8.3.4 Hybrid SEP+MSTP Ring Networking
, Router1 to Router3 form a SEP segment to access the MSTP ring.
The networking is called hybrid SEP+MSTP ring networking. Router1 to Router3 are at the
access layer and transparently transmit Layer 2 unicast and multicast services. When SEP runs
at the access layer, redundancy protection switching can be implemented at the access layer.
If the topology of the access layer changes, a node in the SEP segment sends a Flush-FDB packet
to instruct other nodes in the SEP segment to update their MAC address forwarding tables and
ARP tables. Router1 and Router2 at the edge of the SEP segment send a TC packet to notify the
aggregation layer of the topology change in the SEP segment.
In hybrid-ring networking, no-neighbor edge interfaces need to be deployed on the edge devices
of SEP networks, and the SEP networks need to report topology changes to MSTP networks.
