Commands on Switch A (master node)
The following commands configure a VLAN for the ring. The ring VLAN must contain both of the
node interfaces with the ring. Add these interfaces as tagged interfaces, since the interfaces also
must be in each of the customer VLANs configured on the node.
PowerConnect(config)# vlan 2
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2)# tag ethernet 1 to 2
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2)# metro-ring 1
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)# name “Metro A”
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)# master
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)# ring-interface ethernet 1 ethernet 2
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)# enable
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)# exit
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2)# exit
The following commands configure the customer VLANs. The customer VLANs must contain both
the ring interfaces as well as the customer interfaces.
PowerConnect(config)# vlan 30
PowerConnect(config-vlan-30)# tag ethernet 1 to 2
PowerConnect(config-vlan-30)# tag ethernet 3
PowerConnect(config-vlan-30)# exit
PowerConnect(config)#vlan 40
PowerConnect(config-vlan-40)# tag ethernet 1 to 2
PowerConnect(config-vlan-40)# tag ethernet 4
PowerConnect(config-vlan-40)# exit
The following commands configure topology group 1 on VLAN 2. The master VLAN is the one that
contains the MRP configuration. The member VLANs use the MRP parameters of the master VLAN.
The control interfaces (the ones shared by the master VLAN and member VLAN) also share MRP
state.
PowerConnect(config)# topology-group 1
PowerConnect(config-topo-group-1)# master-vlan 2
PowerConnect(config-topo-group-1)# member-vlan 30
PowerConnect(config-topo-group-1)# member-vlan 40
Commands on Switch B
The commands for configuring Switches B, C, and D are similar to the commands for configuring
Switch A, with two differences: the nodes are not configured to be the ring master. Omitting the
master command is required for non-master nodes.
PowerConnect(config)# vlan 2
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2)# tag ethernet 1 to 2
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2)# metro-ring 1
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)# name “Metro A”
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)# ring-interface ethernet 1 ethernet 2
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)# enable
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2)# exit
PowerConnect(config)#vlan 30
PowerConnect(config-vlan-30)# tag ethernet 1 to 2
PowerConnect(config-vlan-30)# tag ethernet 3
PowerConnect(config-vlan-30)# exit
PowerConnect(config)#vlan 40
PowerConnect(config-vlan-40)# tag ethernet 1 to 2
PowerConnect(config-vlan-40)# tag ethernet 4
PowerConnect(config-vlan-40)# exit
