In multichassis LAG (MC-LAG)-based scenarios, this same PW_FWD_STDBY flag is used
to advertise to remote PE devices which attachment circuit (AC) is being used as the
active one. Upon arrival of this flag, the receiving PE device drops any pseudowire built
toward the router originating this state. As we can see, this behavior denotes a slightly
different semantic for the PW_FWD_STDBY flag. As a consequence, you can configure
the hot-standby-vc-on statement to control whether the pseudowire must be constructed
upon arrival of the PW_FWD_STDBY flag (in the hot-standby pseudowire scenario), or
simply destroy it (in the MC-LAG scenario).
How It Works
The solution uses logical tunnel (lt-) paired interfaces for stitching the Layer 2 and Layer
3 domains.
Figure 32 on page 625 shows a diagram depicting how pseudowire redundancy in a mobile
backhaul scenario works.
