Figure 51: Metro ring access solution
The following list outlines the benefits of the Metro-Ethernet Provider solution:
• Easy end-point provisioning
• optimal resiliency
• secure tenant separation
Best practices
This section provides best practices to configure an SPBM network.
IS-IS
The following list identifies best practices for IS-IS:
• Avaya recommends that you change the IS-IS system ID from the default B-MAC value
to a recognizable address to easily identify a switch. This change helps to recognize
source and destination addresses for troubleshooting purposes.
- If you leave the system ID as the default value (safe practice as it ensures no
duplication in the network), it can be difficult to recognize the source and destination
B-MAC for troubleshooting purposes.
