Configuring LIM and LIM Port Redundancy
Configuring LIM redundancy
To activate automatic LIM redundancy for a particular LIM, you must set the
following two parameters:
■
In the
lim-sparing-config
profile for the spare LIM, set the following
active
parameter to
yes
:
auto-lim-sparing-config:lim-sparing-config
[slot number of backed-up LIM]:active
.
■
In the
lim-sparing-config
profile for the spare LIM, set the
sparing-mode
parameter to
automatic
.
For example, if you install a spare SDSL LIM in slot 15 of a Stinger FS unit and want
to activate automatic LIM redundancy for the SDSL LIMs in slots 1 through 7,
proceed as follows:
1
List the
auto-lim-sparing-config
profile for slot 1.
admin> list 1
[in LIM-SPARING-CONFIG/{ shelf-1 slot-15 0}
:auto-lim-sparing-config:lim-sparing-config[1]]
active = yes
error-averaging-period = 10
error-threshold = 100
up-down-threshold = 3
modem-failure-threshold = 12
Because the
Auto-LIM-Sparing-Config
subprofiles are numbered according to the
LIM slot numbers, the
list 1
command here lists the LIM-Sparing-Config
subprofile for the LIM in slot 1.
Note that the
active
parameter is set to
yes
. Because this is the default value for
all seven slots, you do not have to set it unless you have previously changed it.
2
Set the redundancy mode.
admin> list
[in LIM-SPARING-CONFIG/{ shelf-1 slot-15 0 }]
physical-address* = { shelf-1 slot-15 0 }
spare-slot-type = sdsl-atm-card
sparing-mode = inactive
spare-slot-number = slot-15
manually-spared-slot-number = any-slot
auto-lim-sparing-config = { [ { yes 10 100 3 12 } { yes 10}]}
admin> set sparing-mode = automatic
admin> write
LIM-SPARING-CONFIG/{ shelf-1 slot-15 0 } written
Assuming that the
active
parameters in the
lim-sparing-config
subprofiles for slots
2 through 7 are also set to the default, LIM redundancy is now activated for the SDSL
LIMs in slots 1 through 7.
LIM redundancy with IRMs and LPM-Rs
If you upgrade the software to TAOS 7.11.4 or later, a previously existing
LIM-Sparing-Config
profile is automatically converted to a redundancy profile indexed
to the spare LIM slot. Enter the
dir lim-sparing-config
command to verify that the
profile has been created.
