Layer 2 Switching Commands 467
Command Mode
Ethernet Ring Configuration mode
User Guidelines
Each ring node can participate in eight physical rings and each ring can have
up to two Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP) instances. The total number of
instances supported on a ring node are two. Each ERP instance is uniquely
identified by the combination of instance ID and R-APS VLAN ID. All the
ring nodes that are part of a logical ring should have the same instance ID and
R-APS VLAN ID. The instance ID is copied into the last octet of destination
MAC address of a Standard L2/L3 frame which is used to carry R-APS PDUs
in Ethernet networks.

This example configures a closed ring node for interface Te1/0/1.
