Adding an MRP ring to a VLAN
To add an MRP ring to a VLAN, enter commands such as the following.
NOTE
If you plan to use a topology group to add VLANs to the ring, make sure you configure MRP on the
topology group master VLAN.
PowerConnect(config)#vlan 2
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2)#metro-ring 1
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#name CustomerA
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#master
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#ring-interface ethernet 1/1 ethernet 1/2
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#enable
These commands configure an MRP ring on VLAN 2. The ring ID is 1, the ring name is CustomerA,
and this node (this Dell PowerConnect device) is the master for the ring. The ring interfaces are
1/1 and 1/2. Interface 1/1 is the primary interface and 1/2 is the secondary interface. The
primary interface will initiate RHPs by default. The ring takes effect in VLAN 2.
PowerConnect(config)#vlan 2
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2)#metro-ring 1
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#name CustomerA
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#ring-interface ethernet 1/1 ethernet 1/2
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#enable
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#metro-ring 2
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-2)#name CustomerB
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-2)#ring-interface ethernet 1/1 ethernet 1/2
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-2)#enable
Syntax: [no] metro-ring <ring id>
The <ring-id> parameter specifies the ring ID.The <ring-id> can be from 1 – 1023; ID 256 is
reserved for VSRP.
OnPowerConnect B-Series FCX devices, enter the metro-rings in addition to the metro-ring
command as shown below.
PowerConnect(config)#vlan 2
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2)#metro-rings 1 2
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2)#metro-ring 1
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#name CustomerA
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#ring-interface ethernet 1/1 ethernet 1/2
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#enable
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)#metro-ring 2
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-2)#name CustomerB
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-2)#ring-interface ethernet 1/1 ethernet 1/2
PowerConnect(config-vlan-2-mrp-2)#enable
Syntax: [no] metro-rings <ring id> <ring id>. . .
The <ring id> variables identify the metro rings you want to configure on the VLAN.
Syntax: [no] name <string>
The <string> parameter specifies a name for the ring. The name is optional, but it can be up to 20
characters long and can include blank spaces. If you use a name that has blank spaces, enclose
