Define Instance for service.

Define ERPI and East West for each service point.
Define WTR (Wait to Restore) Time.
Define RPL (Ring Protection Link).
Logical Interface configuration.
CIST Configuration.

Note: - Step 1 to Step 4 Configuration must be done via CLI.

Define Instance for Service

We have to configure the same service with the same service ID in entire network. In this
Service must be used the same VLAN in entire Network.
As we are using 2 Different service in our network i.e. first is for Traffic and second is for OAM.
So we add two different instance (one for each service ID).
#Traffic
ethernet generalcfg instance-to-service-mapping set service sid 1 instance-id 1
#OAM
ethernet generalcfg instance-to-service-mapping set service sid 2 instance-id 2

Define ERPI and East West for each service point

For each service, there must be one ERPI (Ethernet ring protection ID) and 2 service point
contributing in the ring. Mark one service as east and second as west.

Note: - if one service point is east at near end then the service point connect to it via radio at
far end must be west. Refer above attached diagram.
In our scenario we have two different services so we have to define one ERPI and one east west
for each service.
#Traffic
ethernet g8032 create-erpi erp-type ring erpi-id 1 erpi-service-id 1 west-sp 1 east-sp 2 level 0
version 2
#OAM
ethernet g8032 create-erpi erp-type ring erpi-id 2 erpi-service-id 2 west-sp 1 east-sp 2 level 0
version 2

Define WTR (Wait to Restore) Time

WTR is counting the time until will switch back to idle state. The value must be vary from 1 to
5min.

#Traffic
ethernet g8032 set-wtr erpi-id 1 wtr 1
#OAM
ethernet g8032 set-wtr erpi-id 2 wtr 1

Define RPL (Ring Protection Link)

In G.8032 we will define RPL which represent Protection path when something happen with
regular path. The advantage is that user can define where will be the RPL. The link blocked by
the RPL owner node is called the Ring Protection Link or RPL.
In each instance, RPL owner may be different.
In our scenario we have taken Service point 2(East) of Site A as RPL owner for both the services
(Traffic and OAM). So this configuration is only done at Site A.
#Traffic
ethernet g8032 set-rpl-owner erpi-id 1 SP east
#OAM
ethernet g8032 set-rpl-owner erpi-id 2 SP east

Note: - When the inband is enable and both the service point participating in ring are also
define in Inband (1025). Please enable MSTP also.

Logical Interface configuration

Login IDU. Go to EthernetInterfacesLogical Interfaces.
Configure all ports that are not part of the ring as edge ports i.e. all ports except 2 Radio ports
which are part of ring must be Edge.

CIST Configuration
Login IDU. Go to EthernetProtocolsMSTPPortCIST.
Configure all ports that are not part of the ring as edge ports i.e. all ports except 2 Radio ports
which are part of ring must be Edge. Use true for enable and false for disable.
