Disabling Interfaces that Have WAN Reroute Enabled
Question How do I ensure that WAN Reroute does not try to automatically enable
an alternate interface that is on an adapter about to be removed?
Answer
1
Access the command line interface (the * prompt).
2
Type talk 5 and press Enter twice to reach the + (monitoring)
prompt.
3
Type disable slot slot# or disable interface# for each interface on
the adapter. For example:
+ disable slot 4
Interface 4 is enabled as a WAN Reroute alternate circuit and should be
disabled as an alternate circuit if you will be removing the adapter
Do you want to disable WAN Reroute on this interface? (Yes, No): [No] Yes
Interface 4 has been disabled as a WAN Reroute alternate circuit
(adapter is removed and replaced)
Enabling WAN Reroute after You Have Disabled it
Question How do I enable WAN Reroute to automatically enable an alternate
interface that is on an adapter that has be replaced?
Answer
1
Access the command line interface (the * prompt).
2
Type talk 5 and press Enter twice to reach the
+
(monitoring)
prompt.
3
Type enable slot slot# to start a self-test for each interface on the
adapter
or type test interface# for each interface that you want to
bring up.
If you start a self-test for an alternate interface and the self-test is
successful, the alternate interface will remain up even though it
may not be needed to back-up a primary interface. If this
happens, you can issue the talk 5 disable
interface# command to
put the alternate interface back into the standby (disabled) state.
The following is a sample:
+ enable slot 4
Interface 4 is configured as a WAN Reroute alternate circuit.
Do you want to enable WAN Reroute on this interface? (Yes, No):[No] Yes
Interface 4 is enabled as a WAN Reroute alternate circuit.
Are you sure that you want to test this interface? (Yes, No): [No] Yes
