ERPS Commands
Example
Console(config-erps)#ring-port east interface ethernet 1/12
Console(config-erps)#
rpl owner
This command configures a ring node to be the Ring Protection Link (RPL) owner or a non-owner.
Syntax
[no] rpl owner
Default Setting
non-owner
Command Mode
ERPS Configuration
Command Usage
Only one RPL owner can be configured on a ring. The owner blocks traffic on the RPL during
Idle state, and unblocks it during Protection state (that is, when a signal fault is detected on
the ring).
The east and west connections to the ring must be specified for all ring nodes using the
ring-port command. When this switch is configured as the RPL owner, the west ring port is
automatically set as being connected to the RPL.
Example
Console(config-erps)#rpl owner
Console(config-erps)#
wtr-timer
This command sets the wait-to-restore timer which is used to verify that the ring has stabilized
before blocking the RPL after recovery from a signal failure. Use the no form to restore the default
setting.
Syntax
wtr-timer minutes
minutes - The wait-to-restore timer is used to verify that the ring has stabilized before
blocking the RPL after recovery from a signal failure. (Range: 5-12 minutes)
Default Setting
5 minutes
Command Mode
ERPS Configuration
Command Usage
If the switch goes into ring protection state due to a signal failure, after the failure condition is
cleared, the RPL owner will start the wait-to-restore timer and wait until it expires to verify that the
ring has stabilized before blocking the RPL and returning to the Idle (normal operating) state.
