tricks for multiple SONET APS groups on one chassis?

Jan 23, 2008 1 Replies

Are there any "gotchas" with doing multiple APS groups on a single 7609? I have one working APS group on the chassis, with both interfaces on a single card:



interface POS2/2 description WORK aps group 1 aps working 1 ! interface POS2/3 description PROTECT aps group 1 aps protect 1



I'm trying to add a new APS group 2:



interface POS 9/1 description new-WORK aps group 2 aps working 1 ! interface POS 2/1 description new-PROTECT aps protect 1


Failover of the new APS group is sort-of working; on cable pull, sometimes failover is fast, other times it takes as much as a minute to failover.



The two interfaces are being handed to a telco, although it's a different telco from that which is connected to the working APS group.



Software is 12.2(18)SXF7 .


I think the IP address you are using needs to be different for each APS group. Just add another loopback interface and use that for the second APS group.
