Cisco ATM Services (AXSM) Configuration Guide and Command Reference for MGX Switches
Release 5.2, Part Number OL-6484-01 Rev. C0, September 2005
Chapter 2 Preparing AXSM Lines for Communication
General AXSM Provisioning Procedures
In the following example, 1+1 APS redundancy is assigned to two lines on the same card:
M8950_DC.5.AXSM.a > addapsln 9.2.1 9.2.2 1
Step 4 To display a list of all the APS lines on an AXSM card, enter the dspapslns command on the active
AXSM card.
Step 5 To display information on a specific APS line, enter the dspapsln <slot.bay.line> command on the active
AXSM card.
Refer to the “Managing Redundant APS Lines” section in the Cisco MGX 8800/8900 Series
Configuration Guide, Release 5.2 for more details
Adding Intercard APS Lines
Use the following procedure to establish redundancy between two lines between different cards.
Note For intercard APS to operate properly, an APS connector must be installed between redundant AXSM/A,
AXSM/B, AXSM-E, and AXSM-16-155-XG cards. APS functionality is built directly into the
AXSM-4-2488CH-XG, AXSM-1-9953-XG, and AXSM-8-622-XG cards. For more information in the
APS connector and how to install it, refer to the Cisco MGX 8800/8900 Hardware Installation Guide,
Releases 2 - 5.2.
Note The APS connector that fits into an MGX 8850 (PXM45) switch is different from the APS connector that
fits into an MGX 8950 switch. Refer to the Cisco MGX 8800/8900 Hardware Installation Guide,
Releases 2 - 5.2 to ensure that you have the correct APS connector installed.
Step 1 Establish a configuration session using a user name with GROUP1_GP privileges or higher.
Step 2 If you have not done so already, add card redundancy as described in the Cisco MGX 8800/8900 Series
Configuration Guide, Release 5.2.
Step 3 If you have not done so already, bring up the working line as described in “Bringing Up Lines.”
Step 4 Enter the dspapsbkplane command on both the standby and active cards to verify that the APS
connector is installed properly.
Note This command can show different values for each of the two cards, which indicates that the APS
connector is seated properly on one card, but not on the other.
Step 5 Enter the addapsln command as follows:
addapsln < workingIndex > < protectIndex > < archmode >
Replace <workingIndex> with the location of the working line using the format slot.bay.line. Replace
<protectIndex> with the location of the protection line, using the same format.
Note For intercard redundancy, the working index and protection index must specify the same line
numbers on different cards. Also, the working line index must identify a line on the primary card.
