Default

By default, if an ERPS ring instance is created with a user-defined ring ID, the control MAC used by ring instance is auto (01:19:A7:00:00:ring-id).

# configure  erps Ring2 control-mac auto

The following example configures the control MAC of an ERPS ring instance created without a user-defined ring ID:

# configure  erps Ring1 control-mac auto
