Each switch (node) will examine the hello packet and then forward the packet
to its neighbor switch through the ring port that did not receive the packet
EAPS packets are sent with an 802.1p value of 7 (QP8)
EAPS hello packets contain the following information:
Packet type
- Health, Link Down, Links Up (Pre-Forwarding), Flush FDB
Control VLAN ID
Originators system MAC address
Hello fail timer value
Domain state
- Complete, Failed

Configuring EAPS
EAPS
17
Ensure any VLANs to be protected by EAPS contain the tagged ring ports for
each domain created
2.
Create a control VLAN for each domain and ensure they contain the tagged ring
ports for each specific domain (Maximum of 2 ports in each control VLAN)
EAPS Configuration
1.
2.
Configure one switch as a master node. All other switches will be transit nodes
3.
Configure the primary port and secondary port for each switch
