Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 12.1.

Description

(M320 routers with Channelized OC3/STM1 Circuit Emulation PIC with SFP only) Reduce the Automatic Protection Switching (APS) switchover time in Layer 2 circuits.

  • Configuring this statement reduces the APS switchover time only when the Layer 2 circuit encapsulation type for the interface receiving traffic from a Layer 2 circuit neighbor is SAToP.
  • When the fast-aps-switch statement is configured in revertive APS mode, you must configure an appropriate value for revert time to achieve reduction in APS switchover time.
  • To prevent the logical interfaces in the data path from being shut down, configure appropriate hold-time values on all the interfaces in the data path that support TDM.
  • The fast-aps-switch statement cannot be configured when the APS annex-b option is configured.
  • The interfaces that have the fast-aps-switch statement configured cannot be used in virtual private LAN service (VPLS) environments.
