Usage Scenario
When an RRPP ring accesses the virtual private LAN service (VPLS) network in which devices are connected using pseudo wires (PWs), the device cannot respond RRPP protocol packets directly. Therefore, the VPLS network cannot sense the status change of the RRPP ring. When the RRPP ring topology changes, each node in the VPLS network forwards downstream data according to the MAC address table generated before the RRPP ring topology changes. As a result, the downstream traffic cannot be forwarded. When RRPP snooping is configured on sub-interfaces or VLANIF interfaces, the VPLS network can transparently transmit RRPP protocol packets, detect the changes on the RRPP rings, and upgrade the forwarding entries to ensure that traffic is switched in time to a congestion-free path.
You can run the display rrpp snooping enable command to view the interfaces that are enabled with RRPP snooping.The actual command output varies according to the device. The command output here is only an example.
<HUAWEI> display rrpp snooping enable interface gigabitethernet0/1/1.1 Port VsiName Vlan -------------------------------------------------------- GE0/1/1.1 name1 100
<HUAWEI> display rrpp snooping enable all Port VsiName Vlan -------------------------------------------------------- GE0/1/1.1 name1 100 GE0/1/9.1 name2 200
Item | Description |
---|---|
Port | Indicates the name of the interface that is enabled with RRPP snooping. |
VsiName | Indicates the name of the VSI that is bound to the interface. |
Vlan | Indicates the VLAN that is associated with the interface. It refers to the control VLAN of the RRPP ring. |
