config a ERPS ring

[Michael_Suggs1]

I have 5 x460's on a 10 gig ring that are running EAPS today with a MLX-8 switch on the same ring. I need to convert this ring to ERPS, does anyone have a working config I could pattern by. the more I study the doc's the more confused I get. my 460's are running 15.5.1.6, thanks for any suggestions.

So, is it possible to use ELSM instead of CFM for link status monitoring? It is way more simple to configure.

thanks for the reply, here is what I had so far, what im confused over is CFM configuration. do I even need CFM??

create vlan ERPS-Cntrl
config vlan ERPS-Cntrl tag 10
config vlan ERPS-Cntrl add port 29 31 tagged

create erps ERPS-10Gig
configure erps ERPS-10Gig add ring-ports west 31
configure erps ERPS-10Gig add ring-ports east 29
configure erps ERPS-10Gig add control “ERPS-Cntrl”
configure erps ERPS-10Gig add protected vlan “Internet”
configure erps ERPS-10Gig add protected vlan "Bms-Mgmt"
configure erps ERPS-10Gig add protected vlan "Video-10Gig"
configure erps ERPS-10Gig add protected vlan "Public-Servers"
configure erps ERPS-10Gig add protected vlan "BackChannel
configure erps ERPS-10Gig add protected vlan "MX-Mgt-Link
configure erps ERPS-10Gig add protection-port 29
configure erps ERPS-10Gig revert enabled wait-to-restore 500
enable erps ERPS-10Gig
enable erps

config erps ERPS-10Gig cfm md-level 6
config erps ERPS-10Gig cfm ccm-interval 3
config erps ERPS-10Gig cfm port east mepid 1
config erps ERPS-10Gig cfm port west mepid 2
enable erps ERPS-10Gig

Hello Michael,

ERPS is very similar to EAPS. I configured 4 switches awhile back in our lab with ERPS. I can share the ERPS module from the configuration. However please let me know if you have any specific questions regarding ERPS:

#
# Module vlan configuration
#
create vlan "data"
configure vlan data tag
create vlan "erps1"
configure vlan erps1 tag
create vlan "servers"
configure vlan servers tag
create vlan "users"
configure vlan users tag
configure vlan data add ports 1, 12 tagged
configure vlan erps1 add ports 1, 12 tagged
configure vlan servers add ports 1, 12 tagged
configure vlan users add ports 1, 12 tagged

#
# Module erps configuration
#

enable erps
create erps Ring-1
configure erps Ring-1 add control vlan erps1
configure erps Ring-1 ring-port east 1
configure erps Ring-1 ring-port west 12
configure erps Ring-1 protection-port 12
enable erps Ring-1
configure erps Ring-1 add protected vlan data
configure erps Ring-1 add protected vlan servers
configure erps Ring-1 add protected vlan users

I hope this helps. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist and again if you have any specific questions please post them here and I or someone else would be happy to assist.
