ERPS VLANs are used because Ethernet ring protection configured as a single instance only works at
the physical level (adjacent nodes must be directly connected). The ring protection operates at the
interface (port) level and not at the VLAN level.
The VLANs created here are tied to Ring instances that are like traffic channels that contain different sets
of VLANs. A ring instance is responsible for the protection of a subset of VLANs that transport traffic over
the physical ring.
When ring instances are configured for the ring, each ring instance should have its own RPL owner, an
east and a west interface, and a ring protection link end.
