Abstract:
An apparatus configured to provide active-active access to a transparent interconnection of lots of links (TRILL) campus. The apparatus includes a first access port associated with a first customer equipment (CE) and a second access port associated with a second CE. The first access port is configured to receive a frame from the first CE. The apparatus includes a processor configured to replicate the frame to generate a replicated frame, determine that a pseudo-nickname associated with the first access port and the pseudo-nickname associated with the second access port are the same, and determine that the first access port and the second access port are associated with different multi-chassis link aggregations (MC-LAGs). The apparatus also includes a transmitter configured to forward the replicated frame to the second CE using the second access port.
