Information About ISG SSO and ISSU

High Availability for ISG Features

The SSO and ISSU feature provides high availability (HA) support for the following ISG features during a stateful switchover (SSO) or In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) event:


Feature	Description	Configuration Information
Absolute timeout (session timer)	Timer is restarted on the new standby Route Processor (RP). During bulk synchronization to the standby RP, the remaining timeout duration is sent to the standby RP and used while the feature is being installed.	“Configuring ISG Policies for Session Maintenance” module in this guide
Idle timeout (connection timer)	Timer is restarted on the new standby RP.	“Configuring ISG Policies for Session Maintenance” module in this guide
ISG accounting	Cumulative counters and accounting ID are checkpointed to the standby RP.	“Configuring ISG Accounting” module in this guide
ISG policer (dynamic rate limiting)	HA support was enabled for this feature.	“Configuring MQC Support for IP Sessions” module in this guide
Keepalive	Associated timers are restarted after the control plane switchover.	“Configuring ISG Policies for Session Maintenance” module in this guide
Layer 4 redirect	Layer 4 redirect includes the selected service group in its checkpoint data during the initial session and bulk synchronization. The standby RP uses the service group instead of selecting a new one.	“Redirecting Subscriber Traffic Using ISG Layer 4 Redirect” module in this guide
Port-bundle host key (PBHK)	PBHK includes the allocated bundle ID in its checkpoint data during the initial session and bulk synchronization. Upon session replay, the standby RP reserves the bundle ID instead of allocating a new one.	“Configuring ISG Port-Bundle Host Key” module in this guide
Traffic classes	ISG traffic classes are checkpointed to the standby RP and established during session replay.	“Configuring ISG Subscriber Services” module in this guide
