Enabling an Intermediate Device to Receive SmartLink Flush Packets

Procedure

1. Run system-view

   The system view is displayed.

2. Run vlan vlan-id

   A control VLAN is created and its view is displayed.

   The control VLAN is used to send SmartLink Flush packets between Eth-Trunk interfaces in manual 1:1 master/backup mode. The control VLAN ID must be the same as the VLAN ID of sent SmartLink Flush packets.

3. Run quit

   Return to the system view.

4. Run interface interface-type interface-number

   The interface view is displayed. The intermediate devices' interfaces that connect to the Eth-Trunk interfaces at both ends of the Eth-Trunk link as well as the intermediate devices' interfaces that connect to each other must all be specified.

5. Run portswitch

   The interface is switched to Layer 2 mode.

6. Run port trunk allow-pass vlan { { vlan-id1 [ to vlan-id2 ] } &<1-10> | all }

   The interface is enabled to allow packets from the control VLAN to pass through.

   The VLAN ID of received and sent SmartLink Flush packets must be the same.

7. Run smart-link flush enable control-vlan vlan-id

   The interface is enabled to receive SmartLink Flush packets.

8. Run commit

   The configuration is committed.
