Displaying MRP information

You can display the following MRP information:

  • Topology group configuration information
  • Ring configuration information and statistics

Topology group configuration information

To display topology group information, enter the following command.

Syntax: show topology-group [group-id]

Refer toDisplaying topology group information for more information.

Ring configuration information and statistics

To display ring information, enter the following command.

device#show metro

This display shows the following information.

Table 4 CLI display of MRP ring information

Field

Description

Ring id

The ring ID

State

The state of MRP. The state can be one of the following:

  • enabled - MRP is enabled
  • disabled - MRP is disabled

Ring role

Whether this node is the master for the ring. The role can be one of the following:

  • master
  • member

Master vlan

The ID of the master VLAN in the topology group used by this ring. If a topology group is used by MRP, the master VLAN controls the MRP settings for all VLANs in the topology group.

NOTE
The topology group ID is 0 if the MRP VLAN is not the master VLAN in a topology group. Using a topology group for MRP configuration is optional.

Topo group

The topology group ID.

Hello time

The interval, in milliseconds, at which the Forwarding port on the ring master node sends Ring Hello Packets (RHPs).

Prefwing time

The number of milliseconds an MRP interface that has entered the Preforwarding state will wait before changing to the Forwarding state.

If a member port in the Preforwarding state does not receive an RHP within the Preforwarding time (Prefwing time), the port assumes that a topology change has occurred and changes to the Forwarding state.

The secondary port on the Master node changes to Blocking if it receives an RHP, but changes to Forwarding if the port does not receive an RHP before the preforwarding time expires.

NOTE
A member node Preforwarding interface also changes from Preforwarding to Forwarding if it receives an RHP whose forwarding bit is on.

Ring interfaces

The device two interfaces with the ring.

NOTE
If the interfaces are trunk groups, only the primary ports of the groups are listed.

Interface role

The interface role can be one of the following:

  • primary
    • Master node - The interface generates RHPs.
    • Member node - The interface forwards RHPs received on the other interface (the secondary interface).
  • secondary - The interface does not generate RHPs.
    • Master node - The interface listens for RHPs.
    • Member node - The interface receives RHPs.

Forwarding state

Whether MRP Forwarding is enabled on the interface. The forwarding state can be one of the following:

  • blocking - The interface is blocking Layer 2 data traffic and RHPs
  • disabled - The interface is down
  • forwarding - The interface is forwarding Layer 2 data traffic and RHPs
  • preforwarding - The interface is listening for RHPs but is blocking Layer 2 data traffic

Active interface

The physical interfaces that are sending and receiving RHPs.

NOTE
If a port is disabled, its state is shown as "disabled".
NOTE
If an interface is a trunk group, the member port which comes up first is listed.

Interface Type

Shows if the interface is a regular port or a tunnel port.

RHPs sent

The number of RHPs sent on the interface.

NOTE
This field applies only to the master node. On non-master nodes, this field contains 0. This is because the RHPs are forwarded in hardware on the non-master nodes.

RHPs rcvd

The number of RHPs received on the interface.

NOTE
On most Ruckus devices, this field applies only to the master node. On non-master nodes, this field contains 0. This is because the RHPs are forwarded in hardware on the non-master nodes. However, on the FastIron devices, the RHP received counter on non-master MRP nodes increment. This is because, on FastIron devices, the CPU receives a copy of the RHPs forwarded in hardware.

TC RHPs rcvd

The number of Topology Change RHPs received on the interface. A Topology Change RHP indicates that the ring topology has changed.

State changes

The number of MRP interface state changes that have occurred. The state can be one of the states listed in the Forwarding state field.

Interface Type

Shows if the interface is a regular port or a tunnel port.
