How Backup Lines, Pools, and Circuits Work Together
For each leased circuit that needs a backup circuit, you designate that circuit as a
primary circuit and assign it a backup pool ID. If the primary circuit fails, the
router activates the backup line to carry the backup circuit. If your network uses a
multiline or multilink primary, the backup line is activated when the last line in the
multiline or multilink bundle fails. You must first configure a leased circuit and a
backup pool before you can configure backup circuits.
Figure 1-9
shows how backup lines, pools, and circuits work together. The router
in San Diego has two leased lines, one going to a router in Phoenix and the other
to a router in San Francisco. The circuits for each of these destinations are
associated with Backup Pool 1. If either of these leased lines fails, the San Diego
router activates Backup Line 1 from Backup Pool 1 to continue routing traffic to
the destination.
Figure 1-9. Example of Backup Pools, Lines, and Circuits
You can assign the same backup pool ID to more than one primary circuit. If you
want only one backup line dedicated to a primary circuit, then you should
configure only one line in a pool and assign that pool exclusively to that circuit.
