6.18 G.8032 ERPS
ERPS specifies protection switching mechanisms and a protocol for Ethernet layer
network rings. Ethernet Rings can provide wide-area multipoint connectivity more
economically due to their reduced number of links. The mechanisms and protocol
defined in this recommendation achieve highly reliable and stable protection and never
form loops, which would fatally affect network operation and service availability.
6.18.1. G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Configuration
The G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Switch instances are configured here.
Ring Mode
Basic: Reserve function, designed for the project where needs to be compatible
with other vendor’s switch under G.8032 standard. The ring recovery time is the
least at Basic mode.
Auto: It will allow switch to define the roles of Owner、Neighbor and None. At this
mode, you don’t need to enable “Node failure detection” for auto ring survival
