So I have attempted the below config:
l2vpn
pw-class test
encapsulation mpls
redundancy
initial-delay 120
!
!
backup disable never
!
xconnect group Xconns
p2p test
interface GigabitEthernet0/1/0/10
neighbor ipv4 1.1.1.1 pw-id 1
pw-class test
backup neighbor 2.2.2.2 pw-id 2
!
!
!
!
!The explanation of the command "initial-delay"

In my understanding "Initial delay before activating the redundant PW" means that when the primary PW goes down there will be a delay before activating the backup PW. After doing a lab on VIRL with IOSXRv and IOSXR9000v the backup PW comes up immediately when the primary is detected as down. Have i got this wrong?
After scouring cisco.com and the internet in general I found no documentation (???) elaborating what the command actually does. Can anyone shed some light?
