5.2 MRP
The concept of the MRP-Ring enables the construction of high-availability,
ring-shaped network structures.
The two ends of a backbone in a line-type configuration can be closed to form
a redundant ring - the MRP-Ring - by using the RM function (Redundancy
Manager) of the Switch.
It is possible to mix the devices that support this function in any combination
within the MRP ring.
If a line section becomes inoperable, the ring structure of up to 50 switches
typically transforms back to a line-type configuration within 150 ms (maxi-
mum 500 ms).
5.2.1 show mrp
This command displays the settings and states of the MRP-Ring. The follow-
ing details are displayed on execution of the command.
Format
show mrp [current-domain]
Mode
Privileged EXEC and User EXEC
current-domain
Specify the optional keyword "current-domain" to show the current
MRP domain's settings. If you omit the keyword "current-domain", the
show command will display the settings of all existing MRP domains.
Note: currently, it is only possible to configure one MRP domain, so
the keyword keyword "current-domain" can be omitted (it exists for
future compatibility reasons).
