Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Multiple PWs can be created in a VSI, every two PWs can form a protection group to protect each other.

You can create multiple PW protection groups for a VSI. After you add two PWs to a PW protection group, the two PWs will work in backup mode.

Prerequisites

The VSI ID has been configured.

Follow-up Procedure

After creating PW protection groups, configure the PW redundancy mode of each PW protection group, add PWs to these groups, and configure revertive switching policies for these groups.

Example

# Create a PW protection group named group1.
