TRILL configuration task list When you configure TRILL, follow these guidelines: • Configuration in Ethernet interface view takes effect on only the current port. Configuration in aggregate interface view takes effect on the current interface and its member ports. Configuration on the member port of an aggregate interface takes effect after the member port leaves the aggregation group. • When both TRILL and a spanning tree protocol are enabled on a port, TRILL processes the BPDUs received on the port. To make sure the STP network can interoperate with the TRILL network, disable the spanning tree protocol on TRILL ports. For more information about spanning tree protocols, see Layer 2-LAN Switching Configuration Guide. • HP recommends not enabling loop detection on TRILL ports, because TRILL networks prevent loops from being generated. For more information about loopback detection, see Layer 2-LAN Switching Configuration Guide. • Do not configure the TPID for VLAN tags on RBs. For more information about TPIDs, see Layer 2 -LAN Switching Configuration Guide. • Do not connect multiple TRILL ports on an RB to the same link. Otherwise, these TRILL ports might be elected as the AVFs of a VLAN at the same time because these TRILL ports cannot sense each other. As a result, loops will occur in the VLAN. To configure TRILL, complete the following tasks: Tasks at a glance (Required.) Enabling TRILL (Optional.) Configuring the link type of a TRILL port (Optional.) Configuring the DRB priority of a TRILL port (Optional.) Configuring the announcing VLANs (Optional.) Configuring TRILL timers (Optional.) Adjusting LSP parameters (Optional.) Configuring distribution trees (Optional.) Enabling logging of TRILL neighbor changes (Optional.) Configuring TRILL GR Enabling TRILL To enable TRILL on a port, first enable TRILL globally. When you enable TRILL, follow these guidelines: • Enable or disable TRILL on all ports in a VLAN, so that the ports in a VLAN have the same TRILL status (enabled or disabled). • Do not enable both TRILL and EVB on a port. The allowed VLAN list of a TRILL-enabled port cannot overlap with that of an EVB-enabled port. For more information about EVB, see EVB Configuration Guide. 5
