Configuring Ethernet Ring Protection Switching
The inheritance model follows:
[edit protocols] protection-group { ethernet-ring ring-name ( node-id mac-address; ring-protection-link-owner; east-interface { control-channel channel-name { ring-protection-link-end; } west-interface { node-id mac-address; control-channel channel-name { ring-protection-link-end; } data-channel { vlan number; } guard-interval number; restore-interval number; } }
For each ring, a protection group must be configured. There may be several rings in each node, so there should be multiple protection groups corresponding to the related Ethernet rings.
Three interval parameters (restore-interval
, guard-interval
, and hold-interval
) can be configured
at the protection group level. These configurations are global configurations
and apply to all Ethernet rings if the Ethernet ring doesn't have
a more specific configuration for these values. If no parameter is
configured at the protection group level, the global configuration
of this parameter uses the default value.
