V300 Bridge Port Extenders (BPEs) Support Extended Edge Switching Rings

For ExtremeXOS 30.7, V300 bridge port extenders (BPEs) support Extended Edge Switching rings.

Extended Edge Switching rings allow two Extended Edge Switching (VPEX) cascades to be joined together to form a control plane ring. If a link breaks or a BPE otherwise leaves, the remaining BPEs reform two data plane cascades, thus keeping both control and data plane connectivity to the controlling bridge (CB) alive. This provides a redundant connection from any BPE in the ring to the CB.

Supported Platforms

Controlling bridges: ExtremeSwitching X670-G2, X465, X590, X690 series switches.

BPEs:
