Layer 2 Redistribution

In the Multi-area SPB network the layer 2 redistribution identifies the services that the system transports from the home area to the remote area and the I-SIDs that the system extends across the boundary nodes in an area. The destination area permits or denies the services on basis of the Layer 2 redistribution policies that you configure.

You can configure the Layer 2 I-SID redistribution on the switch globally. The Layer 2 redistribution policies are bidirectional, which means only one redistribution filter applies to both the home area and the remote area.

Note

Note

Any changes in the Layer 2 I-SIDs in the home area will trigger updates to the redistributed I-SIDs in the remote area or vice versa.
