ISID mapping to VPLS

To display the ISID endpoints in a topology group, use the following command.

Syntax: show topology

Load balancing traffic

You can enable the device to mask out different PBB header fields. When a PBB packet is received
on the device, by default the network processor checks the packet (including the Bvlan SA/DA) and
includes the PBB header fields in hash calculations even when an ISID endpoint is not configured
on the device.

To mask out the PBB header fields during hash calculations, use the load-balance command.

Brocade(config)# load-balance mask pbb cust-l2-hdr all

Brocade(config)# load-balance mask pbb cust-ip4-ip6-hdr 1

Brocade(config)# load-balance mask ethernet isid 2 1

Syntax: [no] load-balance mask ethernet sa-mac | da-mac | vlan | etype | inner-vlan | isid all |

slot [np-id]

Syntax: [no] load-balance mask pbb cust-l2-hdr | cust-ip4-ip6-hdr all | slot [np-id]

By default all options are off.

When using the isid option for the load-balance mask ethernet command, the ISID field in the PBB
packet on the endpoint will be masked out.

When using the cust-l2-hdr option for the load-balance mask pbb command, the destination and
source MAC addresses in the customer Layer 2 header will be masked out during
hash-calculations. This applies only to the ingress device, for packets received on the endpoint.

When using the cust-ip4-ip6-hdr option for the load-balance mask pbb command, the IPv4 and
IPv6 protocol field and destination and source addresses in the customer Layer 3 header will be
masked out. This applies only to the ingress device, for packets received on the endpoint.

NOTE

During the hash calculations, cust-l2-hdr and cust-ip4-ip6-hdr will not be considered.

When using the all option, it will turn on the masking on all cards and packet processors.

The slot option will turn on the specific slot, and when combined with the np-id, it will be enabled on
the specific packet processor of a given slot.

Syntax: [no] load-balance mask ethernet sa-mac | da-mac | vlan | etype | inner-vlan | isid all |

slot [np-id]

Syntax: [no] load-balance mask pbb cust-l2-hdr | cust-ip4-ip6-hdr all | slot [np-id]
