Foundry Switch and Router Installation and Configuration Guide

6 - 28

December 2000

In this configuration, the ADM sends identical traffic through the working interface on BigIronA and the protect 
interface on BigIronB.  If the working interface malfunctions (that is, experiences high bit error ratios (BERs), 
significant signal degradation, or signal failure) or is taken down manually, the protect interface automatically 
takes over.

The following commands configure the working interface on BigIronA:

NOTE:

Foundry Networks recommends that you configure the working interface prior to configuring the protect 

interface, so that the protect interface does not inadvertently become the working interface.

BigIronA(config)# interface loopback 1

BigIronA(config-lbif-1)# ip address 10.0.0.1/24

BigIronA(config-lbif-1)# exit

BigIronA(config)# interface pos 2/1

BigIronA(config-posif-2/1)# aps working 1

BigIronA(config-posif-2/1)# exit

Syntax: 

aps working <circuit-number>

The 

aps working

 command establishes this interface as the working interface in circuit 1.  This working interface 

corresponds to a protect interface on the BigIronB.

The following commands configure the protect interface on BigIronB:

BigIronB(config)# interface loopback 2

BigIronB(config-lbif-2)# ip address 10.0.0.2/24

BigIronB(config-lbif-2)# exit

BigIronB(config)# interface pos 3/1

BigIronB(config-posif-3/1)# aps group 1

BigIronB(config-posif-3/1)# aps protect 1 10.0.0.1

BigIronB(config-posif-3/1)# exit

Syntax: 

aps protect <circuit-number> <ip-addr>

The 

aps protect

 command specifies the circuit this interface is protecting, as well as the IP address of the router  

where the working interface resides.  This is normally the loopback address of the router.  If the device is a switch, 
this is the management IP address.

Multi-Group APS Configuration

A router can have more than one protect or working interface.  To configure more than one protect or working 
interface on a router, you assign each interface to a group using the 

aps group

 command.  Figure 6.8 illustrates a 

configuration with two APS working/protect circuit pairs.
