Configuring a service loopback group 
(available only on the 5500 EI) 
Overview 
To increase traffic redirecting throughput, you can bundle multiple Ethernet ports of a device together to 
increase bandwidth and implement load sharing. These ports that act as a logical link form a service 
loopback group. A service loopback group must contain  at least one Ethernet port as its member port, 
called a service loopback port. 
For example, by assigning three Ethernet ports of the same device to a...

2.
 
Set the state of each member port in the service loopback group. 
Figure 78  Setting the state of each member port in a service loopback group 
 
 
 NOTE: 
Every time a new port is assigned to a service loo pback group, the system resets the state of the member
ports in the service loopback group accord ing to the process described previously. 
 
Configuration restrictions and guidelines 
•  A service loopback group may be referenced by mu ltiple features once it is created, and can

Configuring MVRP 
Overview 
Multiple Registration Protocol (MRP) is an attribute registration protocol and transmits attribute messages. 
Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP) is a ty pical MRP application. MVRP propagates and learns 
VLAN configuration among devices. MVRP enab les a device to propagates the local VLAN 
configuration to the other devices, receive VLAN  configuration from other devices, and dynamically 
update the local VLAN configuration (including the active VLANs and the...

 246 
MVRP registers and deregisters VLAN attributes as follows: 
•  When a port receives the declaration of a VLAN attribute, the port registers the VLAN and joins the 
VLAN.  
•   When a port receives the withdrawal of a VLAN at tribute, the port deregisters the VLAN and leaves 
the VLAN.

registration and deregistration are performed on a per-MSTI basis.

MRP timers 
The implementation of MRP uses the following timers to control MRP message transmission.  
•  Pe rio d ic  t i m e r  
On startup, an MRP participant starts its own Peri odic timer to control MRP message transmission. 
The MRP participant collects the MRP messages to be  sent before the Periodic timer expires, and 
sends the MRP messages in as few packets as po ssible when the Periodic timer expires and 
meanwhile restarts the  Periodic timer. This mechanism reduces the number of MRP...

 248 
An MVRP participant in fixed registration mode disables deregistering dynamic VLANs, sends 
declarations for dynamic VLANs and static VLANs, and drops received MVRP protocol packets. 
As a result, an MVRP participant port in fixed regi stration mode does not deregister or register 
dynamic VLANs.
