Hi, I need some help with EAPS rings design. My network is working now as the next image shows.
In the last months we have implemented some redundancy links but not yet with EAPS rings, and now I want to do it because we have many clients that we give to them Layer 2 service and EAPS would help us a lot with the service quality. The physical connections are like the next image I show.
In the topology I show some switches BDCOMs that support also EAPS rings,I made a test that it works with Extremes but if any of you have experienced please share it with me.
I have designed other rings and I have divided Original ring 3 into ring 3 and ring 13, changing some Licenses of course. I showed this design int the last picture.
I havent found exact information about limitation of EAPS, I remember that I received a training and the teacher told us of a specific topology that EAPS cant work in, I dont remember how it was, so I want to ask you about the possibility of implementing the topology I am planning, , especially RING 8 and RING 9, If not possible I cant ask to change the liks to connect to another switch. All the switchs are located in different places.
Thanks in advance.

I think that this should work. I didn't checked all of the possible options but at first sight I now don't see any rule violations.
Make sure that none of the secondary ports point to an EAPS shared ports.
Basically Ring 6 is similar to Ring 5 and 8 with only one extra switch.
I see a brown dotted line between switch 2 and 5. I think that should no be there, right?
If possible, before deploying this, I should say that you perform a good couple of different fail-over tests to validate the different scenarios.

Hi Ron thankf for information, I have made a version 2 of my design where I have made new connectiont that I think are possible, removed some shared ports and delete R13 and show information about Masters, Controllers and Partners .
My doubt is about RING 6 (SW2-SW3-SW4-SW13) it will works fine? Or Id better ask for new connection with Sw5 or SW3 to make a new Ring?, apart from this, the rest of the topology is it ok?
