Yes MA5800 Support Active/Standby mode

Introduction
In this feature, two control boards, one working as the active and the other working as the standby, are configured on an MA5800 to back up each other. When the two control boards work in load sharing mode, active and standby control boards concurrently forward service packets, and redundancy backup improves reliability of services as well as doubling bandwidth and enhancing data forwarding performance.

NOTE:
The MA5800 configured with two control boards does not support the active/standby mode.

Yes , MA5800 support mode active/standby,, but the traffic is load sharing

NO, The MA5800 does not support the active/standby mode.

The MA5800 configured with two control boards does not support the active/standby mode

The MA5800 configured with two control boards uses active/standby mode for the control plane and load sharing mode for the forwarding plane.

On the control plane, the two control boards work in the active/standby mode. The CPU on the active control board manages the system and processes control protocol packets while the CPU on the standby control board is in the standby state.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />

· On the forwarding plane, the active and standby control boards share loads. Both boards forward data.

Two control boards, one working as the active and the other working as the standby, are configured on an MA5800 to back up each other. When the two control boards work in load sharing mode, active and standby control boards concurrently forward service packets, and redundancy backup improves reliability of services as well as doubling bandwidth and enhancing data forwarding performance.

The redundancy backup of control boards benefits customers with the following capabilities:

·         Quick switching between active and standby control boards

·         Uninterrupted data forwarding during active/standby switchover

·         Concurrent upgrade of the active and standby control boards

 

·
