VSX: Member Power Failure

The intent here is to showcase a complete member failure scenario where the spine-01 switch is completely down.

The following is a visualization of the powered down spine-01:

The following is expected in this scenario:

  • After disconnecting the power supply from one member the other member should be able to detect the member is down and continue a normal operation without any problems.
  • If traffic was originally flowing through the member that was shut down, a small percentage of packets may be dropped. A sub second value is expected during this event.
  • When restoring the power, the hashing needs to be recalculated and some packets may be dropped during this event as well. A sub second value is expected during this event.
