As of LCOS 10.80, DPS switchover supports an option that allows line priorities to be taken into account for Dynamic Path Selection.
To configure this feature in LANconfig, go to .
- Regard LB prio
- This parameter controls the behavior of the DPS session
switchover.
Note: If the table is reset to the default, the row "AGGRESSIVE-SWITCHOVER" is set to "Yes" and "SOFT-SWITCHOVER" is set to "No".Possible values:
- Yes
- Sessions also switch between interfaces with the same score, provided that the prioritization specified in table Policy-Assignments favors one of them. Appropriately, the output tables and will only show the highest-priority interface as "Preferred" in such a case. This is also the interface that all sessions switch over to, with a speed and in the corresponding number of intermediate steps according to the other parameters in the corresponding switchover profile.
- Note: This setting is useful in the following scenario, an an example: LTE or 5G is used together with VDSL. In some locations, LTE/ 5G is significantly better than VDSL. For cost reasons, however, DSL should be used first instead of LTE/5G, since this should only be used as a booster. This works for example with the priorities of the load balancer. With the default behavior, however, the switchover does not switch back from the bad line to the better one.
- Note: This is the default for new entries.
- No
- The behavior of the DPS session switchover is that it is only performed if another line is actually better (better score) than the line currently used by the session. Not taken into account is the prioritization that can be entered into the load balancer policy assignments. For this reason there are no switch-overs between interfaces with identical policy scores.
- Note: This is the default for entries from before LCOS 10.80.
