CLI display of MRP ring information

This field...

Displays...

Ring id

The ring ID

State

The state of MRP. The state can be one of the following:

enabled – MRP is enabled

disabled – MRP is disabled

Ring role

Whether this node is the master for the ring. The role can be one of the
following:

master

member

Topo group

The topology group ID if a topology group is configured. This field will show the
value ‘not conf’ if no topology group is in use.

Hello time

The interval, in milliseconds, which the forwarding port on the ring’s master
node sends Ring Hello Packets (RHPs). Configured in increments of 100ms.

Prefwing time

The number of milliseconds a MRP interface will wait to move an interface in
blocking state to preforwarding state if no RHP’s are received. It is also the
number of milliseconds that an interface that has entered the preforwarding
state will wait before changing to the forwarding state.
If a member port in the preforwarding state does not receive an RHP within the
preforwarding time (Prefwing time), the port assumes that a topology change
has occurred and changes to the forwarding state.
The secondary port on the master node changes to blocking if it receives an
RHP, but changes to forwarding if the port does not receive an RHP before the
preforwarding time expires.
Configured in increments of 100ms.
NOTE: A member node’s preforwarding interface also changes from

preforwarding to forwarding if it receives an RHP whose forwarding bit
is on.

Ring interfaces

The device’s two interfaces with the ring.
NOTE: If the interfaces are trunk groups, only the primary ports of the groups

are listed.
