APS messages. Use the no form to use the node identifier specified in the G8032
standards.

Command Usage
When ring nodes running ERPSv1 and ERPSv2 co-exist on the same ring, the
Ring ID of each ring node must be configured as “1”.
If this command is disabled, the following strings are used as the node
identifier:
ERPSv1: 01-19-A7-00-00-01
ERPSv2: 01-19-A7-00-00-[Ring ID]

Console(config-erps-inst)#
raps-without-vc This command terminates the R-APS channel at the primary ring to sub-ring
interconnection nodes. Use the no form to restore the default setting.
Syntax
[no] raps-without-vc
Default Setting
R-APS with Virtual Channel
Command Mode
ERPS Instance Configuration
Command Usage
A sub-ring may be attached to a primary ring with or without a virtual channel.
A virtual channel is used to connect two interconnection points on the sub-
ring, tunneling R-APS control messages across an arbitrary Ethernet network
topology. If a virtual channel is not used to cross the intermediate Ethernet
network, data in the traffic channel will still flow across the network, but the all
R-APS messages will be terminated at the interconnection points.
