Example for Configuring Tangent RRPP Rings 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.

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 the domain to the instance.

  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 UPED to Ring 1 in Domain 1 and Ring 1 in Domain 2.

    2. Add UPED, UPEE, UPEF, and UPEG to Ring 1 in Domain 3.

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

    4. Configure UPEF as the master node and configure UPED, UPEE, and UPEG as transit nodes on Ring 1 in Domain 3.

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

Procedure

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

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

    <HUAWEI> system-view

[UPEA-mst-region] instance 2 vlan 10 11 201 to 300
[UPEA-mst-region] active region-configuration
[UPEA-mst-region] quit

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

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