disable eaps

disable eaps {name}

Description

Disables the EAPS (Extreme Automatic Protection Switching) function for a named domain or for an entire switch.

Syntax Description

name Specifies the name of an EAPS domain.

Default

Disabled for the entire switch.

Usage Guidelines

To prevent loops in the network, the switch displays by default a warning message and prompts you to disable EAPS for a specific domain or the entire switch. When prompted, do one of the following:
  • Enter y to disable EAPS for a specific domain or the entire switch.

  • Enter n or press [Return] to cancel this action.

If you have considerable knowledge and experience with EAPS, you might find the EAPS loop protection warning messages unnecessary. For more information, see the configure eaps config-warnings off.

Example

The following command disables the EAPS function for entire switch:

disable eaps

The switch displays the following warning message and prompts you to confirm this action:

WARNING: Disabling EAPS on the switch could cause a loop in the network! Are you sure you want to disable EAPS? (y/n) Enter y to disable EAPS on the switch. Enter n to cancel this action.

The following command disables the EAPS function for the domain eaps-1:

disable eaps eaps-1

The switch displays the following warning message and prompts you to confirm this action:

WARNING: Disabling specific EAPS domain could cause a loop in the network!
Are you sure you want to disable this specific EAPS domain? (y/n)
Enter y to disable the EAPS function for the specified domain. Enter n to cancel this action.
