SEP topology change notification
SEP Topology Change
Notification
Description
An interface fault occurs.
shows an interface fault in a SEP segment.
An interface fault can be a link fault or neighboring
interface fault.
If a device having an interface in Forwarding state in the
SEP segment receives a fault advertisement packet, the
device needs to send a Flush-Forwarding Database (Flush-
FDB) packet through the interface to notify other nodes in
the SEP segment that there is a change in topology.
The fault is rectified and the
preemption function takes
effect.
After faults occur in the SEP segment and the last faulty
interface recovers, the blocked interface is preempted and
the topology is considered changed.
Preemption is triggered by the primary edge interface.
When an interface in a SEP segment receives a preemption
packet from the primary edge interface, the interface needs
to send Flush-FDB packets to notify other nodes in the
SEP segment that there is a change in topology.
