PoS Commands
create aps
create aps <group#>
Description
Creates an APS group with the specified group number.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
You specify the
group#
parameter, which is an integer in the range [1-65535]. The
group#
is used to
identify the APS group. An APS group includes one working line and one protection line. The working
line and protection line can reside on the same BlackDiamond switch or two different BlackDiamond
switches. The group numbers must be unique across all BlackDiamond switches that are cooperating to
provide the APS function. The group numbers must also be used in a consistent manner across
BlackDiamond switches. For example, if the working line is assigned to
group#
1 on BlackDiamond #1,
and the associated protection line resides on BlackDiamond #2, then the protection line must also be
assigned to group #1 on BlackDiamond #2. The
group#
is used to identify the partner (in other words,
working or protection) line in Ethernet messages exchanged by BlackDiamond switches that are
cooperating to provide the APS function.
Example
The following command example creates APS group 1001 on the BlackDiamond switch:
create aps 1001
