Reference Guide
• All VLANS must be in Layer 2 mode.
• Tag control VLAN ports. Member VLAN ports, except the Primary/Secondary interface, can be tagged or 
untagged.
• The control VLAN must be the same for all nodes on the ring.
To create the Members VLANs for this FRRP group, use the following commands on all of the Transit switches in the 
ring.
1. Create a VLAN with this ID number.
CONFIGURATION mode.
interface vlan vlan-id
VLAN ID: the range is from 1 to 4094.
2. Tag the specified interface or range of interfaces to this VLAN.
CONFIG-INT-VLAN mode.
tagged interface slot/port {range}
Interface:
– Slot/Port, range: Slot and Port ID for the interface. The range is entered Slot/Port-Port.
– For a 10/100/1000 Ethernet interface, enter the keyword GigabitEthernet then the slot/port 
information.
– For a Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword GigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
– For a SONET interface, enter the keyword sonet then the slot/port information.
– For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port 
information.
– For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/port information.
3. Assign the Primary and Secondary ports and the Control VLAN for the ports on the ring.
CONFIG-FRRP mode.
interface primary int slot/port secondary int slot/port control-vlan vlan id
Interface:
– For a 10/100/1000 Ethernet interface, enter the keyword GigabitEthernet then the slot/port 
information.
– For a Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword GigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
– For a SONET interface, enter the keyword sonet then the slot/port information.
– For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port 
information.
– For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/port information.
Slot/Port, Range: Slot and Port ID for the interface. Range is entered Slot/Port-Port.
VLAN ID: Identification number of the Control VLAN.
4. Configure a Transit node.
CONFIG-FRRP mode.
mode transit
5. Identify the Member VLANs for this FRRP group.
CONFIG-FRRP mode.
member-vlan vlan-id {range}
VLAN-ID, Range: VLAN IDs for the ring’s Member VLANs.
