Creating MS-SPRings
Figure 5-24 Setting MS-SPRing properties
•
Ring Type—Select the MS-SPRing ring type, either two-fiber or four-fiber.
• Ring ID—Assign a ring ID (a number between 0 and 9999). Nodes in the same MS-SPRing must
have the same Ring ID.
• Node ID—Assign a Node ID. The Node ID identifies the node to the MS-SPRing. Nodes in the same
MS-SPRing must have unique Node IDs.
• Ring Reversion—Set the amount of time that will pass before the traffic reverts to the original
working path. The default is 5 minutes. All nodes in an MS-SPRing ring should have the same ring
reversion setting, particularly if “never” (i.e., non-revertive) is selected.
• West Port—Assign the west MS-SPRing port for the node.
• East Port—Assign the east MS-SPRing port for the node.
Note The east and west ports must match the fiber connections and DCC terminations set up in the
“Install the MS-SPRing Trunk Cards” procedure on page 5-25 and the “Create the
MS-SPRing DCC Terminations” procedure on page 5-27.
For four-fiber MS-SPRings, complete the following:
• Span Reversion—Choose the amount of time that will elapse before the traffic reverts to the original
working path following a traffic failure. The default is 5 minutes. Span reversions can be set to
Never. If you set a ring reversion time, the times must be the same for both ends of the span. That
is, if Node A’s west fiber is connected to Node B’s east port, the Node A west span reversion time
must be the same as the Node B east span reversion time.
Note To avoid reversion time mismatches, Cisco recommends that you use the same span reversion
time throughout the ring.
