Ethernet ring sub-ring using non-virtual link

The following figure shows 0 to 6 homed to VPLS.

Figure: 0 to 6 sub-ring homed to VPLS

Example: Sub-ring using non-virtual link configuration output on PE1, interconnecting node

eth-ring 1
      description "Ethernet Ring 1"
      guard-time 20
      no revert-time
      rpl-node nbr
      sub-ring non-virtual-link
          interconnect vpls // VPLS is interconnection type
              propagate-topology-change 
          exit
      exit
      path a 1/1/3 raps-tag 1.1

          eth-cfm
          mep 8 domain 1 association 8

Example: Sub-ring nodes configured with sub-ring non-virtual link option within non-virtual link sub-ring

All the sub ring nodes part of a sub-ring with non-virtual link should be configured with the ‟sub-ring non-virtual-link” option.

eth-ring 1
        sub-ring non-virtual-link
        exit
        path a 1/1/1 raps-tag 1.1

                exit
            exit                      
            no shutdown
        exit
