PIM-DM DT

PIM-DM DT is not VLAN specific. PIM-DM DT can be configured on any VLAN to enable PIM-DM DT.

  • When PIM-DM DT are enabled, the feature is in place.

  • PIM-SM can not be configured with DT.

  • v1 modules must be disabled prior to PIM-DM DT. Module v1 is available with either feature individually but not when enabled together. Use the [no] allow-v1-modules command to disable V1 modules. If PIM-DM DT is enabled first, a v1 module will fail.

  • With v1 modules allowed, PIM and DT must be configured as a first configuration.

  • In multiple VLANs, the configurations can be in combinations of DT and PIM-DM. The PIM-DM DT feature must be enabled on first combination of PIM-DM DT and disabled when the last pair is un-configured. There can be multiple such pairs but each is not strictly bound to the same VLAN.

For information on the [no] allow-v1-modules command, see the management and configuration guide for your switch.


[NOTE: ]

NOTE: DT trunks can use jumbo VLAN as usual, but user needs to ensure that jumbo is configured on both the DT pairs, otherwise packet drops/fragmentations can be seen.

Error Log

On configuring Distributed Trunking on a VLAN where PIM-SM is already configured the following errors may appear.

Error Log

Feature Error Message
Configure DT when PIM enabled SWITCH_ERRORMSG_DT_CANNOT_CONFIGURE_DT Cannot configure Distributed Trunking on a VLAN port that has PIM-SM configured.
SWITCH_ERRORMSG_DT_CANNOT_CONFIGURE_DT_ON_PIM_DEFAULT_VLAN Cannot configure Distributed Trunking because PIM-SM is enabled on DEFAULT VLAN.
Configure PIM-SM when DT enabled SWITCH_ERRORMSG_DT_CANNOT_CONFIGURE_PIM Cannot configure PIM-SM on a VLAN that has Distributed Trunking configured.
V1 module with PIM-DM DT Enabling V1 module with PIM-DM & DT are enabled on the same VLAN. Cannot enable V1 modules when PIM-DM and Distributed Trunking are configured on the same VLAN.
  Enabling PIM-DM or DT when V1 module is allowed. PIM-DM and Distributed Trunking cannot be configured on the same VLAN when V1 modules are enabled.

Exception

Distributed Trunking between different type of switches is not supported.

For example, Distributed Trunking is not supported between HPE Switch 5406 and HPE Switch 5400R nor is Distributed Trunking supported on different platforms.


[NOTE: ]

NOTE: If the switch platforms do not match, an error message will return similar to inconsistant criteria.
