Though the explanation above assigned VLANs individually for each floor, we recommend that you decide
how to assign VLANs depending on your requirements, such as a VLAN for a department spanning multiple
floors.
For example, if a terminal on floor 3 other than device FL3 is connected to the ring, you can achieve load
balancing of communication by assigning VLAN101 through VLAN105 for communication between the server
and the devices on floor 1, VLAN106 through VLAN110 for communication between the server and the devices
on floor 3, and so on.
3.1.3 Configuration example
This section is a configuration guide that shows a configuration example with device C1 as the master node
and device FL1 as a transit node. The transit nodes FL2 and FL3 have the same configuration as for device FL1.
For all configurations, see Appendix 1
.
(1) How to configure the master node (device C1)
Settings of C1
Disabling the spanning tree
(config)# spanning-tree disable
Disables the spanning tree because it is not used.
(Important points on constructing a system (1)
)
Configuring the control VLAN and data transfer VLANs
(config)# vlan 2,101-110
Specifies VLANs to be used.
Control VLAN: VLAN2; Data VLANs: VLAN101 - VLAN110

Configuring the ring ports
Configuring the ring port #1 (when an SFP transceiver is used)
(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1
(config-if)# link debounce time 0
(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 2,101-110
(config-if)# axrp-ring-port 1
(config-if)# axrp-primary-port 1 vlan-group 1
Sets the link debounce time to 0.
Specifies the control VLAN2 and data VLAN101 through
VLAN110 to be used.
Sets RING ID to 1 for the ring on the port used as a ring port.
Configures the interface as the primary port for vlan-group 1 in
the ring with RING ID 1.

Configuring the ring port #2 (when an SFP transceiver is used)
When using a single line
(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/3
(config-if)# link debounce time 0
(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 2,101-110
(config-if)# axrp-ring-port 1
(config-if)# axrp-primary-port 1 vlan-group 2
Sets the link debounce time to 0.
Specifies the control VLAN2 and data VLAN101 through
VLAN110 to be used.
Sets RING ID to 1 for the ring on the port used as a ring port.
Configures the interface as the primary port for vlan-group 2 in
the ring with RING ID 1.
(Important points on constructing a system (4)
(6))
Configuring the ring port #1
(config)# interface range gigabitethernet 0/1-2
(config-if)# link debounce time 0
(config-if)# channel-group 12 mode on
Configures the channel group 12 to use the ports 0/1 - 2 for LA.
Sets the link debounce time to 0.
(Important points on constructing a system (5)
)
Configuring the ring port #2
(config)# interface range gigabitethernet 0/3-4
(config-if)# link debounce time 0
(config-if)# channel-group 10 mode on
Configures the channel group 10 to use the ports 0/3 - 4 for LA.
Sets the link debounce time to 0.
(Important points on constructing a system (5))
Configuring the port channel #1
(config)# interface port-channel 10
(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 2,101-110
(config-if)# axrp-ring-port 1
(config-if)# axrp-primary-port 1 vlan-group 2
Configures the port channel 10.
Specifies the control VLAN2 and data VLAN101 through
VLAN110 to be used.
Sets RING ID to 1 for the ring on the port used as a ring port.
Configures the interface as the primary port for vlan-group 2 in
the ring with RING ID 1.
(Important points on constructing a system (4) (6))
Configuring the port channel #2
When using the link aggregation
(config)# interface port-channel 12
(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 2,101-110
(config-if)# axrp-ring-port 1
(config-if)# axrp-primary-port 1 vlan-group 1
Configures the port channel 10.
Specifies the control VLAN2 and data VLAN101 through
VLAN110 to be used.
Sets RING ID to 1 for the ring on the port used as a ring port.
Configures the interface as the primary port for vlan-group 1 in
the ring with RING ID 1.
