ESRP Commands

configure esrp elrp-premaster-poll enable

configure esrp <esrpDomain> elrp-premaster-poll enable {count <count> |
interval <interval>}
Description
Enables the use of ELRP by ESRP in the pre-master state, and configures how many times the switch
sends ELRP PDUs and how often the switch sends ELRP PDUS in the pre-master state.
Syntax Description
esrpDomain
count
interval
Default
Use of ELRP in the pre-master state—disabled
●
Count—3 times
●
Interval—1 second

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to enable the use of ELRP by ESRP in the pre-master state to prevent network loops
from occurring. When an ESRP-enabled switch is in the pre-master state (waiting to become the master),
and you enable elrp-premaster-poll, the switch periodically sends ELRP PDUs at the configure level for
a specified number of times. If there is a loop in the network, the transmitted PDUs are received by the
switch. If this happens, the ESRP pre-master switch does not transition to the master state; rather, the
switch transitions to the slave state.
Extreme Networks recommends that you enable both premaster and master polling when using ELRP
with ESRP. To enable master polling, use the
enable {interval <interval>}
If you attempt to configure master polling before premaster polling, the switch displays an error
message similar to the following:
ERROR: Premaster-poll should be enabled before enabling master-poll!
If this happens, first configure premaster polling followed by master polling (if required).
If you do not specify the optional
If the sender does not receive packets, there is no loop in the network.
