Configure Switch Features Chapter 7
Configure REP via Device Manager
From the Configure menu, choose REP.
To create a REP segment, set a segment ID and port type for a switch port.
Table 86 - REP Fields
Field Description
REP Admin VLAN The administrative VLAN. The range is 2…4094. The default is VLAN 1.
REP ports are assigned to the same REP Admin VLAN. If the REP Admin VLAN changes, all REP ports are automatically assigned to the new
REP Admin VLAN.
Port Name The number of the switch port, including port type (such as Fa for Fast Ethernet and Gi for Gigabit Ethernet).
Mode The administrative mode. To set this mode, from the Configure menu, choose Port Settings.
Segment ID The ID of the segment. The segment ID range is from 1…1024. If no segment ID is set, REP is disabled.
Port Type Each REP segment must have exactly two primary edge ports and can have secondary ports to use when a primary port fails. You can specify
preferred primary and secondary ports. Configuring a port as preferred does not mean that it becomes the alternate port but gives it a slight
edge among equal contenders. You can indicate that a port connects to switches that do not support REP.
Choose one of these port types:
• Edge—A secondary edge port that participates in VLAN load balancing.
• Edge no-neighbor—A secondary edge port that is connected to a non-REP switch.
• Edge no-neighbor preferred—A secondary edge port that is connected to a non-REP switch and is the preferred alternate port for VLAN
load balancing.
• Edge no-neighbor primary—A secondary edge port that always participates in VLAN load balancing in this REP segment and is
connected to a non-REP switch.
• Edge no-neighbor primary preferred—An edge port that always participates in VLAN load balancing in this REP segment, is connected
to a non-REP switch, and is the preferred port for VLAN load balancing.
• Edge preferred—A secondary edge port that is the preferred alternate port for VLAN load balancing.
• Edge primary—An edge port that always participates in VLAN load balancing in this REP segment.
• Edge primary preferred—An edge port that always participates in VLAN load balancing in this REP segment and is the preferred port for
VLAN load balancing.
• None—This port is not part of the REP segment. The default is None.
• Preferred—A secondary edge port that is the preferred alternate port for VLAN load balancing.
