Q.
What restrictions and guidelines should I follow when I configure TRILL?
A.
You must make sure that TRILL ports and non-TRILL ports do not form loops in the network. As a best practice,
assign TRILL ports and non-TRILL ports to different VLANs if they might form loops.
Q.
Does a TRILL port support multiple neighbors?
A.
No. A TRILL port can have only one neighbor because of hardware limitations.
Q.
Can I enable uRPF after configuring static routes or dynamic routing protocols?
A.
As a best practice, do not enable uRPF after configuring static routes or dynamic routing protocols. The uRPF
feature will decrease the routing table size by half and cause network flapping.
Q.
Does the switch support FCoE?
A.
No.
Q.
Does the switch support VXLAN?
A.
Yes.
Q.
Can I configure multiple ENDSs for an EVI tunnel?
A.
Yes. You can configure a maximum of two ENDSs on an EVI tunnel interface. To guarantee that each edge
device can obtain the addresses of all its EVI neighbors, make sure the ENDSs are the same across the EVI
network.
Q.
What is the difference between an EVI link and an EVI tunnel?
A.
An EVI link is a bidirectional virtual Ethernet channel between a pair of edge devices in an EVI network. Data
is transported transparently over EVI links between network sites. EVI links are conveyed on EVI tunnels. An EVI
tunnel can convey multiple EVI links. Each EVI link is uniquely identified by a pair of source and destination EVI
tunnel interface IP addresses.
An EVI tunnel is a point-to-many automatic GRE tunnel. It conveys up to 32 EVI links for an EVI network. An edge
device establishes connections with multiple remote-site edge devices over an EVI tunnel. Each connection is
represented as an EVI link.
