Configuring interface backup

About interface backup

Interface backup enables you to configure multiple backup interfaces for a Layer 3 interface to

increase link availability. When the primary interface fails or is overloaded, its backup interfaces can

take over or participate in traffic forwarding.

Serial interfaces (asynchronous,

Eth-channel interfaces

The IMA-group interfaces can only

work as backup interfaces. All the

other interfaces can work as both

primary and backup interfaces.

An asynchronous serial interface

cannot work as the primary interface if

DDR is configured on it.

Others Dialer interfaces

MP-group interfaces

Tunnel interfaces

A dialer interface can be used as the

primary interface only when it is a

PPPoE client in permanent session

mode.

Backup modes

The primary interface and its backup interfaces can operate in strict active/standby mode or load

sharing mode.

•

Strict active/standby mode—Only one interface transmits traffic. All the other interfaces are in

STANDBY state.

•

Load sharing mode—Backup interfaces participate in traffic forwarding when the amount of

traffic on the primary interface reaches the upper threshold. They are activated and deactivated

depending on the amount of traffic.

In strict active/standby mode, traffic loss occurs when the active interface is overloaded. Load

sharing mode improves link efficiency and reduces the risk of packet loss.

Strict active/standby mode

In strict active/standby mode, the primary interface always has higher priority than all backup

interfaces.

•

When the primary interface is operating correctly, all traffic is transmitted through the primary

interface.

•

When the primary interface fails, the highest-priority backup interface takes over. If the

highest-priority backup interface also fails, the second highest-priority backup interface takes

over, and so forth.

NOTE:

If two backup interfaces have the same priority, the one configured first has preference.

An active backup interface is always preempted by the primary interface. However, a higher-priority

backup interface cannot preempt a lower-priority backup interface that has taken over the primary

interface.

•

The primary interface takes over when it recovers from a failure condition.

•

The higher-priority backup interface cannot take over when it recovers from a failure condition

while the primary interface is still down.

As shown in Figure 1, Port A on Router A is the primary interface. Port B (with a priority of 30) and

Port C (with a priority of 20) are its backup interfaces.

•

When Port A is operating correctly, all traffic is transmitted through Port A.

•

When Port A fails, Port B takes over because it has higher priority than Port C. If Port B also fails,

Port C takes over.

•

When Port A is recovered, it preempts the active backup interface because it is the primary

interface. If Port B is recovered while Port A is still down, Port B cannot preempt Port C to

forward traffic.

Figure 1 Strict active/backup mode

Load sharing mode

In load sharing mode, the backup interfaces are activated to transmit traffic depending on the traffic

load on the primary interface.

•

When the amount of traffic on the primary interface exceeds the upper threshold, the backup

interfaces are activated in descending order of priority. This action continues until the traffic

drops below the upper threshold.

•

When the total amount of traffic on all load-shared interfaces decreases below the lower

threshold, the backup interfaces are deactivated in ascending order of priority. This action

continues until the total amount of traffic exceeds the lower threshold.

•

When the primary interface fails (in DOWN state), the strict active/standby mode applies. Only

one backup interface can forward traffic.

The upper and lower thresholds are user configurable.

NOTE:

•

"Traffic" on an interface refers to the amount of incoming or outgoing traffic, whichever is higher.

• If two backup interfaces have the same priority, the one configured first has preference.

As shown in Figure 2, Port A on Router A is the primary interface. Port B (with a priority of 30) and

Port C (with a priority of 20) are its backup interfaces.

•

When the amount of traffic on Port A exceeds the upper threshold, Port B is activated, because

it has higher priority than Port C. If the amount of traffic on Port A still exceeds the upper

threshold, Port C is activated.

•

When the total amount of traffic on all load-shared interfaces decreases below the lower

threshold, Port C is first deactivated, because its priority is lower than Port B. If the total amount

of traffic on Port A and Port B is still below the lower threshold, Port B is deactivated.

Restrictions and guidelines: Interface backup

configuration

When you configure interface backup, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

•

The device supports up to 10 primary interfaces.

•

An interface can be configured as a backup only for one interface.

•

An interface cannot be both a primary and backup interface.

•

The strict active/standby mode and load sharing mode cannot be configured at the same time.

Interface backup tasks at a glance

To configure interface backup, perform the following tasks:

•

Configuring strict active/standby interface backup

Choose one of the following tasks:

 Explicitly specifying backup interfaces without traffic thresholds

Use this method if you want to monitor the interface state of the primary interface for a

switchover to occur.

 Using interface backup with the Track module

Use this method if you want to monitor any other state, such as the link state of the primary

interface.

•

Configuring load-shared interface backup

Prerequisites for configuring interface backup

Make sure the primary and backup interfaces have routes to the destination network.

Explicitly specifying backup interfaces without

traffic thresholds

About this task

Perform this task if you want to monitor the interface state of the primary interface for a switchover to

occur. For the primary and backup interfaces to operate in strict active/standby mode, do not specify

the traffic thresholds on the primary interface. If the traffic thresholds are configured, the interfaces

will operate in load sharing mode.

You can assign priority to backup interfaces. When the primary interface fails, the backup interfaces

are activated in descending order of priority, with the highest-priority interface activated first. If two

backup interfaces have the same priority, the one configured first has preference.

To prevent link flapping from causing frequent interface switchovers, you can configure the following

switchover delay timers:

•

Up delay timer—Number of seconds that the primary or backup interface must wait before it

can come up.

•

Down delay timer—Number of seconds that the active primary or backup interface must wait

before it is set to down state.

When the link of the active interface fails, the interface state does not change immediately. Instead, a

down delay timer starts. If the link recovers before the timer expires, the interface state does not

change. If the link is still down when the timer expires, the interface state changes to down.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter interface view.

interface interface-type interface-number

This interface must be the primary interface.

3. Specify a backup interface.

backup interface interface-type interface-number [ priority ]

By default, an interface does not have any backup interfaces.

Repeat this command to specify up to three backup interfaces for the interface.

4. Set the switchover delay timers.

backup timer delay up-delay down-delay

By default, the up and down delay timers are both 5 seconds.

Using interface backup with the Track module

About this task

Perform this task if you want to monitor any other state, such as the link state of the primary interface.

To use interface backup with the Track module to provide strict active/standby backup for a primary

interface:

•

Configure a track entry to monitor state information of the primary interface. For example,

monitor its link state.

•

Associate the track entry with a backup interface.

Interface backup changes the state of the backup interface in response to the track entry state, as

shown in Table 2.

Table 2 Action on the backup interface in response to the track entry state change

Track entry state

State of the monitored primary link

Action on the backup interface

Positive The primary link is operating correctly. Places the backup interface in

STANDBY state.

Negative The primary link has failed. Activates the backup interface to

take over.

NotReady

The primary link is not monitored.

This situation occurs when the track module

or the monitoring module is not ready, for

example, because the Track module is

restarting or the monitoring settings are

incomplete. In this situation, interface

backup cannot obtain information about the

primary link from the track module.

• If the track entry state stays in

NotReady state after it is

created, interface backup does

not change the state of the

backup interface.

• If the track entry state changes

to NotReady from Positive or

Negative, the backup interface

changes back to the forwarding

state before it was used for

interface backup.

For more information about configuring a track entry, see "Configuring Track."

Restrictions and guidelines

•

You can associate an interface with only one track entry.

•

You can create the associated track entry before or after the association. The association takes

effect after the track entry is created.

•

To maintain performance, limit the number of associations to 64.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter interface view.

interface interface-type interface-number

This interface must be the interface you are using as a backup.

3. Associate the interface with a track entry.

backup track track-entry-number

By default, an interface is not associated with a track entry.

Configuring load-shared interface backup

About this task

To implement load-balanced interface backup, you must configure the traffic thresholds on the

primary interface. Interface backup regularly compares the amount of traffic with the thresholds to

determine whether to activate or deactivate a backup interface. The traffic polling interval is user

configurable.

You can assign priority to backup interfaces.

•

When the amount of traffic on the primary interface exceeds the upper threshold, the backup

interfaces are activated in descending order of priority.

•

When the total amount of traffic on all load-shared interfaces decreases below the lower

threshold, the backup interfaces are deactivated in ascending order of priority.

If two backup interfaces have the same priority, the one configured first has preference.

If a traffic flow has a fast forwarding entry, all packets of the flow will be forwarded out of the outgoing

interface in the entry. The packets of the flow will not be distributed between interfaces when the

upper threshold is reached. For more information about fast forwarding, see Layer 3—IP Services

Configuration Guide.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter interface view.

interface interface-type interface-number

You must enter the view of the primary interface.

3. Configure a backup interface for the interface.

backup interface interface-type interface-number [ priority ]

By default, an interface does not have any backup interfaces.

Repeat this command to specify up to three backup interfaces.

4. Set backup load sharing thresholds.

backup threshold upper-threshold lower-threshold

By default, no traffic thresholds are configured.

5. Set the traffic polling interval.

backup timer flow-check interval

The default interval is 30 seconds.

Configuring CFD

About CFD

Connectivity Fault Detection (CFD), which conforms to IEEE 802.1ag Connectivity Fault

Management (CFM) and ITU-T Y.1731, is an end-to-end link layer OAM mechanism. CFD is used for

link connectivity detection, fault verification, and fault location in Ethernet networks.

Basic CFD concepts

Maintenance domain

A maintenance domain (MD) defines the network or part of the network where CFD plays its role. An

MD is identified by its MD name.

Maintenance association

A maintenance association (MA) is a part of an MD. You can configure multiple MAs in an MD as

needed. An MA is identified by the MD name + MA name.

In an Ethernet network, an MA serves the specified VLAN or no VLAN. An MA that serves a VLAN is

considered to be carrying VLAN attribute. An MA that serves no VLAN is considered to be carrying

no VLAN attribute.

Maintenance association end point

An MEP is configured on a port and belongs to an MA.

MEPs define the boundary of the MA. Each MEP is identified by a MEP ID.

The MA to which a MEP belongs defines the VLAN of packets sent by the MEP.

MEPs include inward-facing MEPs and outward-facing MEPs:

•

An inward-facing MEP does not send packets to its host port. Rather, it sends packets to other

ports on the device. The packets are broadcast in the VLAN that the MA of the MEP serves.

Inward-facing MEPs are not supported in the current software version.

•

An outward-facing MEP sends packets to its host port.

MEP list

A MEP list is a collection of local MEPs allowed to be configured and the remote MEPs to be

monitored in the same MA. It lists all the MEPs configured on different devices in the same MA. The

MEPs all have unique MEP IDs. When a MEP receives from a remote device a continuity check

message (CCM) carrying a MEP ID not in the MEP list of the MA, it drops the message.

The local device must send CCM messages carrying the Remote Defect Indication (RDI) flag bits.

Otherwise, the peer device cannot sense certain failures. When a local MEP has not learned all

remote MEPs in the MEP list, the MEPs in the MA might not carry the RDI flag bits in CCMs.

CFD levels

MD levels

To accurately locate faults, CFD introduces eight levels (from 0 to 7) to MDs. The bigger the number,

the higher the level and the larger the area covered. Domains can touch but cannot intersect or nest.

MD levels facilitate fault location and make fault location more accurate. As shown in Figure 6, MD_A

in light blue touches MD_B in dark blue. If a connectivity fault is detected on the link between Device

A and Device D, any of these four devices might fail. If a connectivity fault is also detected at the

boundary of MD_B, the failure points can be any of Device B through Device D. If the devices in

MD_B can operate correctly, at least Device C is operational.

Figure 6 Two touched MDs

CFD exchanges messages and performs operations on a per-domain basis. By planning MDs

correctly in a network, you can use CFD to rapidly locate failure points.

MA and MEP levels

The level of an MA equals the level of the MD to which the MA belongs.

The level of a MEP equals the level of the MD to which the MEP belongs.

CFD grading example

Figure 7 demonstrates a grading example of the CFD module. Four levels of MDs (0, 2, 3, and 5) are

designed. The bigger the number, the higher the level and the larger the area covered. MPs are

configured on the ports of Device A through Device F. Port A of Device B is configured with the

following MPs:

•

A level 5 MIP.

•

A level 3 inward-facing MEP.

•

A level 2 inward-facing MEP.

•

A level 0 outward-facing MEP.
