To configure an AARP instance on an NE

Purpose

Application Assurance Redundancy Protocol (AARP) provides data-plane connectivity to dynamically maintain dual-homed AA subscriber traffic on the same ISA-AA for processing. An AARP instance is configured between dual-homed routers to establish connectivity with the same AARP instance number on each NE. See the 7750 SR Advanced Configuration Guide and 7750 SR Multiservice Integrated Service Adapter Guide for more information about AARP instances. See To add an AARP interface to an IES or a VPRN site for information about how to configure an AARP interface in an IES or VPRN service.

Steps
 
1 

Choose Manage→ISA Functions→ISA-AA from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage ISA-AA form opens.

2 

Click Create→AARP. The Select Network Elements form opens.

3 

Select a Network Element and click OK. The AARP (Create) form opens.

4 

Configure the required parameters.

  1. If the AARP instance endpoint is a SAP:

    1. Set the Peer Endpoint Type parameter to SAP.

    2. If the SAP has a name, click on the L3 Access Interface tab and choose the SAP. Otherwise, configure the SAP Terminating Port, SAP Encapsulation Type, SAP Outer Encapsulation Value, and SAP Inner Encapsulation Value parameters.

      The SAP Outer Encapsulation Value parameter is configurable when the SAP Encapsulation Type parameter is set to Dot1 Q:

      The SAP Inner Encapsulation Value parameter is configurable when the SAP Encapsulation Type parameter is set to Q in Q:

  2. If the AARP instance endpoint is a spoke SDP binding:

    1. Set the Peer Endpoint Type parameter to Spoke SDP Binding.

    2. If the spoke SDP binding has a name, click on Spoke SDP Bindings tab and choose the spoke SDP binding. Otherwise, configure the Spoke SDP Bind ID parameter.

5 

Click Apply.

6 

View the Operational Flag and Peer Operational Flag indicators to ensure that the configuration is correct.

7 

Modify the configuration, if required.

8 

Save your changes and close the forms.
