Figure 41 TC Snooping application scenario
To avoid traffic interruption, you can enable TC Snooping on the IRF fabric. After receiving a
TC-BPDU through a port, the IRF fabric updates MAC address table and ARP table entries
associated with the port's VLAN. In this way, TC Snooping prevents topology change from
interrupting traffic forwarding in the network. For more information about the MAC address table and
the ARP table, see "Configuring the MAC address table" and
Layer 3—IP Services Configuration
Guide
.
