Usage Guidelines

Note

Note

If you use the same name across categories (for example, STPD and EAPS names), you must specify the identifying keyword as well as the actual name.

To configure and enable an EAPS, complete the following steps:
  1. Create EAPS domain and assign the name.
  2. Configure the control VLAN.
  3. Configure the protected VLAN(s).
  4. Add the control VLAN to EAPS domain.
  5. Add the protected VLAN(s) to EAPS domain.
  6. Configure EAPS mode, master or transit.
  7. Configure EAPS port, secondary and primary.
  8. If desired, configure timeout and action for failtimer expiration*.
  9. If desired, configure the hello time for the health-check packets*.
  10. Enable EAPS for the entire switch.
  11. If desired, enable Fast Convergence*.
  12. Enable EAPS for the specified domain.

Although you can enable EAPS prior to configuring these steps, the EAPS domain(s) does not run until you configure these parameters.

* These steps can be configured at any time, even after the EAPS domains are running.

You must enable EAPS globally and specifically for each named EAPS domain.

Example

The following command enables the EAPS function for entire switch:
enable eaps
The following command enables the EAPS function for the domain eaps-1:
enable eaps eaps-1
