  • Page 9: Spbm Overview

    SPBM overview IEEE 802.1aq Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) enables multipath routing in an Ethernet mesh network by using IS-IS as the control protocol. The technology allows all paths to be active, supports equal cost paths, and provides shortest path forwarding in an Ethernet mesh network. IEEE 802.1aq SPB provides faster convergence, higher link efficiency, and larger Layer 2 topologies than conventional spanning tree protocols such as MSTP.

  • Page 10: Bcb

    Backbone core bridges (BCBs) are core nodes of an SPBM network. They are identical to the P devices in an MPLS VPN network. BCBs forward MAC-in-MAC frames based on the B-MAC and B-VLAN. They do not learn customer MAC (C-MAC) addresses. Backbone edge bridges (BEBs) are edge nodes of the SPBM network.

  • Page 11: Lsdb

    LSDB A link state database (LSDB) contains the states of all links in an SPBM network. MAC-in-MAC SPBM encapsulates Ethernet frames into MAC-in-MAC frames by using 802.1ah PBB encapsulation. For more information about the MAC-in-MAC frame format, see "Data paths." Customer frames are encapsulated in MAC-in-MAC format at edges of the SPBM network before they are forwarded from one customer site to another.

  • Page 12: Spbm Data Packet

    SPBM data packet SPBM data packets use the IEEE 802.1ah MAC-in-MAC frame format, as shown in Figure Figure 2 IEEE 802.1ah-compliant MAC-in-MAC frame format Table 1 IEEE 802.1ah encapsulated frame header fields Field Description B-DA Destination B-MAC that identifies the destination BEB. Source B-MAC.

  • Page 13: Formation And Maintenance Of Isis-Spb Adjacencies

    Each node runs SPF to calculate the shortest path from itself to each of the other nodes. If equal-cost paths are available, each node runs ECT to choose the best forwarding path. The nodes populate their respective FDB and FIB tables with the forwarding path. BEBs establish PWs over the SPBM network for transmitting customer traffic.

To prevent traffic loss, ECT migration was designed based on the idea of make-before-break.

  • Page 20: Loop Prevention

    Loop prevention SPBM nodes collect topology data independently to calculate forwarding paths. Transient loops might occur during SPT recalculation caused by a network flapping because the latency varies for an LSP to reach the SPBM nodes. SPBM uses the Agreement Protocol (AP) to prevent transient loops. AP introduces a delay for ISIS-SPB to issue forwarding entries to the data plane.

  • Page 21: Configuring Spbm

    Configuring SPBM Configuration restrictions and guidelines For SPBM to operate correctly, follow the restrictions and guidelines in this section when you configure SPBM. Hardware restrictions In an MDC on an SPBM node, a provider network port cannot be in the same port group as an IRF physical port, EVI tunnel source interface, or Layer 3 Ethernet interface.

Group 2—Ports 13 to 24. 48-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet fiber interface card Group 3—Ports 25 to 36. Group 4—Ports 37 to 48.

  • Page 23: Licensing Requirements

    Feature Restrictions and guidelines Do not use B-VLANs for other purposes such as EVI extended VLANs or VLAN interfaces. Before specifying a VLAN as a B-VLAN, you must remove all features that have been configured on the VLAN. You must configure the provider network ports on BEBs and BCBs as trunk or VLAN hybrid ports, and assign them to all B-VLANs as tagged VLAN members.

    Creating an SPB VSI SPBM uses a unique I-SID to identify an SPB VSI. An SPB VSI's I-SID must be the same across the SPBM network. I-SID 255 is reserved for the fast channel. You cannot associate any Ethernet service instance with the VSI that uses I-SID 255.
