Creating and Deleting an APS Group

An APS group includes one working line and one protection line. The working line and
protection line can reside on the same BlackDiamond switch or on two different
BlackDiamond switches. The group is identified by a unique number.
To create an APS group, use the following command:
create aps <group#>
The parameter is an integer in the range from 1 through 65535 that identifies the
group#
APS group to be created. The APS group numbers must be unique across all
BlackDiamond switches that are cooperating to provide the APS function. The group
numbers must also be used in a consistent manner across BlackDiamond switches. For
example, if the working line is assigned to group #1 on BlackDiamond #1, and the
associated protection line resides on BlackDiamond #2, the protection line must also be
assigned to group #1 on BlackDiamond #2. The is used to identify the partner
group#
line, which can be either the working line or the protection line, in Ethernet messages
exchanged by BlackDiamond switches that are cooperating to provide the APS function.
The following command example creates APS group 1001 on the BlackDiamond switch:
create aps 1001
To delete an APS group, use the following command:
delete aps <group#>
The parameter is an integer in the range from 1 to 65535 that identifies the APS
group#
group to be deleted.
The following command example deletes APS group 1001:
delete aps 1001
