set protocols erps ring virtual-channel

The set protocols erps ring virtual-channel command enables virtual-channel RAPS message transmission method for a sub-ring. By default, the sub-ring RAPS message is transmitted as a non-virtual channel.

The delete protocols erps ring virtual-channel command restores the configuration to the default value.
