Create the FRRP group
The FRRP group must be created on each switch in the ring.
Use the commands in the following sequence to create the FRRP group.
Configure the Control VLAN
Control and Member VLANS are configured normally for Layer 2. Their status as Control or Member is
determined at the FRRP group commands. For complete information about configuring VLANS in Layer 2
mode, refer to Layer 2.
Be sure to follow these guidelines:
• All VLANS must be in Layer 2 mode.
• Only ring nodes can be added to the VLAN.
• A Control VLAN can belong to one FRRP group only.
• Control VLAN ports must be tagged.
• All ports on the ring must use the same VLAN ID for the Control VLAN.
• A VLAN cannot be configured as both a Control VLAN and Member VLAN on the same ring.
• Only two interfaces can be members of a Control VLAN (the Master Primary and Secondary ports).
• Member VLANs across multiple rings are not supported in Master nodes
Use the commands in the following sequence, on the switch that will act as the Master node, to create the
Control VLAN for this FRRP group.
