Configuring LIM and LIM Port 
Redundancy

You can configure LIM and LIM port redundancy for more than one kind of LIM in a 
single Stinger chassis. For example, a single Stinger unit with both asymmetric digital 
subscriber line (ADSL) and symmetric digital subscriber line (SDSL) LIMs can be 
configured with a spare ADSL LIM and a spare SDSL LIM. 

Overview of LIM and LIM port redundancy

A spare LIM can replace an entire failed LIM or a single failed port. LIM redundancy 
transfers all logical connections from a failed LIM to the spare LIM. LIM port 
redundancy transfers the logical connection from a particular failed port on a LIM to 
the corresponding port on the spare LIM. The remaining ports on the spare LIM 
remain available to provide additional LIM port redundancy.

Each LIM to be used as a spare must have either a path selector module (PSM) or 
copper loop test (CLT) module plugged in behind or next to it in place of a line 
protection module (LPM). All other LIMs must use an LPM with port redundancy 
(LPM-PR) for line protection.

Note

Some older Stinger units are equipped with an interface redundancy module 

(IRM) located behind the spare LIM, and LPMs with redundancy (LPM-R) located 
behind the LIMs to be backed up. In this case, additional configuration steps might be 
needed. For more information, see “LIM redundancy with IRMs and LPM-Rs” on 
page 2-6.

Configuring LIM redundancy

LIM redundancy provides a one-to-one backup function for LIMs. Each type of LIM 
to be backed up requires a spare LIM with a PSM or CLT module plugged in behind or 
next to it. For example, a Stinger FS unit configured with 14 ADSL 24-port  LIMs can 
be set up with the following module pairs:

■

13 pairs each consisting of an ADSL LIM and an LPM-RP 

■

1 pair consisting of an ADSL LIM and a PSM or CLT module
