24.1 Brief introduction of ERRP
ERRP(Ethernet Ring Redundancy Protocol) is the private Ethernet ring protocol of QTECH which is used to
protect real-time service (video/voice delay sessitive service). The basic working theory is many switches serial
connect to be ring to provide link redundancy, and a master device detects/maintains the ring. The master device
provides redundant port which can release redundant port when the ring break down to guarantee the service smooth.
The calculation is less, so the convergency is faster than STP.
24.2 ERRP Overview
Ethernet Ring Redundancy Protocol (ERRP) is an Ethernet ring-specific link layer protocol. It can not only
prevent data loop from causing broadcast storm efficiently when the Ethernet ring is complete, but also restore
communication channels among nodes on the Ethernet ring rapidly when a link is torn down.
Compared with Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), ERRP features :
Expedited topology convergence
Independent of the number of nodes on the Ethernet ring

24.3.1 ERRP domain
The interconnected devices with the same domain ID and control VLANs constitute an ERRP domain. An
ERRP domain contains multiple ERRP rings, in which one ring serves as the primary ring and other rings serve as
subrings. You can set a ring as either the primary ring or a subring.
As shown in Figure 1, Domain 1 is an ERRP domain, including two ERRP rings : Ring 1 and Ring 2. All
the nodes on the two ERRP rings belong to the ERRP domain.
