Migrating traffic to SPB
Pre migration checks for configuration migration to SPB should include an audit to determine if the desired
configuration and traffic is something that is supported by SPB. The following kinds of traffic are supported
by SPB.
Layer-2 bridged traffic.
IPv4 unicast routed traffic on the Global Router.
IPv4 unicast routed traffic using a VRF.
IPv4 Unicast routed traffic using an IPVPN (ERS 8800 only).
IPv4 multicast routed traffic. ERS8000 software release 7.2, VSP 4000 software release 3.1, VSP
9000 release 3.4 and VSP 72000/8000 release 4.1 add support for L2VSN, L3VSN and IP
Shortcut.
o If a PIM router is connected to an SPB bridge, either use IGMP or static IGMP entries
The following traffic is supported on selected platforms – please refer to chapter 6.
IPv6 unicast routed traffic
Traffic which is not yet supported by SPB can continue to exist in parallel to SPB. Please note that only
the ERS 8800 and VSP 9000 can support SPBM in addition to a classical SMLT deployment.
