The following are the configuration guidelines for G.8032:
Service level MEPs are not available on all SAPs tied to an Eth-ring instance on a port.
On 7210 SAS-R6 and 7210 SAS-R12 with IMMv2 (that is, IMM-sas-r-b), to improve the service failover time because of failures in the ring path, fast flood is enabled by default only for VPLS services (and not for R-VPLS services). On a failure detection in one of the paths of the eth-ring, along with MAC flush the system starts to flood the traffic onto the available path. No explicit user configuration is needed for this and it does not need resources to be allocated from the ingress internal TCAM pool. When G8032 is enabled for R-VPLS services to enable fast-flood, user needs to explicitly assign resources from the ‛sf-ingress-internal-tcam’ pool using the global system resource profile commands.
G.8032 instances cannot be configured over a LAG.
On 7210 SAS-R6 and 7210 SAS-R12, user can enable G.8032 fast-flood by allocating resources to this feature using the command configure>system>global-system-profile>sf-ingress-internal-tcam>g8032-fast-flood.
