However, automatic synchronization is enabled by default on the RSP. Therefore, unless you have
disabled automatic synchronization, or this is the first time you are installing a second RSP, a manual
update is not required. For more information about automatic synchronization, see the
Both RSPs Contain the Same Configuration Files" section on page
When you install a second RSP for the first time, you must immediately configure it using the slave
Caution
sync config command. This ensures that the new standby RSP is configured consistently with the
active RSP. Failure to do so might result in an unconfigured standby RSP taking control of the router
when the active RSP fails, rendering the network inoperable.
For additional information about using the slave sync config command, see the
Maintaining HSA Operation" section on page
refer to the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide and the Cisco IOS
Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference publications.
To manually set environment variables on the standby RSP, use the following commands beginning in
global configuration mode:
Command
Step 1
Router(config)# boot system
Step 2
Router(config)# boot bootldr file-url
Step 3
Router(config)# boot config file-url
Step 4
Router(config)# end
Step 5
Router# copy running-config startup-config
Step 6
Router# show bootvar
Step 7
Router# configure terminal
Step 8
Router(config)# slave sync config
Automatically Setting Environment Variables on the Standby RSP
With automatic synchronization turned on, when you set the active RSP environment variables and save
them, the system automatically saves the same environment variables to the standby's startup
configuration.

uses at startup and stores it in the BOOTLDR variable in the
current running configuration
(Optional) Specifies the location of the configuration file that the
router uses at startup and stores it in the CONFIG_FILE
environment variable in the current running configuration.
Exits global configuration mode and returns you to privileged

Saves the current running configuration settings to the startup
configuration. This also puts the information under the RSP's

Verifies the environment variable settings.
Enters global configuration mode.
Saves the same environment variables to the standby RSP by
manually synchronizing their configuration files.
