FIGURE 6-143 Example Configuration for SuperLoop Feature
Following the example shown in the figure, the user wishes to have one ring at priority 126 and the other at 125. The major
steps to create this configuration are as follows:
1. Create the first EPS Ring with a Control VLAN of 710, with a domain name of ctrl710. This is the same as creating an EPS
Ring is Section 6.13, but the user specifies Priority=126.
2. Create a second EPS Ring with the Control VLAN for 720 and the domain name ctrl720. For this ring, specify
Priority=125. Since the rings are to be peers, the iMAPs that contain the shared ports will not permit the domains to be
enabled at this point. (not until they have at least one common data VLAN).
3. If the SuperRing is to have more rings on it, add them one-by-one as they connect to the existing rings.
4. To add a protected data VLAN to the SuperRing, select any one of the Peer control VLAN maps and create a protected
VLAN. This VLAN will automatically be extended to the entire SuperRing domain (all of the EPSR domains that make up
the SuperRing).
5. Any EPSR domains that are disabled can now be enabled.
