Example for Configuring DAD in Relay Mode on Eth-Trunk
Networking Requirements
As shown in Figure 1-34, SwitchA and SwitchB set up a stack and connect to the upstream and downstream devices through Eth-Trunk. It is expected that stack split detection will be performed through Eth-Trunk.
Configuration Roadmap
Use SwitchC as a DAD relay agent. On the stack, configure DAD in relay mode on Eth-Trunk10 connected to SwitchC.
On SwitchC, enable the DAD relay function on Eth-Trunk10 so that DAD packets can be forwarded through Eth-Trunk10.
To enable DAD packets to be forwarded over Eth-Trunk member links, use a switch that supports the DAD relay function as the relay agent. All Huawei CloudEngine series switches support the DAD relay function. Huawei S series switches support this function since V200R003C00. On S series switches, DAD is also called multi-active detection (MAD).
Procedure
- On the stack, configure DAD in relay mode on Eth-Trunk10.

- Verify the configuration.

After the DAD function is configured:
- If a stack split occurs, the alarm "DAD_1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.246.1.1 hwDadConflictDetect" is generated.
- If the stack recovers from a split, the alarm "DAD_1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.246.1.2 hwDadConflictResume" is generated.
If no service is configured in the stack, simulate a stack split situation to check whether the DAD function is configured successfully.Do not trigger a stack split when services are running on the stack. Otherwise, services are affected.
Trigger a stack split by disabling all ports with stack cables connected or removing all stack cables.
Run the display stack command to check whether the number of stack member switches reduces. If so, the stack has split.
- Run the display trapbuffer command to check whether there are DAD alarms.

Restore the stack by enabling all ports used for stack connections or reconnecting stack cables so that the stack can be set up again.
