Configuring EAPS
EAPS Review
ENS 15.1: Advanced Switch Operation and Configuration.
EAPS Configuration
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
