When the parent connects to a level-1 AS through a fabric port across a network, the parent-side fabric port needs to be configured to the indirect connection mode. After this fabric port is bound to an Eth-Trunk, the configurations required for Layer 2 management VLAN communication on the Eth-Trunk must be manually configured. However, if the parent is directly connected to a level-1 AS, these configurations can be automatically generated.
The system view is displayed.
The uni-mng view is displayed.
A fabric port is created and the fabric port view is displayed.
The indirect connection mode is configured for the fabric port.
The default connection mode of a fabric port is direct connection.
The fabric port is bound to an Eth-Trunk.
A fabric port can be bound to only the Eth-Trunk that has not been created. When a fabric port is bound to an Eth-Trunk, the system creates the Eth-Trunk.
The description of the fabric port is configured.
By default, a fabric port does not have a description.
To facilitate fabric port management and identification, you can configure descriptions for fabric ports. For example, you can describe the name of an AS that connects to a fabric port.
Exit from the fabric port view.
Exit from the uni-mng view.
The Eth-Trunk interface view is displayed. The Eth-Trunk is the one bound in step 5. Perform the following configurations on the Eth-Trunk for Layer 2 management VLAN communication.
Configuration |
Command |
Description |
|---|---|---|
Set the link type of the Eth-Trunk to hybrid. |
port link-type hybrid |
- |
Add a port to the management VLAN. |
port hybrid tagged vlan vlan-id |
- |
Enable root protection. |
stp root-protection |
- |
Configure the port as a non-edge port. |
stp edged-port disable |
- |
Disable an interface from detecting loops in the local VLAN (applicable only to modular switches). |
loop-detection disable |
- |
Configure the port as a control point. |
authentication control-point open |
- |
Configure the Eth-Trunk to work in LACP mode. |
mode lacp |
The Eth-Trunk working mode configuration must be consistent on the member port in the indirectly connected fabric port of the parent and the Layer 2 network port connected to the member port. If the Eth-Trunk working mode on the Layer 2 network port is set to LACP, the Eth-Trunk working mode on the member port must also be set to LACP. |
The Eth-Trunk interface view is displayed.
The interface view is displayed.
The current interface is added to the Eth-Trunk.
You can perform the two steps multiple times to add multiple interfaces to an Eth-Trunk.
Before removing an Up member port from a fabric port, run the shutdown command in the interface view to shut down the member port.
When a port joins a downlink fabric port of the parent, the port enters the blocking state. When the port negotiates with the peer port successfully, the port is unblocked.
