EAPS Commands

Description

Syntax Description
name
primary
secondary
ports
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
Each node on the ring connects through two ring ports. One port must be configured as the primary
port; the other must be configured as the secondary port.
The primary and secondary ports have significance only on a master node. The health-check messages
are sent out the primary port of the master node, and the master node blocks the protected VLANs on
the secondary port.
You cannot use the same port for the master node's secondary port and the shared-port. The master
node's secondary port must be different from the shared-port.
There is no distinction between the primary and secondary ports on a transit node.
Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS 11.1, if you have a primary or secondary port that is a member of a
load-shared group, you do not need to disable your EAPS domain and remove that ring port when
modifying the load-shared group. For more information about configuring load sharing on your switch,
see Chapter 5,
You must have a Core or an Advanced Core license to configure multiple EAPS domains with different
ring ports.
Example
The following command adds port 1 of the module installed in slot 8 to the EAPS domain "eaps_1" as
the primary port:
configure eaps eaps_1 primary port 8:1
908
