  • Page 7 Configuring TRILL About TRILL TRansparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) uses IS-IS to provide transparent Layer 2 forwarding. 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 Layer 2 networks in data centers.

  • Page 9 Layer 2 forwarding mechanisms TRILL forwards the traffic within a VLAN by using the following mechanisms: Unicast frame forwarding mechanism As shown in Figure 2, a unicast frame is forwarded as follows: When a unicast frame enters the TRILL network, the ingress RB encapsulates the original Ethernet frame with the following headers: A TRILL header (similar to an IP header).
  • Page 10 • The maximum number of TRILL distribution trees that the RB can compute (this number is fixed at 15). • The number of TRILL distribution trees that the RB has computed. • The priority for the RB to be a TRILL distribution tree root. Each RB can compute a maximum of m TRILL distribution trees.
  • Page 11 TRILL selects distribution trees for forwarding multidestination frames based on the VLANs to which the frames belong. 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 pseudonode ID for forwarding packets.

  • Page 17 same priority, the RB with the highest system ID uses the nickname. The system automatically assigns new nicknames to the other RBs. Restrictions and guidelines Changing the system ID of an RB causes the system to reset the TRILL process. As a best practice, do not change the system ID of an RB when a TRILL network operates correctly.
  • Page 18 Configuring the DRB priority of a TRILL port About this task On a broadcast network, TRILL must elect a DRB. An RB with a higher DRB priority is preferred in DRB election. When two RBs have the same DRB priority, the RB with a higher MAC address takes precedence.
  • Page 19 The default setting is 2000. Make sure a TRILL port and its peer TRILL port use the same link cost. Configuring announcing VLANs and the designated VLAN About this task The concepts and symbols used to describe a VLAN on port are as follows: •...
  • Page 20 Hello multiplier. The RB advertises the adjacency holding time to neighbors through Hello frames. If a neighbor does not receive any Hello frame from the RB within the adjacency holding time, it removes the TRILL adjacency with the RB. AVF inhibition time As the AVF of a VLAN, the RB guarantees that frames of the VLAN enter and leave a broadcast network through the same port.
  • Page 21 Configuring TRILL LSP parameters and features Setting TRILL LSP parameters About this task You can set the following LSP parameters: • LSP maximum age—The RB uses the LSP maximum age as the remaining lifetime of the LSPs that it originates. When the RB detects that the remaining lifetime of an LSP reaches 0 seconds in the LSDB, the RB performs the following operations: Removes the LSP's content.
  • Page 22 Set the LSP refresh interval. timer lsp-refresh time The default setting is 900 seconds. Set the TRILL LSP generation timer parameters. timer lsp-generation maximum-interval [ minimum-interval [ incremental-interval ] ] By default, the maximum LSP generation interval is 2 seconds, the minimum interval is 10 milliseconds, and the incremental interval is 20 milliseconds.
  • Page 23 By default, TRILL LSP fast advertisement is disabled. Enabling TRILL pseudonode bypass About this task This feature disables a DRB from generating LSPs for the pseudonode when the DRB has only one neighbor on a broadcast network. This reduces the number of LSPs in the network. Procedure Enter system view.

Configure the number of TRILL distribution trees that the RB wants all RBs to compute. trees calculate count The default setting is 1. Enabling TRILL distribution tree multithread calculation About this task This feature enables a multicore CPU device to improve TRILL distribution tree calculation efficiency by using each thread to calculate a distribution tree.

Set the delay timer for the RB to switch ingress traffic to a new TRILL distribution tree. seconds ingress assign-delay The default delay timer is 300 seconds.
  • Page 26 The incremental flush feature enables the device to compare the outgoing port list and local receiving flag of an entry with its next higher level entry. If the two entries have the same outgoing port list and local receiving flag, the higher level entry is issued to the TRILL FIB. For example, if entry RB 2 and entry RB 2+VLAN 10 have the same outgoing port list and local receiving flag, entry RB 2 is issued.
  • Page 27 Configuring TRILL GR About this task Graceful Restart (GR) ensures the continuity of packet forwarding when a protocol restarts or an active/standby switchover occurs on the RB. The RB advertises the restart status to its neighbors, and allows the neighbors to re-establish connections. GR involves the following roles: •...
