Ethernet Ring Protection Switching
Note:
Information in this section is based on ITU-T G.8032/Y.1344.
Note:
To configures ERPS with multiple instances, see the CLI Reference Guide.
The ITU G.8032 recommendation specifies a protection switching mechanism and
protocol for Ethernet layer network rings. Ethernet rings can provide wide-area
multipoint connectivity more economically due to their reduced number of links.
The mechanisms and protocol defined in G.8032 achieve highly reliable and stable
protection; and never form loops, which would fatally affect network operation and
service availability.
The G.8032 recommendation, also referred to as Ethernet Ring Protection
Switching (ERPS), can be used to increase the availability and robustness of
