7.3.4 Configuring failover
Configure failover for the A10E/A28E as below.
Step
Configuration
Description
1
Alpha-A28E#config
Enter global configuration mode.
2
Alpha-
A28E(config)#link-
state-tracking group
group-number
{ upstream cfm-mepid
mep-id }
Create the failover group and enable failover.
3
Alpha-
A28E(config)#interfa
ce port port-id
Enter physical layer interface configuration mode.
4
Alpha-A28E(config-
port)#link-state-
tracking group
group-number
{ downstream |
upstream }
Configure the failover group of the interface and
interface type. One interface can only belong to
one failover group and can be either the uplink
interface or downlink interface.
When the failover group is configured with CFM
network or G.8031 network in uplink, the
interface can be set to downlink interface only.

One failover group can contain several uplink interfaces. Failover will not be
performed when at least one uplink interface is Up. Only when all uplink interfaces
are Down, failover occurs.

In global configuration mode, use the no link-state-tracking group group-number
command to disable failover. The failover group will be deleted if there is no
interface in it.

Use the no link-state-tracking group command to delete an interface from the
failover group in physical layer interface configuration mode. If there is no other
interface and failover is disabled, the failover group will be deleted when the
interface is deleted.
7.3.5 Checking configurations
Use the following commands to check configuration results.
Step
Configuration
Description
1
Alpha-A28E#show link-state-
tracking group group-number
Show configurations and status of the
failover group.
2
Alpha-A28E#show link-admin-
status port port-list
Show interface Up/Down status
configured on each functional module
on the interface.
