Redundant SIBs Overview

Inspect redundant SIBs to ensure that they provide the switching function to the destination FPCs.

Redundant SIBs are multiple SIBs that are installed in the M320 router, T320 router, T640 router, T1600 router, TX Matrix router, and TX Matrix Plus router. In the event of a failure, one of the SIBs acts as backup for the failed SIB. For more information, see SIB Location and Redundancy.

Table 1 shows the SIB characteristics for the M320 router, T320 router, T640 router, T1600 router, TX Matrix router, and TX Matrix Plus router.
