• Control VLAN ports must be tagged.
• All ports on the ring must use the same VLAN ID for the Control VLAN.
• A VLAN cannot be configured 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
Use the commands in the following sequence, on the switch that will act as the Master node, to create the
Control VLAN for this FRRP group.
