To create an SC APS IMA or MLPPP bundle
Purpose
Perform this procedure to create an APS bundle using IMA or MLPPP links on one NE. Consider the following when you add a DS0 channel that is a member of an APS group to an APS bundle:
-
An APS channel can be a member of an APS bundle only, not of an IMA or multilink PPP bundle.
-
All members of a working bundle must belong to a working channel of the same APS group.
-
All members of a protection bundle must belong to a protection channel of the same APS group.
-
You must create the working bundle before you can add an APS member to the APS bundle. If the member has a protection port, you must create the protection bundle before you can add the member to the APS bundle.
-
You cannot delete the working port member of an APS bundle until you remove the member from the APS bundle.
The rules for adding a member to a bundle that is part of an APS bundle also apply to adding a member to a non-APS protected multilink bundle. See To create an MLPPP bundle and To create an IMA group bundle for more information.
The following restrictions apply when adding a DS0 channel to an IMA bundle:
