Clarifications

This section contains clarifications for specific attributes.

Attribute Name	Note
Cluster Synchronization	Starting from R81.10.15, you can select the Synchronization mode: Sync Enabled – All kernel tables are synced, enabling seamless failover between members. Sync Disabled – Kernel tables are not synced between the cluster members. This may lead to disrupted connections. Optimized Sync – Syncs most kernel tables but not heavy kernel tables. In this mode, failover results in closed connections. Note – VPN tunnels persist following failover. The benefit of not synchronizing tables is improved performance. The downside is that upon failover you may need to re-initiate connections. Switching to Sync Enabled or Optimized Sync mode requires a reboot of both cluster members.
All attributes, whose name starts with "DSL globals"	When all the ADSL standards are turned off in the Advanced Settings, and you can only connect using the VDSL2 standard, the VPI, the VCI, and the encapsulation options still appear, even though they are not used to open an Internet connection.
