Enabling Hitless Stacking Failover

Note: Hitless stacking failover is enabled by default in FastIron release 08.0.20 and later releases.

To enable hitless stacking failover, enter the following command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI: 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# hitless-failover enable

The command takes effect immediately. Hitless switchover is allowed, and in the event of a failover, the standby controller takes over the active role without reloading the stack.

Note: Use the no form of the hitless-failover enable command to disable hitless stacking failover once it has been enabled.
