HSR-PRP Configuration

The chapter outlines how to configure HSR-PRP.

Use the following commands for HSR-PRP Configuration.

  1. Each redundant interface can be configured by proceeding to redundant interface configuration mode.

    Proceeding to redundant interface 5 is as follows:

    • Enter the Global Configuration Mode.
    iS5comm# configure terminal
    • Enter Redundant Interface Configuration Mode for redundant interface 5.
    iS5comm (config)# interface redundant 5
    iS5comm(config-if-red5)# 

    • From here redundant HSR/PRP configurations can be changed as required. By default, the redundant interfaces are not enabled as they can be connected to HSR, PRP, or normal networks that can have different frame formats that can be incompatible. To connect to an HSR ring, the following command sequence can be used.
    iS5comm (config)# interface redundant 5
    iS5comm(config-if-red5)# shutdown
    iS5comm(config-if-red5)# mode hsr
    iS5comm(config-if-red5)# no shutdown
    iS5comm(config-if-red5)# 

    • And similarly, the following command sequence can be used to a PRP network.
    iS5comm (config)# interface redundant 5
    iS5comm(config-if-red5)# shutdown
    iS5comm(config-if-red5)# mode prp
    iS5comm(config-if-red5)# no shutdown

    Other modes such as HSR-PRP coupling and HSR-HSR QuadBox and more are also available and are documented in the CLI User Manual.

  2. To verify HSR/PRP configuration, connectivity, and operational status, use the following top level CLI commands.

    Type the following.

    • A summary of the Port-A and Port-B status and the connectivity to the main switch can be obtained with the show interfaces status command.
    iS5comm# show interfaces status



    • The configuration and some of the status can be verified with the following command.
    iS5comm# show interfaces redundant configuration



    • Counters can be used to verify if traffic is flowing through the redundant network and indicate if there are any problems.
    iS5comm# show interfaces counters redundant



    • The nodes table provides information of other nodes connected to the redundant network. To display the node table information, use the following command.
    iS5comm# show interfaces redundant node-table



    • The Proxy Node Table provides information on nodes that the redundant interfaces are representing on the redundant network. To display the proxy node table information, use the following command.
    iS5comm# show interfaces redundant proxy-node-table



    • As the HSR/PRP line card supports both RJ45 and SFP connectivity, the show interfaces redundant mapping command can be used to check which physical port to connect to the network.
    iS5comm# show interfaces redundant mapping
