FIGURE 6-117 Creating Control Ring (Apply Protection Domain)
The user at this point can change the following attributes of the control ring (refer to Table 6-26).
• Interface #1/Primary (whichever one is chosen as the Primary)
• Is Master
• Is Enabled
• EPSR+ - Beginning in NSP release 12.0, each node in the ring has the parameter ENHANCEDRECOVERY, which can set
to ON (checked) or OFF (unchecked) if the node supports this feature. If the node is not running NSP release 12.0 or above,
the checkbox is disabled. If all nodes support EPSR+, they are all initially checked.
Note: Refer to the Allied Telesis Feature Guide for detailed information about the EPSR+ feature.
Finally, the user clicks Apply Protection Domain. This configures the devices to support the control ring. The Task Details
window appears and the control ring is configured for each device. (If there is an error, the Task Details window can be used to
determine the error condition.)
Once the Protection Domain is applied, a map of the control ring is created that can be viewed, as shown in subsection 6.13.2.5.
