Enabling and Disabling EAPS on the Switch

We recommend that you keep the loop protection warning messages enabled. If you have considerable knowledge and experience with EAPS (Extreme Automatic Protection Switching), you might find the EAPS loop protection warning messages unnecessary.

To enable the EAPS function for the entire switch, use the following command:
enable eaps
To disable the EAPS function for the entire switch, use the following command:
disable eaps
If you enter the command to disable EAPS, the default switch configuration displays the following warning message and prompts you to confirm the command:
```
WARNING: Disabling EAPS on the switch could cause a loop in the network! Are you sure you want to disable EAPS? (y/n)
```
When prompted, do one of the following:
1. Enter y to disable EAPS for the entire switch.
2. Enter n or press [Return] to cancel the command.

For more information see, Disabling EAPS Loop Protection Warning Messages.
