28.1.4 Setting Control VLAN

<Structure of this section>

(1) Setting Control VLAN

Points to note

Specify the VLAN to be used as the control VLAN. The following VLAN cannot be set:

  • VLAN used for the data-transfer VLAN

  • VLAN ID equal to VLAN ID used in the different rings

  • Default VLAN(VLAN=1)

Command examples

  1. (config)# axrp 1

    Switches to axrp configuration mode for ring ID 1.

  2. (config-axrp)# control-vlan 2

    Specifies VLAN 2 as the control VLAN.

(2) Setting the Control VLAN Forwarding Transitions

Points to note

Set the forwarding transition time for the control VLAN of a transit node for when the Ring Protocol is in the initial status. Set the forwarding transition time for the control VLAN on the transit node (set in forwarding-delay-time parameter) to a value greater than the protection time for health check frames on the master node. Also, set a value smaller than the flush control frame receive wait protection time (the value set in the configuration command forwarding-shift-time). If the ring port of the transit node enters the forwarding state before the master node detects recovery from a configuration error, a loop might occur temporarily.

Command examples

  1. (config)# axrp 1

    (config-axrp)# control-vlan 2 forwarding-delay-time 10

    Sets the forwarding transition time for the control VLAN to 10 seconds.
