To provision two STP systems in a mated pair configuration, you must create a linkset for the communication path between the systems and make sure that the link type is set to a C-link. If you provision such a link, the Mate STP attribute on the STP screen is automatically configured, and appears as read-only (refer to Configuring STP Attributes). Load sharing of traffic is possible over routes that are assigned the same, lowest cost.
Note
This section applies if the DSC - SP2000 Platform is provisioned as an STP.
To configure a C-link
- From the Main Menu, click MTP3.
- Click the required NA.
- Click Linksets.
- Click the required linkset.
- Using the Link Type drop-down list, select C_LINK.
- Click Continue.
- Click Continue.
The C-link is established on one of the systems in the mated pair configuration. To complete the mated pair provisioning, perform steps 1 to 7 on the other system.
