Chapter 21 Configuring Resilient Ethernet Protocol Understanding REP number (downstream position from the primary edge port) or a negative offset number (downstream position from the secondary edge port). If E2 became the primary edge port, its offset number would then be 1 and E1 would be -1. • By entering the preferred keyword to select the port that you previously configured as the preferred alternate port with the rep segment segment-id preferred interface configuration command. Figure 21-4 Neighbor Offset Numbers in a Segment E1 -9 2 1 -8 3 4 -7 5 -6 -1 E2 10 9 -2 E1 = Primary edge port E2 = Secondary edge port Offset numbers from the primary edge port Offset numbers from the secondary edge port (negative numbers) 8 -3 7 -4 6 -5 201890 When the REP segment is complete, all VLANs are blocked. When you configure VLAN load balancing, you must also configure triggers in one of two ways: • Manually trigger VLAN load balancing at any time by entering the rep preempt segment segment-id privileged EXEC command on the switch that has the primary edge port. • Configure a preempt delay time by entering the rep preempt delay seconds interface configuration command. After a link failure and recovery, VLAN load balancing begins after the configured preemption time period elapses. Note that the delay timer restarts if another port fails before the time has elapsed. Note When VLAN load balancing is configured, it does not start working until triggered by either manual intervention or a link failure and recovery. When VLAN load balancing is triggered, the primary edge port sends out a message to alert all interfaces in the segment about the preemption. When the secondary port receives the message, it is reflected into the network to notify the alternate port to block the set of VLANs specified in the message and to notify the primary edge port to block the remaining VLANs. You can also configure a particular port in the segment to block all VLANs. Only the primary edge port initiates VLAN load balancing, which is not possible if the segment is not terminated by an edge port on each end. The primary edge port determines the local VLAN load balancing configuration. Reconfigure the primary edge port to reconfigure load balancing. When you change the load balancing configuration, the primary edge port again waits for the rep preempt segment command or for the configured preempt delay period after a port failure and recovery before executing the new configuration. If you change an edge port to a regular segment port, the existing VLAN load balancing status does not change. Configuring a new edge port might cause a new topology configuration.

Chapter 21

Configuring Resilient Ethernet Protocol

Understanding REP

number (downstream position from the primary edge port) or a negative offset number (downstream

position from the secondary edge port). If E2 became the primary edge port, its offset number would

then be 1 and E1 would be -1.

•

By entering the

preferred

keyword to select the port that you previously configured as the preferred

alternate port with the

rep segment

segment-id

preferred

interface configuration command.

Figure 21-4

Neighbor Offset Numbers in a Segment

When the REP segment is complete, all VLANs are blocked. When you configure VLAN load balancing,

you must also configure triggers in one of two ways:

•

Manually trigger VLAN load balancing at any time by entering the

rep preempt segment

segment-id

privileged EXEC command on the switch that has the primary edge port.

•

Configure a preempt delay time by entering the

rep preempt delay

seconds

interface configuration

command. After a link failure and recovery, VLAN load balancing begins after the configured

preemption time period elapses. Note that the delay timer restarts if another port fails before the time

has elapsed.

Note

When VLAN load balancing is configured, it does not start working until triggered by either manual

intervention or a link failure and recovery.

When VLAN load balancing is triggered, the primary edge port sends out a message to alert all interfaces

in the segment about the preemption. When the secondary port receives the message, it is reflected into

the network to notify the alternate port to block the set of VLANs specified in the message and to notify

the primary edge port to block the remaining VLANs.

You can also configure a particular port in the segment to block all VLANs. Only the primary edge port

initiates VLAN load balancing, which is not possible if the segment is not terminated by an edge port on

each end. The primary edge port determines the local VLAN load balancing configuration.

Reconfigure the primary edge port to reconfigure load balancing. When you change the load balancing

configuration, the primary edge port again waits for the

rep preempt segment

command or for the

configured preempt delay period after a port failure and recovery before executing the new

configuration. If you change an edge port to a regular segment port, the existing VLAN load balancing

status does not change. Configuring a new edge port might cause a new topology configuration.
