How a Failure affects the Distributed Fabric

441

For example, if the resilient links were configured on Switches A and B, if the 
interconnect fails, both Switches will detect a failed link to Switch 3300 and both 
A and B will activate their links to Switch 3300. So both links in the resilient link 
will be passing traffic, potentially causing a loop in the network.

Figure 113   

How XRN interacts with Resilient Links 

How a Failure affects 
the Distributed Fabric

This section provides supplementary information on how the Distributed Fabric 
and traffic flow is affected by failure of an Fabric Interconnect and of a unit in the 
Distributed Fabric.

Loss of a Switch within 

the XRN Distributed 

Fabric

When a Switch unit in the Distributed Fabric fails, assuming you have followed the 
recommendations in 

“Important Considerations and Recommendations”

 on 

page 434

, your traffic flow should continue through your network. 

The way the network reacts depends upon which features are configured on 
which links. For example, 

Figure 114

 shows an XRN network where all the edge 

devices are connected to the Distributed Fabric using a range of supported 
features, some of which are legacy features.

Figure 114   

XRN Network reaction on Distributed Fabric unit failure

Should Switch A fail, the network will react in the following way:

LACP (IEEE 802.3ad) and Legacy Aggregated Links

The Switch 4400 and Switch 4300 Aggregated Links will reroute all traffic down 
the link connected to Switch B.
