Manually Sending A Protection Request; Configuring The Ringlet Selection Table; Adding A Static Ringlet Selection Entry - HPE FlexNetwork HSR6800 series Configuration Manual

Step
2. Enter RPR logical
interface view.
3. Configure the
protection reversion
mode.

Manually sending a protection request

You can send FS or MS protection requests to trigger protection switchover or send idle protection
requests to clear manually sent protection requests on the RPR station.
To send a protection request:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter RPR logical interface view.
3. Send an RPR protection request on a ringlet.

Configuring the ringlet selection table

Each RPR station maintains a ringlet selection table for making ringlet selection decisions for frame
transmission. A ringlet selection table entry contains such information as the MAC address of a
station, the ringlet through which frames are transmitted.
The following are supported RPR ringlet selection tables:
•
Static ringlet selection table—Administratively configured to specify the ringlet for delivering
a frame to a destination station.
•
Dynamic ringlet selection table—Built dynamically based on the topology database, also
known as "shortest path ringlet selection table."
•
Default ringlet selection table—Specifies the default ringlet for delivering frames.
•
Overall ringlet selection table—Created from the above three tables. In the case of closed
ringlets, static ringlet selection table has the highest priority. If a static ringlet selection entry is
available for reaching a destination station, it is added into the overall ringlet selection table. If
no static entry is available, the system looks at the dynamic ringlet selection table. If two
shortest paths are available, default ringlet selection applies to pick up one from them. The
selected entry is then added into the overall ringlet selection table. When sending frames, the
station consults this table to identify the path to the destination MAC address. In the case of
open ringlets, the overall ringlet selection table can be created from only the dynamic ringlet
selection table.
•
Virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP) ringlet selection table—Saves the one-to-one
map between the virtual MAC address and real MAC address for each master VRRP station.
The VRRP ringlet selection table determines the ringlet for a frame whose destination address
is a virtual MAC address.
