Field Description
EAPS Enabled Current state of EAPS on this switch:
• Yes—EAPS is enabled on the switch.
• No—EAPS is not enabled.
EAPS Fast Convergence Displays only when Fast Convergence is on.
Number of EAPS instances Number of EAPS domains created. The maximum number of EAPS
domains per switch is 128.
Name The configured name for this EAPS domain.
State On a transit node, the command displays one of the following states:
• Idle—The EAPS domain has been enabled, but the configuration is
not complete.
• Links-Up—This EAPS domain is running, and both its ports are up
and in the forwarding state.
• Links-Down—This EAPS domain is running, but one or both of its
ports are down.
• Preforwarding—This EAPS domain is running, and both of its ports
are up, but one of them is in a temporary blocked state.
On a master node, the command displays one of the following states:
• Idle—The EAPS domain has been enabled, but the configuration is
not complete.
• Init—The EAPS domain has started but has not yet determined the
status of the ring. The secondary port is in a blocked state.
• Complete—The ring is in the complete state for this EAPS domain.
• Failed—There is a break in the ring for this EAPS domain.
• Pre-Init—The EAPS domain has started operation for Init state and
has sent a request to lower hardware layers to block the secondary
port. It is in transient state waiting for acknowledgement from
hardware layer indicating the operation is completed.
• Pre-Complete—The EAPS domain has started operation for
Complete state and has sent a request to lower hardware layers to
block the secondary port. It is in transient state waiting for
acknowledgement from the hardware layer indicating the operation is
completed.
• [Failtimer Expired]—When the failtimer expires and its action is set
to send-alert, this flag is set. This flag indicates there is a
misconfiguration or hardware problem in the EAPS ring. The EAPS
master node will continue to remain in COMPLETE or INIT state
with it’s secondary port blocking.
[Running: …] • Yes—This EAPS domain is running.
• No—This EAPS domain is not running.
Enabled Indicates whether EAPS is enabled on this domain:
• Y—EAPS is enabled on this domain.
• N—EAPS is not enabled.
Mode The configured EAPS mode for this switch: transit (T) or master (M).
Primary/Secondary port The port numbers assigned as the EAPS primary and secondary ports.
On the master node, the port distinction indicates which port is blocked
to avoid a loop.
