3.3.2 Specifying a Working Interface and a Protect Interface for an
APS Group
A working interface and a protection interface must be specified and added to an APS group
before other APS configurations are performed.
Context
An APS group includes one working interface and one protection interface. An APS group is
the smallest unit protected by APS. The communication messages between the working interface
and the protection interface are transmitted within the APS group. Specifying a working interface
and a protection interface and adding them to an APS group are the prerequisites for APS
operation. The working interface is connected to a working link and the protection interface is
connected to a protect link. When an APS group works in 1:1 mode, the working interface
transmits traffic, but the protection interface does not. The protection interface takes over traffic
after APS switching is performed. When an APS group works in 1+1 mode, both the working
and protection interfaces transmit traffic. The receiver receives traffic only from the working
link.
Perform the following steps on the routers where the APS working and protection interface are
located separately:
