The routers use an implicit filter to achieve ERP routes. Each implicit filter binds to a
bridge domain. Therefore, the east ring port control channel and the west ring port control
channel of a particular ring instance must be configured to the same bridge domain. For
each ring port control channel, a filter term is generated to control RAPS message
forwarding. The filter number is the same as the number of bridge domains that contain
the ring control channels. If a bridge domain contains control channels from multiple
rings, the filter related to this bridge domain will have multiple terms and each term will
relate to a control channel. The filter has command parts and control-channel related
parts, as follows:
Common terms:
term 1: if [Ethernet type is not OAM Ethernet type (0x8902)
] { accept packet }
term 2: if [source MAC address belongs to this bridge]
{ drop packet, our packet loop through the ring and come back
to home}
term 3: if [destination is the RAPS PDU multicast address(0x01,0x19,0xa7,
{ send to CPU }
Control channel related terms:
if [destination is the RAPS PDU multicast
address(0x01,0x19,0xa7,0x00,0x00,
0x01] AND[ring port STP status is FORWARDING] AND [Incoming
interface
IFL equal to control channel IFL]
{ send packet to CPU and send to the other ring port }
default term: accept packet.
For each ring port, a dedicated signaling control channel with a dedicated VLAN ID must
be configured. In Ethernet ring configuration, only this control logical interface is configured
and the underlying physical interface is the physical ring port. Each ring requires that two
control physical interfaces be configured. These two logical interfaces must be configured
in a bridge domain for routers (or the same VLAN for switches) in order to forward RAPS
protocol data units (PDUs) between the two ring control physical interfaces. If the router
control channel logical interface is not a trunk port, only control logical interfaces will be
configured in ring port configuration. If this router control channel logical interface is a
trunk port, in addition to the control channel logical interfaces, a dedicated VLAN ID must
be configured for routers. For switches, always specify either a VLAN name or VLAN ID
for all links.
The RAPS message starts from the originating node, travels through the entire ring, and
terminates in the originating node unless a failure is present in the ring. The originating
