) form.


Close the Manage Node Redundancy form.
