ERPS Configuration
Command Usage
Each node must be connected to two neighbors on the ring. For convenience, the ports connected
are referred to as east and west ports. Alternatively, the closest neighbor to the east should be the
next node in the ring in a clockwise direction, and the closest neighbor to the west should be the
next node in the ring in a counter-clockwise direction.
Example
Console(config-erps)#ring-port east interface ethernet 1/12
Console(config-erps)#
rpl owner
This command configures a ring node to be the Ring Protection Link (RPL) owner or a non-owner.
Syntax
[no] rpl owner
Default Setting
non-owner
Command Mode
ERPS Configuration
Command Usage
• Only one RPL owner can be configured on a ring. The owner blocks traffic on the RPL during
Idle state, and unblocks it during Protection state (that is, when a signal fault is detected on
the ring).
• The east and west connections to the ring must be specified for all ring nodes using the
ring-port command. When this switch is configured as the RPL owner, the west ring port is set
as being connected to the RPL.
Example
Console(config-erps)#rpl owner
Console(config-erps)#
wtr-timer
This command sets the wait-to-restore timer which is used to verify that the ring has stabilized
before blocking the RPL after recovery from a signal failure. Use the no form to restore the default
setting.
Syntax
wtr-timer minutes
minutes - The wait-to-restore timer is used to verify that the ring has stabilized before
blocking the RPL after recovery from a signal failure. (Range: 5-12 minutes)
