Creating and Configuring the Data Center EAPS Domain

  1. Create the backbone EAPS (Extreme Automatic Protection Switching) domains, configure the EAPS mode, and define the primary and secondary ports for each domain. Do this configuration on both core and aggregation switches.

    Core-Switch#1 EAPS configuration:

    * CORE-SWITCH#1.1 # create eaps e6-domain
    * CORE-SWITCH#1.2 # configure eaps e6-domain mode master
    * CORE-SWITCH#1.3 # configure eaps e6-domain primary port 4:1
    * CORE-SWITCH#1.4 # configure eaps e6-domain secondary port 4:2

    Data center-Switch#1 EAPS configuration:

    * DC-SWITCH#1.1 # create eaps e6-domain
    * DC-SWITCH#1.2 # configure eaps e6-domain mode transit
    * DC-SWITCH#1.3 # configure eaps e6-domain primary port 49
    * DC-SWITCH#1.4 # configure eaps e6-domain secondary port 50

    Datacenter -Switch#2 EAPS configuration:

    * DC-SWITCH#2.1 # create eaps e6-domain
    * DC-SWITCH#2.2 # configure eaps e6-domain mode transit
    * DC-SWITCH#2.3 # configure eaps e6-domain primary port 49
    * DC-SWITCH#2.4 # configure eaps e6-domain secondary port 50
