Single Ring Configuration Tasks
To configure and enable an EAPS (Extreme Automatic Protection Switching) protected
ring, do the following on each ring node:
- Create an EAPS domain and assign a name to the domain as described in Creating and Deleting an EAPS Domain.
- Create and add the control VLAN (Virtual LAN) to the
domain as described in Adding the EAPS Control VLAN.
- Create and add the protected VLAN(s) to the domain as described in Adding Protected VLANs.
- Configure the EAPS mode (master or transit) for the switch in the domain as described in
Defining the Switch Mode (Master or Transit).
- Configure the EAPS ring ports, including the master primary and secondary ring ports, as
described in Configuring the Ring Ports.
- If desired, configure the polling timers and timeout action as
described in Configuring the Polling Timers and Timeout Action.
- Enable EAPS for the entire switch as described in Enabling and Disabling EAPS on the Switch.
- If desired, enable Fast Convergence as described in Enabling and Disabling Fast Convergence.
- Enable EAPS for the specified domain as described in Enabling and Disabling an EAPS Domain.
Note
If you configure a VMAN on a switch running EAPS, make
sure you configure the VMAN attributes on all of the switches that participate in the EAPS
domain. For more information about VMANs, see
