Chapter 23 Configuring Pseudowire
Configuring Pseudowire
Configuring a Backup Peer
A backup peer provides a redundant pseudowire (PW) connection in the case that the primary PW loses
connection; if the primary PW goes down, the Cisco MWR 2941 diverts traffic to the backup PW. Follow
these steps to configure a backup peer.
Command Purpose
Step 1
enable
Example:
Router> enable
Enables privileged EXEC mode.

Step 3
Router(config)# backup peer
peer-router-ip-address vcid
[pw-class pw-class name]
Defines the address and VC of the backup peer.
Step 4
Router(config)# backup delay
enable-delay {disable-delay |
never}
Specifies the delay before the router switches pseudowire traffic to the
backup peer VC.
Where:
• enable-delay—Time before the backup PW takes over for the
primary PW.

the backup PW.
• never—Disables switching from the backup PW to the primary PW.
