Removing a PE Ring and Its Configuration
Note: For information on physical ring formation, refer to
Best practice for PE ring configuration.
Note: The PE ring can be broken into one or two chains while it is active using the
no multi-spx-port or
no multi-spx-lag command, or the ring can be physically disconnected first. The
no multi-spx-port and
no multi-spx-lag change SPX ports and SPX LAGs to data ports and put them in an administrative disabled
state. You can configure the
no disable or
enable command in interface configuration mode to enable them.
To remove a ring and its configuration, either issue the
no multi-spx-port or
no multi-spx-lag command, or physically disconnect the ring by removing all SPX links either between
the CB and a cascade PE unit, or between two PE units in the ring. You may also want
to remove the two SPX links on each of the edge PEs that are unused after the connection
is broken to allow the ports to be used as data ports.
The following procedure steps you through the physical removal of a PE ring using a typical example.

- Issue the

The configuration is unchanged. Both ends of the link are still SPX ports or SPX LAGs.
A SYSLOG message is generated to indicate the ring has been broken. You can also confirm the break with theshow spxandshow spx ringid commands.The following example shows breaking a ring by physically removing links. SPX port 20/2/3 and SPX port 27/2/3 configurations remain. If you use the other option of entering the commandno multi-spx-port 20/2/3 and 27/2/3, configuration for SPX port 20/2/3 and SPX port 27/2/3 is removed, and both ports are administratively disabled.
