Stacking Dell PowerConnect 7000 Series Switches
NSF Re-convergence Timing
As mentioned in the previous section, NSF protects against failures by check-pointing information to a
standby unit. In an NSF-protected stack, the worst-case scenario is when the master unit fails. The
following statistics show representative re-convergence times of an NSF-enabled standby switch as
measured from the detection of failure. With NSF enabled, data plane forwarding continues non-stop
on the non-failed switches while the standby unit converges the control plane protocols using the
check-pointed information. The re-convergence times given below include re-establishing
communication with the upper layer protocol peers, synchronization of shared information with the
peer, and re-establishment of any data plane forwarding paths around the failed master unit.
