Lightweight SAPs

Overview

SAPs that are associated with residential split horizon groups on VPLS sites are called lightweight SAPs. An RSHG uses dual-pass queue optimization and does not support downstream broadcast or multicast traffic. Lightweight SAPs have fewer internal configuration settings than regular SAPs. Therefore, you can create more lightweight SAPs on a NE. The SAP Lightweight property is automatically set at creation time, when the SAP is associated with an RSHG, and cannot be modified later.

Users can:

• assign SAPs to residential split horizon groups

• list lightweight SAPs using the Lightweight filter property

Note: To get the most recent state of a lightweight SAP, it is recommended that users perform a resynchronization by clicking on the Resync button in the SAP configuration form. If this button is not visible, click on the More Actions button and choose Resync.
