How i can connect those switches?

[gbs]

Hi again,

I have a new scenario.

Today we have this link between BD and "A" and a eaps ring. (A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-A) "A" is the master.

Is it possible to pass this new link between BD and "D"? (the red one)

I think that i will need to make another EAPS:
(D-BD-A-B-C-D) "D" should be the master of this eaps.

and a third ring will be needed? (BD-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-A-BD) with BD as master?

How can i do that? Today the link between "BD - A" is a common link, no eaps, no nothing else. How can i do "BD - D" as backup of "BD - A" ?

This surely will solve my problem!

Hi,

I do not know if that topology is supported, because the two rings A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-A and D-BD-A-B-C-D overlap on more than one common link (the overlap is A-B-C-D). EAPSv2 allows the use of one common link for several EAPS domains.

If you connected BD to e.g. B and C, you would have a usual EAPS common link topology, with a new EAPS ring BD-B-C-BD and the common link B-C.

Thanks,
Erik
