Configuring SAPs on APS-protected ports

Overview

You can use APS-protected ports to create SAPs for services. The SAP list of a service creation form displays the APS-group SONET channels with all other SONET channels, but uses a different port ID format. An example of an APS group port ID is Channel aps-1.sts3-1. To create a SAP that uses an APS group, you must first configure the SONET channels in the APS group.
