Creating An Rrpp Domain; Configuring Control Vlans - HP A5830 series Configuration Manual

Task
Configuring an RRPP ring group
RRPP does not have an auto election mechanism, so you must configure each node in the ring network
properly for RRPP to monitor and protect the ring network.
Before configuring RRPP, you must construct a ring-shaped Ethernet topology physically.

Creating an RRPP domain

When creating an RRPP domain, specify a domain ID, which uniquely identifies an RRPP domain. All
devices in the same RRPP domain must be configured with the same domain ID.
Perform this configuration on devices you want to configure as nodes in the RRPP domain.
To create an RRPP domain:
To do...
• Enter system view
• Create an RRPP domain, and
enter RRPP domain view

Configuring control VLANs

Before configuring RRPP rings in an RRPP domain, configure the same control VLANs for all nodes in the
RRPP domain first.
Perform this configuration on all nodes in the RRPP domain to be configured.
To configure control VLANs:
To do...
• Enter system view
• Enter RRPP domain view
• Specify the primary control
VLAN for the RRPP domain
When you configure existing VLANs as control VLANs, the system prompts errors.
To make sure proper forwarding of RRPPDUs, do not enable 802.1Q in 802.1Q (QinQ) or VLAN
mapping on the control VLANs.
To make sure that RRPPDUs can be sent and received correctly, do not configure the default VLAN of a
port accessing an RRPP ring as the primary control VLAN or the secondary control VLAN.
To transparently transmit RRPPDUs on a device not configured with RRPP, you must make sure only the
two ports connecting the device to the RRPP ring permit the packets of the control VLANs. Otherwise, the
packets from other VLANs may go into the control VLANs in transparent transmission mode and strike
the RRPP ring.
