Command Usage
• Configure one control VLAN for each ERPS ring. First create the VLAN to be used as the control
VLAN (see
“vlan” on page 375), add the ring ports for the east and west interface as tagged
members to this VLAN (see “switchport allowed vlan” on page 379), and then use the
control-vlan command to add it to the ring.
• The following restrictions are recommended to avoid creating a loop in the network or other
problems which may occur under some situations:
• The Control VLAN must not be configured as a Layer 3 interface (with an IP address), a
dynamic VLAN (with GVRP enabled), nor as a private VLAN.
• In addition, only ring ports may be added to the Control VLAN. No other ports can be
members of this VLAN.
