Hardware-Assisted ELRP
Hardware-assisted ELRP allows ELRP to detect loops faster and to support more ELRP clients.
Supported Platforms
All ExtremeSwitching Universal switches.
Limitations
For hardware-assisted ELRP:
- Only front panel ports can be configured as the loopback port.
- Only disabling ingress port is supported after a loop is detected.
- MLAG ports are not supported.
- Software ELRP and hardware-assisted ELRP cannot operate simultaneously.
- Only standalone clients are supported.
- Not supported on dynamic VLANs.
- Maximum loop detection interval is determined by each platforms hardware capability. For most platforms, an ELRP packet is 70 bytes.
- Non-periodic requests are not supported.
- Extended Edge Switching is not supported.
