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 or the protection state is enabled with the
erps forced-switch or erps manual-switch command).
◆
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)#
version
This command specifies compatibility with ERPS version 1 or 2.

Command Usage
◆
In addition to the basic features provided by version 1, version 2 also supports:
■
Multi-ring/ladder network support
■
Revertive/Non-revertive recovery
■
Forced Switch (FS) and Manual Switch (MS) commands for manually
blocking a particular ring port
■
Flush FDB (forwarding database) logic which reduces amount of flush FDB
operations in the ring
■
Support of multiple ERP instances on a single ring
◆
Version 2 is backward compatible with Version 1. If version 2 is specified, the
inputs and commands are forwarded transparently. If set to version 1, MS and
FS operator commands are filtered, and the switch set to revertive mode.
