Usage Guidelines

The no form of the command returns a master node a normal node.

Any node on a metro ring that does not have a shared interface can be designated as the ring master node. A master node can be the master node of more than one ring. However, if all nodes on the ring have shared interfaces, a node that does not have tunnel ports can be designated as the master node of that ring. If none of the nodes meet these criteria, you must change the priorities of the ring by reconfiguring the ring ID.

Examples

The following example shows how to set a node as a master node.

device(config)# vlan 2
device(config-vlan-2)# metro-ring 1
device(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)# name CustomerA
device(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)# master
device(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)# ring-interface ethernet 1/1/1 ethernet 1/1/2
device(config-vlan-2-mrp-1)# enable
