module
: Module number. A physical layer interface module (PLIM) is always 0.
◦
port
: Physical port number of the interface.
•
If specifying a virtual interface, the number range varies, depending on interface type.
Use the
channel local
command to designate SONET physical ports as SONET APS channels in the current
APS group. Use the
channel remote
command to assign channels that are physically located in a different
router.
Preconfigured interfaces are supported.
If the protect channel is local, it must be assigned using a
channel
command
before
any of the working
channels are assigned. The reason is that having only a working channel assigned is a valid configuration for
a working router in a multirouter APS topology and further attempts to configure a local protect channel are
rejected.
The interface type must be a SONET controller.

The following example shows how to configure SONET 0/2/0/2 as a local protect channel:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)#
aps group 1
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-aps)#
channel 0 local SONET 0/2/0/2
