Redundancy via PSN only

shows a topology which protects TDM traffic carried over PSN against
failures in MPW-1 hardware, and in the transmission paths over PSN.
Figure
1-7. MPW-1 Redundancy – Hardware and Transmission Path Protection via PSN
To illustrate the flexibility of the redundancy schemes available for the MPW-1,
hardware redundancy is used only at the West side:
At the West side, two MPW-1 are used, and the redundancy is configured on
internal DS1 ports located on different MPW-1 modules
The East side uses a single MPW-1, and therefore supports only transmission
path redundancy. For this mode, redundancy is configured on internal DS1
ports located on the same MPW-1.
To enable hardware redundancy at the East side, it is necessary to install two
MPW-1 modules, same as at the West side.
When MPW-1 external Fast Ethernet ports are directly connected to the PSN, true
hardware redundancy is always possible. When MPW-1 connection to the PSN is
provided through bridge ports on other modules, true hardware redundancy is
available only when redundancy is also enabled on the other modules. For
example, when the connection is made via the GbE ports of CL.1/155GbE
modules, redundancy for the CL.1/155GbE PSN interface must also be enabled.
For each redundancy pair, the user must first configure the internal DS1 port that
will serve as the primary port: the configuration prepared for the primary internal
DS1 port is copied to the other port of the pair. In addition, it is necessary to
configure pseudowires from each internal DS1 port in the redundancy pair to the
desired destinations. Make sure to enable OAM, which is essential to proper
operation of the redundancy feature (see the
OAM Protocol
section).
The pseudowires serving the standby (offline) internal DS1 port carry only OAM
packets, which require relatively little bandwidth. When a problem causes
switching to standby, the traffic is switched to the standby pseudowires, and the
offline pseudowires attempt to transmit OAM packets.
Redundancy switching (
flipping
) is always revertive: after the failure is corrected,
the primary port becomes again the active port.
Upon turn-on, the first port to enter normal operation is selected as the active
(online) port of the pair. Thus, if this port is not the primary port, when the
primary port starts normal operation flipping occurs and the primary port is
selected as the active port.
