Creating and Configuring the Backbone EAPS Protected VLANs

  1. Create the EAPS protected VLAN for the backbone domain.
  2. Configure the 802.1q tag and ports for the protected VLANs.

    Because this VLAN is only used for transit routing, there are no other ports besides the ring ports.

  3. Configure the protected VLAN as part of the EAPS domain. Do this configuration on both the core and aggregate switches.

    Core-Switch#1 protected VLAN configuration:

    * CORE-SWITCH#1.8 # create vlan backbone
    * CORE-SWITCH#1.9 # configure vlan backbone tag 3000
    * CORE-SWITCH#1.10 # configure vlan backbone add port 2:1,2:4 tagged
    * CORE-SWITCH#1.11 # configure eaps e5-domain add protect vlan backbone

    Core-Switch#2 protected VLAN configuration:

    * CORE-SWITCH#2.8 # create vlan backbone
    * CORE-SWITCH#2.9 # configure vlan backbone tag 3000
    * CORE-SWITCH#2.10 # configure vlan backbone add port 2:1,2:4 tagged
    * CORE-SWITCH#2.11 # configure eaps e5-domain add protect vlan backbone

    Agg-Switch#1 protected VLAN configuration:

    * AGG-SWITCH#1.7 # create vlan backbone
    * AGG-SWITCH#1.8 # configure vlan backbone tag 3000
    * AGG-SWITCH#1.9 # configure vlan backbone add port 2:4,2:6 tagged
    * AGG-SWITCH#1.10 # configure eaps e5-domain add protect vlan backbone

    Agg-Switch#2 protected VLAN configuration:

    * AGG-SWITCH#2.7 # create vlan backbone
    * AGG-SWITCH#2.8 # configure vlan backbone tag 3000
    * AGG-SWITCH#2.9 # configure vlan backbone add port 2:4,2:6 tagged
    * AGG-SWITCH#2.10 # configure eaps e5-domain add protect vlan backbone
