Hello guys!
Here is the issue I faced with.
Imagine, we have a ring topology as depicted. Ports ge-0/0/0 and ge-0/0/2 are uplink trunk ports, port ge-0/0/1 - downlink access port.
Vlan-id 100 is the only one vlan that is allowed to pass ports ge-0/0/0 and ge-0/0/1.
See configuration snippet bellow.
ge-0/0/0 {
unit 0 {
ethernet-switching {
port-mode trunk;
vlan {
members 100;
}
}
}
}
ge-0/0/1 {
unit 0 {
ethernet-switching {
port-mode access;
vlan {
members 100;
}
}
}
}
ge-0/0/2 {
unit 0 {
ethernet-switching {
port-mode trunk;
vlan {
members 200;
}
}
}
}
If sw1 receives ingress packet tagged with vlan-id 100 on its ge-0/0/2 port, switch accepts packet and send it forward regarding to its vlan-table (ge-0/0/0 and ge-0/0/1 accordingly), this leads to forming unidirectional L2 loop.
I heard that there are two types of packet filtering: egress and ingress. I supposed that Juniper switches use ingress filtering, so I expected that received packet tagged with vlan-id 100 on ge-0/0/2 should be dropped. Am I right? Could you tell me where can I find description of such behavior in case if Junipers uses egress vlan filtering scheme?
Thanks a lot in advance.
