Page 3 | AlliedW are™ OS How T o Note: EPSR Ho w EPSR W orks Ho w EPSR W orks EPSR operates on ph ysical rings of switches (note, not on meshed netw orks). When all nodes and links in the ring are up , EPSR prev ents a loop by blocking data transmission acr oss one por t. When a node or link fails, EPSR detects the failure rapidly and responds b [...]

Page 4 | AlliedW are™ OS How T o Note: EPSR Ho w EPSR W orks Establishing a Ring Once y ou ha ve configur ed EPSR on the switches, the following ste ps complete the EPSR ring: 1. The master node creates an EPSR Health message and sends it out the primary por t. This incr ements the master node’ s T ransmit: Health counter in the sho w epsr coun[...]

Page 5 | AlliedW are™ OS How T o Note: EPSR Ho w EPSR W orks Detecting a Fault EPSR uses a fault detection sc heme that alerts the ring when a break occurs, instea d of using a spanning tree- lik e calculation to determin e the best path. The ring then automatically heals itself by sending traffic over a pr otected rev erse path. EPSR uses the fo[...]

During this period, the master node continues to se nd Health messages ov er the control VLAN. This situation continues until the faulty link or node is r epaired.
