Force10 OS Resilient Ring Protocol

Force10 OS resilient ring protocol (FRRP) is a proprietary protocol for that offers fast convergence in a Layer 2

network without having to run the spanning tree protocol (STP).

The resilient ring protocol is an efficient protocol that transmits a high-speed token across a ring to verify the

link status. All the intelligence is contained in the master node with practically no intelligence required of the

transit mode.

Important Points to Remember

FRRP is media- and speed-independent.

FRRP is a Dell Networking proprietary protocol that does not interoperate with any other vendor.

Spanning Tree must be disabled on both primary and secondary interfaces before Resilient Ring

protocol is enabled.

A VLAN configured as the control VLAN for a ring cannot be configured as a control or member VLAN

for any other ring.

Member VLANs across multiple rings are not supported in Master nodes.

If multiple rings share one or more member VLANs, they cannot share any links between them.

Each ring can have only one Master node; all others are Transit nodes.

FRRP is not supported on port extender (PE) ports.
