Creating the RPR-IEEE Interface and Bridge Group
The plug-n-play feature of RPR-IEEE automatically discovers topology and advertises station
capabilities. This allows ML-Series cards to become operational without manual intervention when the
ML-Series card is in 802.17 mode and the SONET/SDH circuits are configured. Unlike Cisco
proprietary RPR, RPR-IEEE does not require the user to configure POS interfaces.
The additional Cisco IOS CLI provisioning needed to set up basic, functional RPR is straightforward.
The user needs to complete these tasks:
