Dedicated Signaling Control cChannel

For each ring port, a dedicated signaling control channel with a dedicated VLAN ID must be configured. In Ethernet ring configuration, only this control logical interface is configured and the underlying physical interface is the physical ring port. Each ring requires that two control physical interfaces be configured. These two logical interfaces must be configured in a bridge domain in order to forward RAPS PDUs between the two ring control physical interfaces. If the control channel logical interface is not a trunk port, only control logical interfaces will be configured in ring port configuration. If this control channel logical interface is a trunk port, in addition to the control channel logical interfaces, a dedicated VLAN ID must be configured.
