LINK-DOWN-FLUSH_FDB packet
LINK-UP-FLUSH_FDB packet
55.1.3 MRPP Protocol Operation System
1. Link Down Alarm System
When transfer node finds themselves belonging to MRPP ring port Down, it sends link Down packet to
primary node immediately. The primary node receives link down packet and immediately releases block state
of secondary port, and sends LINK-DOWN-FLUSH-FDB packet to inform all of transfer nodes, refreshing own
MAC address forward list.
2. Poll System
The primary port of primary node sends Hello packet to its neighbors timely according to configured
Hello-timer.
If the ring is health, the secondary port of primary node receives health detect packet, and the primary node
keeps secondary port.
If the ring is break, the secondary port of primary node can't receive health detect packet when timer is over
time. The primary releases the secondary port block state, and sends LINK-DOWN-FLUSH_FDB packet to
inform all of transfer nodes, to refresh own MAC address forward list.
3. Ring Restore
After the primary node occur ring fail, if the secondary port receives Hello packet sending from primary node,
the ring has been restored, at the same time the primary node block its secondary port, and sends its
neighbor LINK-UP-Flush-FDB packet.
After MRPP ring port refresh UP on transfer node, the primary node maybe find ring restore after a while. For
the normal data VLAN, the network maybe forms a temporary ring and creates broadcast storm. To avoid
temporary ring, transfer node finds it to connect to ring network port to refresh UP, immediately block
temporarily (only permit control VLAN packet pass), after only receiving LINK-UP-FLUSH-FDB packet from
primary node, and releases the port block state.
55.2 MRPP Configuration Task List
1) Globally enable MRPP
After primary node detects ring failure or receives LINK-DOWN
packet, open blocked secondary port, and then uses two ports
to send the packet, to inform each transfer node to refresh own
MAC address.
After primary detects ring failure to restore normal, and uses
packet from primary port, and informs each transfer node to
refresh own MAC address.
