The configuration guidelines for G.8032 are the following:
For 7210 SAS-T devices in network mode, users must enable the fast-flood feature and allocate the resources from the ingress-internal-tcam pool using the config system resource-profile g8032-fast-flood-enable command.
For 7210 SAS-T devices in access-uplink mode, users do not need to enable the fast-flood feature or allocate the resources from the ingress-internal-tcam pool using the config system resource-profile g8032-fast-flood-enable command, because the resources are automatically allocated by the software.
For 7210 SAS-Mxp devices in network mode, the fast-flood feature is enabled by default to improve the service fail-over time caused by failures in the ring path. If a failure is detected in one of the paths of the Ethernet ring, along with MAC flush, the system also floods the traffic to the available path. No explicit user configuration is required to facilitate this, and resource allocation from the ingress-internal-tcam pool is not needed.
For 7210 SAS-Sx/S 1/10GE and 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE, no explicit user configuration is needed to enable G.8032 fast-flood, and resources do not need to be allocated from the ingress-internal-tcam pool.
Service-level MEPs are not available on SAPs tied to an Ethernet-ring instance on a port.
G.8032 instances cannot be configured over a LAG.
G.8032 version 2 is the supported version, by default. Use the config eth-ring compatible-version command to change the G.8032 version to 1, if required. Refer to the 7210 SAS-Mxp, R6, R12, S, Sx, T Interface Configuration Guide for more information.
