Describes how to establish Ethernet ring protection switching for network redundancy. This process ensures fast recovery from link failures by configuring ring profiles, interface assignments, and CFM domain settings.
G.8032 rings provide protection switching for Ethernet ring topologies.
Summary
This process involves these key components:
-
Ring profile: The ring profile defines the core parameters for the G.8032 ring.
-
Interfaces: You assign physical ports to the ring for traffic forwarding.
-
CFM domain: You manage fault detection and notification settings.
Workflow
The process involves the following stages:
- Initial setup and profile creation:
- Create the G.8032 ring profile.
- Ensure interfaces are administratively shut before assignment.
- Ring and port configuration:
- Configure the G.8032 ring and associated ports.
- Configure the profile, VLAN inclusion list, and other instance-related configuration.
- Fault detection and activation:
- Configure the CFM domain at level 1 and enable EFD notification.
- Apply VLAN and CFM configurations to the ring ports.
- Use the no shutdown command to bring up the ports.
