Enable Cluster Tracking on CEP Interfaces

By default, EFA enables reload-delay configuration on all CEP interfaces. Reload-delay and cluster-tracking configurations are mutually exclusive.

When cluster tracking is enabled, an interface can track the state of an MCT (multi-chassis tunnel) cluster and divert traffic to alternative paths when a cluster is down for reasons such as maintenance mode.

To enable cluster tracking on CEP (cluster edge port) interfaces, you must remove the reload-delay configuration. For more information about reload-delay, see CEP Reload Delay.

  1. Remove the reload-delay configuration on an interface. 
    efa inventory device execute-cli --ip 10.18.120.187 
--command "Interface ethernet 0/1, no reload-delay enable" --config
  2. Configure cluster tracking. 
    efa inventory device execute-cli --ip 10.18.120.187 
--command "Interface ethernet 0/1, cluster-track" --config
