Configuring Network Services SuperLoop Prevention (Superring)

AlliedView NMS Administration Guide
At the end of the procedure, all created rings are part of the SuperRing, and any Protected VLANs created on the original
ring will be protected by the SuperRing domain.
Additional Protected VLANs can be added after the Super-Ring is created by selecting any one of the control ring maps and
creating a protected VLAN on it. The NMS will automatically extend that data VLAN to all of the peer domains. This permits
creation of protected VLANs without disabling the Super-Ring, since the iMAP requires the protection to be configured on
all peer domains of a device at the same time.
6.14.2 Creating the EPSR SuperRIng
6.14.2.1 Create a Network VLAN and with it Create an EPSR Control VLAN
These steps are similar to those described in 6.3 and 6.13. The user selects one or more nodes on the Physical Network map
and by using the Create VLAN Net Form creates a loop VLAN that includes the appropriate nodes and interfaces. The user
then turns this Network VLAN into an EPSR Control VLAN (creating the EPSR domain) by right clicking on the GUI of the
Network VLAN that is a ring and selecting “Configure EPS Control Ring”.
Note: The user can also choose the VLAN Operations menu pull-down.
Making this choice brings up the Configure EPS Control Ring Panel, as shown in the following figures.
Note: When a network VLAN has been configured as a ring, the icon for a ring appears as the leaf in the VLAN Network tree
hierarchy.
