Table 69. NSF Summary
Field Description
Operational Status Indicates whether NSF is enabled on the chassis. NSF is enabled
by default.
Last Startup Reason The type of activation that caused the software to start the last
time. The possible values are as follows:
• Power On. The switch is rebooted. A power cycle or an
administrative reload command might caused this
• Cold Admin Move. The system resets all hardware tables
without a reboot and the application begins from a
pre-initialized state, but no data is retained from before the
failover.
• Warm Admin Move. The administrator issued a command for
the standby manager to take over.
• Auto Warm. The primary management card restarted due to a
failure, and the system executed a nonstop forwarding failover.
• Auto Cold. The system switched from the active manager to
the backup manager and could not maintain user data traffic.
This is usually caused by multiple failures occurring close
together.
