RRPP configuration task list
CAUTION:
 RRPP does not have an auto election mechanism, so you must configure each node in the ring network properly
for RRPP to monitor and protect the ring network.
 Before configuring RRPP, you must construct a ring-shaped Ethernet topology physically.
You can create RRPP domains based on service planning, specify control VLANs and data VLANs for
each RRPP domain, and then determine the ring roles and node roles based on the traffic paths in each
RRPP domain.
Complete the following tasks to configure RRPP:
