21 Settings and Operation for the Ring Protocol
(1) Transit node
Points to note
The operating mode can be set for the Switch to transit mode in a ring. The Ethernet
interface or port channel interface can be specified for a ring port. Set two ring ports
for each ring. The T1, T2, and T4 nodes in Figure 21-1 Single ring configuration, and
the T2, T3, T4, T5, and T7 nodes in Figure 21-2 Multi-ring configuration without
shared links correspond to this setting.
Command examples
1.
(config)# axrp 2
(config-axrp)# mode transit
(config-axrp)# exit
Sets the operating mode for ring ID 2 to transit mode.
2.
(config)# interface fastethernet 0/1
(config-if)# axrp-ring-port 2
(config-if)# exit
(config)# interface fastethernet 0/2
(config-if)# axrp-ring-port 2
(config-if)# exit
Switches to the interface mode for ports 0/1 and 0/2, and sets the target interface as
the ring port for ring ID 2.
21.1.8 Configuring modes and ring ports (for multi-ring configurations with
shared links)
This section gives the parameter setting patterns for modes and ring ports for multi-ring
configurations with shared links.
