Once the standby unit comes back online, perform final checks to verify that unit redundancy has been
configured properly:
o
Check the port status on the standby unit.
o
Check the radio link status on the standby unit.
o
Verify that there is no Configuration Mismatch alarm. See
Changing the Configuration after Enabling Unit

Verify that no other alarms are raised on either unit.
Configuring Ethernet Interface Protection (CLI)
No special software configuration is required for Optical Splitter and Electrical Splitter modes.
For Line Protection mode, you must perform the following steps:
1.
Configure the GbE interfaces on the external switch in LACP mode. The external switch must support
LACP.
2.
Connect a GbE port on the external switch to a GbE interface on each of the PTP 820G units.
3.
Enable LACP on the GbE interfaces on the PTP 820G that are connected to the external switch:
a.
Go to interface view for the GbE interface.
b.
In interface view, enter the following command:
eth type eth [1/x]>interface-mode-set interface-mode LACP
