Provisioning Steps - ADTRAN Total Access 5000 Deployment Manual

One of the advantages of configuring the Bonding Groups as depicted in this example is
related to "traffic prioritization". Traffic prioritization is used to establish different priority
levels for traffic going to different bonding groups. If BG 1 has an assigned priority of "5", and
goes offline, the EFM Protection Module will take over the traffic for that module. If however,
BG 2 has a priority of "10" and it goes offline, the EFM Protection Module will switch to that
bonding group and drop traffic going to BG1. When this happens, only 1/4
to the customer's NCTEs would be lost.

Provisioning Steps

To enable EFM Bonding Protection, complete the following procedure:
1. From the Enable prompt, type configure terminal , and press E
2. From the Global Configuration prompt, type protection-group <shelf/group> ,
3. From the Protection‐Group Configuration prompt, type add protect-module
4. From the Protection‐Group Configuration prompt, type add working-module
5. Repeat step 4 to add all needed slots to the protection group.
6. By default, all slots in the group are at level 0, the lowest priority in the group. The first

This option is used to set the amount of time that the EFM Protection module will
continue to protect traffic after an access module that was down has been returned to
service. Once the access module is back in service for the time indicated (1 to 20 minutes),
and the revertive setting is enabled, the EFM Protection module relinquishes the traffic
back to the access module.
