A redundant pseudowire can act as a backup connection between PE routers and CE devices, maintaining Layer 2 circuit and VPLS services after certain types of failures. This feature can help improve the reliability of certain types of networks (metro for example) where a single point of failure could interrupt service for multiple customers. Redundant pseudowires cannot reduce traffic loss to zero. However, they provide a way to gracefully recover from pseudowire failures in such a way that service can be restarted within a known time limit.
For an overview of how redundant pseudowires work, see Redundant Pseudowires for Layer 2 Circuits and VPLS.
To configure pseudowire redundancy for Layer 2 circuits and VPLS, complete the procedures in the following sections:
