ELTEX MES3108 - 5.15.7 EAPS protocol

MES3000 Ethernet switch series 101
5.15.7 EAPS protocol
EAPS (Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching) protocol allows to increase stability and robustness
of data network with ring topology by decreasing the restoration time after the failure. Restoration time
does not exceed 1 second, which is substantially lower than the network reconstruction in case of
spanning tree family of protocols.
Global configuration mode commands
Command line request in global configuration mode appears as follows:
console(config)#
Table 5.97 —Global configuration mode commands
Command
Value/Default value
Action
eaps
-
Enable EAPS protocol operation.
no eaps
Disable EAPS protocol operation.
eaps fail-timer seconds
seconds: (1..10)/3 seconds
Define the absence time for test packets, that should pass for ring
failure to be registered.
no eaps fail-timer
Set the timer default value.
eaps hello-timer seconds
seconds: (1..10)/1 seconds
Hello-packet sending frequency timer.
- seconds—time period used for hello packets transmission, in
seconds.
no eaps hello-timer
Set the timer default value.
eaps domain domain_id
domain_id: (0..63)
Create EAPS region with domain-id identifier and enter the region
configuration mode.
no eaps domain domain_id
Remove EAPS region with domain-id identifier.
Domain configuration mode commands
Command line request in domain configuration mode appears as follows:
console(config-eaps-domain)#
Table 5.98 —EAPS domain configuration mode commands
Command
Value/Default value
Action
control-vlan vlan_id
vlan_id: (1..4093)
Identifier of VLAN being used for EAPS management. Also, the
next successive VLAN identifier is used for secondary loop
management (control-vlan +1). Master EAPS VLAN should not be
used for transmission of other traffic types.
- vlan_id—number of VLAN controlling EAPS.
no control-vlan
Cancel VLAN assignment.
ring ring_id
ring_id: (0..15)
Create a ring with ring_id identifier and enter the ring
configuration mode.
no ring ring_id
Remove a ring with ring_id identifier.
set ring ring_id {enable |
disable}
ring_id: (0..15)
Enable or disable ring operation with ring_id identifier.
Ring configuration mode commands
Command line request in configuration mode appears as follows:
console(config-eaps-domain-ring)#
Table 5.99 —EAPS ring configuration mode commands
Command
Value/Default value
Action
primary-port {gigabitethernet
gi_port | tengigabitethernet
te_port | port-channel group }
gi_port: (1..8/0/1..24);
te_port: (1..8/0/1..4);
group: (1..24)
Select the primary switch port included in the ring.
