One link within a ring will be blocked to avoid Loop (RPL, Ring Protection Link). When the failure happens,
protection switching blocks the failed link and unblocks the RPL. When the failure clears, protection switching
blocks the RPL again and unblocks the link on which the failure is cleared.
RPL (Ring Protection Link)
– Link designated by mechanism that is blocked during Idle state to prevent loop on
Bridged ring
G.8032 Terms and Concepts
RPL Owner
– Node connected to RPL that blocks traffic on RPL during Idle state and unblocks during Protected
state
R-APS (Ring – Automatic Protection Switching)
- Protocol messages defined in Y.1731 and G.8032 used to
coordinate the protection actions over the ring through RAPS VLAN (R-APS Channel).
RAPS VLAN (R-APS Channel)
– A separate ring-wide VLAN for transmission of R-APS messages
Protected VLAN
– The service traffic VLANs for transmission of normal network traffic
This page is used to enable the ERPS function on the switch.
NOTE:
STP and LBD should be disabled on the ring ports before enabling ERPS. The ERPS cannot
be enabled before the R-APS VLAN is created, and ring ports, RPL port, RPL owner, are
configured.
