Figure 41 TC Snooping application scenario
To avoid traffic interruption, you can enable TC Snooping on the IRF fabric. After receiving a
TC-BPDU through a port, the IRF fabric updates MAC address table and ARP table entries
associated with the port's VLAN. In this way, TC Snooping prevents topology change from
interrupting traffic forwarding in the network. For more information about the MAC address table and
the ARP table, see
Guide.

When you configure TC Snooping, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•
TC Snooping and the spanning tree feature are mutually exclusive. You must globally disable
