MA5680T Configuration File Backup and Recovery

Hello,

1- To understand simply, a link aggregation corresponds to an upper layer device, Smart link corresponds to dual uplink, two upper layer devices, dual home.

2- The database can be backed up, and when the problem is restored, the database is imported faster than the activation configuration file. It is recommended that both the database and configuration files be backed up.

Thanks

Dear firend,

1- The link redundancy of the uplink port, two ways, one link aggregation, and one Smart, what are the differences. How are they configured as well?

Configuring the Smart Link

protect-group

The protect-group command is used to set the protection group (PG) of upstream ports. The PG of upstream ports includes a working port and a protection port. In the normal state, the working port carries services. If the link of the working port is faulty, the system switches services from the working port to the protection port to ensure the normal service transmission and provide the protection to the upstream link.

Example

Assume the following configurations: The MA5600T/MA5603T/MA5608T implements dual uplinks through the GIU board, upstream ports 0/19/0 and 0/19/1 on the GIU board are added as members of smart link protection group 0, port 0/19/0 functions as the working port, port 0/19/1 functions as the protection port, the working mode is the load balancing mode, where,

To perform these configurations and enable the protection group function, do as follows:

huawei(config)#protect-group 0 protect-target eth-nni-port workmode smart-link

huawei(config-protect-group-0)#protect-group member port 0/19/0 role work

huawei(config-protect-group-0)#protect-group member port 0/19/1 role protect

huawei(config-protect-group-0)#protect-group enable

huawei(config-protect-group-0)#quit

Configuring Ethernet Link Aggregation

link-aggregation

The link-aggregation command is used to create an Ethernet link aggregation group (LAG) and specify the master port in the group. Ethernet link aggregation means that two or more Ethernet ports of the same type are bound as a logical port. It improves link bandwidth without a hardware upgrade and effectively hardens link reliability using a link backup mechanism.

Example

Assume the following configurations: The MA5600T/MA5603T/MA5608T transmits services upstream using the GIU board, upstream ports 0/19/0 and 0/19/1 on the same GIU board are configured in an upstream port LAG, packets are distributed to the LAG member ports according to the source MAC address, and the working mode is LACP static aggregation. To perform these configurations, run the following commands: 

huawei(config)#link-aggregation 0/19 0-1 ingress workmode lacp-static

huawei(config)#display link-aggregation all                                     

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------     

  Master port  Link aggregation mode  Port NUM  Work mode  Max link number      

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------     

  0/19/0       ingress                       2  lacp-static              -      

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------     

  Total: 1 link aggregation(s)   

2- When backing up, do you back up database files?  

You can back up configuration files or database files during backup.

Of course, both files can be backed up at the same time. This depends on the NMS settings.

Thanks！
