Concept Explanation
There is no periodic transmission of TCRHFs. The TCRHFs are sent on triggered
events of ring failure or ring restoration only.
Implementing FRRP
FRRP is media and speed independent.
FRRP is a Dell proprietary protocol that does not interoperate with any other vendor.
You must disable the spanning tree protocol (STP) on both the Primary and Secondary interfaces
before you can enable FRRP.
All ring ports must be Layer 2 ports. This is required for both Master and Transit nodes.
A VLAN configured as a control VLAN for a ring cannot be configured as a control or member VLAN
for any other ring.
The control VLAN is not used to carry any data traffic; it carries only RHFs.
The control VLAN cannot have members that are not ring ports.
If multiple rings share one or more member VLANs, they cannot share any links between them.
Member VLANs across multiple rings are not supported in Master nodes.
Each ring has only one Master node; all others are transit nodes.
