Networking Requirements

The S1720GFR, S5700S-28P-LI-AC, and S5700S-52P-LI-AC do not support this configuration.

On the network shown in Figure 4-24, Switch3 and Switch4 are connected through Stack cables to increase the total capacity. The two switches are considered as one logical switch. To improve reliability, physical interfaces on the two switches are added to an Eth-Trunk. When the network runs properly, traffic from VLAN 2 is forwarded through GE1/0/1 and GE1/0/2, and traffic from VLAN 3 is forwarded through GE1/0/1 and GE1/0/2. This increases bandwidth use efficiency between devices and reduces traffic forwarding efficiency.

To improve traffic forwarding efficiency, traffic from VLAN 2 should be forwarded through GE1/0/1 and traffic from VLAN 3 should be forwarded through GE1/0/2. To achieve this goal, configure the Eth-Trunk to preferentially forward local traffic.

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

  1. Create an Eth-Trunk.

  2. Add member interfaces to the Eth-Trunk.

  3. Configure the Eth-Trunk to preferentially forward local traffic.

  4. Configure the Layer 2 forwarding function.

Procedure

  1. Create an Eth-Trunk and configure the Eth-Trunk to allow packets all VLANs to pass through.

    # Configure the stack.

    <HUAWEI> system-view
    [HUAWEI] sysname Stack
    [Stack] interface eth-trunk 10
    [Stack-Eth-Trunk10] port link-type trunk 
    [Stack-Eth-Trunk10] port trunk allow-pass vlan all
    [Stack-Eth-Trunk10] quit

    # Configure the PE.

    <HUAWEI> system-view
    [HUAWEI] sysname PE
    [PE] interface eth-trunk 10
    [PE-Eth-Trunk10] port link-type trunk
    [PE-Eth-Trunk10] port trunk allow-pass vlan all
    [PE-Eth-Trunk10] quit

  2. Add member interfaces to the Eth-Trunk.

    # Configure the stack.

    [Stack] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/4
    [Stack-GigabitEthernet1/0/4] eth-trunk 10
    [Stack-GigabitEthernet1/0/4] quit
    [Stack] interface gigabitethernet 2/0/4
    [Stack-GigabitEthernet2/0/4] eth-trunk 10
    [Stack-GigabitEthernet2/0/4] quit

    # Configure the PE.

    [PE] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1
    [PE-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] eth-trunk 10
    [PE-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit
    [PE] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/2
    [PE-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] eth-trunk 10
    [PE-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] quit

  3. In the stack view, configure the Eth-Trunk to preferentially forward local traffic. 

    [Stack] interface eth-trunk 10
    [Stack-Eth-Trunk10] local-preference enable
    [Stack-Eth-Trunk10] quit

  4. Configure the Layer 2 forwarding function.

    # Configure the stack.

    [Stack] vlan batch 2 3
    [Stack] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/3
    [Stack-GigabitEthernet1/0/3] port link-type trunk
    [Stack-GigabitEthernet1/0/3] port trunk allow-pass vlan 2
    [Stack-GigabitEthernet1/0/3] quit
    [Stack] interface gigabitethernet 2/0/3
    [Stack-GigabitEthernet2/0/3] port link-type trunk
    [Stack-GigabitEthernet2/0/3] port trunk allow-pass vlan 3
    [Stack-GigabitEthernet2/0/3] quit

    # Configure Switch1.

    <HUAWEI> system-view
    [HUAWEI] sysname Switch1
    [Switch1] vlan 2
    [Switch1-vlan2] quit
    [Switch1] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
    [Switch1-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port link-type trunk
    [Switch1-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port trunk allow-pass vlan 2
    [Switch1-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit
    [Switch1] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/2
    [Switch1-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port link-type trunk
    [Switch1-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port trunk allow-pass vlan 2
    [Switch1-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] quit

    # Configure Switch2.

    <HUAWEI> system-view
    [HUAWEI] sysname Switch2
    [Switch2] vlan 3
    [Switch2-vlan3] quit
    [Switch2] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
    [Switch2-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port link-type trunk
    [Switch2-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port trunk allow-pass vlan 3
    [Switch2-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit
    [Switch2] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/2
    [Switch2-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port link-type trunk
    [Switch2-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port trunk allow-pass vlan 3
    [Switch2-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] quit

  5. Verify the configuration.

    Run the display trunkmembership eth-trunk command in any view to check information about Eth-Trunk member interfaces.

    The display on the stack is used as an example.

    <Stack> display trunkmembership eth-trunk 10
    Trunk ID: 10
Used status: VALID
TYPE: ethernet
Working Mode : Normal
Number Of Ports in Trunk = 2
Number Of Up Ports in Trunk = 2
Operate status: up

Interface GigabitEthernet1/0/4, valid, operate up, weight=1
Interface GigabitEthernet2/0/4, valid, operate up, weight=1
