35 ERPS COMMANDS
The G.8032 recommendation, also referred to as Ethernet Ring Protection
Switching (ERPS), can be used to increase the availability and robustness
of Ethernet rings.
This chapter describes commands used to configure ERPS.
Table 128: ERPS Commands
Command Function Mode
erps Enables ERPS globally on the switch GC
erps domain Creates an ERPS ring and enters ERPS configuration mode GC

in R-APS messages
ERPS
raps-without-
vc
Terminates the R-APS channel at the primary ring to sub-ring
interconnection nodes
ERPS
ring-port Configures a node’s connection to the ring through the east or
west interface
ERPS
rpl neighbor Configures a ring node to be the RPL neighbor ERPS
rpl owner Configures a ring node to be the RPL owner ERPS
version Specifies compatibility with ERPS version 1 or 2 ERPS
wtr-timer Sets timer to verify that the ring has stabilized before blocking
the RPL after recovery from a signal failure
