interface, when a link goes down. As fallback trigger leads to

 

re-propagation of protocol PDUs to the links based on the state

 

of the links, this may be enabled if re-propagation of protocol

 

PDUs is required for immediate restoration of peer protocol

 

state on uplink devices. If such a treatment is not required and

 

Protocol time out may only be triggered for re-propagation,

 

Fallback trigger should be disabled.

Description

 

 

 

 

Interface Index

This specifies the interface index used for the Redundancy Aggregator

 

type of interfaces. Valid Value is aggr-0

 

 

Reverse Distribution

It denotes whether reverse distribution filtering is to be enforced for

 

traffic in the receiving direction, when both the links are active, for this

 

aggregator interface. If duplicate packets are expected on the redundant

 

links (if uplink aggregating device is layer2 switch) Reverse distribution

 

filtering may be enabled. But if there is no chance of such duplicate

 

packets or the duplicate packets need not have a special handling

 

reverse distribution filtering may be disabled.
