30.1.4 Setting Control VLAN

<Structure of this section>

(1) Setting Control VLAN

Points to note

Specify the VLAN to be used as the control VLAN. VLANs used for data transfer cannot be used. Note that VLAN IDs with the same value as VLAN IDs used in different rings cannot be used.

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. This setting is ignored if performed for other nodes. Set the forwarding transition time for the control VLAN of a transit node (value set for the forwarding-delay-time parameter) to a value greater than that set for the hold time for health check frames on the master node (value set by the health-check holdtime command).

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.
