Configuring MR-APS on Unchannelized Line Cards
To configure MR-APS on unchannelized line cards, enter the following commands beginning in global
configuration mode.
Command
Step 1
Router(config)# redundancy
Step 2
Router(config-r)# associate slot slot-one
mr-aps
Step 3
Router(config-r)# exit
Step 4
Router(config)# interface type number
Step 5
Router(config-if)# aps group group-number
Step 6
Router(config-if)# aps working circuit-number
Step 7
Router(config-if)# exit
Step 8
Repeat steps 1 through 5 on the second router to configure the protect interface. Substitute the appropriate slot

Multirouter Automatic Protection Switching
Purpose
Enters redundancy configuration mode, which allows you
to associate two line cards as a redundant pair.
Logically associates slots for APS processor redundancy.
To allow MR-APS to operate, you must associate a slot on
the working interface of one router and with a
corresponding protect interface on a second router.
Exits redundancy configuration mode and returns to global
configuration mode.
Specifies the interface type and number. Enters interface
configuration mode.
Permits more than one APS protect and working interface
to be supported on a router.
Configures an interface as a working interface.
Exits interface configuration mode and returns to global
configuration mode.
