To configure learning protection parameters on a VPLS SDP binding

Purpose

This procedure applies to MFIB, STP, FIB, MRP, and MAC learning protection parameters on a VPLS SDP binding.

Note: The single-slot models of the 7450 ESS and 7750 SR support the addition or deletion of MFIB allowed daughter cards.

The MFIB Allowed Daughter Card tab does not appear if you are creating a Mesh SDP binding for a B-site.

Steps
 
1 

Choose Manage→Service→Services from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Services form opens.

2 

Choose a VPLS and click Properties. The VPLS Service (Edit) form opens.

3 

On the service tree, expand Sites→site→Mesh|Spoke SDP Bindings.

4 

Right-click on the mesh or spoke SDP binding you need to configure and choose Properties. The [Mesh|Spoke] SDP Binding (Edit) form opens.

5 

Click on the Forwarding Control tab.

6 

Perform the following if you are configuring a spoke SDP binding. Otherwise, go to Step 7 .

  1. Depending on the device being configured, the BPDU Termination tab is displayed.

    Note:

    For spoke SDPs on the 7210 SAS-R, the BPDU Termination tab is displayed only when the Allow L2Pt Xstp BPDU parameter is enabled for the site. See To configure a VPLS site .

  2. Configure the required parameters.

    You can enable the L2 Protocol Termination parameter only when STP is disabled for the site. The Administrative State parameter for STP must be set to Down; see To configure MFIB, STP, FIB, and MAC learning protection for a VPLS site .

    When the L2 Protocol Termination parameter is set to Enabled, a list of L2PT protocols is displayed. Select all that are required. You must select at least one protocol.

  3. Click on the STP tab and configure the required parameters.

  4. Click on the FIB tab and configure the required parameters.

    The Maximum Entries parameter does not appear if you are creating a Spoke SDP binding for a B-site.

    The Restrict Protected Source Action parameter is configurable when the Restrict Protected Source parameter is set to true.

7 

If you are configuring a mesh SDP binding, click on the FIB tab and configure the parameters. Otherwise, go to Step 8 .

8 

Click on the MFIB Allowed Daughter Card tab and click Create. The SDP Binding MFIB Allowed Daughter Card (Create) form opens.

9 

Select a daughter card, save the changes and close the form.

10 

Click on the MRP tab if you are configuring a mesh or spoke SDP binding for a B-site and configure the parameters. Otherwise, go to Step 12 .

Note: The MRP tab does not appear if you are creating an SDP binding for an I-site.

11 

Select an PBB MRP Policy.

12 

Save the changes and close the forms.
