located. The path where the secondary edge interface is located is idle, which leads to a waste
of bandwidth.
To solve the problem of bandwidth waste and to implement traffic load balancing, Huawei
develops SEP multi-instance.

SEP Segment1
As shown in Figure 10-15, a ring network comprising Layer 2 switches LSW1 to LSW5 is
connected to the network. SEP runs at the aggregation layer. SEP multi-instance is configured
on LSW1 to LSW4. This allows two SEP segments to solve the problem of bandwidth waste,
implement load balancing, and provide link backup.
