Routing protocols used to provide convergence can be any of the following: IP unicast static routes,
RIPv1, RIPv2, OSPF, or BGP.
RSMLT navigation
• SMLT and RSMLT operation
• RSMLT router failure and recovery
• RSMLT guidelines
• RSMLT timer tuning
• Example: RSMLT redundant network with bridged and routed edge VLANs
• Example: RSMLT network with static routes at the access layer
• IPv6 RSMLT on page 91
SMLT and RSMLT operation
The following figure shows a typical redundant network with user aggregation, core, and server
access layers. To minimize the creation of many IP subnets, one VLAN (VLAN 1, IP subnet A)
spans all wiring closets. SMLT provides loop prevention and enables all links to forward to VLAN 1,
IP Subnet A.
