  • Page 7: Configuring Trill

    Configuring TRILL Transparent Interconnect of Lots of Links (TRILL) uses IS-IS to provide transparent Layer 2 forwarding. Overview TRILL combines the simplicity and flexibility of Layer 2 switching with the stability, scalability, and rapid convergence capability of Layer 3 routing. All these advantages make TRILL very suitable for large flat Layer 2 networks in data centers.

Version number, which is 0. When an RB receives a TRILL frame, it checks the V field and drops the frame if the V field is not 0.

  • Page 9: How Trill Works

    How TRILL works TRILL establishes and maintains adjacencies between RBs by periodically advertising Hello frames, distributes LSPs among RB neighbors, and generates an LSDB for all RBs in the network. Based on the LSDB, each RB uses the SPF algorithm to calculate forwarding entries destined to other RBs. TRILL forwarding mechanisms Different types of frames are forwarded using different forwarding mechanisms.

  • Page 10: Protocols And Standards

    Multi-destination frame forwarding mechanism In a TRILL network, RBs perform the following operations: • Compute a TRILL distribution tree for each VLAN according to the LSDB. Use the TRILL distribution tree to guide the forwarding of multi-destination frames, which include •...

  • Page 11: Configuration Restrictions And Guidelines

    For more information about spanning tree protocols, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide. H3C recommends not enabling loop detection on TRILL ports, because TRILL networks prevent loops • from being generated. For more information about loopback detection, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.

  • Page 20 TRILL distribution trees support Equal Cost Multiple Path (ECMP), also known as multicast ECMP. When multicast ECMP is disabled, because the topologies of TRILL distribution trees are different, traffic can be load shared. However, equal-cost links are not used for load sharing. When N equal-cost links exist in the network, each TRILL distribution tree selects the link with the largest pseudo-node ID for forwarding packets.

    Configuring TRILL GR Graceful Restart (GR) ensures the continuity of packet forwarding when a protocol restarts or an active/standby switchover occurs. The device on which a protocol restarts or an active/standby switchover occurs advertises the restart status to the neighbors, and allows the neighbors to re-establish connections.
