34.3 ULPP Typical Examples 
34.3.1 ULPP Typical Example1 
ULPP typical example1 
The above topology is the typical application environment of ULPP protocol. 
SwitchA has two uplinks, they are SwitchB and SwitchC. When any protocols are not enabled, 
this topology forms a ring. For avoiding the loopback, SwitchA can configure ULPP protocol, 
the master port and the slave port of ULPP group. When both master port and slave port are 
up, the slave port will be set as standby state and will not forward the data packets. When the 
master port is down, the slave  port will be set as  forwarding state and switch to the  uplink. 
SwitchB and SwitchC can enable the command that receives the flush packets, it is used to 
associate with ULPP protocol running of SwitchA to switch the uplink immediately and reduce 
the switch delay. 
When  configuring  ULPP  protocol  of  SwitchA,  first,  create  a  ULPP  group  and  configure  the 
protection VLAN of this group as vlan10, then configure interface Ethernet 1/0/1 as the master 
port, interface Ethernet 1/0/2 as the slave port, the control VLAN as 10. SwitchB and SwitchC 
configure the flush packets that receive ULPP. 
SwitchA configuration task list: 
Switch(Config)#vlan 10 
Switch(Config-vlan10)#switchport interface ethernet 1/0/1; 1/0/2 
Switch(Config-vlan10)#exit 
Switch(Config)#spanning-tree mst configuration 
Switch(Config-Mstp-Region)#instance 1 vlan 10 
Switch(Config-Mstp-Region)#exit 
Switch(Config)#ulpp group 1 
Switch(ulpp-group-1)#protect vlan-reference-instance 1 
Switch(ulpp-group-1)#control vlan 10
