You can configure Ethernet ring protection switching (ERPS) on ACX Series routers to
achieve high reliability and network stability. Links in the ring will never form loops that
fatally affect the network operation and services availability. The basic idea of an Ethernet
ring is to use one specific link to protect the whole ring. This special link is called a ring
protection link (RPL). If no failure happens in other links of the ring, the RPL blocks the
traffic and is not used. The RPL is controlled by a special node called an RPL owner.
A ring with only one port is supported. In such a scenario, only one port is configured for
a ring when two nodes are present. Use the
