PBB MRP policies

Overview

PBB MRP policies limit the scope of MMRP advertisements to a specific network domain using ISID-based filters for both the MMRP control plane and the B-VPLS data plane. A PBB MRP policy contains a configurable option to instantiate an MMRP tree and related entry only when both an MMRP declaration and registration are received on a port.

A PBB MRP policy specifies either a forward or a drop action for the Group B-MAC attributes associated with the ISIDs that are specified in the match criteria. If the scope of the policy is set to template, you can apply the PBB MRP policy to multiple B-VPLS services.

See Provider Backbone Bridging in VPLS and MRP and MMRP support in Chapter 77, VPLS management for more information.

Workflow to manage PBB MRP policies

1	Create a PBB MRP policy. See To configure a PBB MRP policy .
2	Release and distribute the PBB MRP policy to NEs. See To configure a PBB MRP policy .
3	Configure MRP forwarding control on a B-site. See To create a B-site for VPLS or MVPLS .
4	Configure MRP forwarding control and apply the PBB MRP policy to a B-VPLS L2 access interface, or spoke or mesh SDP binding. See To configure learning protection parameters on a VPLS SDP binding and To create a VPLS or MVPLS B-L2 access interface .
