Understanding Redundant SIBs
Purpose Inspect redundant SIBs to ensure that they provide the switching function to the
destination FPCs.
What Are Redundant
SIBs
Redundant SIBs are multiple SIBs that are installed in the M320 router, T320 router,
and the T640 routing node. In the event of a failure, one of the SIBs acts as backup
for the failed SIB. For more information, see “SIB Location and Redundancy” on
page 545.
Table 116 shows the SIB characteristics for the M320 router, T320 router, and the
T640 routing node.
