RPL (Ring Protection Link)
– Link designated by mechanism that is blocked during Idle state to prevent loop on
Bridged ring
RPL Owner
– Node connected to RPL that blocks traffic on RPL during Idle state and unblocks during Protected
state
R-APS (Ring – Automatic Protection Switching)
- Protocol messages defined in Y.1731 and G.8032 used to
coordinate the protection actions over the ring through RAPS VLAN (R-APS Channel).
RAPS VLAN (R-APS Channel)
– A separate ring-wide
VLAN for transmission of R-APS messages
Protected VLAN
– The service traffic VLANs for transmission of
normal network traffic
This page is used to enable the ERPS function on the switch.
NOTE:
STP and LBD should be disabled on the ring ports before enabling ERPS. The ERPS cannot
be enabled before the R-APS VLAN is created, and ring ports, RPL port, RPL owner, are
configured. Note that these parameters cannot be changed when ERPS is enabled.
