Table 2-2. Redundancy Protocol PDU Flow Diagram for SOS PDUs
Router A PDU Router B
Router A, currently the primary router,
sends Primary Hello PDUs at periodic
intervals.
Hello PDU
Role = Primary
---------------->
Router B, currently a secondary router,
receives the periodic Primary Hello
PDUs and updates the redundancy
group database.
Router B restarts the Primary OK Timer.
Receives the periodic Hello PDUs and
updates the redundancy group data-
base.
Hello PDU
Role = Secondary
<----------------
Router B sends out periodic Hello
PDUs.
Router A detects local partial failures; for
example, an important interface has
failed. Router A knows that
Router B is a better primary router, so
Router A plans to change its role to
secondary.
Router A issues an SOS PDU to inform
all members of the redundancy group of
its intention to change out of the primary
role.
SOS PDU
Role = Primary
---------------->
Router B, the best secondary router,
receives the SOS PDU. Router B
confirms that it is the best secondary
router by sending the SOS Reply PDU.
Router A, the current primary router,
receives the SOS Reply PDU with its OK
indication from Router B.
SOS Reply PDU
Role = Secondary
<----------------
Router B sends the SOS Reply PDU,
indicating that it is ready to be the new
primary router, and that it is OK for the
current primary router to change out of
the primary role.
Router A sends an SOS Primary Good-
bye PDU, then changes out of the
primary role.
SOS Primary
Goodbye PDU
Role = Primary
---------------->
Router B receives the SOS Primary
Goodbye PDU.
Router A may not receive this PDU, but
all other members of the redundancy
group do. This message tells the other
secondary members to delay bidding for
the new primary role until after the bid-
ding timer expires and they detect that
there is no primary router.
SOS New Primary
PDU
Role = Secondary
<----------------
Router B sends the SOS New Primary
PDU to indicate that it is changing roles
to become the new primary router.
Router B changes its role to become the
new primary router.
Router A may not receive this PDU. All
other members of the redundancy group
do, and update their redundancy group
databases.
Hello PDU
Role = Primary
<----------------
Router B has finished with the role
change and is now the new primary
router. Router B sends its first periodic
Primary Hello PDU.
