EAPS Shared Port Configuration Rules

The following rules apply to EAPS shared port configurations:
The controller and partner shared ports on either side of a common link must have the same
●
link ID.
Each common link in the network must have a unique link ID.
●
The modes on either side of a common link must be different from each other; one must be a
●
controller and one must be a partner.
There can be only up to two shared ports per switch.
●
There cannot be more than one controller on a switch.
●
Valid combinations on any one switch are:
1 controller
●
1 partner
●
1 controller and 1 partner
●
2 partners
●
A shared port cannot be configured on an EAPS master's secondary port.
