Configuring EAPS on a Switch
ExtremeWare 7.2e Installation and User Guide
187
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 on the ring must be configured as the master node for the specified domain; all other nodes
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
Configuring EAPS Polling Timers
To set the values of the polling timers the master node uses for the EAPS health-check packet that is
circulated around the ring for an EAPS domain, use the following command:
configure eaps <name> hellotime <seconds>
configure eaps <name> failtime [<seconds>]
To configure the action taken if there is a break in the ring, use the following command:
configure eaps <name> failtime expiry-action [ open-secondary-port | send-alert]
NOTE
These commands apply only to the master node. If you configure the polling timers for a transit node,
they will be ignored. If you later reconfigure that transit node as the master node, the polling timer
values will be used as the current values.
Use the
hellotime
keyword and its associated
seconds
parameter to specify the amount of time the
master node waits between transmissions of health-check packets on the control VLAN.
seconds
must
be greater than 0 when you are configuring a master node. The default value is one second.
NOTE
Increasing the
hellotime
value keeps the processor from sending and processing too many
health-check packets. Increasing the
hellotime
value should not affect the network convergence time,
because transit nodes are already sending “link down” notifications.
Use the
failtime
keyword and
seconds
parameters to specify the amount of time the master node
waits before the failtimer expires.
The
seconds
parameter must be greater than the configured value for
hellotime
. The default value is
three seconds.
You can configure the action taken when the failtimer expires by using the
configure eaps failtime
expiry-action
command. Use the
send-alert
parameter to send an alert when the failtimer expires.
Instead of going into a “failed” state, the master node remains in a “Complete” or “Init” state, maintains
