Thank you for the great video,
Why you disabled the spanning tree.

[@jeremymead7372]

I followed this example step by step but I am still unable to get the VMC communicating with the MCR

[@Adhocinfoway]

Can we use one physical MCR and one Virtual MCR for redundancy? Any compatible issues with Aruba OS 8.10?

[@AirheadsBroadcasting]

No, they need to be of the same type so both physical or both virtual. No compatibility issues with 8.10.
