Configuring RPM Source Sessions to Avoid BPD Issues
When you configure an RPM source session, you can avoid BPDU issues by using the configuration:
1. Enable the MAC control-plane egress ACL.
mac control-plane egress-acl
2. Create an extended MAC access list and add a deny rule for (0x0180c2xxxxxx) packets using the
following commands:
mac access-list extended mac2
seq 5 deny any 01:80:c2:00:00:00 00:00:00:ff:ff:ff count
3. Apply the extended MAC ACL on the RPM VLAN (VLAN 10 in the following example).
Dell#show running-config interface vlan 10
!
interface Vlan 10
no ip address
mode remote-port-mirroring
tagged Port-channel 2
mac access-group mac2 out
no shutdown
4. Create an RPM session (In the following example, port-channels 1 and 2 are LACP).
Dell(conf)#monitor session 1 type rpm
Dell(conf-mon-sess-1)#source port-channel 1 destination remote-vlan 10
dir rx
Dell(conf-mon-sess-1)#no disable
5. Verify the port-channel configuration.
Dell#show interfaces port-channel brief
Codes: L - LACP Port-channel
O - OpenFlow Controller Port-channel
