SPBM overview

IEEE 802.1aq Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) enables multipath routing in an Ethernet mesh network by using IS-IS as the control protocol. The technology allows all paths to be active, supports equal cost paths, and provides shortest path forwarding in an Ethernet mesh network. IEEE 802.1aq SPB provides faster convergence, higher link efficiency, and larger Layer 2 topologies than conventional spanning tree protocols such as MSTP.

Shortest path bridging MAC mode (SPBM) is one bridging method of IEEE 802.1aq SPB.

SPBM network model

As shown in Figure 1, the SPBM network includes backbone edge bridges and backbone core bridges.

Backbone edge bridges connect customer sites to the SPBM network.

The nodes in the SPBM network run ISIS-SPB to prevent loops and calculate the shortest path for a frame.

Figure 1 SPBM network model

 

Terminology

AC

An attachment circuit (AC) is a physical or virtual link that connects a customer site to a backbone edge bridge.

Area

An SPBM area is a subdomain of an SPBM network. The device supports only one area.

BCB

Backbone core bridges (BCBs) are core nodes of an SPBM network. They are identical to the P devices in an MPLS VPN network. BCBs forward MAC-in-MAC frames based on the B-MAC and B-VLAN. They do not learn customer MAC (C-MAC) addresses.

BEB

Backbone edge bridges (BEBs) are edge nodes of the SPBM network. They are identical to PEs in an MPLS VPN network. BEBs encapsulate customer frames into MAC-in-MAC frames before forwarding them to the SPBM network. BEBs also decapsulate MAC-in-MAC frames before sending them to a customer site.

B-MAC, B-VLAN

Backbone MAC addresses (B-MACs) are bridge MAC addresses associated with SPBM bridges. Backbone VLANs (B-VLANs) are VLANs assigned by the service provider for transmitting customer traffic on the SPBM network.

For customer frames to be transmitted across an SPBM network, the ingress BEB encapsulates them in MAC-in-MAC format. In the outer frame header, the source MAC address is a B-MAC of the ingress BEB, and the destination MAC is a B-MAC of the egress BEB. All devices in the SPBM network forward the MAC-in-MAC frames based on the destination B-MAC and B-VLAN.

Customer network port, provider network port

On a BEB, a customer network port (CNP) connects to a customer site and a provider network port (PNP) connects to the SPBM network.

Ethernet service instance

An Ethernet service instance provides forwarding service for a set of VLANs. To extend VLANs across customer sites over an SPBM network, you must configure Ethernet service instances on BEBs' customer edge ports and map them to SPB VSIs.

I-SID

A backbone service instance identifier (I-SID) uniquely identifies a MAC-in-MAC service instance (also called an "SPB VSI") provided by the service provider.

ISIS-SPB

ISIS-SPB is the control protocol for an SPBM network to calculate shortest path trees (SPTs) and maintain adjacencies between neighbors.

LSDB

A link state database (LSDB) contains the states of all links in an SPBM network.

MAC-in-MAC

Customer frames are encapsulated in MAC-in-MAC format at edges of the SPBM network before they are forwarded from one customer site to another. For more information about the MAC-in-MAC frame format, see "SPBM packet types."

PW

Pseudo wires (PWs) are MAC-in-MAC tunnels established over the SPBM network for transmitting customer traffic.

PWs are established between BEBs. BCBs do not set up PWs.

On an interface, incoming frames are assigned to the same PW if they match the packet match criterion of the same Ethernet service instance.

SPB VSI

An SPB virtual switch instance (SPB VSI) provides MAC-in-MAC tunnel service for Ethernet service instances. An SPB VSI acts as a virtual switch. It has all the functionality of a conventional Ethernet switch, including source MAC address learning, MAC address aging, and flooding. Each SPB VSI is uniquely identified by an I-SID.

System ID

In the SPBM network, each device is uniquely identified by a 6-byte system ID. The system ID is automatically generated by ISIS-SPB.

SPBM packet types

SPBM packets include ISIS-SPB control packets and SPBM data packets.

ISIS-SPB control packets

ISIS-SPB control packets include hello, LSP, and SNP. All SPBM control packets are encapsulated in 802.1q.

Hello

SPBM neighbors send IS-IS hello (IIH) PDUs to establish and maintain adjacencies.

LSP

Adjacent SPBM neighbors send link state PDUs (LSPs) to advertise topology data.

SNP

Adjacent SPBM neighbors exchange sequence number PDUs (SNPs) for LSDB synchronization.

SNPs include complete SNP (CSNP) and partial SNP (PSNP).

·          CSNP—Contains the digest of each LSP in the LSDB. Adjacent routers exchange CSNPs to maintain LSDB synchronization.

·          PSNP—Contains the sequence numbers of recently received LSPs. An SPBM node uses a PSNP to acknowledge LSPs or to request needed LSPs from a neighbor.

SPBM data packet

SPBM data packets use the IEEE 802.1ah MAC-in-MAC frame format, as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2 IEEE 802.1ah-compliant MAC-in-MAC frame format

 

Table 1 IEEE 802.1ah encapsulated frame header fields

Field

Description

B-DA

Destination B-MAC that identifies the destination BEB.

B-SA

Source B-MAC. It is a known MAC address of the BEB that encapsulates the MAC-in-MAC frame.

B-Tag

B-VLAN tag identifies the VLAN ID and priority of the frame in the SPBM network. The TPID in the tag is fixed at 0x8100.

I-Tag

Backbone service instance tag contains the following subfields:

·         TPID—A value fixed at 0x88E7 to identify the frame as an 802.1ah encapsulated frame.

·         I-PCP—Transmission priority of the frame on the BEB.

·         I-DEI—Drop priority of the frame on the BEB.

·         I-SID—Backbone service instance identifier.

·         C-DA—Customer destination MAC address.

·         C-SA—Customer source MAC address.

S-Tag

This field contains the outer customer VLAN ID and priority.

C-Tag

This field contains the inner customer VLAN ID and priority.

 

Working mechanisms

To forward Layer 2 traffic between customer sites across an SPBM network, you must configure Ethernet service instances on BEBs' customer network ports, and map Ethernet service instances to SPB VSIs.

SPBM uses ISIS-SPB in the control plane to calculate shortest path trees.

SPBM uses the following generic process to calculate SPTs and forward traffic:

1.        BEBs and BCBs send ISIS-SPB P2P hellos to establish and maintain adjacencies.

2.        Adjacent nodes send LSPs to advertise their respective topology data. Eventually, the LSDBs of all nodes are synchronized.

3.        Each node selects the forwarding path:

a.    Each node runs SPF to calculate the shortest path from itself to each of the other nodes.

b.    If equal-cost paths are available, each node runs ECT to choose the best forwarding path.

c.    The nodes populate their respective FDB and FIB tables with the forwarding path.

4.        BEBs establish PWs over the SPBM network for transmitting customer traffic.

Formation and maintenance of ISIS-SPB adjacencies

ISIS-SPB only supports point-to-point links within an IS-IS level 1. It sends P2P hellos between directly connected nodes to form and maintain adjacencies. To forward traffic on an adjacency, two SPBM neighbors must meet the following requirements:

·          The neighbors have the same configuration digest for MSTI 4092.

·          The neighbors have the same B-VLAN to ECT algorithm mapping.

·          The neighbors have valid link metric values.

 

 

NOTE:

In SPBM, you must map all B-VLANs to MSTI 4092.

 

MAC address learning

In an SPBM network, BEBs perform typical source MAC learning in the data plane to learn C-MACs, but BCBs do not learn C-MACs.

BCBs forward MAC-in-MAC traffic by destination B-MAC and B-VLAN, which are advertised through ISIS-SPB in the control plane. As a result, BCBs do not need to maintain a large MAC address table.

Data paths

For the forwarding process for known unicast frames, see "Unicast."

To avoid loops, SPBM does not support broadcast. BEBs flood broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast frames to the SPBM network as multicast frames. For the flooding process, see "Multicast."

Unicast

For an intra-site known unicast frame, the ingress BEB performs typical MAC address table lookup.

For a known inter-site unicast frame, the following forwarding process takes place, as shown in Figure 3:

1.        The ingress BEB performs the following tasks:

a.    Assigns the frame to the correct Ethernet service instance based on the outer VLAN.

b.    Learns the source MAC address.

c.    Looks up the destination MAC address in the Ethernet service instance's Ethernet address table.

2.        If the outgoing interface is a provider network port, the ingress BEB performs the following tasks:

a.    Encapsulates the frame in IEEE 802.1ah format.

b.    Sends the frame out of the unicast PW to the egress BEB.

The B-DA field in the outer frame header is the B-MAC of the egress BEB.

3.        Each BCB on the unicast PW forwards the frame based on the B-MAC and B-VLAN in the outer frame header until it reaches the egress BEB.

4.        The egress BEB removes the outer frame header and forwards the frame to the destination customer MAC address.

Figure 3 MAC-in-MAC unicast traffic over an SPBM network

Multicast

SPBM floods broadcast, customer multicast, and unknown customer unicast as multicast traffic.

SPBM supports the following replication methods for multicast:

·          Head-end replication—Replicates frames at the ingress BEB for frames to enter the SPBM network. This method is suitable for SPB VSIs that have sparse multicast traffic. It does not require BCBs to maintain multicast FDB entries.

·          Tandem replication—Replicates frames only at the node where the shortest path tree forks. This method is suitable for SPB VSIs that have dense multicast traffic. It requires BCBs to maintain multicast FDB entries.

In head-end replication, the ingress BEB performs the following tasks, as shown in Figure 4:

1.        Replicates the customer frame for each destination BEB.

2.        Encapsulates each replica in one unicast frame.

3.        Sends the unicast frames to the destination BEBs.

Figure 4 Head-end replication

In tandem replication, the source BEB encapsulates a frame with a B-DA multicast address that uniquely identifies itself and the SPBM service. When this frame arrives at the BCB where the shortest path tree forks, the BCB replicates one frame for each destination BEB, as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5 Tandem replication

SPBM multicast address

Each SPBM node has a multicast address for each SPB VSI. This multicast address consists of one shortest path source identifier (SPSource ID) and one I-SID. The I-SID identifies an SPB VSI, and the SPSource ID identifies the node as a multicast source in the SPB VSI.

Figure 6 SPBM multicast address format

 

Table 2 SPBM multicast address fields

Field

Description

M

1-bit multicast flag. Its value is fixed at 1.

L

1-bit local flag bit. Its value is fixed at 1.

TYP

2-bit SPSource ID type. Its value is fixed at 0.

SPSource ID

20-bit SPSource ID.

I-SID

24-bit SPB VSI identifier.

 

In Figure 6, LSB represents the lower 4 bits of a byte, and MSB represents the higher 4 bits of a byte. The first byte of an SPBM multicast address is identical to the combination of the first 4 bits of the SPSource ID field, the TYP field, the L field, and the M field. For example, the hexadecimal form of the first byte (E3) in the SPBM multicast address E386070006E9 is 11100011. This byte consists of 1110 (first 4 bits of SPSource ID), 00 (TYP), 1 (L), and 1 (M).

Multiple SPB VSIs

You can use multiple SPB VSIs to transmit traffic for different Ethernet services that span different customer sites. Each SPB VSI is identified by a unique I-SID.

For example, the network in Figure 7 has the following SPB VSIs:

·          I-SID 300 extends traffic to customer sites B, C, and D.

·          I-SID 400 extends traffic to all customer sites.

·          I-SID 500 extends traffic to customer sites A and D.

All traffic in one SPB VSI is transmitted in one B-VLAN. Different SPB VSIs can use the same B-VLAN to transmit traffic. Traffic of different SPB VSIs is isolated by I-SID.

Figure 7 Multiple SPB VSIs

 

Load balancing

To balance traffic between forwarding paths, you can map B-VLANs to different ECT algorithms. When a path is approaching congestion, you can move part of traffic on one path to another by moving an I-SID from one ECT algorithm to another.

B-VLAN to ECT algorithm mapping

For balanced traffic distribution, SPBM supports calculating one SPT for a set of B-VLANs by using different ECT algorithms. IEEE 802.1aq SPB provides 16 ECT algorithms. Each algorithm represents a set of tie-break rules. As a result, you can have up to 16 forwarding paths in an SPBM network.

Figure 8 shows two SPTs that are calculated by using two ECT algorithms.

Figure 8 Multiple SPTs in an SPBM network

 

ECT migration

ECT migration enables an I-SID to migrate from one ECT algorithm to another with minimum traffic loss.

To prevent traffic loss, ECT migration was designed based on the idea of make-before-break. All nodes in the SPBM network maintain the old path for the I-SID before a new path is set up. The SPBM nodes remove the old path only after all affected traffic has been moved from the old path to the new path for the I-SID.

As shown in Figure 9, two paths (path A and path B) are available between BEB 1 and BEB 2. B-VLAN 300 has been using path A. As path A is getting congested, you can perform ECT migration to move part of B-VLAN traffic (for example, traffic in I-SID 400) to path B.

Figure 9 ECT migration

 

Loop prevention

SPBM nodes collect topology data independently to calculate forwarding paths. Transient loops might occur during SPT recalculation caused by a network flapping because the latency varies for an LSP to reach the SPBM nodes. To prevent transient loops, SPBM uses the Agreement Protocol (AP) to exchange LSDB synchronization status. After a topology recalculation, ISIS-SPB issues new forwarding entries to the data plane only if topology data is synchronized between the SPBM node and its adjacent neighbors.

 

 

NOTE:

In this document, "AP" refers to agreement protocol. In other documents, "AP" can also refer to access points.

 

Fast channel for quick spread of LSPs

The fast channel feature provides a quicker LSP propagation method than conventional LSP propagation. This feature spreads ISIS-SPB LSPs in the SPBM network by forwarding LSPs as data packets along the SPT in a dedicated SPB VSI. An SPBM node does not need to complete updating its LSDB before it propagates the topology change to the next node.

The I-SID for the fast-channel VSI is 255. To use the fast-channel feature, you must create a VSI and assign I-SID 255 to the VSI.

You cannot associate any Ethernet service instance with the VSI that uses I-SID 255 for data transmission.

Configuring SPBM

Configuration restrictions and guidelines

For SPBM to operate correctly, follow the restrictions and guidelines in this section when you configure SPBM.

System operating mode restrictions

Before you can configure SPBM, you must perform the following tasks:

1.        Set the system operating mode to enhanced Layer 2 by using the system-working-mode bridgee command.

2.        Save the configuration.

3.        Delete the binary .mdb next-startup configuration file.

4.        Reboot the device.

For more information about setting the system operating mode, see device management in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Feature compatibility requirements

When you use SPBM in conjunction with other features, follow the restrictions and guidelines in Table 3.

Table 3 SPBM and other features compatibility

Feature

Restrictions and guidelines

IRF

You must configure the irf mac-address persistent always command to prevent the IRF bridge MAC address from changing after the address owner leaves. For more information about IRF bridge MAC persistence, see IRF Command Reference.

IS-IS

Provider network ports on BEBs and BCBs cannot be used for setting up standard IS-IS adjacencies.

Spanning tree

The spanning tree mode must be set to MSTP.

For SPBM neighbors to establish adjacencies, you must map all B-VLANs to MSTI 4092, and make sure their in-between links have connectivity.

To forward traffic on an SPBM network, you must assign all SPBM nodes to the same MST region.

For SPBM to run correctly, make sure MSTI 4092 is not used by RRPP or Smart Link. For more information about RRPP and Smart Link, see High Availability Configuration Guide.

Static MAC

If a B-MAC is the same as a static MAC entry in the MAC address table, remove the static MAC entry. The device can forward SPBM packets to the B-MAC only after the conflict is removed.

VLAN

Do not use B-VLANs for other purposes such as VLAN interfaces. Before specifying a VLAN as a B-VLAN, you must remove all features that have been configured on the VLAN.

You must configure the provider network ports on BEBs and BCBs as trunk or hybrid ports, and assign them to all B-VLANs as tagged VLAN members.

ISIS-SPB protocol frames are transmitted untagged on links. To prevent SPBM-enabled interfaces from dropping these frames, assign each SPBM-enabled interface to the port VLAN (PVID) as an untagged member. Make sure the PVIDs have been created on the device.

 

Licensing requirements

SPBM requires a license to run on the device. For information about feature licensing, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Mapping B-VLANs to an ECT algorithm

An ECT algorithm represents a set of tie-breakers for calculating SPTs.

To improve link efficiency in an SPBM network, you can distribute B-VLAN traffic along different paths by mapping B-VLANs to different ECT algorithms.

To ensure correct SPT calculation for a B-VLAN, the B-VLAN to ECT algorithm mappings must be the same across the SPBM network.

For more information about the ECT algorithms, see IEEE 802.1aq SPB.

Performing ECT migration for an SPB VSI

To move traffic from an overloaded path to a path that has less traffic, you can change B-VLAN to ECT algorithm mappings by using the ect command or by performing ECT migration. ECT migration provides more granular traffic control than the ect command.

·          Using the ect command, you can move all traffic of a B-VLAN from one path to another. The B-VLAN's traffic is disrupted before you complete B-VLAN to ECT algorithm remapping across the SPBM network.

·          Using ECT migration, you can move traffic by I-SID without traffic loss.

Optimizing the SPBM network

Perform the tasks in this section to optimize an SPBM network for bandwidth efficiency and high performance.

Enabling dynamic hostname exchange

ISIS-SPB uses a 6-byte system ID to represent a node in the network. This type of ID is difficult for administrators to identify devices when they examine ISIS-SPB adjacencies, FDB entries, and LSDB entries.

Dynamic hostname exchange enables you to assign a symbolic hostname to each SPBM node. ISIS-SPB advertises this information in the Dynamic hostname TLV in LSPs to remote LSDBs.

Tuning ISIS-SPB adjacency maintenance settings

ISIS-SPB uses the ISIS-SPB hello interval and the hello multiplier for adjacency establishment and maintenance.

Adjacency hold time sets the maximum amount of time for one SPBM node to retain the adjacency with another. This timer determines the amount of time it takes for an SPBM node to detect a failed link.

The adjacency hold time equals the ISIS-SPB hello interval multiplied by the hello multiplier.

An SPBM node sends its adjacency hold time in hello packets to update the adjacencies with its neighbor. The neighbor removes the adjacency with the advertising node and recalculates routes if it does not receive a hello packet before the timer expires.

Setting the ISIS-SPB hello interval

ISIS-SPB sends hellos over links to establish and maintain adjacencies between SPBM nodes.

A short interval improves network convergence time, but it requires more system resources.

Enable this feature for quick LSDB synchronization.

 

Setting the minimum LSP transmit interval and the maximum number of LSPs sent at each interval

To control ISIS-SPB traffic on a circuit, set the minimum interval for the device to transmit LSPs out of the circuit and the maximum number of LSPs sent at each interval. Before the minimum interval expires, newly generated LSP updates must wait in queue before they can be sent out.

3.       Set the minimum LSP transmit interval and the maximum number of LSP segments sent at each interval.

spbm timer lsp time [ count count ]

By default, the minimum LSP transmit interval is 33 milliseconds. A maximum of five LSP segments can be sent at each interval.

 

 

NOTE:

ISIS-SPB requires acknowledgment for each LSP sent on a point-to-point circuit. ISIS-SPB will retransmit an LSP at 5-second interval until it receives an acknowledgment for the LSP. This retransmission interval is not user configurable.

 

Setting the LSP lifetime

The LSP lifetime specifies the maximum amount of time for an LSP to be retained in an LSDB.

SPBM nodes add a lifetime in each LSP they have advertised. If an SPBM node does not receive an update for an LSP before its lifetime expires, the SPBM node performs the following operations:

·          Removes the LSP from the LSDB.

·          Retains the LSP digest for 60 seconds.

·          Sends an update of the LSP with a lifetime of 0. The SPBM neighbors remove the LSP from their LSDBs when they receive the LSP update.

The default maximum LSP lifetime is 1200 seconds.

 

Tuning the LSP refresh interval and LSP generation timer

To prevent LSPs from age-out and synchronize LSDBs, ISIS-SPB performs periodic and event-driven LSP updates:

·          LSP refresh interval—Sets the interval at which ISIS-SPB regularly regenerates an LSP, regardless of whether any change has occurred to the LSP.

·          LSP generation timer—Sets the delay for ISIS-SPB to generate a new version of an LSP in response to an LSP change. For example, an update occurs because of a change in adjacency, interface metric value, system ID, or area address.

The LSP generation timer is an exponential generation timer. With this timer, ISIS-SPB quickly responds to the first events for an LSP and then slows down to protect the CPU from frequent LSP generation.

The LSP generation timer value is derived from the following parameters:

·          minimum-interval—Minimum LSP generation interval.

·          incremental-interval—Base number for the incremental interval.

·          maximum-interval—Maximum LSP generation interval.

When the network is stable, the LSP generation timer is set to the minimum interval for each LSP generation. When the network is unstable, the LSP generation timer increments by incremental-interval×2n-2 (n is the number of generation times) for each LSP generation until the maximum interval is reached. If an event triggers LSP generation after the maximum interval is reached, the LSP generation timer re-initiates with the minimum interval.

 

 

NOTE:

The network is considered unstable if the interval between consecutive LSP generation events is smaller than two times the maximum interval.

·         incremental-interval—10 milliseconds.

The minimum interval and the incremental interval must be shorter than the maximum interval.

 

Enabling LSP fast-flooding

LSP fast-flooding enables ISIS-SPB to flood the first several LSPs that invoke SPF before SPF computation is started. This mechanism improves ISIS-SPB convergence time. The number of LSPs that can be fast flooded is user configurable.

Tuning the SPF calculation timer

The SPF calculation timer sets the delay between consecutive SPF calculations. You can decrease the timer for ISIS-SPB to react quickly to topology changes, and decrease the timer to protect the CPU from frequent SPF calculations.

The SPF timer is an exponential generation timer. With this timer, ISIS-SPB quickly responds to the first events that trigger SPF calculation, and then slows down to protect the CPU from frequent SPF calculations.

The SPF calculation timer value is derived from three parameters: minimum wait time (minimum-interval), base number for incremental wait time (incremental-interval), and maximum wait time (maximum-interval).

When the network is stable, the SPF calculation timer is set to the minimum wait time for each SPF computation. When the network is unstable, the SPF calculation timer increments by incremental-interval×2n-2 (n is the number of calculations) for each SPF calculation until the maximum wait time is reached. If an event triggers SPF calculation after the maximum wait time is reached, the SPF calculation timer re-initiates with the minimum wait time.

 

 

NOTE:

The network is considered unstable if the interval between consecutive SPF calculations is smaller than two times the maximum wait time.

The minimum interval and the incremental interval must be shorter than the maximum interval.

 

Setting the LSDB overload bit

ISIS-SPB sets the overload bit in LSPs to notify its neighbors that it is experiencing an LSDB error condition and cannot forward traffic correctly. During path calculation, ISIS-SPB does not choose a path as the shortest path if the path includes the device that has the overload bit set.

You can set the LSDB overload bit when the device cannot record complete topology data in the LSDB for memory insufficiency or any other problems.

Configuring the control MAC address for ISIS-SPB

ISIS-SPB uses a control MAC address for ISIS-SPB peer-to-peer communication. This control MAC specifies the destination MAC address for ISIS-SPB protocol frames. Vendors might use different control MAC addresses. You can change the ISIS-SPB control MAC for interoperability in a multivendor network.

Configuring ISIS-SPB authentication

ISIS-SPB authentication helps improve security in an SPBM network. It includes adjacency authentication and area authentication.

Configuring ISIS-SPB adjacency authentication

ISIS-SPB adjacency authentication guarantees that SPBM nodes establish adjacencies only with trustworthy neighbors.

SPBM nodes send adjacency authentication information (including the authentication method and password) in ISIS-SPB hello packets. The recipient establishes or maintains an adjacency with the sender only if the received authentication settings match its local authentication settings.

For two devices to establish an adjacency, you must configure the same authentication method and password on them.

To prevent loss of adjacencies, use the following procedure when you modify adjacency authentication settings:

1.        Disable adjacency authentication for incoming ISIS-SPB hello packets on the neighbor devices.

2.        Modify the authentication settings on the local end.

3.        Modify the authentication settings on the remote end.

4.        Enable adjacency authentication for incoming ISIS-SPB hello packets on the neighbor devices.

4.       (Optional.) Disable adjacency authentication for incoming IS-IS hello packets.

spbm authentication send-only

By default, the device authenticates incoming IS-IS hello packets if adjacency authentication is enabled.

 

Configuring ISIS-SPB area authentication

ISIS-SPB area authentication guarantees that SPBM nodes learn topology data only from trustworthy neighbors.

ISIS-SPB sends area authentication information (including the authentication method and password) in topology advertisement packets (LSP, CSNP, and PSNP). The recipients accept a topology advertisement packet only if the authentication settings in the packet match their local authentication settings.

For correct authentication, make sure the authentication method and password is the same across the SPBM network.

To prevent temporary drops of topology advertisement packets, use the following procedure when you modify authentication settings:

1.        Disable area authentication for incoming ISIS-SPB topology advertisement packets on the neighbor devices.

2.        Modify the authentication settings on the local end.

3.        Modify the authentication settings on the remote end.

4.        Enable area authentication for incoming ISIS-SPB topology advertisement packets on the neighbor devices.

Configuring Graceful Restart for ISIS-SPB

Graceful Restart ensures nonstop forwarding while ISIS-SPB processes are re-establishing their adjacency after SPBM is re-enabled or an active/standby switchover is performed.

Graceful Restart enables a restarting node (the GR restarter) to quickly recover its SPBM topology, routing, and session information from a neighbor (the GR helper). During the GR process, the GR helper maintains the adjacency with the GR restarter.

Typically, you only need to configure Graceful Restart on the GR restarter. As a best practice, configure Graceful Restart on an SPBM node if it is the only feature available on the node to ensure nonstop forwarding.

By default, ISIS-SPB Graceful Restart is disabled.

4.       (Optional.) Set the SA bit in ISIS-SPB hello PDUs.

undo graceful-restart suppress-sa

By default, the Suppress-Advertisement (SA) bit is set.

Setting the SA bit prevents the neighbor from advertising the ISIS-SPB adjacency with the GR restarter. This setting prevents route blackholes by temporarily excluding the restarter from the SPF computation on other SPBM nodes.

If the SA bit is not set, the ISIS-SPB neighbors advertise the ISIS-SPB adjacency with the device while the device is restarting.

5.       (Optional.) Set the T2 timer.

graceful-restart t2 t2-value

The default T2 timer is 300 seconds for ISIS-SPB Graceful Restart.

The device advertises the T2 timer as the adjacency hold time to its neighbor during a GR process. Before the timer expires, the neighbor maintains the adjacency with the device. If the device fails to complete the restart before this timer expires, the neighbor removes the adjacency.

 

Configuring SNMP notifications and context for SPBM

To report critical SPBM events to an NMS, enable SNMP notifications for SPBM. For SNMP notifications to be sent correctly, you must also configure SNMP on the device. For more information about SNMP configuration, see the network management and monitoring configuration guide for the device.

ISIS-SPB shares the standard IS-IS MIB with IS-IS and other protocols that use IS-IS in the control plane. For SNMP to correctly identify a protocol's management information in the standard IS-IS MIB, you must configure a unique context for each of these protocols. If a protocol supports multiple processes, you must assign a unique context to each process.

The context names must be unique among all the protocols and their processes.

Context is a method introduced to SNMPv3 for multiple instance managements. For SNMPv1/v2c, you must specify a context name as a community name for protocol identification.

Configuration procedure

This example uses BEB 1 to show the configuration procedure. You can configure other SPBM devices in the same way you configure BEB 1.

1.        Configure the new B-VLAN (VLAN 20 in this example):

Perform this task on all BEBs and BCBs in the SPBM network.

# Create VLAN 20.

<BEB1> system-view

[BEB1] vlan 20

[BEB1-vlan20] quit

# Map B-VLAN 20 to MSTI 4092, and activate the change.

[BEB1] stp region-configuration

[BEB1] interface hundredgige 1/0/3

[BEB1-HundredGigE1/0/3] port trunk permit vlan 20

[BEB1-HundredGigE1/0/3] quit

2.        Map B-VLAN 20 to ECT algorithm 2.

Perform this task on all BEBs and BCBs in the SPBM network.

[BEB1] spbm

[BEB1-spbm] ect 2 b-vlan 20

[BEB1-spbm] quit

3.        Assign B-VLAN 20 to I-SID 1000.

Perform this task on all BEBs in the SPBM network.

[BEB1] vsi test

[BEB1-vsi-test] spb i-sid 1000

[BEB1-vsi-test-1000] b-vlan 20

[BEB1-vsi-test-1000] quit

[BEB1-vsi-test] quit

[BEB1] quit

Verifying the configuration

1.        Verify the configuration and forwarding states during ECT migration:

?  On BEBs (BEB 1 in this example):

# Verify the ECT migration configuration for I-SID 1000.

<BEB1> display spbm ect-migration i-sid 1000
