v1.4.8rcX Bug reports and comments

[Eric Stern]

Please post any questions or issues in this thread.

v1.4.8rcX now has ERPS. We do not suggest you use this in production until you have fully tested in in the lab and are satisfied with it.
The ERPS tab has online help (the question mark in the top right) which should give you all the information you need to get it configured and running.
The protocol implementation is g.8032v2.
I have done interop testing in my lab using a Juniper EX switch.

NOTE: MSTP is still being tested so use MSTP at your own risk.

[sirhc]

v1.4.8rc2 has been released to fix an issue for WS-8-150-DC units with temperature relating to power supply controller chip.
This could also affect WS-12-250-DC and WS-26-500-DC although never has been reported.

Same PEM ID is accecpted if using same PEM ID on 2 PEM config, the status of the PEM is broken on one of the PEM configuration since it will show the PEM status of the other PEM config.

Also, is the're any way to configure a PIM if we don't want the port to be a end point ?

[mike99]

Will also accept 2 MEP config on the same port that also break a little the status by reporting a Peer ID while CCM status is down.

No, only MEPs are supported.

[mike99]

First, I'm not so familiar with ERPS but readed a lot about CMF an ERPS and also tryed several time.

My test are not conclusive at all. It's totally unreliable. If it work, I just have to unplug and plug back SFP and soon enough (2 or 3 trys), loop will happen and switchs reboot :-/ I started with a MEP instance but removed it to try if it would be more reliable. One good thing, even without MEP, it still converge really fast, ping won't even see a paquet lost.

My config is really simple:

VLAN 10, 20, 30, 40 and 4080 in monitor, management vlan 1 is exclude between 20 and 22 since it was worst when I tryed to include it. Often, switch will not even be reachable, even after a reboot.
Sometime, after change in VLAN or ERPS, the switch are not reachable at all, even after rebooting the switch. I'm not able to see any error, ERPS and STP (disable anyway) are in forwarding state but switch connected to it won't ping until I remove erps via the console port.

Unrechable switch happen a lot on config change. ERPS even blocked the port 11 my PC is connected through while ERPS is not configured on this port :-/ Loop also happen a lot and crash switch that will reboot and be fine again until I plug and unplug the ports again. Not sure if it's happen only if the WTR timer is on. I will probably test this out.

[mike99]

Also, is the're any way to configure a PIM if we don't want the port to be a end point ?

No, only MEPs are supported.

Would not be better to add MIP. From my reading, MIP should be use between nodes of same level while MEP should be use between nodes of differents levels or non CFM nodes. Seem like MIP need less planning since those don't seem to need a unique MPID like the MEP (MEPID).

Infinite "config change reload interface" still happen on RC1. Had it at less 2 times will testing ERPS. Doing any change like change a port name and reload will fix it but without change, to reload interface will be ask every X seconds. Have seen this on Windows 7, Windows 10 and Linux Mint with Firefox and Chrome.

[mike99]

I'm connected to switch 20 and can still access switch 22, connected through switch 21 (SFP between 20 and 22 disconnect), while 21 show west port (RPL neighbor) show discarding mode status.

You can view previous schema to understand better.

After I plug SFP between 20 and 22, everything status are shown fine with RPL owner (sw20 port 14 - est) and RPL neighbor (sw21 port 13 - west) showing discarding status).
