560 ExtremeWare XOS 11.0 Command Reference Guide
ESRP Commands
configure esrp mode
configure esrp mode [extended | standard]
Description
Configures the mode of operation for ESRP on the switch.
Syntax Description
Default
The default mode is extended.
Usage Guidelines
Use standard ESRP if your network contains a combination of switches running ExtremeWare XOS and
ExtremeWare participating in ESRP. With standard ESRP, the switches running ExtremeWare XOS are
backwards compatible with the switches running ExtremeWare.
Use extended ESRP if your network contains switches running ExtremeWare XOS only, this is the
default.
If your network has switches currently running ExtremeWare, and you add a new BlackDiamond 10808
switch running ExtremeWare XOS, select standard ESRP on the BlackDiamond 10808. By selecting
standard, the BlackDiamond 10808 is backwards compatible with the ExtremeWare implementation of
ESRP.
If you use the default mode, and your ESRP domain contains a BlackDiamond 10808 running
ExtremeWare XOS that detects a neighbor switch running ExtremeWare, the mode automatically
changes to standard for that domain. This action causes the switch to enter the neutral state and re-elect
the ESRP master.
Example
The following command configures ESRP to run in standard mode:
configure esrp mode standard
