Create a Shortest Path Bridging MAC (SPBM) Backbone VLAN (B-VLAN). Each SPBM network
instance is associated with at least one backbone VLAN (B-VLAN) in the core SPBM
network. This VLAN is used for both control plane traffic and dataplane traffic.
Note
As a best practice, configure two B-VLANs in an SPBM dual-homing environment.
