Rep Segment - Cisco ME 3400 Command Reference Manual

Chapter 2 Cisco ME 3400 Ethernet Access Switch Cisco IOS Commands

rep segment

Use the rep segment interface configuration command to enable Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) on
the interface and to assign a segment ID to it. Use the no form of this command to disable REP on the
interface.
Syntax Description
segment-id
edge
no-neighbor
primary
preferred
Defaults REP is disabled on the interface.
When REP is enabled on an interface, the default is for the port to be a regular segment port.
Command Modes
Interface configuration
Command History Release
12.2(40)SE
12.2(50)SE
Usage Guidelines
REP ports must be Layer 2 trunk ports.
A non-ES REP port can be either an IEEE 802.1Q trunk port or an ISL trunk port.
REP ports should not be configured as one of these port types:
•
•
•
OL-9640-10
rep segment segment-id [edge [no-neighbor] [primary]] [preferred]
no rep segment
Assign a segment ID to the interface. The range is from 1 to 1024.
(Optional) Identify the interface as one of the two REP edge ports. Entering the edge
keyword without the primary keyword configures the port as the secondary edge
port.
(Optional) Configure a segment edge with no external REP neighbor.
(Optional) On an edge port, specify that the port is the primary edge port. A segment
has only one primary edge port. If you configure two ports in a segment as the
primary edge port, for example ports on different switches, the REP selects one of
them to serve as the segment primary edge port.
(Optional) Specify that the port is the preferred alternate port or the preferred port
for VLAN load balancing.
Configuring a port as preferred does not guarantee that it becomes the
Note
alternate port; it merely gives it a slight edge among equal contenders. The
alternate port is usually a previously failed port.
Modification
This command was introduced.
The no-neighbor keyword was added.
SPAN destination port
Private VLAN port
Tunnel port
