PRP PROTOCOL

PRP protocol:

Explanation:
In PRP protocol all the devices are connected to two independent networks. Any message this
device publishes is mirrored to both networks. Subscribing devices, also connected to both
networks, will accept the first version of the message received, and discard the second version.
If one network link fails, the mirrored message will still go through on the second network. The
two networks don’t need to be identical, but they must not be connected to each other.
• DANP: a DANP is a “double attached node implementing PRP”. A DANP has two ports (port A
and port B) that have the same abilities. A source DANP sends the same frame over both LANs. A
destination DANP receives the mirrored frames from both LANs within a certain time, consumes
the first frame and discards the duplicate.
• SAN: a SAN is a “single attached node” that has only one port for this protocol, so no specific
requirements apply. Bridges and Switches are SANs.
• Redbox: a Redbox device is used to attach SANs to a PRP network. The Redbox acts like a DANP
on the PRP side. The Redbox mirrors the frame published by a SAN and creates the frame from
mirrored PRP messages to send to a SAN.

Procedure to Make A PRP Ring:


1. LAN -A ring connection and LAN-B ring connection should be made separately.
2. There should not be and link between LAN- A & LAN-B.
3. IED’s are having PORT-A and PORT-B ports separately. Port-A of DAN’s should be
connected to LAN-A port only and PORT-B of DAN’s should be connected to LAN-B port
only.
4. Upcoming pages explained about the IED port identification.

PORT-A AND PORT-B LABELS ARE AVAILABLE
How to trouble shoot PRP architecture issue?
1. Connect the wire shark in Ring-A and check any LAB-B packets are flowing in LAN-A port.

LAN-A AND LAN-B packets are flowing in the network.


2. Check the mac address and identity the device and reverser the connection of fiber
patch card.
