Deploying the B-VLAN plan to SPB devices
Perform this task to deploy planned B-VLAN to ECT algorithm mappings across the SPB network
for consistency. You need to perform this task only for B-VLANs that are not mapped to the planned
ECT algorithms on SPB devices.
To deploy the B-VLAN plan to SPB devices:
1. On the B-VLAN Plan tab, click a B-VLAN ID in red.
The B-VLAN Plan area displays the planned B-VLAN ID to ECT algorithm mapping. The Devices
Incompliant with B-VLAN Plan area contains the following information:
• Device Name—Name of an SPB device incompliant with the B-VLAN plan. To view the
device details, click the device name. For more information, see HP IMC Base Platform
Administrator Guide.
• B-VLAN ID—B-VLAN ID.
• ECT Index—ECT algorithm index mapped to the B-VLAN on the device.
• Ignored—Plan compliance check setting:
◦ Yes—The SPB module does not compare the device's B-VLAN to ECT algorithm
mapping with the B-VLAN plan for inconsistency. To change the setting to No, click
the Yes link.
◦ No—The SPB module compares the device's B-VLAN to ECT algorithm mapping with
the B-VLAN plan for inconsistency. To change the setting to Yes, click the No link.
You may choose to ignore plan compliance check for a B-VLAN on an SPB device if the
device is not planned to forward traffic for the B-VLAN. The device will be considered as
compliant with the B-VLAN ID.
2. Select devices from the plan-incompliant device list.
3. Click Correct Device Config to deploy the planned B-VLAN to ECT algorithm mapping to the
selected devices.
4. To correct the B-VLAN to ECT algorithm mappings for other B-VLANs on SPB devices, repeat
the previous steps.
Managing SPB services
An SPB service corresponds to an SPB VSI on BEBs.
For each SPB service, you must assign a unique I-SID and a B-VLAN.
To assign a type of traffic from a customer site to an SPB service, you must perform the following
tasks:
1. Create an Ethernet service instance on the attachment circuit to match the traffic.
2. Associate the Ethernet service instance with the SPB service.
SPB service management enables you to configure and deploy SPB services on all BEBs. You can
also tune the settings on individual BEBs.
Viewing the SPB service list
To view the SPB service list:
1. From the navigation tree, select Service > VAN Fabric Manager > LAN Configuration > SPB.
