Overview
Use this command to enable this G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP) instance to
send a Flush Event message after notification of a Topology Change Notification
(TCN) by a detecting instance.
Use the
no
variant of this command to disable the sending of the Flush Event.
Syntax
topology-change {g8032}
no topology-change {g8032}
Default
Topology change is enabled by default for G.8032.
Mode
G8032 Configure Switch
Usage
If this ERP instance is on an interconnecting node, then the ERP instance may need
to be notified of a topology change that occurred in another G.8032 sub-ring
attached to this node. The former will be termed the "target" ERP instance, and the
latter the "detecting" ERP instance.
The criteria for notification is:
•
the detecting ERP instance is configured as a sub-ring with a Terminating
interface,
•
it is protecting the same data VLANs as the target instance, and
•
the target ERP instance must have two ring ports.
When the detecting ERP instance detects a topology change on its sub-ring,
AlliedWare Plus™ will automatically determine which target ERP instance(s) needs
to be notified. It does this by comparing the same data VLANs in the detecting ERP
instance with all the other instances.
If target ERP instances are identified and these instances also have both an East
and a West interface configured, then those target instances are notified. Upon
notification, the target ERP instance has a couple of actions that it has to perform:
•
To flush the FDB on both its East and West interfaces for the protected
VLANs.
•
To send out an R-APS flush event message over its East and West interfaces.
The flush event message is sent around the target ring and each node on the
target ring will perform an FDB flush of its protected VLANs. The sending of
a R-APS flush event may not be needed in some cases and as such it is
configurable.
