Example: Configuring Loop Prevention in VPLS Network Due to MAC Moves
MAC Moves Loop Prevention in VPLS Network Overview
Starting in Junos OS 14.2, you can configure the router to prevent a loop in a VPLS network. In a virtual private LAN service (VPLS) deployment, when a previously learned media access control (MAC) address appears on a different physical interface, for example, local interfaces (Gigabit Ethernet interfaces) or label switched Interfaces (LSIs), or within a different unit of the same physical interface and if this behavior occurs frequently, then it is considered a MAC move.
You can configure the router to report a MAC address move based on the following parameters:
Number of times a MAC address move occurs
Specified period of time over which the MAC address move occurs
Configuration errors at the network can force traffic into never ending circular paths or loops. These loops in the VPLS network cause frequent MAC moves between different interfaces which can be used to rectify the problem by disabling such an interface in the network. The following two approaches can be used to disable the interface causing the loop:
Base learning interface (base IFL) approach algorithm- This is the primary approach used to disable the looped interface. Base interface information is maintained for every MAC in the routing instance. If the MAC stays at the interface it was first learned for 300 seconds, then the interface-MAC association is considered to be stable and this interface is considered as the base interface of the MAC. If the MAC move happens frequently between the local interface and the LSI interface while the base interface of the MAC is an LSI, then the local interface is considered to be looped and has to be disabled.
Statistical approach algorithm– This is the secondary approach used to disable the looped interface. If the MAC has not been learned for over 300 seconds at an interface, then it does not have a base interface and hence the statistical approach is used.
If the MAC that has no base interface information( Base Learning interface is null) starts moving, then the statistics of such MAC moves between different interfaces is learned. If the statistics show MAC moves from LSI to local interface or from local interface to local interface, then the local interface is considered to be looped and is disabled.
There are certain MACs that can move between different interfaces, for example, primary role change in the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). The base interface of such MAC moves cannot be maintained as this leads to the assumption of a loop creation. Hence, such MACs should be configured as virtual MACs. Example of virtual MACs are 00:00:5e:00:01:xx for VRRP, 00:00:0c:07:ac:xx for hot standby router protocol (HSRP) , 00:07:b4:00:01:xx for global server load balancing (GSLB), and 02:bf:xx:xx:xx:xx for VMotion.
Starting with Junos
OS Release 17.4R1, the global-mac-move statement replaces
the vpls-mac-move statement. The following
timers under the global-mac-move statement help in monitoring the disabled interfaces:
Cooloff time — The cooloff time starts when the interface gets disabled. During this time any MAC move happening in the routing instance is ignored. This ensures that only one interface is blocked at a given time on a routing instance, and blocking of another interface happens only after the expiration of the cooloff timer provided the given MAC moves are still observed. By default, the cooloff time is 30 seconds.
Interface recovery time — When an interface gets disabled , it is disabled permanently. Configuring the interface recovery time ensures that the interface gets enabled on completion of the interface recovery time duration. We recommend that you configure an interface recovery time of more than 300 seconds.
Statistical approach wait time — The time when the statistics are collected after MAC moves are observed to determine the existence of a loop when there is no base IFL for the MAC address. . By default, the statistical approach wait timer is 30 seconds.
Before the base learning interface of a MAC address is established, the statistical approach algorithm is used in MAC move loop prevention. When a statistical approach algorithm is used, the offending MAC address is shown with a MAC address of 00:00:00:00:00:00. Until the base learning interface of MAC addresses are established, this may cause interfaces with routing loops to be misidentified.

Configuring VPLS Loop Prevention Due to MAC Moves
In a virtual private LAN service (VPLS) deployment, when a previously learned media access control (MAC) address appears on a different physical interface, for example, local interfaces (Gigabit Ethernet interfaces) or label switched Interfaces (LSIs), or within a different unit of the same physical interface and if this behavior occurs frequently, then it is considered a MAC move. The router reports a MAC address move based on the number of times a MAC address move occurs and the specified period of time over which the MAC address move occurs. Configuration errors at the VPLS network can lead to loops that cause frequent MAC moves between different interfaces. These moves can be used to rectify the problem by disabling such interface in the network. The following two approaches can be used to disable the interface:
Base learning interface (base IFL) approach algorithm — This is the primary approach used to disable the looped local interface.
Statistical approach algorithm — This is the secondary approach used to disable the looped local interface.
Some virtual MACs can genuinely move between different interfaces and such MACs can be configured to ignore the moves. The cooloff time and the statistical approach wait time are used internally to find out the looped interface. The interface recovery time can be configured to auto-enable the interface that gets disabled due to a loop in the network.
Before you begin to configure loop prevention in a VPLS network:
Configure the VPLS topology.
Configure the VPLS routing instances.
Enable VPLS MAC move action on a VPLS instance.
Configure the routing and signaling protocols.
The following
uses the global-mac-move command, which replaced the vpls-mac-move command starting with Junos OS Release 17.4R1.

Overview
Starting with Junos OS Release 14.2, the loop creation in the VPLS network due to frequent MAC moves between different physical interfaces can be prevented by identifying and disabling such interfaces using the base IFL approach or statistical approach algorithm.
The base IFL approach algorithm is the primary approach. Base interface information is maintained for every MAC in the routing instance. If the MAC stays at the interface it was first learned for 300 seconds, then the interface-MAC association is considered to be stable, and this interface is considered as the base interface of the MAC. If the MAC move happens frequently between the local interface and the LSI interface while the base interface of the MAC is an LSI, then the local interface is considered to be looped and has to be disabled.
The statistical approach algorithm is the secondary approach used to disable the looped interface. If the MAC has not been learned for over 300 seconds at an interface, then it does not have a base interface and hence the statistical approach is used. If the MAC that has no base interface information( Base Learning interface is null) starts moving then the statistics of such MAC moves between different interfaces is learned. If the statistics show MAC moves from LSI to local interface or from local interface to local interface then the local interface is considered to be looped and is disabled.
Topology
In the topology shown in Figure 1, a loop was detected on Device PE1 in the VPLS network.
