Network Requirements
- Six devices in the LAN form two-level intersecting rings. Configure the EIPS hierarchical mode to block the secondary port gigabitethernet0/2 on Master and the edge port gigabitethernet0/3 on Transit 1 to achieve the ring protection.
- When the link between Transit1 and Transit2 is disconnected, unblock the STP blocked status for gigabitethernet0/2 on Master of the main ring to achieve data switchover and ensure the communications in Ring1 not affected.
- When the link between sTransit1 and sTransit2 is disconnected, unblock the STP blocked status for gigabitethernet0/3 on Transit1 to achieve data switchover and ensure the communications in Ring2 not affected.

Configuration Steps
Step 1: Configure VLAN and port link type.
#Create VLAN2 and VLAN3 on Master. Configure the link type of ports gigabitethernet0/1 and gigabitethernet0/2 as Trunk, permitting the services of VLAN2 and VLAN3 to pass. Configure the PVID as 1.
|
Master#configure terminal
Master(config)#vlan 2-3
Master(config)#interface gigabitethernet 0/1-0/2
Master(config-if-range)#switchport mode trunk
Master(config-if-range)#switchport trunk allowed vlan add 2-3
Master(config-if-range)#switchport trunk pvid vlan 1
|
#Map VLAN2 and VLAN3 on Master to the STP instance 0. Disable the STP on ports gigabitethernet0/1 and gigabitethernet0/2.
|
Master(config-if-range)#no spanning-tree enable
Master(config-if-range)#exit
|
#Create VLAN2 and VLAN3 on Transit1, and map VLAN2 and VLAN3 to the STP instance 0. Configure the link type of ports gigabitethernet0/1-gigabitethernet0/3 as Trunk, permitting the services of VLAN2 and VLAN3 to pass. Configure the PVID as 1. Disable the STP on ports gigabitethernet0/1-gigabitethernet0/3. (Omitted)
#Create VLAN2 and VLAN3 on Transit2, and map VLAN2 and VLAN3 to the STP instance 0. Configure the link type of ports gigabitethernet0/1-gigabitethernet0/3 as Trunk, permitting the services of VLAN2 and VLAN3 to pass. Configure the PVID as 1. Disable the STP on ports gigabitethernet0/1-gigabitethernet0/3. (Omitted)
#Create VLAN2 and VLAN3 on Transit3, and map VLAN2 and VLAN3 to the STP instance 0. Configure the link type of ports gigabitethernet0/1 and gigabitethernet0/2 as Trunk, permitting the services of VLAN2 and VLAN3 to pass. Configure the PVID as 1. Disable the STP on ports gigabitethernet0/1 and gigabitethernet0/2. (Omitted)
#Create VLAN2 and VLAN3 on sTransit1, and map VLAN2 and VLAN3 to the STP instance 0. Configure the link type of ports gigabitethernet0/1 and gigabitethernet0/2 as Trunk, permitting the services of VLAN2 and VLAN3 to pass. Configure the PVID as 1. Disable the STP on ports gigabitethernet0/1 and gigabitethernet0/2. (Omitted)
#Create VLAN2 and VLAN3 on sTransit2, and map VLAN2 and VLAN3 to the STP instance 0. Configure the link type of gigabitethernet0/1 and gigabitethernet0/2 as Trunk, permitting the services of VLAN2 and VLAN3 to pass. Configure the PVID as 1. Disable the STP on ports gigabitethernet0/1 and gigabitethernet0/2. (Omitted)
-
VLAN2 is the control VLAN, which is only used to transfer the EIPS protocol packets. VLAN3 is the data VLAN, which is used to transfer services.
- To enable the EIPS function, the control VLAN and data VLAN of the EIPS must be mapped to the corresponding STP instance and the STP function on the port must be disabled.
Step 2: Configure Ring1.
#Create the master node Ring1 in the hierarchical mode on Master. Configure the level number of the EIPS ring as 0, segment number as 0, instance as 0, control VLAN as VLAN2, primary port as gigabitethernet0/1, and secondary port as gigabitethernet0/2. Enable the EIPS.

Master(config)#eips ring 1 master segment
Master(config-eips)#control vlan 2
Master(config-eips)#level 0
Master(config-eips)#segment 0
Master(config-eips)#instance 0
Master(config-eips)#primary interface gigabitethernet 0/1
Master(config-eips)#secondary interface gigabitethernet 0/2
Master(config-eips)#eips start
Master(config-eips)#exit
|
#Create transmission node Ring1 in the hierarchical mode on Transit1. Configure the level number of the EIPS ring as 0, segment number as 0, instance as 0, control VLAN as VLAN2, primary port as gigabitethernet0/1, and secondary port as gigabitethernet0/2. Enable the EIPS. (Omitted).
# Create transmission node Ring1 in the hierarchical mode on Transit2. Configure the level number of the EIPS ring as 0, segment number as 0, instance as 0, control VLAN as VLAN2, primary port as gigabitethernet0/1, and secondary port as gigabitethernet0/2. Enable the EIPS. (Omitted).
# Create transmission node Ring1 in the hierarchical mode on Transit3. Configure the level number of the EIPS ring as 0, segment number as 0, instance as 0, control VLAN as VLAN2, primary port as gigabitethernet0/1, and secondary port as gigabitethernet0/2. Enable the EIPS. (Omitted).
Step 3: Configure Ring2.
#Create edge node Ring2 in the hierarchical mode on Transit1. Configure the level number of the EIPS ring as 1, segment number as 1, instance as 0, control VLAN as VLAN2, edge port as gigabitethernet0/3, and Ring1 as its associated transmission node. Enable the EIPS.
