occurs. You can optimize the booting time of the ToR nodes that experience a single point of failure
to reduce the outage in traffic-handling operations.
RoCE over a routed system is called RRoCE. RRoCE has IP headers. RRoCE is bursty and uses the entire
10-Gigabit Ethernet interface. Although RRoCE and normal data traffic are propagated in separate
network portions, it may be necessary in certain topologies to combine both the RRoCE and the data
traffic in a single network structure. RRoCE traffic is marked with dot1p priorities 3 and 4 (code points 011
and 100, respectively) and these queues are strict and lossless. DSCP code points are not tagged for
RRoCE. Both ECN and PFC are enabled for RRoCE traffic. For normal IP or data traffic that is not RRoCE-
enabled, the packets comprise TCP and UDP packets and they can be marked with DSCP code points.
Multicast is not supported in that network.
Preserving 802.1Q VLAN Tag Value for Lite Subinterfaces
This functionality is supported on the S6000 platform.
All the frames in a Layer 2 VLAN are identified using a tag defined in the IEEE 802.1Q standard to
determine the VLAN to which the frames or traffic are relevant or associated. Such frames are
encapsulated with the 802.1Q tags. If a single VLAN is configured in a network topology, all the traffic
packets contain the same do1q tag, which is the tag value of the 802.1Q header. If a VLAN is split into
multiple, different sub-VLANs, each VLAN is denoted by a unique 8021.Q tag to enable the nodes that
receive the traffic frames determine the VLAN for which the frames are destined.
Typically, a Layer 3 physical interface processes only untagged or priority-tagged packets. Tagged
packets that are received on Layer 3 physical interfaces are dropped. To enable the routing of tagged
packets, the port that receives such tagged packets needs to be configured as a switchport and must be
bound to a VLAN as a tagged member port.
A lite subinterface is similar to a normal Layer 3 physical interface, except that additional provisioning is
performed to set the VLAN ID for encapsulation.
A physical interface or a Layer 3 Port channel interface can be configured as a lite subinterface. Once a
lite subinterface is configured, only tagged IP packets with encapsulation VLAN ID are processed and
routed. All other data packets are discarded except the Layer 2 and Layer 3 control frames. It is not
required for a VLAN ID to be preserved (in the hardware or the OS application) when a VLAN ID, used for
encapsulation, is associated with a physical/Port-channel interface. Normal VLANs and VLAN
encapsulation can exist simultaneously and any non-unicast traffic received on a normal VLAN is not
flooded using lite subinterfaces whose encapsulation VLAN ID matches with that of the normal VLAN ID.
You can use the encapsulation dot1q vlan-id command in INTERFACE mode to configure lite
subinterfaces.
