Figure 39-2 Pseudowire Redundancy Over FRR

Conditions for Switchover

If the primary path to the peer node goes down for active VC, the FRR changes to backup and the
VC remains active.
A VC switchover does not occur unless both primary and backup paths are down for active VC.
The standby VC does not go down until both primary and backup paths to the standby peer are down.
A VC switchover occurs when the peer node of the active VC reboots or when the access circuit goes
down.
If the peer node of active VC reboots when the standby VC is in backup state, the VC switchover
occurs immediately and the standby VC becomes active.
