Configuring TRILL

TRansparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) uses IS-IS to provide transparent Layer 2

forwarding.

TRILL requires a license to run on the device. For information about feature licensing, see

Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Overview

TRILL combines the simplicity and flexibility of Layer 2 switching with the stability, scalability, and

rapid convergence capability of Layer 3 routing. All these advantages make TRILL very suitable for

large Layer 2 networks in data centers.

Basic concepts

•RBridge—Routing bridge (RB) that runs TRILL. RBs are classified into ingress RBs, transit

RBs, and egress RBs, depending on their positions in the TRILL network. A frame enters the

TRILL network through an ingress RB, travels along transit RBs, and leaves the TRILL network

through an egress RB, as shown in Figure 2.

•TRILL network—A Layer 2 network that contains RBs, as shown in Figure 3.

•System ID—Unique identifier of an RB in the TRILL network. The system ID is 6 bytes in

length.

•Nickname—Address of an RB in the TRILL network. The nickname is 2 bytes in length.

•Link State Database—The LSDB contains all link state information in the TRILL network.

•Link State Protocol Data Unit—An LSP describes local link state information and is

advertised between neighbor devices.

•Designated Routing Bridge (DRB)—Similar to the designated IS (DIS) in IS-IS, a DRB exists

in a broadcast network. It helps simplify network topology, and assigns AVFs and appointed

ports for the VLANs on each RB in the broadcast network.

•Appointed VLAN-x Forwarder (AVF) and appointed port—To avoid loops, TRILL requires all

traffic of a VLAN on a broadcast network to enter and leave the TRILL network through the

same port of an RB. The RB is the VLAN's AVF, and the port is the VLAN's appointed port.

For more information about LSDB, LSPDU, and DIS, see Layer 3—IP Routing Configuration Guide.

TRILL frame formats

TRILL frames include protocol frames and data frames.

TRILL protocol frames include TRILL Hello, LSP, CSNP, PSNP, MTU-probe, and MTU-ack. These

protocol frames use 802.1Q encapsulation and have a fixed destination multicast address

0180-C200-0041.

TRILL data frames have a specific format, as shown in Figure 1. A TRILL header and an outer

Ethernet header are added to the original Ethernet frame.

Figure 1 TRILL data frame format

Table 1 describes the fields in the TRILL header.

Table 1 TRILL header fields

Field Description

Ethertype The Ethertype is fixed to TRILL.

V Version number, which is 0. When an RB receives a TRILL frame, it checks the V

field and drops the frame if the Vfield is not 0.

R Reserved for future extension. An ingress RB sets the R field to 0when adding a

TRILL header. Transit RBs and egress RBs ignore the field.

Multidestination attribute:

•0—Known unicast frame.

•1—Multidestination frame (multicast, broadcast, or unknown unicast frame).

Op-Length Length of the Options field. 0indicates that the Options field does not exist.

Hop Count Hop count, which is used to avoid loops. An RB drops a TRILL frame whose hop

count is decremented to 0.

Egress RB Nickname Nickname of the egress RB.

Ingress RB Nickname Nickname of the ingress RB.

Options Options field. This field exists when the Op-Length field is non-zero.

How TRILL works

TRILL establishes and maintains adjacencies between RBs by periodically advertising Hello frames,

distributes LSPs among RB neighbors, and generates an LSDB for all RBs in the network. Based on

the LSDB, each RB uses the SPF algorithm to calculate forwarding entries destined to other RBs.

TRILL forwarding mechanisms

TRILL uses different mechanisms to forward Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic. The following sections

describe these mechanisms.

Layer 2 forwarding mechanisms

TRILL forwards the traffic within a VLAN by using the following mechanisms:

•Unicast frame forwarding mechanism.

As shown in Figure 2, a unicast frame is forwarded as follows:

a. When a unicast frame enters the TRILL network, the ingress RB encapsulates the original

Ethernet frame with the following headers:

−A TRILL header (similar to an IP header).

−An outer Ethernet header (similar to the Ethernet header of a regular Ethernet frame).

b. RBs forward the frame hop by hop according to the egress RB nickname in the TRILL

header in the same way routers forward IP packets. Each hop replaces the outer Ethernet

header with an appropriate outer Ethernet header, and decrements the hop count in the

TRILL header.

c. Upon receiving the TRILL frame, the egress RB de-encapsulates it to obtain the original

Ethernet frame, and sends the frame to the target device.

Figure 2 Layer 2 unicast frame forwarding flow

The outer Ethernet header enables traditional Ethernet switches to forward TRILL frames and

connect RBs.

•Multidestination frame forwarding mechanism.

In a TRILL network, RBs perform the following operations:

{Compute a TRILL distribution tree for each VLAN based on the LSDB.

{Guide the forwarding of multidestination frames in each VLAN by using its TRILL distribution

tree.

Unicast frame

As shown in Figure 3, when a multicast frame from VLAN 10 enters the TRILL network, RB 1,

which is an ingress RB, encapsulates the multicast frame into a TRILL frame. In the frame, the

egress RB is RB 2, the root bridge of the TRILL distribution tree for VLAN 10. When the frame

arrives at the root bridge, it is distributed throughout the TRILL distribution tree. Then, the TRILL

frame is de-encapsulated by RB 3 and sent to the destination station S2. Because the network

segment where RB 4 resides does not have a receiver of this frame, RB 4 drops the frame.

Figure 3 Layer 2 multicast frame forwarding flow

TRILL selects distribution trees for forwarding multidestination frames based on the VLANs to

which the frames belong. Because the topologies of TRILL distribution trees are different, traffic

can be load shared. However, equal-cost links are not used for load sharing.

When N equal-cost links exist in the network, each TRILL distribution tree selects the link with

the largest pseudonode ID for forwarding packets. As shown in Figure 4, two equal-cost links

exist between RB 1 and RB 2. Assume the link directly connecting RB 1 to RB 2 has the largest

pseudonode ID. Both the TRILL distribution tree rooted at RB 1 and the TRILL distribution tree

rooted at RB 4 select the link. For more information about pseudonode IDs, see Layer 3—IP

Routing Configuration Guide.
