Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task
IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator
for assistance.
Use the channel remote command to assign working or protect channels that are physically located in a
different router.
Use the channel local command to assign channels in the local router.
The IP address of the remote router is required only if a working channel configured as the protect router
contacts all working routers.
Specifying a remote protect channel is optional. If you do not specify a remote protect channel, the default
value of 0.0.0.0 is used. The protect router is always the one that contacts the working router. The working
router replies to the protect router using the source address extracted from the incoming messages as the
destination address. If an address other than 0.0.0.0 (the default value) is specified, the working router always
uses that address when sending messages to the protect router.
