Example for Configuring a Single RRPP Ring with Multiple Instances

Networking Requirements

As shown in Figure 1, on a ring network, idle links are required to forward data. In this way, data in different VLANs are forwarded along different paths, improving network efficiency and implementing load balancing.

Data Plan

Table 1 shows the mapping between protected VLANs and instances in Domain 1 and Domain 2.

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

  1. Create different RRPP domains and control VLANs.

  2. Map the VLANs that need to pass through Ring 1 in Domain 1 to Instance 1, including data VLANs and control VLANs.

    Map the VLANs that need to pass through Ring 1 in Domain 2 to Instance 2, including data VLANs and control VLANs.

  3. Configure interfaces to be added to the RRPP domain on the devices so that data can pass through the interfaces. Disable protocols that conflict with RRPP, such as STP.

  4. Configure protected VLANs and create RRPP rings in RRPP domains.

    1. Add UPEA, UPEB, UPEC, and PEAGG to Ring 1 in Domain 1. Configure PEAGG as the master node on Ring 1 in Domain 1 and configure UPEA, UPEB, and UPEC as transit nodes.

    2. Add UPEA, UPEB, UPEC, and PEAGG to Ring 1 in Domain 2. Configure PEAGG as the master node on Ring 1 in Domain 2 and configure UPEA, UPEB, and UPEC as transit nodes.

  5. Enable the RRPP ring and RRPP protocol on devices to make RRPP take effect.

Procedure

  1. Create an RRPP domain and its control VLAN.

    # Configure UPEA. The configurations on UPEB, UPEC, and PEAGG are similar to that on UPEA and not mentioned here. For details, see the configuration files.

    <HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] sysname UPEA
[UPEA] rrpp domain 1
[UPEA-rrpp-domain-region1] control-vlan 5
[UPEA-rrpp-domain-region1] quit
[UPEA] rrpp domain 2
[UPEA-rrpp-domain-region2] control-vlan 10
[UPEA-rrpp-domain-region2] quit

  2. Configure instances, and map it to the data VLANs and control VLANs allowed by the RRPP interface.

    # Configure UPEA. The configurations on UPEB, UPEC, and PEAGG are the same as that of UPEA and not mentioned here. For details, see the configuration files.

    [UPEA] vlan batch 100 to 300
[UPEA] stp region-configuration 
[UPEA-mst-region] instance 1 vlan 5 6 100 to 200
[UPEA-mst-region] instance 2 vlan 10 11 201 to 300
[UPEA-mst-region] active region-configuration
[UPEA-mst-region] quit

  3. Configure the interfaces to be added into the RRPP rings.

    # Configure UPEA. The configurations on UPEB, UPEC, and PEAGG are the same as that of UPEA and not mentioned here. For details, see the configuration files.

    [UPEA] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
[UPEA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port link-type trunk
[UPEA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] undo port trunk allow-pass vlan 1
[UPEA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port trunk allow-pass vlan 100 to 300
[UPEA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] stp disable
[UPEA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit
[UPEA] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/2
