configure eaps mode
configure eaps <name> mode [master | transit]
Description
Configures the switch as either the EAPS master node or as an EAPS transit node for the specified
domain.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
One node (or switch) on the ring
must
be configured as the master node for the specified domain; all
other nodes (or switches) on the ring are configured as transit nodes for the same domain.
If you configure a switch to be a transit node for an EAPS domain, the switch displays by default
messages to:
●
Remind you to configure a master node in the EAPS domain.
●
Notify you that changing a master node to a transit node might cause a loop in the network. If you
have not assigned a new master node before changing the current master node to a transit node, you
might cause a loop in the network.
When prompted, do one of the following:
●
Enter
y
to identify the switch as a transit node.
●
Enter
n
or press [Return] to cancel this action.
If you have considerable knowledge and experience with EAPS, you might find the EAPS loop
protection warning messages unnecessary. For more information, see the
configure eaps config-
warnings off
command
on page 1117
.
