The ESRP Manager
This chapter describes how to use the ExtremeWare EPICenter ESRP Manager applet for:
• Viewing the status of ESRP-enabled VLANs and the ESRP-enabled switches in those
VLANs
Overview of the ESRP Manager
The Extreme Standby Router Protocol (ESRP) is a feature of ExtremeWare that allows
multiple switches to provide redundant layer 3 routing services, as well as layer 2
redundancy, tousers. TheESRP Managerdisplays the status of ESRP-enabled VLANs and
the ESRP-enabled switches in those VLANs. You can view a summary status for all the
ESRP-enabled VLANs being monitored by EPICenter. You can also view detailed
information for an individual ESRP-enabled VLAN and the switches in those VLANs.
This chapter does not discuss ESRP functionality in any detail. For more
information about ESRP, see the ExtremeWare Software User Guide, versions 6.0
or later.
To start the ESRP Manager applet, click the ESRP button in the ExtremeWare EPICenter
Navigation Toolbar. The ESRP Manager applet appears, initially displaying a summary
status of the ESRP-enabled VLANs known to EPICenter, as shown in Figure 14-1.
