Example: APS for a Layer 2 Circuit Configuration

Figure 1: APS for a Layer 2 Circuit Topology Diagram

APS for a Layer 2 Circuit Topology Diagram

Figure 1 shows that APS is configured on a PE router to protect a PE-CE link in a Layer 2 circuit. This example shows only the PE router configuration and assumes that you have preconfigured a full Layer 2 circuit topology. For more information about configuring Layer 2 circuits, see Junos Layer 2 Circuits Feature Guide.

On Router PE1, configure ATM2 IQ interface at-0/0/1 as an APS protect circuit and ATM2 IQ interface at-1/3/1 as a working circuit. Also, configure the working circuit interface as the primary interface for your Layer 2 circuit and configure the protect circuit interface as the protected interface for your Layer 2 circuit.

Verifying Your Work

To verify proper operation of APS for Layer 2 circuits, use the following command:

show l2circuit connections

After you configure the Layer 2 circuit and the APS working and protect circuits, you can see which APS circuit is active for the Layer 2 circuit with the show l2circuit connections command. The first local interface that is displayed is always the active circuit. If the second local interface field indicates Protect-Inactive, the working circuit is active, as shown in this output sample.

Conversely, if the first local interface is marked with the Protect-Active indicator, and the second local interface indicates Primary-Inactive, the protect circuit is active, as shown here:
