ES and DF election procedures

In all-active multihoming, the non-DF keeps the SAP up, although it removes it from the default flooding list. In the single-active multihoming implementation the non-DF brings the SAP or SDP binding operationally down. See ES discovery and DF election procedures.

The following show commands display the status of the single-active ESI-7413 in the non-DF. The associated spoke SDP is operationally down and it signals PW Status standby to the multihomed CE:
