Cisco Systems PA-POS-1OC3, PA-POS-2OC3 manual Configuring APS, Basic APS Configuration

Chapter 4 Configuring the PA-POS-1OC3

Customizing the Configuration

Step 3 To disable SONET payload scrambling, use the no pos scramble-atmcommand.

Router(config)# interface pos 3/0

Router(config-if)# no pos scramble-atm

Configuring APS

The following example shows the configuration of automatic protection switching (APS) on router A and router B. (See Figure 4-1.) In this example, router A is configured with the working interface, and router B is configured with the protect interface. If the working interface on router A becomes unavailable, the connection will automatically switch over to the protect interface on router B.

Add Drop Multiplexer (ADM)

On router A, which contains the working interface, use the following configuration:

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# interface loopback 1

Router(config-if)#ip address 10.7.7.7 255.255.255.0

Router(config)# interface pos 2/0/0

Router(config-if)# aps group 1

Router(config-if)# aps working 1

Router(config-if)# pos ais-shut

Router(config-if)# end

Router#

On router B, which contains the protect interface, use the following configuration:

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# interface loopback 2

Router(config-if)#ip address 10.7.7.6 255.255.255.0

Router(config)# interface pos 3/0/0

Router(config-if)# aps group 1

Router(config-if)#aps protect 1 10.7.7.7

Router(config-if)# pos ais-shut

Router(config-if)# end

Router#

Note The loopback interface is used as the interconnect. The aps group command is used even when a single protect group is configured.

To verify the configuration or to determine if a switchover has occurred, use the show aps command.
