30.1.7 Settings related to mode and ring port (single ring and multi-ring configuration without shared link)

Figure 30-1: Single ring configuration shows the single ring configuration, and Figure 30-2: Multi-ring configuration without shared links shows the multi-ring configuration without shared links.

Figure 30-1: Single ring configuration

Figure 30-2: Multi-ring configuration without shared links

The mode and ring port settings for master nodes and transit nodes in a single ring configuration or multi-ring configuration without shared links are the same.

<Structure of this section>

(1) Master node

Points to note: Set the operating mode for the Switch to master mode in a ring. The Ethernet interface or port channel interface can be specified for a ring port. Set two ring ports for each ring. This applies to M3 nodes in Figure 30-1: Single-ring configuration, and to M1 and M6 nodes in Figure 30-2: Multi-ring configuration without shared links.

Command examples

(config)# axrp 2

(config-axrp)# mode master

Sets the operation mode for ring ID 2 to master mode.
(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

(config-if)# axrp-ring-port 2

(config-if)# exit

(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/0/2

(config-if)# axrp-ring-port 2

Switches to interface mode for ports 1/0/1 and 1/0/2 and configures the applicable interface as the ring port for the ring ID 2.

Notes: Only one interface can have the same ring ID for each member switch in the stack. Set the second ring port to the interface of another member switch.

(2) Transit node

Points to note: Set the operating mode for the Switch to transit mode in a ring. The Ethernet interface or port channel interface can be specified for a ring port. Set two ring ports for each ring. This applies to T1,T2 and T4 nodes in Figure 30-1: Single-ring configuration, and to T2,T3,T4,T5 and T7 nodes in Figure 30-2: Multi-ring configuration without shared links.

Command examples

(config)# axrp 2

(config-axrp)# mode transit

Sets the ring ID 2 operation mode to transit mode.
(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

(config-if)# axrp-ring-port 2

(config-if)# exit

(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/0/2

(config-if)# axrp-ring-port 2

Switches to interface mode for ports 1/0/1 and 1/0/2 and configures the applicable interface as the ring port for the ring ID 2.

Notes: Only one interface can have the same ring ID for each member switch in the stack. Set the second ring port to the interface of another member switch.
