4.7.3 UFO Example Configuration (Static)
In a simple configuration, a UFO can be used to provide a permanent (static) Forwarding Mode, since these will
never have to change. Refer to the following figure.
FIGURE 4-19 UFO Model - Static Configuration
RESTRICTED The VLAN cannot be used by all interfaces
at the same time.
This is not used on the SBx3112.
STP The Spanning Tree Protocol will dynamically
determine the upstream interface.
Upstream is towards Root Bridge (refer
to Overview of Spanning Trees).
EPSR The VLAN(s) are part of an EPSR configura-
tion and the EPSR protocol determines the
UPSTREAM interface.
Upstream is towards EPSR Master (refer
to Ethernet Protection Switched Ring
(EPSR) and SuperLoop Prevention)
UCP The UCP protocol will determine the
UPSTREAM interface dynamically regardless
of the type of configuration.
Upstream is determined by UCP protocol
(refer to Upstream Control Protocol
(UCP)).
