Configuring Smart Link

Overview

To avoid single-point failures and guarantee network reliability, downstream devices are usually dual-homed to upstream devices, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 Dual uplink network diagram

 

To remove network loops on a dual-homed network, you can use a spanning tree protocol or the Rapid Ring Protection Protocol (RRPP). However, convergence time is long with spanning tree protocols, which makes it unsuitable for users who have high demand on convergence speed. RRPP can meet demand on convergence speed, but it involves complicated networking and configurations and is mainly used in ring-shaped networks.

For more information about spanning tree protocols, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide. For more information about RRPP, see "Configuring RRPP."

Smart Link is a feature developed to address the slow convergence issue with STP. It provides link redundancy and fast convergence in a dual uplink network, allowing the backup link to take over quickly when the primary link fails. Smart Link features subsecond convergence time.

A Smart Link device is configured with a smart link group and a transmit control VLAN to transmit flush messages. For example, Device C and Device D in Figure 1 are Smart Link devices.

An associated device supports Smart Link, and receives flush messages sent from the specified control VLAN. For example, Device A, Device B, and Device E in Figure 1 are associated devices.

Terminology

Smart link group

A smart link group consists of only two member ports: the primary and the secondary ports. Only one port is active for forwarding at a time, and the other port is blocked and in standby state. When link failure occurs on the active port due to port shutdown or the presence of unidirectional link, the standby port becomes active and takes over. The original active port transits to the blocked state.

As shown in Figure 1, Port 1 and Port 2 of Device C form a smart link group and those of Device D form another. Port 1 is active and Port 2 is standby.

Primary/secondary port

Primary port and secondary port are two port types in a smart link group. When both ports in a smart link group are up, the primary port preferentially transits to the forwarding state. The secondary port stays in standby state. When the primary port fails, the secondary port takes over to forward traffic.

As shown in Figure 1, Port 1 of Device C and that of Device D are primary ports. Port 2 of Device C and that of Device D are secondary ports.

Primary/secondary link

The link that connects the primary port in a smart link group is the primary link. The link that connects the secondary port is the secondary link.

Flush message

When link switchover occurs, the smart link group uses flush messages to notify other devices to refresh their MAC address entries and ARP/ND entries. Flush messages are common multicast data packets, and will be dropped by a blocked receiving port.

Protected VLAN

A smart link group controls the forwarding state of protected VLANs. Each smart link group on a port controls a different protected VLAN. The state of the port in a protected VLAN is determined by the state of the port in the smart link group.

Transmit control VLAN

The transmit control VLAN is used for transmitting flush messages. When link switchover occurs, the devices (such as Device C and Device D in Figure 1) send flush messages within the transmit control VLAN.

Receive control VLAN

The receive control VLAN is used for receiving and processing flush messages. When link switchover occurs, the devices (such as Device A, Device B, and Device E in Figure 1) receive and process flush messages in the receive control VLAN. In addition, they refresh their MAC address entries and ARP/ND entries.

How Smart Link works

Link backup

As shown in Figure 1, the link on Port 1 of Device C is the primary link. The link on Port 2 of Device C is the secondary link. Port 1 is in forwarding state, and Port 2 is in standby state. When the primary link fails, Port 2 takes over to forward traffic and Port 1 is blocked and placed in standby state.

When a port switches to the forwarding state, the system outputs log information to notify the user of the port state change.

Topology change

Link switchover might outdate the MAC address entries and ARP/ND entries on all devices. A flush update mechanism is provided to ensure correct packet transmission. With this mechanism, a Smart Link-enabled device updates its information by transmitting flush messages over the backup link to its upstream devices. This mechanism requires the upstream devices to be capable of recognizing Smart Link flush messages to update their MAC address forwarding entries and ARP/ND entries.

Preemption mode

As shown in Figure 1, the link on Port 1 of Device C is the primary link. The link on Port 2 of Device C is the secondary link. When the primary link fails, Port 1 is automatically blocked and placed in standby state, and Port 2 takes over to forward traffic. When the primary link recovers, one of the following actions occurs:

·     If the smart link group is not configured with a preemption mode, Port 1 stays blocked to keep traffic forwarding stable. Port 1 does not take over to forward traffic until the next link switchover.

·     If the smart link group is configured with a preemption mode and the preemption conditions are met, Port 1 takes over to forward traffic as soon as its link recovers. Port 2 is automatically blocked and placed in standby state.

Load sharing

A ring network might carry traffic of multiple VLANs. Smart Link can forward traffic from different VLANs in different smart link groups for load sharing.

To implement load sharing, you can assign a port to multiple smart link groups. Configure each group with a different protected VLAN. Make sure the state of the port is different in these smart link groups, so traffic from different VLANs can be forwarded along different paths.

You can configure protected VLANs for a smart link group by referencing Multiple Spanning Tree Instances (MSTIs). For more information about MSTIs, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.

Smart Link collaboration mechanisms

Collaboration between Smart Link and Monitor Link

Smart Link cannot detect when faults occur on the uplink of the upstream devices or when faults are cleared. You can configure the Monitor Link function to monitor the status of the uplink ports of the upstream devices. Monitor Link adapts the up/down state of downlink ports to uplink ports, and triggers Smart Link to perform link switchover on the downstream device. For more information about Monitor Link, see "Configuring Monitor Link."

Collaboration between Smart Link and Track

Smart Link cannot detect unidirectional links, misconnected fibers, or packet loss on intermediate devices or network paths of the uplink. It cannot detect when faults are cleared either. To detect link status, smart link group member ports must use link detection protocols. When a fault is detected or cleared, the link detection protocols inform Smart Link to switch over the links.

Smart Link collaborates with link detection protocols through track entries. It supports only the Continuity Check (CC) function of Connectivity Fault Detection (CFD) to implement link detection. CFD notifies the smart link group member ports of fault detection events by using detection VLANs and detection ports. A port responds to a continuity check event only when the control VLAN of the smart link group to which it belongs matches the detection VLAN. For more information about track entries and the CC function of CFD, see "Configuring Track" and "Configuring CFD."

Configuring a Smart Link device

Configuration prerequisites

Before configuring a Smart Link device, complete the following tasks:

·     To prevent loops, shut down a port before configuring it as a smart link group member. You can bring up the port only after completing the smart link group configuration.

·     Disable the spanning tree feature and RRPP on the ports you want to add to the smart link group.

 

 

NOTE:

·     A loop might occur on the network during the time when the spanning tree feature is disabled but Smart Link has not yet taken effect on a port.

·     If you configure a port as both an aggregation group member and a smart link group member, only the aggregation group configuration takes effect. The port is not shown in the output from the display smart-link group command. The smart link group configuration takes effect after the port leaves the aggregation group.

 

Configuring protected VLANs for a smart link group

Protected VLANs are configured by referencing MSTIs. The protected VLAN configuration method varies by the spanning tree mode:

In STP, RSTP, or MSTP mode, you must manually configure the mappings between VLANs and MSTIs.

In PVST mode, the device automatically maps each VLAN to an MSTI. When the spanning tree protocol is disabled globally, all VLANs are automatically mapped to MSTI 0.

To configure the protected VLANs for a smart link group:

Enabling the sending of flush messages

Follow these guidelines when you enable the sending of flush messages:

·     The control VLAN configured for a smart link group must be different from the control VLAN configured for any other smart link group.

·     Make sure the configured control VLAN already exists, and assign the smart link group member ports to the control VLAN.

·     The control VLAN of a smart link group must also be one of its protected VLANs. Do not remove the control VLAN. Otherwise, flush messages cannot be sent correctly.

By default, smart link group member ports do not collaborate with track entries.

The track entry specified in the command must be a track entry that has been associated with the CC function of CFD.

 

Configuring an associated device

Configuration prerequisites

Disable the spanning tree feature on the associated device's ports that connect to the member ports of the smart link group. Otherwise, the ports will discard flush messages when they are not in forwarding state if a topology change occurs.

Enabling the receiving of flush messages

You do not need to enable all ports on the associated devices to receive flush messages. Enable the feature only on all control VLANs of ports on the primary and secondary links between the Smart Link device and the destination device.

Follow these guidelines when you enable the receiving of flush messages:

·     If no control VLAN is specified for processing flush messages, the device forwards the received flush messages without any processing.

·     Make sure the receive control VLAN is the same as the transmit control VLAN configured on the Smart Link device. If they are not the same, the associated device will forward the received flush messages directly without any processing.

·     Do not remove the control VLANs. Otherwise, flush messages cannot be sent correctly.

·     Make sure the control VLANs are existing VLANs, and assign the ports capable of receiving flush messages to the control VLANs.

To enable the receiving of flush messages:

 

Step

Command

Remarks

1.     Enter system view.

Smart Link and Track collaboration configuration example

Network requirements

As shown in Figure 4:

·     Device A, Device B, Device C, and Device D form maintenance domain (MD) MD_A of level 5. Device C is a Smart Link device, and Device A, Device B, and Device D are associated devices. Traffic of VLANs 1 through 200 on Device C is dually uplinked to Device A by Device B and Device D.

·     Configure collaboration between Smart Link and the CC function of CFD through track entries to meet the following requirements:

¡     Traffic of VLANs 1 through 100 is uplinked to Device A by Device C through Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 (primary port of smart link group 1).

¡     Traffic of VLANs 101 through 200 is uplinked to Device A by Device C through Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 (primary port of smart link group 2).

¡     When the link between Device C and Device A fails, traffic is quickly switched to the secondary port of each smart link group. After the fault is cleared, traffic is switched back to the primary ports.

For more information about CFD, see "Configuring CFD."
