EAPS Provides:
Sub 50 millisecond failover which is virtually undetectable by end-users Easy to setup and understand
Point and click provisioning from within Ridgeline Simple configuration steps from within the CLI

For every EAPS domain, a control VLAN needs to be created to carry all EAPS control traffic.
An EAPS domain can contain several protected VLANs.

Each switch (node) will examine the hello packet and then forward the packet to its neighbor switch through the ring port that did not receive the packet EAPS packets are sent with an 802.1p value of 7 (QP8) EAPS hello packets contain the following information:
Packet type
Health, Link Down, Links Up (Pre-Forwarding), Flush FDB
Control VLAN ID Originators system MAC address Hello fail timer value Domain state
Complete, Failed
EAPS Operation
The master node transmits hello packets within the control VLAN every second
Defined by the EAPS domains hello timer
Default is 1 second Values are from 100 milliseconds to 15 seconds

The master continues to transmit hello packets and waits until it receives a hello packet before it declares the domain complete
The master then blocks its secondary port and sends a flush FDB packet and then continues to transmit hello packets

EAPS Configuration
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Create an EAPS domain Configure one switch as a master node. All other switches will be transit nodes Configure the primary port and secondary port for each switch Add the designated control VLAN to the EAPS domain Add the protected VLANs to the EAPS domain Enable the EAPS domain Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each EAPS domain required Finally enable EAPS globally
