flooded out of all member ports. Since all the servers in the cluster receive traffic, failover and balancing
are preserved.
Enable and Disable VLAN Flooding
• The older ARP entries are overwritten whenever newer NLB entries are learned.
• All ARP entries, learned after the feature is enabled, are deleted when the feature is disabled, and RP2
triggers an ARP resolution. The feature is disabled with the
no ip vlan-flooding
command.
• When a port is added to the VLAN, the port automatically receives traffic if the feature is enabled. Old
ARP entries are not deleted or updated.
• When a member port is deleted, its ARP entries are also deleted from the CAM.
• Port channels in the VLAN also receive traffic.
• There is no impact on the configuration from saving the configuration.
• The feature, if enabled, is displayed in the
show running-config
command output that displays the
ip vlan-flooding
CLI configuration. Apart from it, there is no indication of the enabling of this
capability.
Configuring a Switch for NLB
This functionality is supported on the Z9000 platform.
To enable a switch for unicast NLB mode of functioning, perform the following steps:
Enter the
ip vlan-flooding
command to specify that all Layer 3 unicast routed data traffic, going
through a VLAN member port, needs to be flooded across all the member ports of that VLAN. There
might be some ARP table entries that are resolved through ARP packets, which had the Ethernet MAC
SA different from the MAC information inside the ARP packet. This unicast data traffic flooding
occurs only for those packets that use these ARP entries.
CONFIGURATION mode
ip vlan-flooding
To enable a switch for multicast NLB mode of functioning, perform the following steps:
1.
In the multicast mode of NLB, add a static ARP entry by entering the
arp ip-address
multicast-mac-address
command in Global configuration mode to associate an IP address with
a multicast MAC address in the switch. This setting causes the multicast MAC address to be mapped
to the cluster IP address for the NLB mode of operation of the switch.
INTERFACE mode
arp
ip-address multicast-mac-address interface
2.
Associate specific MAC or hardware addresses to VLANs.
CONFIGURATION mode
mac-address-table static
multicast-mac-address
vlan vlan-id output-range
interface
