hi,
so for performance measures, it should not change a thing if it's standalone
or stacked...
but if you still want it standalone, feel free to replace the configs from
the archives anytime...
imho it was converted to stacking a month ago or so...

Hello

We would like to test the system as a stand alone machine.
This work is made in the context of performance assessment.

I do not want to disturb your development. Maybe we should book the POZNAN
router for a specific date to make our test ?

Regards
Xavier

hi,
if it was a standalone switch then yess, but as we're playing with
stack/multichassis/linecard-based/whatever we call it for a while,
the backplane stuff alone involves mpls because regular bridging is expressed
internally as vpls (and basic routing as mpls vpn)...
where the inner label is the regular service label and the outer label is
identifying a member of the stack...

Hello Csaba,

What about "profile-renater-peering-l2.p4" and
"profile-renater-peering-l2.tmpl" ?
Can we use it form bridging performance test ?

Regards
Xavier

hi,
two things:
1) the lab was recently reconfigured to be a stack of poz-bud-fra-ams...
if you want to configure any ports of these four, please perform it
at
netops@rare-bastion-86-7968c4d54f-qkv2x:~$ ctrl-rare
2) the current active profile is geant-testbed at all of these which
does not include bridging... you can set the profile individually,
let's say just on POZ0001#tna-set-profile <capitalized name from>
https://bitbucket.software.geant.org/projects/RARE/repos/rare/browse/profiles,
but, right now, we don't have anything with bridging and mpls both
enabled...
i'll add a vpls profile asap but i'll take some time until it goes
through
the release processes... (imho it should be out by next monday...)

Hi,

I'm trying to make RFC2889 address learning/caching tests on poz-rare

I have bridge defined with ports:
POZ0001#show bridge 3
packet byte
iface fwd phys
tx rx drop tx rx drop grp
brprt bvi
sdn4 true true
0 0 0 0 0 0
sdn6 true true
0 0 0 0 0 0
sdn7 true true
0 0 0 0 0 0


packet byte
addr iface static time tx rx drop
tx rx drop

But there's no traffic.
Interfaces are configred this way:

POZ0001#sh run int sdn4
interface sdn4
description POZ0001@31/0 -> SPIRENT@PSCN-#1
mtu 2000
macaddr 0031.645a.1c09
lldp enable
cdp enable
bridge-group 3
no shutdown
no log-link-change
exit
!

Do I need any specific configuration for that?
I'm sending just untagged frames from the tester.

br
Tomek
