Configuring Shortest Path and Topology Discovery
To enable and configure shortest path and topology discovery, perform the following procedure,
beginning in global configuration mode:
Monitoring and Verifying Topology Discovery and Shortest Path Load
Balancing
After configuring topology discovery, you can monitor the status using the global command show spr
topology 1 to display the Cisco proprietary RPR topology information.

Command
Purpose
Step 1
Router# interface spr1
Activates interface configuration mode to
configure the POS interface.
Step 2
Router(config-if)# spr topology discovery
Enables topology discovery on Cisco proprietary
RPR.
Step 3
Router(config-if)# spr load-balance
shortest-hop
Configures shortest path load-balancing for
Layer 2 unicast packets being added to the ring.
Step 4
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Enables the interface by preventing it from
shutting down.
Step 5
Router(config)# end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
Router# copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Saves configuration changes to the
TCC2/TCC2P flash database.
