Hi all, I would like to known if anyone have used 802.3ah OAM to detect a link failure in a point-to-point link running RSTP or MST, but in the case that this link is transported over a DWDM o SDH NG path, so it is possible to detect a link failu...
Hi all, I think this is a simple question but I can´t find the answer, yet!In a RSTP or MST enviroment, BPDUs are used as keepalives in point-to-point links. Correct ?? So if three consecutives BPDUs are lost, we can assume the path between the two s...
Hi all!I have a ring topology with 5 switches running MST Standard with 2 instances. The Aggregation switch is configured within a MST Region, and the others 4 switches belong to another MST Region. I am doing some tests to find out the real converge...
OK, Xander! Thanks for your soon response. So, in this situation you will have a layer 2 loop in the network, right ? Do yo think that MST-AG will improve this in the future ?
Thanks again!

Hi Xander!
I´d would like to know the behaviour of MST-AG if you connect, by mistake for example, the two interfaces of the Access Gateways. I mean, bypassing the access switches. MST is able to protect the network in this rare situation, and I´m won...
Thanks for this confirmation. We are going to do some tests very soon. One more thing... we know when a BPDU with TC bit on is received, the ASR9K flush the mac table of the BD and triggers an EoMPLS MAC withdraw. I´d like to know if a TC received on...
Hi Xander!Yes, I know that g.8032 would be perfect, but the access network does not support it, yet. Think about the topology above, with more than 100 access rings with more than 8 switches each, connected to the same ASR9K. That´s why I want to use...
Hi Xander! Thanks for your response.Maybe, I was not clear enough. Please, look at this topology and you will understand my question. I think, I still need spanning-tree because the access network is a L2 ring with access switches.Thanks againRegards...
