PW Redundancy Configuration
This chapter contains configurations for Pseudowire Redundancy. It also provides an overview of Pseudowire concepts.
Overview
In a single-segment pseudowire (SS-PW) application, the PSN (packet switched network) layer usually provides protection for the PW. One way is by using an RSVP LSP with FRR (Fast Reroute) backup; another way is an end-to-end backup LSP (Label Switched Path). However, there are some applications where the backup PW terminates on a different target PE node, so PSN protection methods cannot protect against failure of either the target PE (provider edge) node or a remote Access Circuit (AC). It is also important to an operator that a particular PW is preferred, for example, the one with the least latency.
PW redundancy supports Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) PW and manual switchover between primary PW and secondary PW in MTU-s. In the case of PW applications, the PSN layer can provide the protection for PW. Occasionally, a TE (traffic-engineered) LSP signaled by RSVP-TE can be used as a PSN tunnel for a PW. In this scenario, TE can provide FRR to protect the end-to-end LSP in the PSN layer.
FRR-based protection schemes cannot protect against failure of PE nodes and access circuits. However, PW redundancy can protect against these failures. Multi-homed CE (customer edge) devices can be connect between two PE nodes through two access circuits to provide protection. In case of Hierarchical VPLS (HVPLS), the MTU-s can create spoke circuits at the PEs. Any one can be used to protect another.
Topology
The diagram depicts two multi-homed CE devices, CE1 and CE2, connected to two PE devices each, PE1 and PE3, and PE2 and PE4, respectively. In this scenario, multiple single-segment Ethernet pseudowires need to be signaled: PW1 between PE1 and PE2; PW2 between PE1 and PE4; PW3 between PE2 and PE3; and PW4 between PE3 and PE4.

MTU-s with Redundant Spoke Circuits
In this scenario, MTU-s has redundant spoke circuits PW1 and PW2 connected to PE1 and PE2, respectively. User should configure MTU-s so that one PW is Primary and the other as Secondary. With P1 designated as Primary and PW2 designated as Secondary, MTU-s announces that PW1 is in the Active mode and PW2 is in the Standby mode. If PW1 fails, MTU-s performs a switchover by announcing PW2 as Active and PW1 as Standby.

In the following topology diagram, VLAN pseudowires PW1, PW2, PW3 and PW4 are configured for VLAN-100 between PE1-PE3, PE1-PE4, PE2-PE3 and PE2-PE4 respectively. The VC-mode is configured as standby on the access interfaces of PE2 and PE4 so that PW1 is active and used for forwarding. All the other PWs will be in standby mode.
