Configuring LIM and LIM Port Redundancy
Configuring LIM redundancy
The resulting system has 13 active ADSL LIMs and one spare that can be substituted
for any one of the 13 LIMs if a failure occurs.
In the same way, a unit can be equipped with the following module pairs:
■
6 SDSL LIM–LPM-RP pairs
■
1 SDSL–PSM pair or SDSL–CLT module pair
■
6 ADSL LIM–LPM-RP pairs
■
1 ADSL–PSM pair or ADSL–CLT module pair
The resulting system has six active SDSL LIMs and six active ADSL LIMs, with one
spare LIM of each type available in case of failure.
When the redundancy function is invoked, the primary LIM is deactivated. Its logical
connections are terminated and reestablished on the spare (secondary) LIM. When
the redundancy function is disabled, the spare LIM is deactivated. Its logical
connections are terminated and reestablished on the primary LIM.
Figure 2-1 illustrates LIM redundancy for a failed SDSL LIM in slot 4 of a Stinger FS
chassis. A Stinger LS chassis has its LPMs and PSMs or CLT modules next to its LIMs
rather than behind them as shown here.

Overview of the lim-sparing-config profile
When a Stinger unit is booted, it checks for the presence of PSMs or CLT modules. A
lim-sparing-config
profile is created for each PSM or CLT module detected. You
manage LIM redundancy by configuring the
lim-sparing-config
profile on a spare
LIM of the same type as the LIM to be backed up.
Following is a listing of a
lim-sparing-config
profile with all parameters set to their
default values:
