Ethernet Ring Protection Switching
– 479 –
4. Configure the RPL owner (Configure Instance – Configure Details): Configure
one node in the ring as the Ring Protection Link (RPL) owner. When this switch
is configured as the RPL owner, the west ring port is set as being connected to
the RPL. Under normal operations (Idle state), the RPL is blocked to ensure that
a loop cannot form in the ring. If a signal failure brings down any other link in
the ring, the RPL will be unblocked (Protection state) to ensure proper
connectivity among all ring nodes until the failure is recovered.
5. Configure ERPS timers (Configure Instance – Configure Details): Set the Guard
timer to prevent ring nodes from receiving outdated R-APS messages, the
Hold-off timer to filter out intermittent link faults, and the WTR timer to verify
that the ring has stabilized before blocking the RPL after recovery from a signal
failure.
6. Configure the ERPS Control VLAN (Configure Instance – Configure Details):
Specify the Control VLAN (CVLAN) used to pass R-APS ring maintenance
commands. The CVLAN must NOT be configured with an IP address. In addition,
only ring ports may be added to the CVLAN (prior to configuring the VLAN as a
CVLAN). No other ports can be members of this VLAN (once set as a CVLAN).
Also, the ring ports of the CVLAN must be tagged. Failure to observe these
restrictions can result in a loop in the network.
7. Select the Inclusion VLAN groups (Configure Instance – Configure Details):
Select the ERPS VLAN groups to assign to the instances.
8. Enable ERPS (Configure Global): Before enabling a ring and instance as
described in the next steps, first globally enable ERPS on the switch. If ERPS has
not yet been enabled or has been disabled, no ERPS rings will work.
9. Enable an ERPS ring (Configure Ring – Add/Modify): Before an ERPS instance
can work, the physical ring must be enabled.
10. Enable an ERPS instance (Configure Instance – Configure Details): Before an
ERPS instance can work, it must be enabled. When configuration is completed
and the instance enabled, R-APS messages will start flowing in the control
VLAN, and normal traffic will begin to flow in the data VLANs. A ring can be
stopped by disabling the Status on any node.
11. Display ERPS status information (Configure Instance – Show): Display ERPS
status information for all configured rings.
Configuration Limitations for ERPS
The following configuration limitations apply to ERPS:
◆ Ring ports cannot be a member of a trunk, nor an LACP-enabled port.
◆ Dynamic VLANs are not supported as protected data ports.
◆ Exclusive use of STP or ERPS on any port.
