How To Configure EPSR

This section first outlines, step-by-step, how to configure EPSR. Then it discusses changing the settings for the control VLAN, if you need to do this after initial configuration.

Configuring EPSR

1.Connect your switches into a ring

EPSR does not in itself limit the number of nodes that can exist on any given ring. Each switch can participate in up to 16 rings.

If you already have a ring in a live network, disconnect the cable between any two of the nodes before you start configuring EPSR, to prevent a loop.

2.On each switch, configure EPSR

On each switch, perform the following configuration steps. Configuration of the master node and each transit node is very similar.

i. Configure the control VLAN

This step creates the control VLAN and adds the ring ports to it as tagged ports.

Enter the commands:

create vlan=control-vlan-name vid=control-vid

add vlan=control-vidport=ring-portsframe=tagged

Note that you can use trunk groups for the ring ports.

ii. Configure the data VLAN

This step creates the data VLAN (or VLANs—you can have as many as you want) and adds the ring ports as tagged ports.

Enter the commands:

create vlan=data-vlan-name vid=data-vid

add vlan=data-vidport=ring-portsframe=tagged

The two ring ports must belong to the control VLAN and all data VLANs.
