106 ● dlsw remote 3Com Router 5000 Family and Router 6000 Family
Command Reference
Description After the local peer is configured, the remote peer needs to be configured to create
the TCP tunnel. The router will keep attempting to create the TCP connection with
the remote router. A router can be configured with several remote peers so as to
create the TCP tunnel with several remote routers.
When creating a remote backup peer, note the following:
1. In order to create a remote backup peer at the backup-address argument, the
ip-address argument should be the IP address of the backup peer, and the
backup-peer
backup-address should be the IP address of the remote primary
peer with the TCP connection already being created. In other words, before
creating the remote backup peer connection, the user should ensure that the local
end has created the TCP connection with a remote primary peer. If the peer end
backup peer is created the same time the remote peer being first created, the
system will prompt the following information:
Primary peer ip address does not exist
This prompt indicates that the user should first create a remote primary peer before
creating the backup peer.
2. If the backup link still exists after the TCP connection of the primary link is
interrupted, the TCP link can be retained (use the display dlsw remote command
and a TCP connection can be found still exist) till the backup link linger minutes is
also timeout.
