For a single-chassis endpoint, a revert-time command is provided under the VPLS endpoint.
In a regular endpoint, the revert-time setting affects just the pseudowire defined as primary (precedence 0). For a failure of the primary pseudowire followed by restoration, the revert-timer is started. After it expires, the primary pseudowire takes the active role in the endpoint. This behavior does not apply for the case when both pseudowires are defined as secondary; that is, if the active secondary pseudowire fails and is restored, it stays in standby until a configuration change or a force command occurs.
In the MC-EP case, the revertive behavior is supported for pseudowire defined as primary (precedence 0). The following rules apply:
The revert-time setting under each individual endpoint control the behavior of the local primary pseudowire if one is configured under the local endpoint.
The secondary pseudowires behave as in the regular endpoint case.
