Example for Configuring ERPS
Networking Requirements
Figure 1. ERPS Configuration Example
In order to solve the loop problem caused by redundant links in the network, ERPS protocol can be deployed on the devices that form the ring network. As shown in Figure 1, taking the deployment of a single-ring multi-instance ERPS ring as an example.
- Switch A, Switch B, Switch C and Switch D form an ERPS ring, on which two instances are configured.
- The RPL Owner Node of instance 1 is the interface te-1/1/19 (port1) on Switch A. The RPL is the link between Switch A and Switch D. The control VLAN is VLAN 4001 and the protection VLANs are VLAN 100-200.
- The RPL Owner Node of instance 2 is the interface ge-1/1/5 (port0) on Switch C. Its RPL is the link between Switch B and Switch C. The control VLAN is VLAN 4002 and the protection VLANs are VLANs 300-400.

Verifying the Configuration
- The command run show erps brief can be used to check the brief configuration information of the ERPS ring. Take Switch A as an example:
admin@SwitchA# run show erps brief Enable: true Version: 2 D: Discarding F: Forwarding R: RPL Owner N: RPL Neighbour Ring ID Instance ID Control VLAN Port0 Port1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 1 4001 te-1/1/3(F) te-1/1/19 (D,R) 1 2 4002 te-1/1/3(F) te-1/1/19(F)
- The command run show erps ring <ring-id> can be used to check the detailed information of the ERPS ring. Take Switch A as an example:
admin@SwitchA# run show erps ring 1 Ring ID: 1 Port0: te-1/1/3 Port1: te-1/1/19 Ring-MAC: false Instance ID: 1 Active: true Node state: IDLE Description: Control VLAN: 4001 Protected instance: 1 Protected VLAN: 100-200 Guard timer: 500 Hold-off timer: 0 WTR timer: 5 Revertive mode: Revertive R-APS level : 7 Interface Port Role Port State Signal Failure ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- te-1/1/3 Common Forwarding Non-failed te-1/19 RPL Owner Discarding Non-failed Instance ID: 2 Active: true Node state: IDLE Description: Control VLAN: 4002 Protected instance: 2 Protected VLAN: 300-400 Guard timer: 500 Hold-off timer: 0 WTR timer: 5 Revertive mode: Revertive R-APS level : 7 Interface Port Role Port State Signal Failure ----------------------------------------------------------------- te-1/1/3 Common Forwarding Non-failed te-1/19 Common Forwarding Non-failed
From the show result, we can see that port te-1/19 on Switch A is the Owner node in Instance 1, with the ERPS ring in the Idle state, the RPL owner port blocked, and the port state of the non-RPL owner port is forwarding.
In Instance 2, port0 and port1 are Normal nodes, the ERPS ring is in the Idle state, and the port state of the non-RPL owner ports are forwarding.
