Enabling logging of TRILL neighbor changes, Configuring TRILL GR

Page 14 highlights

When N equal-cost links exist in the network, each TRILL distribution tree selects an equal-cost link for forwarding packets through J mod N in root bridge priority order. J is the priority sequence number of a multicast tree and starts from 0. As shown in Figure 6: • The link directly connecting RB 1 to RB 3 is assigned to the TRILL distribution tree rooted at RB 3. • The link RB 1-RB 2-RB 3 is assigned to the TRILL distribution tree rooted at RB 4. To configure the distribution trees: Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Enter TRILL view. 3. Set a priority for the RB. 4. Configure the number of distribution trees that the RB wants all RBs to compute.

Configuring TRILL GR Graceful Restart (GR) ensures the continuity of packet forwarding when a protocol restarts or an active/standby switchover occurs.

When N equal-cost links exist in the network, each TRILL distribution tree selects an equal-cost link for
forwarding packets through

Graceful Restart (GR) ensures the continuity of packet forwarding when a protocol restarts or an
active/standby switchover occurs. The device on which a protocol restarts or an active/standby
switchover occurs advertises the restart status to the neighbors, and allows the neighbors to re-establish
the neighborship, instead of terminating the connections. GR involves the following roles:
