Creating and Deleting an EAPS Domain

Each EAPS domain is identified by a unique domain name.

NOTE

Only a single EAPS domain per switch is supported by Summit 200 series switches.

To create an EAPS domain, use the following command:

create eaps

The

name

parameter is a character string of up to 32 characters that identifies the EAPS domain to be

created. EAPS domain names and VLAN names must be unique; Do not use the same name string to
identify both an EAPS domain and a VLAN.The following command example creates EAPS domain
eaps_1 on the switch:

create eaps eaps_1

To delete an EAPS domain, use the following command:

delete eaps

The following command example deletes the EAPS domain eaps_1:

delete eaps eaps_1

Defining the EAPS Mode of the Switch

To configure the EAPS node type of the switch, use the following command:

config eaps mode [master | transit]

One node on the ring must be configured as the master node for the specified domain; all other nodes
on the ring are configured as transit nodes for the same domain.

The following command example identifies this switch as the master node for the domain named
eaps_1.

config eaps eaps_1 mode master

The following command example identifies this switch as a transit node for the domain named eaps_1.

config eaps eaps_1 mode transit

Configuring EAPS Polling Timers

To set the values of the polling timers the master node uses for the EAPS health-check packet that is
circulated around the ring for an EAPS domain, use the following command:

config eaps [hellotime | failtime ]

NOTE

This command applies only to the master node. If you configure the polling timers for a transit node,
they will be ignored. If you later reconfigure that transit node as the master node, the polling timer
values will be used as the current values.
