Usage Guidelines The main CPU submode is used to manually synchronize the configurations on the two supervisor
engines.
From the main CPU submode, use the auto-sync command to enable automatic synchronization of the
configuration files in NVRAM.
Note After you enter the main CPU submode, you can use the auto-sync command to automatically
synchronize the configuration between the primary and secondary route processors based on the primary
configuration. In addition, you can use all of the redundancy commands that are applicable to the main
CPU.
Examples This example shows how to reenable the default automatic synchronization feature using the auto-sync
standard command to synchronize the startup-config and config-register configuration of the active
supervisor engine with the standby supervisor engine. Updates for the boot variables are automatic and
cannot be disabled.
