11 If desired, enable Fast Convergence*.
12 Enable EAPS for the specified domain.
Although you can enable EAPS prior to configuring these steps, the EAPS domain(s) will not run until
you configure these parameters. (The steps with * can be configured at any time, even after the EAPS
domains are running.)
Creating and Deleting an EAPS Domain
Each EAPS domain is identified by a unique domain name.
To create an EAPS domain, use the following command:
create eaps <name>
The
name
parameter is a character string of up to 32 characters that identifies the EAPS domain to be
created.
NOTE
If you use the same name across categories (for example, STPD and EAPS names), Extreme Networks recommends
that you specify the identifying keyword as well as the actual name. If you do not use the keyword, the system may
return an error message.
The following command example creates an EAPS domain named “eaps_1”:
create eaps eaps_1
To delete an EAPS domain, use the following command:
delete eaps <name>
The following command example deletes the EAPS domain “eaps_1”:
delete eaps eaps_1
Defining the EAPS Mode of the Switch
To configure the EAPS node type of the switch, use the following command:
configure eaps <name> mode [master | transit]
One node (or switch) on the ring must be configured as the master node for the specified domain; all
other nodes (or switches) on the ring are configured as transit nodes for the same domain.
The following command example identifies this switch as the master node for the EAPS domain named
eaps_1.
configure eaps eaps_1 mode master
The following command example identifies this switch as a transit node for the EAPS domain named
eaps_1.
configure eaps eaps_1 mode transit
