Configuring Pseudowire Redundancy
CEoP SPAs support the L2VPN Pseudowire Redundancy feature, which provides backup service for the ATM
and CEM pseudowires. Configuring a Pseudowire Redundancy is an optional task. The L2VPN Pseudowire
Redundancy feature enables the network to detect a failure and reroute the Layer 2 (L2) service to another
endpoint that can continue to provide the service. This feature provides the ability to recover from a failure
of either the remote PE router or the link between the PE and CE routers.
Configure pseudowire redundancy by configuring two pseudowires for an ATM interface, a primary pseudowire
and a backup (standby) pseudowire. If the primary pseudowire fails, the router uses the backup pseudowire
in its place. When the primary pseudowire becomes operational again, the backup pseudowire is stopped and
the router resumes the use of the primary pseudowire.
The following figure shows an example of pseudowire redundancy.

The following is a summary of the steps to configure pseudowire redundancy on the SPA-2CHT3-CE-ATM.
You must configure the backup pseudowire such that it connects to a router that is different from the one
