Link Fault Propagation Configuration:
-------------------------------------
Cisco Proprietary RPR Keep Alive
The keep alive mechanism for Cisco proprietary RPR POS interfaces sends keep-alive packets onto SPR
links connecting adjacent nodes. This mechanism protects against failures undetected by the
SONET/SDH layer. Keep alive is off by default.
With this feature enabled, the Cisco proprietary RPR POS port wraps when it fails to receive three
consecutive keep-alives.When a link is down due to an interruption in keep-alive reception, it raises a
critical LINK-KEEPALIVE alarm on SONET/SDH. The Cisco proprietary RPR POS port unwraps and
the alarm clears only after receiving ten consecutive keep-alive packets. Keep alive failures are not
dependant on cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors. Keep-alive is also supported on DRPRI for POS
interfaces. It is not supported on Gigabit EtherChannel (GEC).
Keep alive detection takes more than 50 ms. This time is added to the standard under 50 ms switching
time of SONET/SDH to result in a total recovery time of greater than 50 ms.

Configuring Cisco Proprietary RPR Keep Alive

When enabling the keep-alive feature on a Cisco proprietary RPR that is carrying traffic, it is highly
Caution
recommended that users first set the underlying POS circuit to OOS,DSBLD in SONET
Locked,disabled in SDH, which will wrap the Cisco proprietary RPR in the standard sub-50 msec. You
can then enable the keep alive and put the circuit back to IS state in SONET or Unlocked in SDH. This
ensures that traffic experiences a sub-50 msec hit when Cisco proprietary RPR keep alives are enabled.
Note The Cisco proprietary RPR keep alive requires the spr or multiprotocol label switching
microcode image for the ML-Series card.
