neighbor
Syntax neighbor ip-address
no neighbor
Context config>port>aps
Description This command specifies the neighbor's IP address in an MC-APS group. When the value of
the neighbor IP address is set to 0.0.0.0, or not set, this implies that the APS group is
configured as an SC-APS group.
The route to the neighbor must not traverse the MC-APS member (working or protection)
circuits. It is recommended that the neighbor IP address configured be on a shared network
between the routers that own the working and protection circuits. The node should be
connected with a direct interface to ensure optimum failover time.
By default, no neighbor address is configured and both the working and protection circuits
should be configured on the same router as an SC-APS group.
Default 0.0.0.0
Parameters ip-address — specifies the neighbor's IP address for MC-APS.
Values ipv4-address: a.b.c.d
ipv6-address: x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x (eight 16-bit pieces)
x:x:x:x:x:x:d.d.d.d
x: [0 to FFFF]H
d: [0 to 255]D
protect-circuit
Syntax protect-circuit port-id
no protect-circuit
Context config>port>aps
Description This command configures a physical port that will act as the protection circuit for this APS
group.
The protection circuit port must contain only the default configuration and cannot belong to
another APS group. The protection circuit port must be of the same type as the working circuit
(SONET/SDH) for the APS group; if it is not, the command will return an error.
A protection circuit can only be added if the working circuit already exists. The protection
circuit must be removed from the configuration before the working circuit can be removed.
When a port is a protection circuit of an APS group, the configuration options available in the
config>port port-id>sonet-sdh context are not allowed for that port unless they are in the
following exception list:
