ERPS (G.8032) Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) (ITU-T G.8032) integrates mature Ethernet Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) functions and a simple Automatic Protection Switching (APS) protocol to provide sub-50ms protection for Ethernet traffic in a ring topology. It ensures that there are no loops formed at the Ethernet layer. One link within a ring will be blocked to avoid a Loop (RPL, Ring Protection Link). When the failure happens, protection switching blocks the failed link and unblocks the RPL. When the failure clears, protection switching blocks the RPL again and unblocks the link on which the failure is cleared. ERPS This window is used to display and configure the Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) settings. STP and Loopback Detection (LBD) should be disabled on the ring ports before enabling ERPS. The ERPS cannot be enabled before the R-APS VLAN ring ports, RPL port, and RPL owner are configured. 164
