Figure 63: Core connectivity Failure

The device that loses core connectivity starts sending start-up BPDUs. The following diagram illustrates how

traffic flows in the access network when an nPE device loses core connectivity.

Figure 64: Active Topology Change

Start-up BPDUs are sent from the disconnected router to ensure that it is not used as a path to the core from

the access ring. This changes the active topology in the access rings depending on the STP configuration.

The MSTAG Uplink Tracking feature has these benefits:

• Reduction in the frequency of traffic outages

• Reduced need for redundancy in connectivity from the gateway to the core network

• Configure MSTAG

Only physical and bundle interfaces, and their sub interfaces can be tracked for core connectivity. Psuedowires

themselves cannot be tracked, only the underlying interface carrying the psuedowire traffic can be tracked.
