An LAG in 1:1 backup mode is configured on SwitchA and SwitchB. Ethernet CFM is
configured between SwitchA and SwitchC, SwitchA and SwitchD, SwitchB and SwitchC, and
SwitchB and SwitchD. The Ethernet CFM modules are associated with Eth 0/0/1 and Eth
0/0/2 respectively on SwitchA and SwitchB.
When a connectivity fault occurs on the link between SwitchA and SwitchC, the Ethernet CFM
module detects the fault and reports the fault to the OAM management module. The OAM
management module blocks and then unlocks Eth 0/0/1. Then the LAG detects the fault and
switches data to the inactive link. The process of handling faults on other links is similar to that
on the link between SwitchA and SwitchC. This implements protection switching within 50 ms
to achieve carrier-class reliability.
