configurations, you can enable traffic from different VLANs to travel over different paths in the subring

and primary ring, achieving intersecting-ring load balancing.

Protocols and standards

RFC 3619, Extreme Networks' Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS) Version 1 is related to

RRPP.

RRPP configuration task list

You can create RRPP domains based on service planning, specify control VLANs and data VLANs for

each RRPP domain, and then determine the ring roles and node roles based on the traffic paths in

each RRPP domain.

RRPP does not have an auto election mechanism, so you must configure each node in the ring network

correctly for RRPP to monitor and protect the ring network.

Before configuring RRPP, you must physically construct a ring-shaped Ethernet topology.

Complete the following tasks to configure RRPP:
