Scenario 3: Synchronizing CMMs

When changes have been saved to the primary CMM certified directory, these changes need to be propa-

gated to the secondary CMM using the copy flash-synchro command.

The following diagram illustrates the process that occurs when synchronizing CMMs.

Synchronizing CMMs

The copy flash-synchro command (described in “Synchronizing the Primary and Secondary CMMs” on

page 4-18) can be issued on its own, or in conjunction with the copy running certified command

(described in “Synchronizing the Primary and Secondary CMMs” on page 4-18).

Note. It is important to certify the CMMs as soon as the validity of the software is established. Unsynchro-

nized CMMs are at risk of mismanaging data traffic due to incompatibilities in different versions of switch

software.

1. A copy flash-

synchro com-

mand is issued on

the primary

CMM and the

running-configu-

ration is copied to

the certified direc-

tory.

2. Additionally,

the running-con-

figuration is cop-

ied to the certified

directory on the

secondary CMM.
