Multirouter Automatic Protection Switching
Configuring MR-APS with Static Routes on Channelized Line Cards
To optionally configure MR-APS with static routes on channelized line cards, enter the following 
commands beginning in global configuration mode:
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router(config)# redundancy
Enters redundancy configuration mode, which allows you 
to associate two line cards as a redundant pair.
Step 2
Router(config-r)# associate slot slot-one 
mr-aps
Logically associates slots for APS processor redundancy.
To allow MR-APS to operate, you must associate a slot on 
the working interface of one router and with a 
corresponding protect interface on a second router. 
Step 3
Router(config-r)# exit
Exits redundancy configuration mode and returns to global 
configuration mode.
Step 4
Router(config)# ip route prefix mask 
{ip-address | interface-type interface-number 
[ip-address]} [distance] [name] [permanent] 
[tag tag] 
Configures a static IP address.
When configuring APS, we recommend that you specify the 
optional IP address of the interface to improve routing 
performance.
Step 5
Router(config)# controller SONET 
slot#/subslot#/port# 
Specifies the interface type and number. Enters controller 
configuration mode.
Step 6
Router(config-controller)# ip route static 
update immediate 
(Optional) Specifies that static routes will be added to the 
routing table immediately after the interface becomes 
active.
Step 7
Router(config-controller)# carrier-delay 
[seconds | msec seconds]
Sets the carrier delay timer value in seconds or 
milliseconds.
This command allows you to filter link outages and to not 
report them as a link down event if they occur before the 
carrier delay timer expires. In MR-APS, system 
performance can be enhanced if link-down event messages 
are kept to a minimum.
Step 8
Router(config-controller)# aps group 
group-number
Permits more than one APS protect and working interface 
to be supported on a router.
Step 9
Router(config-controller)# aps working 
circuit-number
Configures an interface as a working interface.
Step 10
Router(config-controller)# exit
Exits controller configuration mode and returns to global 
configuration mode.
Step 11
Repeat steps 1 through 8 on the second router to configure the protect interface. Substitute the appropriate slot 
numbers, IP addresses, interface types, and interface numbers. After you complete step 8, go to step 12.
Step 12
Router(config-controller)# aps protect 
circuit-number ip-address
Configures an interface as a protect interface.
The ip-address argument specifies the IP address of the 
router that has the working interface.
Step 13
Router(config-controller)# exit
Exits controller configuration mode and returns to global 
configuration mode.
