MCT and VLANs

MCT relies on the following VLAN types:

• Session VLAN: Provides the control channel for CCP. RUCKUS recommends keeping only ICL ports in the session VLAN. A virtual interface must be configured on the session VLAN for the router image.
• Keep-alive VLAN: Provides a backup control path if the ICL goes down (optional, but strongly recommended).
• MCT VLAN: Serves the customer data traffic. The ICL must belong to every MCT VLAN to provide a data path between two cluster devices. When the ICL is added to a VLAN, it becomes an MCT VLAN.
