With the emergence of Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet, Ethernet is gaining popularity in metropolitan area networks (MANs) and wide area networks (WANs) as well, increasing the need for an effective management and maintenance mechanism for Ethernet.

    OAMPDUs to its peer. After receiving these frames, the peer does not forward them according to their destination addresses. Instead, it returns them to the sender along the original path. Remote loopback enables you to check the link status and locate link failures. Performing remote loopback periodically helps to detect network faults promptly.

  • Page 14: Configuring The Ethernet Oam Connection Detection Timers

    After the timeout timer of an Ethernet OAM connection expires, the local OAM entity ages out its connection with the peer OAM entity, causing the OAM connection to be disconnected. HP recommends setting the connection timeout timer to at least five times the handshake packet transmission interval, ensuring the stability of Ethernet OAM connections.

  • Page 21: Cfd Configuration

    CFD configuration Overview Connectivity Fault Detection (CFD), which conforms to IEEE 802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) and ITU-T Y.1731, is an end-to-end per-VLAN link layer Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) mechanism used for link connectivity detection, fault verification, and fault location. Basic concepts in CFD Maintenance domain A maintenance domain (MD) defines the network where CFD plays its role.
  • Page 22 An MA serves a VLAN. Packets sent by the MPs in an MA carry the relevant VLAN tag. An MP can receive packets sent by other MPs in the same MA. Maintenance point An MP is configured on a port and belongs to an MA. MPs fall into two types: maintenance association end points (MEPs) and maintenance association intermediate points (MIPs).

  • Page 23: Cfd Functions

    By cooperating with MEPs, a MIP can perform a function similar to ping and traceroute. Like a MEP, a MIP forwards packets at a higher level without any processing and only processes packets of its own level or lower. Figure 6 demonstrates a grading example of the CFD module.
  • Page 24  Test (TST) Connectivity faults are usually caused by device faults or configuration errors. CC checks the connectivity between MEPs. This function is implemented through periodic sending of CCMs by the MEPs. As a multicast message, a CCM sent by one MEP is intended to be received by all the other MEPs in the same MA.

    which carries the reception time and transmission time of the DMM and the transmission time of the DMR. Upon receiving the DMR, the source MEP records the DMR reception time, and calculates the link transmission delay and jitter according to the DMR reception time and DMM transmission time. DMM frames and DMR frames are multicast frames.

  • Page 40: Dldp Configuration

    DLDP configuration Overview Background Unidirectional links occur when one end of a link can receive packets from the other end, but the other end cannot receive packets sent by the first end. Unidirectional links result in problems such as loops in an STP-enabled network.

  • Page 41: How Dldp Works

    The Device link detection protocol (DLDP) detects unidirectional links (fiber links or twisted-pair links) and can be configured to shut down the related port automatically or prompt users to take actions to avoid network problems. As a data link layer protocol, DLDP cooperates with physical layer protocols to monitor link status. When the auto-negotiation mechanism provided by the physical layer detects physical signals and faults, DLDP performs operations such as identifying peer devices, detecting unidirectional links, and shutting down unreachable ports.
  • Page 42 DLDP timers Table 11 DLDP timers DLDP timer Description Determines the interval for sending Advertisement packets with RSY tags, which defaults to 1 second. By default, a switch in the active DLDP link state sends one Active timer Advertisement packet with RSY tags every second. The maximum number of advertisement packets with RSY tags that can be sent successively is 5.
  • Page 43 DLDP mode DLDP can operate in normal or enhanced mode.  In normal DLDP mode, when an entry timer expires, the switch removes the corresponding neighbor entry and sends an Advertisement packet with the RSY tag.

  • Page 59: Rrpp Configuration

    RRPP configuration RRPP overview The Rapid Ring Protection Protocol (RRPP) is a link layer protocol designed for Ethernet rings. RRPP can prevent broadcast storms caused by data loops when an Ethernet ring is healthy, and rapidly restore the communication paths between the nodes in the event that a link is disconnected on the ring. RRPP features fast topology convergence.
  • Page 60 As shown in Figure 13, Domain 1 is an RRPP domain, including two RRPP rings: Ring 1 and Ring 2. All the nodes on the two RRPP rings belong to the RRPP domain. RRPP ring A ring-shaped Ethernet topology is called an “RRPP ring”. RRPP rings fall into two types: primary ring and subring.
  • Page 61 As shown in Figure 13, Ring 1 is the primary ring and Ring 2 is a subring. Device A is the master node of Ring 1, and Device B, Device C, and Device D are the transit nodes of Ring 1. Device E is the master node of Ring 2, Device B is the edge node of Ring 2, and Device C is the assistant-edge node of Ring 2.

  • Page 62: Rrppdus

    RRPPDUs Table 17 RRPPDU types and their functions Type Description The master node initiates Hello packets to detect the integrity of a ring in a Hello network. The transit node, the edge node, or the assistant-edge node initiates Link-Down Link-Down packets to notify the master node of the disappearance of a ring in case of a link failure.

  • Page 63: How Rrpp Works

    How RRPP works Polling mechanism The polling mechanism is used by the master node of an RRPP ring to check the Health state of the ring network. The master node sends Hello packets out its primary port periodically. These Hello packets travel through each transit node on the ring in turn.

  • Page 64: Typical Rrpp Networking

    Device B is the master node of Ring 1 in Domain 2. With such configurations, traffic of different VLANs can be transmitted on different links to achieve load balancing in the single-ring network. RRPP ring group In an edge node RRPP ring group, only an activated subring with the lowest domain ID and ring ID can send Edge-Hello packets.

  • Page 114: Track Configuration

    Track configuration Track overview Introduction to collaboration The track module works between application and detection modules, as Figure 28 shows. It shields the application modules from the differences between various detection modules. Collaboration is enabled after you associate the track module with a detection module and an application module respectively.

  • Page 115: Collaboration Application Example

    The following detection modules can be associated with the track module:   Interface management module Collaboration between the track module and an application module When the status of the track entry changes, the track module notifies the associated application module, which then takes proper actions.
