Example
Console(config-erps)#non-erps-dev-protect
Console(config-erps)#
non-revertive
This command enables non-revertive mode, which requires the protection state on
the RPL to manually cleared. Use the
no form to restore the default revertive mode.

Command Usage
◆
Revertive behavior allows the switch to automatically return the RPL from
Protection state to Idle state through the exchange of protocol messages.
Non-revertive behavior for Protection, Forced Switch, and Manual Switch states
are basically the same. Non-revertive behavior requires the
erps clear
command to used to return the RPL from Protection state to Idle state.
◆
Recovery for Protection Switching – A ring node that has one or more ring ports
in an SF (Signal Fail) condition, upon detecting the SF condition cleared, keeps
at least one of its ring ports blocked for the traffic channel and for the R-APS
channel, until the RPL is blocked as a result of ring protection reversion, or until
there is another higher priority request (e.g., an SF condition) in the ring.
A ring node that has one ring port in an SF condition and detects the SF
condition cleared, continuously transmits the R-APS (NR – no request) message
with its own Node ID as the priority information over both ring ports, informing
that no request is present at this ring node and initiates a guard timer. When
another recovered ring node (or nodes) holding the link block receives this
message, it compares the Node ID information with its own Node ID. If the
received R-APS (NR) message has the higher priority, this ring node unblocks its
ring ports. Otherwise, the block remains unchanged. As a result, there is only
one link with one end blocked.
The ring nodes stop transmitting R-APS (NR) messages when they accept an R-
APS (NR, RB – RPL Blocked), or when another higher priority request is received.
■
Recovery with Revertive Mode – When all ring links and ring nodes have
recovered and no external requests are active, reversion is handled in the
following way:
a.
The reception of an R-APS (NR) message causes the RPL Owner Node to
start the WTR (Wait-to-Restore) timer.
