device(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#master
device(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#ring-interface ethernet 1/1 ethernet 1/2
device(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#enable
These commands configure an MRP ring on VLAN 2. The ring ID is 1, the ring name is CustomerA,
and this node (this Brocade device) is the master for the ring. The ring interfaces are 1/1 and 1/2.
Interface 1/1 is the primary interface and 1/2 is the secondary interface. The primary interface will
initiate RHPs by default. The ring takes effect in VLAN 2.
device(config)#vlan 2
device(config-vlan-2)#metro-ring 1
device(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#name CustomerA
device(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#ring-interface ethernet 1/1 ethernet 1/2
device(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#enable
device(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#metro-ring 2
device(config-vlan-2-mrp-2)#name CustomerB
device(config-vlan-2-mrp-2)#ring-interface ethernet 1/1 ethernet 1/2
device(config-vlan-2-mrp-2)#enable
Syntax: [no] metro-ring ring id
The ring-id parameter specifies the ring ID. The ring-id can be from 1 - 1023; ID 256 is reserved for
VSRP.
On FCX and ICX devices, enter the metro-rings in addition to the metro-ring command as shown
below.
device(config)#vlan 2
device(config-vlan-2)#metro-rings 1 2
device(config-vlan-2)#metro-ring 1
device(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#name CustomerA
device(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#ring-interface ethernet 1/1 ethernet 1/2
device(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#enable
device(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#metro-ring 2
device(config-vlan-2-mrp-2)#name CustomerB
device(config-vlan-2-mrp-2)#ring-interface ethernet 1/1 ethernet 1/2
device(config-vlan-2-mrp-2)#enable
Syntax: [no] metro-rings ringid ringid . ..
The ring id variables identify the metro rings you want to configure on the VLAN.
Syntax: [no] name string
The string parameter specifies a name for the ring. The name is optional, but it can be up to 20
characters long and can include blank spaces. If you use a name that has blank spaces, enclose the
name in double quotation marks (for example: "Customer A").
Syntax: [no] master
Configures this node as the master node for the ring. Enter this command only on one node in the
ring. The node is a member (non-master) node by default.
Syntax: [no] ring-interface ethernet primary-if ethernet secondary-if
The ethernet primary-if parameter specifies the primary interface. On the master node, the primary
interface is the one that originates RHPs. Ring control traffic and Layer 2 data traffic will flow in the
outward direction from this interface by default. On member nodes, the direction of traffic flow depends
on the traffic direction selected by the master node. Therefore, on a member node, the order in which
you enter the interfaces does not matter.
The ethernet secondary-if parameter specifies the secondary interface.
NOTE
To take advantage of every interface in a Metro network, you can configure another MRP ring and
either configure a different Master node for the ring or reverse the configuration of the primary and
