• A backup for a physical port
• A frame relay PVC.
Modifying a backup for a Physical Port
To modify a backup service for a physical port:
1. Enter the bsmodify command, followed by the index of the Backup service, followed by
<return>. An example is shown below:
/Interface/backup % bsm 1 <return>
A screen similar to that shown below will display:
Modify configuration for Backup Service Index 1
1) Description : Backup 1
2) Admin Status { (E)nabled, (D)isabled } : Enabled
Primary Type : Physical Port
Slot : 2
Port : 1
Backup Type : PPP Peer
Peer ID : 5
5) Startup Timer Value { Time in Seconds after
System Startup to wait

before activating
Backup } : 300
6) Activate Timer Value { Time in Seconds after
Primary Failure to
activate Backup } : 10
7) Restore Timer Value { Time in Seconds after
Primary restoral to
disable Backup } : 10
(save/quit/cancel)
:
The command works in a manner similar to the bsadd command, except the parameters
that define the backup service may not be changed. These parameters are the:
• index
• primary type
• primary type slot, port, and dlci
• backup type, and
• peer ID.
Only the description and startup, activate, and restore timer fields may be modified.
2. Once you are satisfied with the values, enter the save command, followed by <return>, as
shown below:
: save <return>
