Virtual Cluster Control Plane Fundamentals
Basic Principles
Control session establishment process
When starting a virtual cluster, you need to first create the control plane of the cluster.
- For a two-chassis cluster, the chassis with the smallest ID is preferentially selected as the master chassis by default, and the other is the backup chassis.
- If the backup chassis does not receive response packets from the master chassis within the wait time, the backup chassis becomes the master one.
Control plane reliability process
In normal cases, two control links are available between chassis to implement protection. The control plane's communication is not interrupted so long as either of the two control links is normal.
