How Extreme Networks support dual homing of its switches to a backbone network?

[Praveen_Goel]

Hi,

Does Extreme Networks support dual homing (or multi-homing) of its switches to provide redundancy in a network?

Does it support multiple Virtual Private LAN Service instances on virtual connections (e.g. pseudowires)?

Thanks,
Praveen

Hi Praveen,

I have not been aware of RFC 6870, Pseudowire Preferential Forwarding Status Bit, thanks for the pointer. 🙂

As far as I can determine EXOS does not seem to support this RFC. The RFCs supported by EXOS are usually listed in the EXOS data sheet.

I did not find a reference to this RFC in the data sheet, the user guide, the command reference, or the EXOS 22.3 release notes.

Regards,
Erik

Hi Erik,

Could you please help me with 1 more query on the above discussion?

With reference to the following link:
http://documentation.extremenetworks.com/exos_16/EXOS_16_2/MPLS/c_vpls-eaps-redundancy-overview.shtm...

I have seen a similar configuration in IETF Request for Comments 6870 (Figure 3. Multiple Multi-Homed CEs with SS-PW Redundancy). Link: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6870

Does Extreme Networks support RFC 6870 technology in its products? I did a search on Extreme Networks website but did found direct link with RFC 6870.

Thank you.

Praveen
