4.6.12.1 Default Configuration
When an SBx3112 switch is initially booted up, the SuperLoop will be configured as follows:
• No EPSR domains have been created, and so the SuperLoop feature is not configured.
4.6.12.2 Configuration Rules
Since a control VLAN can have many associated data VLANs, and common links can span multiple ring seg-
ments, understanding and then configuring a system with common links with shared data VLANs can become
complex. The following rules should be kept in mind when designing the domains with common links and
shared data VLANs.
1. It is possible that two or more domain instances could share a common link and the same data VLAN(s),
and yet each domain could still have its own unique set of data VLANs. To prevent this configuration, note
