Hello!
I would like to share some information that I didn't pay attention at configuring the switches in the server room and that fall the network down.
We use two Huawei s5700 switches as a "core". They aggregate connections from many other switches with fiber optic (SFP modules). And they route the traffic between clients VLANs. They was design to duplicate each other on faults. To do that we use VRRP at the VLAN interfaces of s5700 switches.
They are connected with one UTP patch cord directly. This was the way to exchange VRRP information in the beginning.
After that we add new switches to the server rooms with 10G uplinks and connect them to the both s5700 switches. Good idea! But STP decide that too and shutdown direct link between the s5700 switches. After that everything goes bad.
Arrive time we just use STP cost to ensure that direct link will be up. But it can't be forever and now I found the problem and it's solution.
The problem is that VRRP use VLAN to send information to the neighbourhoods. And in our scenario server switches with 10G uplinks didn't know about all the VLANs of the clients and in this way some tagged traffic was dropped.
The solution in my case was in configuring all VLANs that we use to permit their traffic in the 10G switches.
VRRP and several switches

Hello! Thank you for your attantion! Here is some network diagram:
The bold lines between the CE5855 and between CE6810 are 40G peer links. Other links between CE5855 and CE6810 are 10G M-LAG links. And solid links between CE6810 and S5700 are two 10G M-LAG links (one M-LAG for the top S5700 and second - for the bottom one). The dotted line between S5700 is gigabit link. The S5700 switches are configured for failsafe networking - clients from the S1720 switches are connected both to the top S5700 and bottom S5700 switches. They are also equiped with 10G card and there is no space for additional cards in them (S5700). And all 10G links are used completelly. At this moment VLANs are configured in CE6810 and VRRP is working fine. Now I can use fast links for transfer lots of data and they are also can be used for network management packets (VRRP). |
