Chapter 15 Configuring Resilient Packet Ring on the ML-Series Card

Delete an ML-Series Card from an RPR

a.

Router(config)# interface pos

Enters interface configuration mode for the POS port at one

 

interface-number

endpoint of the second newly created circuit.

 

 

 

b.

Router(config-if)# no shutdown

Enables the port.

 

 

 

Step 23

Use a test set to verify that Ethernet connectivity exists on the RPR.

Step 24

Monitor Ethernet traffic and routing tables for at least one hour after the node insertion.

 

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

 

 

 

Delete an ML-Series Card from an RPR

An existing RPR might need an ML-Series card deleted. This can be done without taking down data traffic due to the RPR wrapping capability and ring architecture.

The following example has a three-node RPR with three STS circuits connecting the ML-Series cards. Two circuits will be deleted. The RPR will wrap traffic on the remaining circuit with as little as a one ping loss. The third node and ML-Series card are then deleted and a new STS circuit is created between the two remaining cards.

Figure 15-9shows the existing three-node RPR with all three STS circuits and spans. Figure 15-10shows the RPR after the third node, circuits, and spans are deleted and the new STS circuit and span are added.
