Backing Up a Frame Relay PVC
Adding a backup service for a frame relay PVC is basically the same as for a physical port.
The only differences are that you must specify Primary Type as Frame Relay, and you must
specify a DLCI number. To add a backup service for a frame relay PVC:
1. Enter the
bsadd command with no parameters, followed by <return>, as shown below:
/Interface/backup % bsa <return>
A screen similar to that shown below will be displayed:
Adding Backup Service Index : 2
1) Description : Backup 2
2) Admin Status { (E)nabled, (D)isabled } : Enabled
3) Primary Type { Physical Port (1),
Frame Relay PVC (2) } : Physical Port
30) Slot :
31) Port :
4) Backup Type { PPP Peer (1) } : PPP Peer
40) Peer ID :
5) Startup Timer Value { Time in Seconds after
System Startup to wait
for Primary to come up
before activating
Backup } : 300
6) Activate Timer Value { Time in Seconds after
Primary Failure to
activate Backup } : 10
7) Restore Timer Value { Time in Seconds after
Primary restoral to
disable Backup } : 10
(save/quit/cancel)
:
2. When you first enter the command, the next unique index is assigned automatically, a
default description is created (“Backup” followed by the created index number), and
defaults for primary type, backup type, and all backup timers are created (as shown
above).
To backup a frame relay PVC, first change the primary type. Whenever the primary type is
changed, the menu will be redisplayed, because different parameters are needed to define
the primary type. An example is shown below:]
