MRP Configuration Example

This example shows how MRP works when one of the MRP node is configured as MRM and other nodes as MRC.

A typical MRP scenario is shown below:

Example 1

This topology consists of an MRM and two other MRC nodes.



The configuration steps for the as MRM and other two nodes as MRC are as follows:

  1. MRM Configuration for the .

    perform the following:

    
    							# configure terminal
    						
    
    							(config) # mrp enable
    						
    
    							(config)# mrp ringid 1
    						
    
    							(config)# vid 2
    						
    
    							(config-mrp)# mode manager port1 gigabitethernet 0/1 port2 gigabitethernet 0/2
    						
    
    							(config-mrp)#end
    						
  2. MRC Configuration in MicroRaptor.

    perform the following:

    
    							# configure terminal
    						
    
    							(config)# mrp enable
    						
    
    							(config)# mrp ringid 1
    						
    
    							(config)# vid 2
    						
    
    							(config-mrp)# mode client port1 gigabitethernet 0/9 port2 gigabitethernet 0/10
    						
    
    							(config-mrp)# end
    						
  3. How MRP Works when all MRP nodes are configured as MRA:

    Perform the following:

    Based on MRA election, one of MRP nodes becomes MRM and all other MRP nodes become MRC.





    • The configuration steps for the as MRA are:

    MRA Configuration in the with high Priority:

    
    							# configure terminal
    						
    
    							(config) mrp enable
    						
    
    							(config)# mrp ringid 1
    						
    
    							(config-mrp)# mode manager-autocomp port1 gigabitethernet 0/1 port2 gigabitethernet 0/2
    						
    
    							(config-mrp-manager)# priority 36864 
    						
    
    							(config-if)#end
    						

    MRA Configuration in MRC #1 with low priority:

    
    							# configure terminal
    						
    
    							(config)# mrp enable
    						
    
    							(config)# mrp ringid 1
    						
    
    							(config-mrp)# mode manager-autocomp port1 gigabitethernet 0/1 port2 gigabitethernet 0/2
    						
    
    							(config-mrp-manager)#priority 40964 
    						
    
    							(config-if)#end
    						
    Note:

    A high priority node has a the lowest priority value (e.g. the has a low priority value 36864). After election, the gets higher priority than the other two nodes and becomes MRM. The other two nodes become MRC.

  4. MRM Interconnection Configuration. To configure MRP Interconnect, first MRP Ring instance needs to be created and then mode is configured along with the ring ports under MRP Config mode.

    perform the following:

    
    							# configure terminal
    						
    
    							(config) # mrp-intconn interconnectionid 1						
    
    							(config - mrpintconn)# role mim in-port gigabitethernet 0/4
    						
  5. MRP Show Commands in the

    Perform the following:

    
    							# show mrp ringid  1
    						
    
    							# show mrp ringid  1 detail
    						
    
    							# show mrp counters
    						
    
    							# show mrp-intconn
    						
    
    							# show mrp-intconn counters
    						
  6. MRP Debug traces in the

    Perform the following:

    
    							# debug mrpring ?
    						
    
    							# debug mrpinterconnection all
    						
  7. MRP Syslog

    Perform the following:

    # configure terminal
    						
    (config)# logging local flash critical file syslog.log
    						
    (config)# logging severity critical
    						
    (config)# end
