XOS 15.7.1.4 mvrp between BD8806 and SUMMIT X460-G2-48t-10GE4

Antonio_Prado — Tue, 09 Jun 2015 22:40:00 GMT

Hi,

just testing mvrp between

3 SUMMIT X460-G2-48t-10GE4 configured as a stack
and
1 BD8806 MSM-48c 10G8Xc

The Summit X stack is connected to BD8806 via a 10GE port.

On the BD8806:
create vlan test
configure test tag 500
configure vlan test add ports 6:2 tagged
configure mvrp tag 500 ports 6:2 registration normal
configure mvrp tag 500 ports 6:2 transmit on
configure mvrp vlan auto-creation on
configure mvrp vlan registration normal
enable mvrp ports 6:2
enable mvrpOn the SUMMIT X stack:
create vlan test
configure test tag 500
configure vlan test add ports 2:49 tagged
configure mvrp tag 500 ports 2:49 registration normal
configure mvrp tag 500 ports 2:49 transmit on
configure mvrp vlan auto-creation on
configure mvrp vlan registration normal
enable mvrp ports 2:49
enable mvrp
create vlan mvrptest
configure mvrptest tag 200
configure vlan mvrptest add ports 2:49 tagged
However, a show vlan on BD8806 doesn't show mvrptest.

Any hints would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi,

do you see a SYS_VLAN_0200?

hi,

no I don't.
there are just "default" and "mgmt" vlans

just fired up two VMs running EXOS 15.7.1p1-1, as soon as I do on each side on the correct port:

en mvrp port x
en mvrp

vlans are created.

here are my EXOS versions

on BD8806: 15.7.1.4 v1571b4

upgraded also BD8806 to 15.7.1.4 v1571b4-patch1-2

vlans still don't propagate

just tested mvrp between two SUMMIT X stacks as well (both with 15.7.1.4 v1571b4-patch1-2)

vlans don't propagate either

Antonio,

Is 8806 port 6:2 connected to Stack port 2:49 (i'm assuming so)? Are there any other active ports in mvrptest?

In order for MVRP to function, there should be multiple devices advertising the VLAN in the network. It is intended to dynamically extend/provision a VLAN, advertised by two edge devices, across the core of a network. Try adding another active port on the 8806 to mvrptest (not 6:2). I suspect you will see 6:2 added dynamically to the VLAN at that point.

If not, please post the following outputs (from both switches) and we can investigate further:

show vlan
show vlan mvrptest
show mvrp tag 200

Try adding another active port on the 8806 to mvrptest (not 6:2)

Hi Chad,

my point is that there is not a mvrptest vlan on BD8806 yet, so I cannot add another active port.

thank you

RE: XOS 15.7.1.4 mvrp between BD8806 and SUMMIT X460-G2-48t-10GE4

Antonio_Prado — Wed, 10 Jun 2015 01:49:00 GMT

Chad,

I tried to add another (disabled) port of SUMMIT X stack to vlan mvrptest.

as you said mvrptest propagated correctly and has been dynamically added to mvrp enabled ports.

so, it seems that a vlan doesn't propagate until a port (other than mvrp transmitting port) is added to that vlan.

am I correct?

thank you

Yes that is correct

well, if that's correct then I guess it's not correct what explained in this recent article by extreme networks

Antonio,

Are the two switches connected through the correct ports?
show edp port all should show you through which ports the switches see each other.

Antonio_Prado — Wed, 10 Jun 2015 02:13:00 GMT

Hi Daniel,

yes, both switches are connected on right ports:

BD8806:

sh edp port all

Port Neighbor Neighbor-ID Remote Age Num
Port Vlans
=============================================================================
6:2 access01 00:00:02:04:96:XX:XX:XX 2:49 33 3
=============================================================================

SUMMIT X:

sh edp port all
Port Neighbor Neighbor-ID Remote Age Num
Port Vlans
=============================================================================
2:49 core01 00:00:00:04:96:XX:XX:XX 6:2 21 2

is that port a LAG ?

no, it's not

Stephane_Grosj1 — Wed, 10 Jun 2015 02:15:00 GMT

if the correct ports are enable for mvrp (the ones interconnecting the 2 switches), it should work as soon as a new vlan is created on one side with a port in it (even inactive).

Antonio_Prado — Wed, 10 Jun 2015 02:15:00 GMT

with a port in it (even disabled) other than mvrp transmitting ports.
is it correct?

thank you
