Description

(M320 routers with Channelized OC3/STM1 Circuit Emulation PIC with SFP only, EX Series switches, and MX series routers with Channelized OC3/STM1 Circuit Emulation PIC with SFP only using container interfaces) Reduce the Automatic Protection Switching (APS) switchover time in Layer 2 circuits.

Note:

  • The fast APS switching feature is supported only within a single chassis on a MX series router using a container interface.

  • 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.
