RPL
ROLE
rpl role
Overview
Use this command to specify the role of each G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection
(ERP) ring port (also known as a link). The role can be specified as to whether it is a
Ring Protection Link (RPL) or not, and if it is an RPL, whether it is the Owner or
Neighbor end of an RPL.
Use the
none
variant of this command to set all the ERP instance's ring ports' RPL
role to
none
.
Syntax
rpl role {owner|neighbor}{east-interface|west-interface|
terminating-interface}
rpl role none
Default
A RPL role of “none” is the default.
Mode
G8032 Configure Switch
Usage
If a node has one of its ring ports set to Owner or Neighbor, then
none
is
automatically set on any other ring port as
none
is the only possible setting for the
other ring port.
When using this command to set the RPL role to
none
, an interface need not be
specified, as this command will set all the ring ports RPL role to
none
.
The command can only be accepted when the G.8032 ERP Instance is disabled, and
the ERP instance must also have an association to a ERP Physical Ring instance.
As in the case of a sub-ring with only one physical ring port, use
terminating-interface
when specifying the RPL role as Owner or Neighbor.
Example
To configure the east-interface of a ring port named “blue” to be an RPL Owner, use
the following commands:
awplus(config)#
g8032 erp-instance blue
awplus(g8032-config-switch)#
rpl role owner east-interface
