ITU-T G.
8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Switching

The ITU-T G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Switching feature implements protection switching mechanisms
for Ethernet layer ring topologies. This feature uses the G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP) protocol,
defined in ITU-T G.8032, to provide protection for Ethernet traffic in a ring topology, while ensuring that
no loops are within the ring at the Ethernet layer. The loops are prevented by blocking traffic on either a
predetermined link or a failed link.

About ITU-T G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Switching
Ring Protection Links
An Ethernet ring consists of multiple Ethernet ring nodes. Each Ethernet ring node is connected to adjacent
Ethernet ring nodes using two independent ring links. A ring link prohibits formation of loops that affect the
network. The Ethernet ring uses a specific link to protect the entire Ethernet ring. This specific link is called
the Ring Protection Link (RPL). A ring link is bound by two adjacent Ethernet ring nodes and a port for a
ring link (also known as a ring port). There must be at least two Ethernet ring nodes in a Ethernet ring.
ITU-T G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Switching Functionality
The Ethernet ring protection functionality includes the following:
Loop avoidance
The use of learning, forwarding, and Filtering Database (FDB) mechanisms
Loop avoidance in an Ethernet ring is achieved by ensuring that, at any time, traffic flows on all but the Ring
Protection Link (RPL).
The following is a list of RPL types (or RPL nodes) and their functions:
RPL ownerResponsible for blocking traffic over the RPL so that no loops are formed in the Ethernet
traffic. There can be only one RPL owner in a ring.
RPL neighbor nodeAn Ethernet ring node adjacent to the RPL. It is responsible for blocking its end
of the RPL under normal conditions. This node type is optional and prevents RPL usage when protected.
RPL next-neighbor nodeNext-neighbor node is an Ethernet ring node adjacent to an RPL owner node
or RPL neighbor node. It is mainly used for FDB flush optimization on the ring. This node is also
optional.

About ITU-T G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Switching
The following figure illustrates the G.8032 Ethernet ring topology.
Figure 1: G.8032 Ethernet Ring Topology
R-APS Control Messages
Nodes on the ring use control messages called Ring Automatic Protection Switching (R-APS) messages to
coordinate the activities of switching the ring protection link (RPL) on and off. Any failure along the ring
triggers a R-APS Signal Failure (R-APS SF) message in both directions of the nodes adjacent to the failed
link, after the nodes have blocked the port facing the failed link. On obtaining this message, the RPL owner
unblocks the RPL port.
A single link failure in the ring ensures a loop-free topology. Note
CFM Protocols and Link Failures
Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) and line status messages are used to detect ring link and node failure.
During the recovery phase, when the failed link is restored, the nodes adjacent to the restored link send Ring
Automatic Protection Switching (R-APS) No Request (R-APS NR) messages. On obtaining this message, the
ring protection link (RPL) owner blocks the RPL port and sends R-APS NR and R-APS RPL (R-APS NR,
RB) messages. These messages cause all other nodes, other than the RPL owner in the ring, to unblock all
blocked ports. The Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP) protocol works for both unidirectional failure and multiple
link failure scenarios in a ring topology.
The G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP) protocol uses CFM Continuity Check Messages (CCMs) at
an interval of 3.3 milliseconds (ms). At this interval (which is supported only on selected platforms),
SONET-like switching time performance and loop-free traffic can be achieved.

R-APS Control Messages
G.8032 Ring-Supported Commands and Functionality
A G.8032 ring supports these basic operator administrative commands:
Force switch (FS)Allows the operator to forcefully block a particular ring port. Note the following
points about FS commands:
Effective even if there is an existing SF condition
Multiple FS commands for ring are supported
May be used to allow immediate maintenance operations
Manual switch (MS)Allows the operator to manually block a particular ring port. Note the following
points about MS commands:
Ineffective in an existing FS or signal failure (SF) condition
Overridden by new FS or SF conditions
Multiple MS commands cancel all MS commands
ClearCancels an existing FS or MS command on the ring port. The Clear command is used at the ring
protection link (RPL) owner to clear a nonrevertive mode condition.
A G.8032 ring can support multiple instances. An instance is a logical ring running over a physical ring. Such
instances are used for various reasons, such as load-balancing VLANs over a ring. For example, odd-numbered
VLANs may go in one direction of the ring, and even-numbered VLANs may go in the other direction. Specific
VLANs can be configured under only one instance. They cannot overlap multiple instances. Otherwise, data
traffic or Ring Automatic Protection Switching (R-APS) messages may cross logical rings, which is not
desirable.
G.8032 ERP Timers
The G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP) protocol specifies the use of different timers to avoid race
conditions and unnecessary switching operations:
Delay timersUsed by the Ring Protection Link (RPL) owner to verify that the network has stabilized
before blocking the RPL. Note the following points about delay timers.
After a signal failure (SF) condition, a Wait-to-Restore (WTR) timer is used to verify that the SF
is not intermittent.
The WTR timer can be configured by the operator. The default time interval is 5 minutes; the time
interval ranges from 1 to 12 minutes.
After a force switch (FS) or a manual switch (MS) command is issued, a Wait-to-Block (WTB)
timer is used to verify that no background condition exists.
The WTB timer interval may be shorter than the WTR timer interval. Note
4
G.8032 Ring-Supported Commands and Functionality
Guard timerUsed by all nodes when changing state; the guard timer blocks latent outdated messages
from causing unnecessary state changes. The guard timer can be configured. The default time interval
is 500 ms; the time interval ranges from 10 to 2000 ms.
Hold-off timersUsed by the underlying Ethernet layer to filter out intermittent link faults. The hold-off
timer can be configured. The default time interval is 0 seconds; the time interval ranges from 0 to 10
seconds. Faults are reported to the ring protection mechanism only if this timer expires.
Protection Switching Functionality in a Single Link Failure and Recovery
The following figure illustrates protection switching functionality in a single-link failure.
Figure 2: G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Switching in a Single-Link Failure
The figure represents an Ethernet ring topology consisting of seven Ethernet ring nodes. The ring protection
link (RPL) is the ring link between Ethernet ring nodes A and G. In this topology, both ends of the RPL are
blocked. Ethernet ring node G is the RPL owner node, and Ethernet ring node A is the RPL neighbor node.
The following sequence describes the steps followed in the single-link failure:
1 A link operates in the normal condition.
2 A failure occurs.
5
3 Ethernet ring nodes Cand Ddetect a local signal failure (SF) condition and after the hold-off time interval,
block the failed ring port and perform the FDB flush.
4 Ethernet ring nodes C and D start sending Ring Automatic Protection Switching (R-APS) SF messages
periodically along with the (node ID and bidirectional path-protected ring (BPR) identifier pair) on both
ring ports while the SF condition persists.
5 All Ethernet ring nodes receiving an R-APS SF message perform the FDB flush. When the RPL owner
node G and RPL neighbor node A receive an R-APS SF message, the Ethernet ring node unblocks its end
of the RPL and performs the FDB flush.
6 All Ethernet ring nodes receiving a second R-APS SF message performthe FDBflush again; the additional
FDB flush is because of the node ID and BPR-based configuration.
7 R-APS SF messages are detected on the Ethernet Ring indicating a stable SF condition. Further R-APS
SF messages trigger no further action.
The following figure illustrates the steps taken in a revertive operation in a single-link failure.
Figure 3: Single-Link Failure Recovery (Revertive Operation)
The following sequence describes the steps followed in the single-link failure revertive (recovery) operation:
1 A link operates in the stable SF condition.
2 Recovery of link failure occurs.
3 Ethernet ring nodes C and D detect clearing of the SF condition, start the guard timer, and initiate periodic
transmission of the R-APS No Request (NR) messages on both ring ports. (The guard timer prevents the
reception of R-APS messages.)
6
4 When the Ethernet ring nodes receive an R-APS NR message, the node ID and BPR identifier pair of a
receiving ring port is deleted and the RPL owner node starts the Wait-to-Restore (WTR) timer.
5 When the guard timer expires on Ethernet ring nodes C and D, the nodes may accept the new R-APS
messages, if any. Ethernet ring node Dreceives an R-APS NRmessage with a higher node IDfromEthernet
ring node C, and unblocks its nonfailed ring port.
6 When the WTR timer expires, the RPL owner node blocks its end of the RPL, sends R-APS (NR or route
blocked [RB]) message with the (node ID and BPR identifier pair), and performs the FDB flush.
7 When Ethernet ring node C receives an R-APS (NR or RB) message, the node removes the block on its
blocked ring ports, and stops sending R-APS NR messages. On the other hand, when the RPL neighbor
node A receives an R-APS NR or RB message, the node blocks its end of the RPL. In addition, Ethernet
ring nodes A to F perform the FDB flush when receiving an RAPS NR or RB message because of the
node ID and BPR-based configuration.
Ethernet Flow Points
An Ethernet Flow Point (EFP) is a forwarding decision point in the provider edge (PE) router, which gives
network designers flexibility to make many Layer 2 flow decisions within the interface. Many EFPs can be
configured on a single physical port. (The number varies from one device to another.) EFPs are the logical
demarcation points of an Ethernet virtual connection (EVC) on an interface. An EVC that uses two or more
user network interfaces (UNIs) requires an EFP on the associated ingress and egress interfaces of every device
that the EVC passes through.
EFPs can be configured on any Layer 2 traffic port; however, they are usually configured on UNI ports. The
following parameters (matching criterion) can be configured on the EFP:
Frames of a specific VLAN, a VLAN range, or a list of VLANs (100-150 or 100,103,110)
Frames with no tags (untagged).
Frames with identical double-tags (VLAN tags) as specified.
Frames with identical Class of Service (CoS) values.
A frame passes each configured match criteria until the correct matching point is found. If a frame does not
fit any of the matching criteria, it is dropped. Default criteria can be configured to avoid dropping frames.
Note the following points about the kinds of commands that can be used in an EFP:
Rewrite commandsIn each EFP, VLAN tag management can be specified with the following actions:
Pop1) pops out a tag; 2) pops out two tags.
Push1) pushes in a tag; 2) pushes in two tags.
Translate1 to 1) changes a tag value; 1 to 2) pops one tag and pushes two tags; 2 to 1) pops two
tags and pushes one tag; 2 to 2) changes the value for two tags.
Forwarding commandsEach EFP specifies the forwarding command for the frames that enter the EFP.
Only one forwarding command can be configured per EFP. The forwarding options are as follows:
Layer 2 point-to-point forwarding to a pseudowire tunnel.
Multipoint bridge-forwarding to a bridge domain entity.
7
Ethernet Flow Points
Local switch-to-switch forwarding between two different interfaces.
Feature commandsIn each EFP, the QoS features or parameters can be changed and the ACL can be
updated.
Service Instances and Associated EFPs
Configuring a service instance on a Layer 2 port creates a pseudoport or EFP on which you configure EVC
features. Each service instance has a unique number per interface, but you can use the same number on different
interfaces because service instances on different ports are not related.
An EFP classifies frames from the same physical port to one of the multiple service instances associated with
that port, based on user-defined criteria. Each EFP can be associated with different forwarding actions and
behavior.
When an EFP is created, the initial state is UP. The state changes to DOWNunder the following circumstances:
The EFP is explicitly shut down by a user.
The main interface to which the EFP is associated is down or removed.
If the EFP belongs to a bridge domain, the bridge domain is down.
The EFP is forced down as an error-prevention measure of certain features.
Use the service instance ethernet interface configuration command to create an EFP on a Layer 2 interface
and to enter service instance configuration mode. Service instance configuration mode is used to configure
all management and control data plane attributes and parameters that apply to the service instance on a
per-interface basis. The service instance number is the EFP identifier.
After the device enters service instance configuration mode, you can configure these options:
default--Sets a command to its defaults
description--Adds a service instance-specific description
encapsulation--Configures Ethernet frame match criteria
exit--Exits from service instance configuration mode
no--Negates a command or sets its defaults
shutdown--Takes the service instance out of service
