MCT for VLL

18

Peer information sync

If VLL information is already sent to the MCT peer and VLL peer is updated, then the VLL peer
information will sync to the MCT peer. VLL Peer information includes PW status and redundancy
status.

End point status handling

Whenever there are any end point status changes, they are synchronized by MCT infrastructure and
the events will be handled whenever logical status of endpoint changes from UP to DOWN or DOWN
to UP.

End point mismatch

When end points configured in MCT nodes belongs to different MCT Clients, then the end point
mismatch in both MCT nodes for that VLL and PWs for that VLL will be down.

Hitless upgrade

MCT VLL does not support Hitless upgrade, but is Hitless compatible.

Configuration Considerations

Brocade recommends making sure the VLL instance configuration is same on both nodes in the
following aspects:

Endpoint type(untagged or tagged or dual-tagged) and VLAN

VC type(tagged-mode or raw-mode)

Mtu and other operational parameters

Peers configured for a given VLL instance

Configuring MCT VLL

MCT VLL requires following cluster level configurations. See

“Configuring the cluster operation

mode”

for additioan information on creating clusters.

L2VPN peer configuration

For each MCT VLL instance, a spoke-PW session is formed internally using the l2vpn-peer
command to form a PW session to the remote MCT node. In this example, spoke-PW will be formed
to peer 2.2.2.2.

Brocade(config-mpls)#l2vpn-peer 2.2.2.2 rbridge-id 2

Syntax: [no] l2vpn-peer rbridge-id

The variable specifies the IP address of the targeted peer.

The parameters specify the remote bridge ID. Possible values are 1 - 35535 (16 bit value).

To disable the configuration, enter the no form of the command.
