Chapter 1 Configuring Flex Links and the MAC Address-Table Move Update Feature
Understanding Flex Links and the MAC Address-Table Move Update
Whenever a host responds to the general query, the switch forwards this report on all the mrouter ports.
When you turn on this feature through the command-line port, and when a report is forwarded by the
switch on GigabitEthernet1/0/11, it is also leaked to the backup port GigabitEthernet1/0/12. The
upstream router learns the groups and starts forwarding multicast data, which is dropped at the ingress
because GigabitEthernet1/0/12 is blocked. When the active link, GigabitEthernet1/0/11, goes down, the
backup port, GigabitEthernet1/0/12, begins forwarding. You do not need to send any proxy reports as
the multicast data is already being forwarded by the upstream router. By leaking reports to the backup
port, a redundant multicast path has been set up, and the time taken for the multicast traffic convergence
is very minimal.
MAC Address-Table Move Update
The MAC address-table move update feature allows the switch to provide rapid bidirectional
convergence when a primary (forwarding) link goes down and the standby link begins forwarding traffic.
In
, switch A is an access switch, and ports 1 and 2 on switch A are connected to uplink
switches B and D through a Flex Link pair. Port 1 is forwarding traffic, and port 2 is in the backup state.
Traffic from the PC to the server is forwarded from port 1 to port 3. The MAC address of the PC has
been learned on port 3 of switch C. Traffic from the server to the PC is forwarded from port 3 to port 1.
If the MAC address-table move update feature is not configured and port 1 goes down, port 2 starts
forwarding traffic. However, for a short time, switch C keeps forwarding traffic from the server to the
PC through port 3, and the PC does not get the traffic because port 1 is down. If switch C removes the
MAC address of the PC on port 3 and relearns it on port 4, traffic can then be forwarded from the server
to the PC through port 2.
If the MAC address-table move update feature is configured and enabled on the switches in
and port 1 goes down, port 2 starts forwarding traffic from the PC to the server. The switch sends a MAC
address-table move update packet from port 2. Switch C gets this packet on port 4 and immediately
learns the MAC address of the PC on port 4, which reduces the reconvergence time.
You can configure the access switch, switch A, to
send
MAC address-table move update messages. You
can also configure the uplink switches B, C, and D to
get
and process the MAC address-table move
update messages. When switch C gets a MAC address-table move update message from switch A,
switch C learns the MAC address of the PC on port 4. Switch C updates the MAC address table,
including the forwarding table entry for the PC.
Switch A does not need to wait for the MAC address-table update. The switch detects a failure on port 1
and immediately starts forwarding server traffic from port 2, the new forwarding port. This change
occurs in 100 milliseconds (ms). The PC is directly connected to switch A, and the connection status
does not change. Switch A does not need to update the PC entry in the MAC address table.
