Chapter 1 Configuration of Backup Center

To enhance network’s reliability, VRP provides perfect backup functions through the

use of Backup Center.

z Interfaces that can be backed up are called main interfaces . Every physical

interface or sub-interface on a router can serve as a main interface. A logica l

channel such as X.25 on any interface or a virtual circuit of a f rame relay can also

serve as a main interface.

z Any physical interface, virtual interface template, or a logical channel on an

interface other than the Ethernet interface of a router can serve as th e backup

interface of aother interface or logical channel.

z A main interf ace c an be pr ovided with m ultipl e bac k up interf aces; when th e m ain

interface gets faulty, backup interfaces can take over the main interface’s work in

an order based on their priority.

z Interfaces (such as ISDN BRI and ISDN PRI interfaces) that have multiple

physical channels can provide backups to multiple main interfaces b y using Dialer

Map.

Follow the steps below to configure VRP backup center.

z Enter the configuration mode of the main interface to be backed up.

z Specif y the backup interface and priority used by the main interface.

z Set t he delay time for the switchover between main and backup interfaces.

z Set st ate-judging conditions when the main interface is a logical cha nnel.

z Set t he state-judging conditions when the backup interface is a logical cha nnel.

z Conf igure routes for main and backup interfaces.

On a Quidway router, not only every physical interface or sub-interfaces of the router,

but every virtual circuit of X.25 or frame relay can work as a main interface. If the main

interface is a physical interface or sub-interface, please use t he following commands in

global configuration mode to enter the configuration mode of the interf ace.

Table LC-1-1 Enter the configuration mode of the main interface

Operation Command

Enter the configuration mode of the main interface interface interface-type interface-number

Here, interface-type specifies the interface type of the physical interface or sub-

interface, interface-number specifies the interface number of the physical in terface or

sub-interface. Combined, they specify a physical interface or sub-interf ace.
