Configuring Shortest Path and Topology Discovery

To enable and configure shortest path and topology discovery, perform the following procedure,
beginning in global configuration mode:

Monitoring and Verifying Topology Discovery and Shortest Path Load
Balancing

After configuring topology discovery, you can monitor the status using the global command show spr
topology 1
to display the Cisco proprietary RPR topology information.

Example 17-9

illustrates the

output of this commands.

Command

Purpose

Step 1

Router# interface spr1

Activates interface configuration mode to
configure the POS interface.

Step 2

Router(config-if)# spr topology discovery

Enables topology discovery on Cisco proprietary
RPR.

Step 3

Router(config-if)# spr load-balance

shortest-hop

Configures shortest path load-balancing for
Layer 2 unicast packets being added to the ring.

Step 4

Router(config-if)# no shutdown

Enables the interface by preventing it from
shutting down.

Step 5

Router(config)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 6

Router# copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Saves configuration changes to the
TCC2/TCC2P flash database.
