Backup Peers
A backup peer receives all DLSw-related broadcast frames for a given router or
network processor if the primary peer router is unavailable or cannot be reached
over a TCP connection. When you specify the Backup IP Address, DLSw places
the entry in the Backup Peer IP Table.
The Backup Peer IP Table parameters allow you to manage a router that you want
to use when the local router cannot connect to a primary DLSw peer. The
parameters are as follows:
• Backup IP Address
• Backup Peer Type
• Backup Max Up Time
• Backup Hold Down Time
• Backup Start Time
• Backup End Time
• Backup Delete
Simplifying the Peer IP Table
Bay Networks provides the following mechanisms for reducing the number of
required entries in the DLSw Peer IP Table:
• Broadcast peers
• Unconfigured peers
Broadcast Peers
It is not necessary to enter more than one peer per remote router into the Peer IP
Table. The entry representing the remote router is the broadcast peer for that
router. Only broadcast peers normally receive broadcast frames from another
router. However, all DLSw peers on a remote Bay Networks router can both
receive and respond to broadcast frames that the broadcast peer in that router
forwards internally.
