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
- 
                  (config)# axrp 1 Switches to axrp configuration mode for ring ID 1. 
- 
                  (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
- 
                  (config)# axrp 1 (config-axrp)# control-vlan 2 forwarding-delay-time 10 Sets the forwarding transition time for the control VLAN to 10 seconds.
