Supervisor Synchronization 

In order to operate in an Active-Standby configuration, the two SPVs must be 
synchronized. 
•  If the SPVs are not synchronized, one is Active and the other Halted. 

In this case you will need to synchronize them manually. See “Synchronizing 
the Supervisor Modules Manually“ on page 12. 

•  Only in Active-Standby configuration do both SPV fabrics participate in 

switching/routing 

•  An SPV which was Active stays Active after a chassis reset 
One of the SPVs can operate as Standby automatically only if both of the following 
conditions are fulfilled: 
•  The current chassis is the last one in which you inserted this SPV 
•  The current running SW images are the same version 

If the SPVs are not synchronized, you need to synchronize them manually using the 
Avaya P460 CLI. 

Synchronization can be required for a complete synchronization also if the 

SPVs are in an Active-Standby configuration. For example, when the SPVs boot 
with the same SW but from different banks
