Managing Your EAPS Configuration

The EAPS Map View

The EAPS map view shows the devices in a device group with respect to their EAPS implementation,
including the EAPS-related links between devices and a summary status for each device and for each
EAPS ring. Figure 141 above shows an example of the EAPS map view for a device group.
NOTE
If some of the devices in an EAPS domain are missing from Ridgeline's inventory database, those devices
will not appear in the EAPS map view, and the EAPS domain status may not correctly reflect the status of the
entire domain Additionally, it may be difficult to troubleshoot domain operational problems that occur within nodes or
links that are not shown on the map.
Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you add all the nodes in your EAPS configuration to your Ridgeline
inventory database.
EAPS domains are identified by their Control VLAN tags: all EAPS-enabled devices that share the same
Control VLAN, as identified by the VLAN tag, are determined to be members of the same domain.
Thus, if two independent EAPS domains in your network use the same Control VLAN tag, Ridgeline
will consider them to be a single EAPS domain.

EAPS Node Icons

EAPS status is shown on the map through icons displayed for each device node.
kinds of icons that can appear on an EAPS node.

EAPS Node Status
EAPS Domain Status
An EAPS node on a map has the following icons:
EAPS Node Status:
●
For an EAPS node the status display shows whether the device is a Master node (M) or Transit node
(T) within the EAPS domain.
Note that if a node is unreachable, the EAPS node status will reflect the last known node status—
thus a node that is unreachable may still display Master or Transit node status as green.
For a Master node:
A Green M indicates the domain is complete (all links are up and forwarding).
●
A Yellow M indicates the domain is in a transient or startup state, or in an unknown state (as
●
when the device is SNMP unreachable).
A Red M indicates the status is failed.
