28.1.8 Settings related to mode and ring port (multi-ring configuration with shared link)

(a) Transit node of the shared link monitoring ring

This is the same as transit nodes for a single ring. [28.1.7 See Mode and Ring Port Settings (Single Ring and Multi-Ring Configuration Without Shared Link) (1) Transit Node. This applies to T2,T4 and T5 in Figure 28-3: Multi-ring configuration with shared links (basic configuration).

(a) Shared in-link nodes (transits) of shared link non-monitoring rings

Points to note

Set the operating mode for the Switch to transit mode in a ring. Fig. 28-4: Multi-ring configuration with shared links (extended configuration) corresponds to S7 configuration. The shared parameter is specified for both ring ports, and they are set as the shared port. In Figure 28-4: Multi-ring configuration with shared links (extended configuration), this applies to the ring port [R3] of S7 node.

Command examples

1. (config)# axrp 1

   (config-axrp)# mode transit

2. (config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

   (config-if)# axrp-ring-port 1 shared

   (config-if)# exit

   (config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/0/2

   (config-if)# axrp-ring-port 1 shared

   Switches to the interface mode for ports 1/0/1 and 1/0/2, and sets the target interface as the shared link port for ring ID 1.
