Set an Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP) bridge as a Ring Protection Link (RPL) owner.
The RPL owner is not set by default.
ERP configuration mode
Each ring needs to have one RPL owner. The RPL owner role is to block traffic on one port when no failure exists in the ring. 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.
This command is required to set one of the nodes in an ERP ring as the RPL owner.
Use the no form of this command to unset the RPL owner.
The following example sets the ERP bridge as an RPL owner.
device# configure terminal device(config)# erp 1 device(config-erp-1)# rpl-owner
