Add new vlan in functionnal ERPS ring : Precaution

[naicoram01]

Hello,

I want to modify protected vlan by adding a new one in switchs configured with an ERPS ring and I want to know the risk with this modification and what precaution to have doing this configuration.

the switchs used in this ring is BD8810 and X690.

Thank you so much for your support guys.

Best regards,

Thank you Tomasz for your reply It’s clear.

Hi,

I think both should be fine as long as in first place you make sure that RPL Owner is already protecting the VLAN before all nodes are able to forward its frames. I’d recommend the second approach starting with RPL Owner.

Hope that helps,

Tomasz

Hi Tomasz, Hi to everyone who want to help 🙂

I was thinking about another detail; what about the tagging the vlan in the port used in the ERPS conf ? Do I have to tag the vlan and after add it as protected in the erps or the opposite, add the vlan as protected in the ERPS and tag it ?

configure vlan Vlan_NAME add ports 19-20 tagged
configure erps ERPS_Ring add protected vlan Vlan_NAME

OR

configure erps ERPS_Ring add protected vlan Vlan_NAME
configure vlan Vlan_NAME add ports 19-20 tagged

Thank you in advance for your reply.
