SPBM commands

ap-mode

Use ap-mode to configure the agreement protocol (AP) mode.
Use undo ap-mode to restore the default.
Syntax
ap-mode { both | multicast | off }
undo ap-mode
Default
AP is enabled for both unicast and multicast FDB entries.
Views
SPBM view
Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
both: Enables AP for both unicast and multicast FDB entries.
multicast: Enables AP only for multicast FDB entries.
off: Disables AP.
Usage guidelines
AP prevents temporary loops that might occur when the topologies of SPBM neighbors do not match.
If AP is enabled, ISIS-SPB issues forwarding entries to the FIB tables in the data plane only if AP declares
a topology match after LSDB synchronization is complete.
NOTE:
Do not confuse the "AP" in this document with access points, which are wireless access devices.
Examples
# Enable AP for multicast FDB entries.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] spbm
[Sysname-spbm] ap-mode multicast

area-authentication send-only

Use area-authentication send-only to disable authentication for incoming ISIS-SPB topology
advertisement packets (LSPs, CSNPs, and PSNPs).
Use undo area-authentication send-only to restore the default.
