Figure 137: New EAPS Domain Window
2 Enter a name for the new EAPS domain
3 Select the links that will make up the new EAPS domain.
4 In the Master Node box, select the device that will be the master node for the new EAPS domain.
The list of devices in the Master Node box is based on the selected links.
5 In the Primary port box, select a port. The available ports is based on the device selected to be the
master node. The other port in the link is automatically selected as the secondary port.
6 Enter a name and tag value for the Control VLAN for the EAPS domain.
7 Enter values for the EAPS Hello timer and Fail timer, if you want to use values other than the
default.
8 When you have finished configuring the EAPS domain, click the Create EAPS domain button to
start the validation and deployment process. The Progress and Results window is displayed.
9 Ridgeline validates the options you selected against a set of predefined configuration rules, and
ensures that the target switches are running a version of software that supports the features you are
provisioning.
If Ridgeline successfully validates the selected options, it verifies network connectivity to the target
switches. If a connection can be established to all of the target switches, Ridgeline deploys the
configuration commands, then saves the configuration file on each switch. Finally, Ridgeline updates
its own database with information about the configuration changes on the switches.
The information in the Progress and Results window is logged in the Ridgeline Audit Log. See
