Configuring basic SPBM settings on BEBs and BCBs
For SPBM to run, you must configure all settings in this section on all BEBs and BCBs.
Configuring MST region parameters
CAUTION:
Changing MST region settings causes spanning tree recalculation. Make sure you understand the impact
of this task on your network before you activate the MST region settings.
Configuring the SPBM multicast replication
Optimizing the SPB
network:
authentication:
Configuring the AP mode
Enabling the multicast B-VLAN feature
Remarks
Make sure the multicast replication mode for an
SPB VSI is the same across all SPBM nodes.
IMPORTANT:
To ensure correct path selection and traffic
forwarding, make sure B-VLAN to ECT algorithm
mappings and ISIS-SPB timer settings are
consistent across the network.
By default, all B-VLANs are mapped to ECT
algorithm 1. To optimize traffic distribution, map
B-VLANs to different ECT algorithms. To affect
the path selection result, you could change the
bridge priority and link metric values.
The following features help you manage the
network with ease:
•
Dynamic hostname exchange—Enables you
to identify SPBM nodes with symbolic
hostnames.
•
Adjacency change logging—Enables you to
track all adjacency changes. To suppress
frequent adjacency change messages,
disable this function.
•
SNMP notifications for SPBM—Enables you
to send SPBM event notifications to an NMS.
Perform this task to prevent temporary loops that
might occur when the topologies of SPBM
neighbors do not match.
Perform this task if tandem multicast replication is
used.
