RRPP - Single Ring Config

If you want to read up on the basics of RRPP please go here.

RRPP is our implementation of EAPS...you can read here.

RRPP is a ethernet ring based topology that does not use STP.  Here's a simple config for a single ring.  One device must be the master and the other nodes in the ring can be transient nodes.  The master config


rrpp domain 1
 control-vlan 4000
 protected-vlan reference-instance 0
 fast-detection enable
 timer fast-fail-timer 300
 timer fast-hello-timer 100
 ring 1 node-mode master primary-port GigabitEthernet1/0/1 secondary-port GigabitEthernet2/0/1 level 0
 ring 1 enable
#
 rrpp enable

The primary & secondary ports must be setup as "trunks".

Transit node config:


rrpp domain 1
 control-vlan 4000
 protected-vlan reference-instance 0
 ring 1 node-mode transit primary-port GigabitEthernet1/0/31 secondary-port GigabitEthernet1/0/32 level 0
 ring 1 enable

#

rrpp enable

In the future, I'll post some more advanced configs.  One in particular that would be worth trying is vlan load sharing within RRPP.
