Install Guide

● If multiple rings share one or more member VLANs, they cannot share any links between them.
● Member VLANs across multiple rings are not supported in Master nodes.
● Each ring has only one Master node; all others are transit nodes.
FRRP Configuration
These are the tasks to configure FRRP.
● Creating the FRRP Group
● Configuring the Control VLAN
○ Configure Primary and Secondary ports
● Configuring and Adding the Member VLANs
○ Configure Primary and Secondary ports
Other FRRP related commands are:
● Clearing the FRRP Counters
● Viewing the FRRP Configuration
● Viewing the FRRP Information
Creating the FRRP Group
Create the FRRP group on each switch in the ring.
To create the FRRP group, use the command.
● Create the FRRP group with this Ring ID.
CONFIGURATION mode
protocol frrp ring-id
Ring ID: the range is from 1 to 255.
Configuring 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 more 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.
● You can only add ring nodes to the VLAN.
● A control VLAN can belong to one FRRP group only.
● Tag control VLAN ports.
● All ports on the ring must use the same VLAN ID for the control VLAN.
● You cannot configure a VLAN 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.
To create the control VLAN for this FRRP group, use the following commands on the switch that is to act as the Master node.
1. Create a VLAN with this ID number.
CONFIGURATION mode.
interface vlan vlan-id
VLAN ID: from 1 to 4094.
2. Tag the specified interface or range of interfaces to this VLAN.
CONFIG-INT-VLAN mode.
tagged interface {range}
Interface:
Force10 Resilient Ring Protocol (FRRP)
