Example for Configuring an Eth-Trunk to Preferentially Forward Local Traffic in a CSS or Stack

70 0 0 0
display all floors #1

Overview

In a CSS or stack, an Eth-Trunk is configured as the outbound interface of traffic to ensure reliable transmission. Member interfaces of the Eth-Trunk are located on different chassis. When devices in the CSS or stack forward traffic, the Eth-Trunk may select an inter-chassis member interface based on a hash algorithm. The cable bandwidth between devices in the CSS or stack is limited, so inter-chassis traffic forwarding occupies bandwidth resources between devices, lowering traffic forwarding efficiency. To address this issue, you can enable an Eth-Trunk to preferentially forward local traffic.

Configuration Notes

  • If active interfaces of an Eth-Trunk on the local device have sufficient bandwidth to forward traffic, you can configure the Eth-Trunk to preferentially forward local traffic. This improves traffic forwarding efficiency and increases bandwidth capacity between devices in the CSS.
  • If active interfaces of an Eth-Trunk on the local device do not have sufficient bandwidth to forward traffic, you can configure the Eth-Trunk not to preferentially forward local traffic. In this case, some traffic on the local device is forwarded through member interfaces of an Eth-Trunk on another device, preventing packet loss.

Networking Requirements

On the network shown in Figure 6-8, CSS technology is used to increase the total capacity of switches. Switch3 and Switch4 are connected through stack cables to form a logical switch. To implement backup between switches and improve reliability, physical interfaces on the two switches are added to an Eth-Trunk. In normal situations, traffic from VLAN 2 and VLAN 3 is forwarded through GE1/0/1 and GE1/0/2 respectively. This increases bandwidth capacity between switches and reduces traffic forwarding efficiency.

To ensure that traffic from VLAN 2 is forwarded through GE1/0/1 and traffic from VLAN 3 is forwarded through GE1/0/2, you can configure the Eth-Trunk to preferentially forward local traffic.

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

  1. Create an Eth-Trunk.

  2. Add member interfaces to the Eth-Trunk.

  3. Enable the Eth-Trunk to preferentially forward local traffic.

  4. Add interfaces to VLANs to implement Layer 2 connectivity.

Procedure

  1. Create an Eth-Trunk and configure the ID of a VLAN from which packets can pass through the Eth-Trunk.

    # Configure the CSS.

    <HUAWEI> system-view[HUAWEI] sysname CSS[CSS] interface eth-trunk 10 //Create Eth-Trunk 10 and enter the view of Eth-Trunk 10.[CSS-Eth-Trunk10] port link-type trunk  //Set the link type of the interface to trunk.[CSS-Eth-Trunk10] port trunk allow-pass vlan all //Configure the interface to allow all VLANs.[CSS-Eth-Trunk10] quit

    # Configure the aggregation switch PE.

    <HUAWEI> system-view[HUAWEI] sysname PE[PE] interface eth-trunk 10 //Create Eth-Trunk 10 and enter the view of Eth-Trunk 10.[PE-Eth-Trunk10] port link-type trunk //Set the link type of the interface to trunk.[PE-Eth-Trunk10] port trunk allow-pass vlan all //Configure the interface to allow all VLANs.[PE-Eth-Trunk10] quit

  2. Add member interfaces to the Eth-Trunk.

    # Configure the CSS.

    [CSS] interface gigabitethernet 1/1/0/4[CSS-GigabitEthernet1/1/0/4] eth-trunk 10 //Add GE1/1/0/4 to Eth-Trunk 10.[CSS-GigabitEthernet1/1/0/4] quit[CSS] interface gigabitethernet 2/1/0/4[CSS-GigabitEthernet2/1/0/4] eth-trunk 10 //Add GE2/1/0/4 to Eth-Trunk 10.[CSS-GigabitEthernet2/1/0/4] quit

    # Configure the PE.

    [PE] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1[PE-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] eth-trunk 10 //Add GE1/0/1 to Eth-Trunk 10.[PE-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit[PE] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/2 [PE-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] eth-trunk 10 //Add GE1/0/2 to Eth-Trunk 10.[PE-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] quit

  3. Configure the Eth-Trunk on devices in the CSS to preferentially forward local traffic.

    [CSS] interface eth-trunk 10[CSS-Eth-Trunk10] local-preference enable //Enable Eth-Trunk 10 to preferentially forward local traffic.[CSS-Eth-Trunk10] quit
    imgDownload?uuid=afc5f8e9a42b4be7b52e652 NOTE:
    By default, an Eth-Trunk is enabled to preferentially forward local traffic. If you run the local-preference enable command, the system displays the message "Error: The local preferential forwarding mode has been configured."

  4. Configure Layer 2 forwarding.

    # Configure the CSS.

    [CSS] vlan batch 2 3
    [CSS] interface gigabitethernet 1/1/0/3
    [CSS-GigabitEthernet1/1/0/3] port link-type trunk
    [CSS-GigabitEthernet1/1/0/3] port trunk allow-pass vlan 2
    [CSS-GigabitEthernet1/1/0/3] quit
    [CSS] interface gigabitethernet 2/1/0/3
    [CSS-GigabitEthernet2/1/0/3] port link-type trunk
    [CSS-GigabitEthernet2/1/0/3] port trunk allow-pass vlan 3
    [CSS-GigabitEthernet2/1/0/3] quit

    # Configure access switch Switch1.

    <HUAWEI> system-view
    [HUAWEI] sysname Switch1
    [Switch1] vlan 2
    [Switch1-vlan2] quit
    [Switch1] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1
    [Switch1-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port link-type trunk
    [Switch1-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port trunk allow-pass vlan 2
    [Switch1-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit
    [Switch1] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/2
    [Switch1-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] port link-type trunk
    [Switch1-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] port trunk allow-pass vlan 2
    [Switch1-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] quit

    # Configure access switch Switch2.

    <HUAWEI> system-view
    [HUAWEI] sysname Switch2
    [Switch2] vlan 3
    [Switch2-vlan3] quit
    [Switch2] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1
    [Switch2-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port link-type trunk
    [Switch2-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port trunk allow-pass vlan 3
    [Switch2-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit
    [Switch2] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/2
    [Switch2-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] port link-type trunk
    [Switch2-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] port trunk allow-pass vlan 3
    [Switch2-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] quit

  5. Verify the configuration.

    After the configuration is complete, run the display trunkmembership eth-trunk command in any view to check information about member interfaces of the Eth-Trunk.

    The display on the CSS is used as an example.

    <CSS> display trunkmembership eth-trunk 10
    Trunk ID: 10
Used status: VALID
TYPE: ethernet
Working Mode : Normal
Number Of Ports in Trunk = 2
Number Of Up Ports in Trunk = 2
Operate status: up

Interface GigabitEthernet1/1/0/4, valid, operate up, weight=1
Interface GigabitEthernet2/1/0/4, valid, operate up, weight=1
