Commands for Configuring and Monitoring EAPS
Summit24e3 Switch Installation and User Guide

NOTE
When you configure the VLAN that will act as the control VLAN, that VLAN must be assigned a QoS
profile of Qp8, and the ring ports of the control VLAN must be tagged.
By assigning the control VLAN a QoS profile of Qp8, you ensure that EAPS control VLAN traffic is
serviced before any other traffic and that control VLAN messages reach their intended destinations. For
example, if the control VLAN is not assigned the highest priority and a broadcast storm occurs in the
network, the control VLAN messages might be dropped at intermediate points. Assigning the control
VLAN the highest priority prevents dropped control VLAN messages.
NOTE
Since the QoS profiles Qp7 and Qp8 share the same hardware queue in the Summit24e3, you must
limit the amount of traffic that uses these profiles. Otherwise, the Summit24e3 may drop EAPS control
packets, preventing EAPS from operating reliably.
The following command example adds the control VLAN “keys” to the EAPS domain “eaps_1.”
config eaps eaps_1 add control vlan keys
Configuring the EAPS Protected VLANs
You must configure one or more protected VLANs for each EAPS domain. The protected VLANs are the
data-carrying VLANs.
NOTE
When you configure the VLAN that will act as a protected VLAN, the ring ports of the protected VLAN
must be tagged (except in the case of the default VLAN).
To configure an EAPS protected VLAN, use the following command:
config eaps <name> add protect vlan <name>
NOTE
As long as the ring is complete, the master node blocks the protected VLANs on its secondary port.
The following command example adds the protected VLAN “orchid” to the EAPS domain “eaps_1.”
config eaps eaps_1 add protect vlan orchid
Enabling and Disabling an EAPS Domain
To enable a specific EAPS domain, use the following command:
enable eaps <name>
To disable a specific EAPS domain, use the following command:
disable eaps <name>
