rpl

Configures an Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP) Ring Protection Link (RPL).

Syntax

rpl {vlanvlan_id [ethernet slot/port |port-channel number ] }

no rpl {vlanvlan_id [ethernet slot/port |port-channel number ] }

Command Default

No RPL is configured by default.

Parameters

vlan_id: Specifies the VLAN ID of the ERP left or right ring interface and interface number. Range is from 1 through 4090.
ethernet slot/port: Specifies an Ethernet interface.
port-channel number: Specifies a port-channel.

Modes

ERP configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

Each ring needs to have one RPL owner for each ring. The RPL owner‘s role is to block traffic on one port when no failure exists in the ring. The blocked port will be the left interface that you initially configured. After configuring the ERN to be the RPL owner, by means of the rpl-owner command, you next must set the RPL, by means of the rpl command.

You must configure the VLAN and configure the Ethernet or port-channel interfaces as switchport, then add the VLAN to the interfaces in either trunk or access mode. This is a prerequisite to configuring the rpl command.

Use the no form of this command to delete the configuration.

Examples

The following example configures an RPL.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# erp 1
device(config-erp-1)# rpl vlan 5 ethernet 0/1
