Licensing
You must have a Core or an Advanced Core license to configure and use all of the Ethernet Automatic
Protection Switching (EAPS) features described in this chapter.
The BlackDiamond 10K switch with an MSM-1 module or an MSM1-XL module ships with a Core or
Advanced Core license, respectively.
The BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches (formerly known as Aspen) and the Summit X450 switch
ship with an Advanced Edge license. To use the complete EAPS functionality, including running two or
more EAPS rings, having a switch belonging to multiple EAPS rings, or configuring shared-ports that
allow multiple EAPS domains to share a common link, you must have a Core software license.
A subset of EAPS, called EAPS Edgemode, is available with an Advanced Edge license and supports a
subset of EAPS. The following features are available with EAPS Edgemode:
●
Switches can belong to only one EAPS ring.
●
Multiple EAPS domains using two matching ring ports.
For more information about software licensing, including how to obtain and upgrade your license, see
Chapter 1
, “
ExtremeWare XOS Overview
.”
Overview of the EAPS Protocol
The EAPS protocol provides fast protection switching to Layer 2 switches interconnected in an Ethernet
ring topology, such as a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) or large campuses (see
Figure 17
).
EAPS protection switching is similar to what can be achieved with the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP),
but EAPS offers the advantage of converging in less than 1 second when a link in the ring breaks.
