2 Configuration Fundamentals The Dell Networking operating system command line interface (CLI) is a text-based interface you can use to configure interfaces and protocols. The CLI is structured in modes for security and management purposes. Different sets of commands are available in each mode, and you can limit user access to modes using privilege levels. In the Dell Networking OS, after you enable a command, it is entered into the running configuration file.
• EXEC mode is the default mode and has a privilege level of 1, which is the most restricted level. Only a limited selection of commands is available, notably the show commands, which allow you to view system information. • EXEC Privilege mode has commands to view configurations, clear counters, manage configuration files, run diagnostics, and enable or disable debug operations. The privilege level is 15, which is unrestricted.

• On the system that is connected over the console, this message appears: % Warning: User "" on line vty0 "10.11.130.2" is in configuration mode If either of these messages appears, Dell Networking recommends coordinating with the users listed in the message so that you do not unintentionally overwrite each other’s configuration changes.
3 Getting Started This chapter describes how you start configuring your system. When you power up the chassis, the system performs a power-on self test (POST) during which the route processor module (RPM), switch fabric module (SFM), and line card status light emitting diodes (LEDs) blink green. The system then loads the Dell Networking operating system. Boot messages scroll up the terminal window during this process. No user interaction is required if the boot process proceeds without interruption.
Console Access The switch has two management ports available for system access: a serial console port and an out-of-bounds (OOB) port. Serial Console A universal serial bus (USB) (A-Type) connector is located at the front panel. The USB can be defined as an External Serial Console (RS-232) port, and is labeled on the chassis. The USB is present on the lower side, as you face the I/O side of the chassis, as shown.
Serial Console 46 Getting Started
External Serial Port with a USB Connector The following table list the pin assignments. Table 2. Pin Assignments USB Pin Number Signal Name Pin 1 RTS Pin 2 RX Pin 3 TX Pin 4 CTS Pin 5, 6 GND RxD Chassis GND Accessing the CLI Interface and Running Scripts Using SSH In addition to the capability to access a device using a console connection or a Telnet session, you can also use SSH for secure, protected communication with the device. You can open an SSH session and run commands or script files.
• To avoid denial of service (DoS) attacks, a rate-limit of 10 concurrent sessions per minute in SSH is devised. Therefore, you might experience a failure in executing SSH-related scripts when multiple short SSH commands are executed. • If you issue an interactive command in the SSH session, the behavior may not really be interactive.

hostname name Example of the hostname Command Dell(conf)#hostname R1 R1(conf)# Configuring a Unique Host Name on the System While you can manually configure a host name for the system, you can also configure the system to have a unique host name. The unique host name is a combination of the platform type and the serial number of the system. The unique host name appears in the command prompt. The running configuration gets updated with the feature unique-name command.
3 • ip-address: an address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D). • mask: a subnet mask in /prefix-length format (/ xx). Enable the interface. INTERFACE mode no shutdown Configure a Management Route Define a path from the system to the network from which you are accessing the system remotely. Management routes are separate from IP routes and are only used to manage the system through the management port. To configure a management route, use the following command.
– privilege level: Assign a privilege levels to the user. The range is from 0 to 15. – role role-name: Assign a role name for the user. Dell EMC Networking OS encrypts type 5 secret and type 7 password based on dynamic-salt option such that the encrypted password is different when an user is configured with the same password. NOTE: dynamic-salt option is shown only with secret and password options.
Copy Files to and from the System The command syntax for copying files is similar to UNIX. The copy command uses the format copy source-file-url destination-file-url. NOTE: For a detailed description of the copy command, refer to the Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide. • To copy a local file to a remote system, combine the file-origin syntax for a local file location with the file-destination syntax for a remote file location.
Example of Importing a File to the Local System core1#$//copy ftp://myusername:mypassword@10.10.10.10//FTOS/ FTOS-EF-8.2.1.0.bin flash:// Destination file name [FTOS-EF-8.2.1.0.bin.bin]: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 26292881 bytes successfully copied Save the Running-Configuration The running-configuration contains the current system configuration. Dell Networking recommends coping your running-configuration to the startup-configuration.
Viewing Files You can only view file information and content on local file systems. To view a list of files or the contents of a file, use the following commands. • View a list of files on the internal flash. EXEC Privilege mode dir flash: • View a list of files on the usbflash. EXEC Privilege mode dir usbflash: • View the contents of a file in the internal flash. EXEC Privilege mode show file flash://filename • View the contents of a file in the usb flash.
View Configuration Files Configuration files have three commented lines at the beginning of the file, as shown in the following example, to help you track the last time any user made a change to the file, which user made the changes, and when the file was last saved to the startup-configuration.

NOTE: If the HTTP service is not VRF-aware, then it uses the global routing table to perform the look-up. To enable an HTTP client to look up the VRF table corresponding to either management VRF or any nondefault VRF, use the ip http vrf command in CONFIGURATION mode. • Configure an HTTP client with a VRF that is used to connect to the HTTP server.

4 Management Dell Networking OS supports management. This chapter describes the different protocols or services used to manage the Dell Networking system.
Creating a Custom Privilege Level Custom privilege levels start with the default EXEC mode command set. You can then customize privilege levels 2-14 by: • removing commands from the EXEC mode commands • moving commands from EXEC Privilege mode to EXEC mode • allowing access to CONFIGURATION mode commands • allowing access to INTERFACE, LINE, ROUTE-MAP, and ROUTER mode commands You can access all commands at your privilege level and below.
privilege exec level level {command ||...|| command} 2 Move a command from EXEC Privilege to EXEC mode. CONFIGURATION mode privilege exec level level {command ||...|| command} 3 Allow access to CONFIGURATION mode. CONFIGURATION mode privilege exec configure level level 4 Allow access to INTERFACE, LINE, ROUTE-MAP, and/or ROUTER mode. Specify all keywords in the command. CONFIGURATION mode privilege configure level level {interface | line | route-map | router} {command-keyword ||...

• Disable logging to the logging buffer. CONFIGURATION mode no logging buffer • Disable logging to terminal lines. CONFIGURATION mode no logging monitor • Disable console logging. CONFIGURATION mode no logging console Audit and Security Logs This section describes how to configure, display, and clear audit and security logs.
When you enabled RBAC and extended logging: • Only the system administrator user role can execute this command. • The system administrator and system security administrator user roles can view security events and system events. • The system administrator user roles can view audit, security, and system events. • Only the system administrator and security administrator user roles can view security logs. • The network administrator and network operator user roles can view system events.
Example of Configuring the Logging Message Format DellEMC(conf)#logging version ? <0-1> Select syslog version (default = 0) DellEMC(conf)#logging version 1 Setting Up a Secure Connection to a Syslog Server You can use reverse tunneling with the port forwarding to securely connect to a syslog server. Figure 1.
In the following example the syslog server IP address is 10.156.166.48 and the listening port is 5141. The switch IP address is 10.16.131.141 and the listening port is 5140 ssh -R 5140:10.156.166.48:5141 admin@10.16.131.141 -nNf 3 Configure logging to a local host. locahost is “127.0.0.1” or “::1”. If you do not, the system displays an error when you attempt to enable role-based only AAA authorization. DellEMC(conf)# logging localhost tcp port DellEMC(conf)#logging 127.0.0.
Configuration Task List for System Log Management There are two configuration tasks for system log management: • Disabling System Logging • Sending System Messages to a Syslog Server Disabling System Logging By default, logging is enabled and log messages are sent to the logging buffer, all terminal lines, the console, and the syslog servers. To disable system logging, use the following commands. • Disable all logging except on the console.
Changing System Logging Settings You can change the default settings of the system logging by changing the severity level and the storage location. The default is to log all messages up to debug level, that is, all system messages. By changing the severity level in the logging commands, you control the number of system messages logged. To specify the system logging settings, use the following commands. • Specify the minimum severity level for logging to the logging buffer.
Display the Logging Buffer and the Logging Configuration To display the current contents of the logging buffer and the logging settings for the system, use the show logging command in EXEC privilege mode. When RBAC is enabled, the security logs are filtered based on the user roles. Only the security administrator and the system administrator can view the security logs.
– kern (for kernel messages) – local0 (for local use) – local1 (for local use) – local2 (for local use) – local3 (for local use) – local4 (for local use) – local5 (for local use) – local6 (for local use) – local7 (for local use) – lpr (for line printer system messages) – mail (for mail system messages) – news (for USENET news messages) – sys9 (system use) – sys10 (system use) – sys11 (system use) – sys12 (system use) – sys13 (system use) – sys14 (system use) – syslog (for syslog messages) – user (for user p
You can configure multiple virtual terminals at one time by entering a number and an end-number. 2 Configure a level and set the maximum number of messages to print. LINE mode logging synchronous [level severity-level | all] [limit] Configure the following optional parameters: • level severity-level: the range is from 0 to 7. The default is 2. Use the all keyword to include all messages. • limit: the range is from 20 to 300. The default is 20.

Enabling Secured CLI Mode The secured CLI mode prevents the users from enhancing the permissions or promoting the privilege levels. • Enter the following command to enable the secured CLI mode: CONFIGURATION Mode secure-cli enable After entering the command, save the running-configuration. Once you save the running-configuration, the secured CLI mode is enabled. If you do not want to enter the secured mode, do not save the running-configuration.
• Specify the directory for users using FTP to reach the system. CONFIGURATION mode ftp-server topdir dir • The default is the internal flash directory. Specify a user name for all FTP users and configure either a plain text or encrypted password. CONFIGURATION mode ftp-server username username password [encryption-type] password Configure the following optional and required parameters: – username: enter a text string. – encryption-type: enter 0 for plain text or 7 for encrypted text.
Denying and Permitting Access to a Terminal Line Dell Networking recommends applying only standard access control lists (ACLs) to deny and permit access to VTY lines. • Layer 3 ACLs deny all traffic that is not explicitly permitted, but in the case of VTY lines, an ACL with no rules does not deny traffic. • You cannot use the show ip accounting access-list command to display the contents of an ACL that is applied only to a VTY line.
none Do not authenticate the user. radius Prompt for a username and password and use a RADIUS server to authenticate. tacacs+ Prompt for a username and password and use a TACACS+ server to authenticate. 1 Configure an authentication method list. You may use a mnemonic name or use the default keyword. The default authentication method for terminal lines is local and the default method list is empty.
Example of Setting the Time Out Period for EXEC Privilege Mode The following example shows how to set the time-out period and how to view the configuration using the show config command from LINE mode. Dell(conf)#line con 0 Dell(config-line-console)#exec-timeout 0 Dell(config-line-console)#show config line console 0 exec-timeout 0 0 Dell(config-line-console)# Using Telnet to get to Another Network Device To telnet to another device, use the following commands. • Telnet to the stack-unit.
Viewing the Configuration Lock Status If you attempt to enter CONFIGURATION mode when another user has locked it, you may view which user has control of CONFIGURATION mode using the show configuration lock command from EXEC Privilege mode. You can then send any user a message using the send command from EXEC Privilege mode. Alternatively, you can clear any line using the clear command from EXEC Privilege mode. If you clear a console session, the user is returned to EXEC mode.
CONFIGURATION mode login concurrent-session limit number-of-sessions Example of Configuring Concurrent Session Limit The following example limits the permitted number of concurrent login sessions to 4. Dell(config)#login concurrent-session limit 4 Enabling the System to Clear Existing Sessions To enable the system to clear existing login sessions, follow this procedure: • Use the following command.
Track Login Activity Dell Networking OS enables you to track the login activity of users and view the successful and unsuccessful login events. When you log in using the console or VTY line, the system displays the last successful login details of the current user and the number of unsuccessful login attempts since your last successful login to the system, and whether the current user’s permissions have changed since the last login.
-----------------------------------------------------------------User: admin Last login time: 12:52:01 UTC Tue Mar 22 2016 Last login location: Line vty0 ( 10.16.127.
The following is sample output of the show login statistics unsuccessful-attempts command. Dell# show login statistics unsuccessful-attempts There were 3 unsuccessful login attempt(s) for user admin in last 30 day(s). The following is sample output of the show login statistics unsuccessful-attempts time-period days command. Dell# show login statistics unsuccessful-attempts time-period 15 There were 0 unsuccessful login attempt(s) for user admin in last 15 day(s).
Recovering from a Forgotten Enable Password Use the following commands if you forget the enable password. 1 Log onto the system using the console. 2 Power-cycle the chassis by switching off all of the power modules and then switching them back on. 3 Hit the ESC key when prompted to abort the boot process. You enter uBoot immediately, as indicated by the => prompt. (during bootup) hit the ESC key when prompted. 4 Set the system parameters to ignore the enable password when the system reloads.
setenv gatewayip address 6 Reload the system. uBoot mode reset Viewing the Reason for Last System Reboot You can view the reason for the last system reboot. To view the reason for the last system reboot, follow this procedure: • Use the following command to view the reason for the last system reboot: EXEC or EXEC Privilege mode show reset-reason [stack-unit {unit-number | all}] Enter the stack-unit keyword and the stack unit number to view the reason for the last system reboot for that stack unit.
5 802.1X 802.1X is a method of port security. A device connected to a port that is enabled with 802.1X is disallowed from sending or receiving packets on the network until its identity can be verified (through a username and password, for example). This feature is named for its IEEE specification. 802.
Figure 2. EAP Frames Encapsulated in Ethernet and RADUIS 88 802.
Figure 3. EAP Frames Encapsulated in Ethernet and RADUIS The authentication process involves three devices: • The device attempting to access the network is the supplicant. The supplicant is not allowed to communicate on the network until the authenticator authorizes the port. It can only communicate with the authenticator in response to 802.1X requests. • The device with which the supplicant communicates is the authenticator. The authenticator is the gate keeper of the network.
The Port-Authentication Process The authentication process begins when the authenticator senses that a link status has changed from down to up: 1 When the authenticator senses a link state change, it requests that the supplicant identify itself using an EAP Identity Request frame. 2 The supplicant responds with its identity in an EAP Response Identity frame.
EAP over RADIUS 802.1X uses RADIUS to shuttle EAP packets between the authenticator and the authentication server, as defined in RFC 3579. EAP messages are encapsulated in RADIUS packets as a type of attribute in Type, Length, Value (TLV) format. The Type value for EAP messages is 79. Figure 5. EAP Over RADIUS RADIUS Attributes for 802.1 Support Dell Networking systems include the following RADIUS attributes in all 802.
Important Points to Remember • The Dell Networking OS supports 802.1X with EAP-MD5, EAP-OTP, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAPv0, PEAPv1, and MS-CHAPv2 with PEAP. • 802.1X is not supported on port-channels or port-channel members. Enabling 802.1X Enable 802.1X globally and at a interface level. Figure 6. 802.1X Enabled 1 Enable 802.1X globally. CONFIGURATION mode dot1x authentication 2 Enter INTERFACE mode on an interface or a range of interfaces. INTERFACE mode interface [range] 3 Enable 802.
dot1x authentication Example of Verifying that 802.1X is Enabled Globally Example of Verifying 802.1X is Enabled on an Interface Verify that 802.1X is enabled globally and at the interface level using the show running-config | find dot1x command from EXEC Privilege mode. The bold lines show that 802.1X is enabled. Dell#show running-config | find dot1x dot1x authentication ! [output omitted] ! interface GigabitEthernet 2/1 ip address 2.2.2.
NOTE: There are several reasons why the supplicant might fail to respond; for example, the supplicant might have been booting when the request arrived or there might be a physical layer problem.

Configuring Dynamic VLAN Assignment with Port Authentication The system supports dynamic VLAN assignment when using 802.1X. The basis for VLAN assignment is RADIUS attribute 81, Tunnel-Private-Group-ID.
Figure 7. Dynamic VLAN Assignment 1 Configure 8021.x globally (refer to Enabling 802.1X) along with relevant RADIUS server configurations (refer to the illustration in Dynamic VLAN Assignment with Port Authentication). 2 Make the interface a switchport so that it can be assigned to a VLAN. 3 Create the VLAN to which the interface will be assigned. 4 Connect the supplicant to the port configured for 802.1X.
The Guest VLAN 802.1X extension addresses this limitation with regard to non-802.1X capable devices and the Authentication-fail VLAN 802.1X extension addresses this limitation with regard to external users. • If the supplicant fails authentication a specified number of times, the authenticator places the port in the Authentication-fail VLAN. • If a port is already forwarding on the Guest VLAN when 802.1X is enabled, the port is moved out of the Guest VLAN and the authentication process begins.

6 Access Control List (ACL) VLAN Groups and Content Addressable Memory (CAM) This chapter describes the access control list (ACL) VLAN group and content addressable memory (CAM) enhancements.
• Whether the maximum number of VLAN numbers permitted per ACL group has exceeded • When a VLAN member that is being added is already a part of another ACL group After these verification steps are performed, the ACL manager considers the command as valid and sends the information to the ACL agent on the line card. The ACL manager notifies the ACL agent in the following cases: • A VLAN member is added or removed from a group, and previously associated VLANs exist in the group.
Configuring ACL VLAN Groups and Configuring FP Blocks for VLAN Parameters This section describes how to optimize the utilization of CAM blocks by configuring ACL VLAN groups that you can attach to VLAN interfaces and also how to configure FP blocks for different VLAN operations. Configuring ACL VLAN Groups You can create an ACL VLAN group and attach the ACL with the VLAN members. The optimization is applicable only when you create an ACL VLAN group.
Group5 Vlan Members : 1,1000 Dell# Configuring FP Blocks for VLAN Parameters Use the cam-acl-vlan command to allocate the number of FP blocks for the various VLAN processes on the system. You can use the no version of this command to reset the number of FP blocks to default. By default, 0 groups are allocated for the ACL in VCAP. ACL VLAN groups or CAM optimization is not enabled by default, and you need to allocate the slices for CAM optimization.

Allocating FP Blocks for VLAN Processes The VLAN ContentAware Processor (VCAP) application is a preingress CAP that modifies the VLAN settings before packets are forwarded. To support the ACL CAM optimization functionality, the CAM carving feature is enhanced. A total of four VACP groups are present, of which two are for fixed groups and the other two are for dynamic groups. Out of the total of two dynamic groups, you can allocate zero, one, or two FP blocks to iSCSI Counters, OpenFlow and ACL Optimization.
7 Access Control Lists (ACLs) This chapter describes access control lists (ACLs), prefix lists, and route-maps. At their simplest, ACLs, prefix lists, and route-maps permit or deny traffic based on MAC and/or IP addresses. This chapter describes implementing IP ACLs, IP prefix lists and route-maps. For MAC ACLS, refer to Layer 2.

This is applicable to the following features: • • L2 Ingress Access list L2 Egress Access list In the Dell EMC Networking OS versions prior to 9.13(0.0), the system does not install any of your ACL rules if the available CAM space is lesser than what is required for your set of ACL rules.

• If a packet's FO = 0, the next ACL entry is processed. Deny ACL line with L3 information only, and the fragments keyword is present: If a packet's L3 information does match the L3 information in the ACL line, the packet's FO is checked. • • If a packet's FO > 0, the packet is denied. If a packet's FO = 0, the next ACL line is processed. Example of Layer 4 ACL Rules Example of TCP Packets In this first example, fragments or non-fragmented TCP packets from 10.1.1.

In the example, filter 25 was configured before filter 15, but the show config command displays the filters in the correct order.
seq 50 permit tcp 10.8.0.0 /16 10.50.188.118 /31 eq 49 seq 55 permit udp 10.15.1.0 /24 10.50.188.118 /31 range 1812 1813 To delete a filter, enter the show config command in IP ACCESS LIST mode and locate the sequence number of the filter you want to delete. Then use the no seq sequence-number command in IP ACCESS LIST mode.
{deny | permit} tcp {source mask] | any | host ip-address}} [count [byte]] [order] [fragments] • Configure a deny or permit filter to examine UDP packets. CONFIG-EXT-NACL mode {deny | permit} udp {source mask | any | host ip-address}} [count [byte]] [order] [fragments] The following example shows an extended IP ACL in which the sequence numbers were assigned by the software.
L2 ACL Behavior L3 ACL Behavior Decision on Targeted Traffic Permit Permit L3 ACL permits. NOTE: If you configure an interface as a vlan-stack access port, only the L2 ACL filters the packets. The L3 ACL applied to such a port does not affect traffic. That is, existing rules for other features (such as trace-list, policy-based routing [PBR], and QoS) are applied to the permitted traffic. For information about MAC ACLs, refer to Layer 2.
To filter traffic on Telnet sessions, use only standard ACLs in the access-class command. Counting ACL Hits You can view the number of packets matching the ACL by using the count option when creating ACL entries. You can configure either count (packets) or count (bytes). However, for an ACL with multiple rules, you can configure some ACLs with count (packets) and others as count (bytes) at any given time. 1 Create an ACL that uses rules with the count option. Refer to Configuring a Standard IP ACL Filter.
To restrict egress traffic, use an egress ACL. For example, when a direct operating system (DOS) attack traffic is isolated to a specific interface, you can apply an egress ACL to block the flow from the exiting the box, thus protecting downstream devices. To create an egress ACL, use the ip access-group command in EXEC Privilege mode. The example shows viewing the configuration, applying rules to the newly created access group, and viewing the access list.
(if configured) is applied. When the route prefix matches a filter, the system drops or forwards the packet based on the filter’s designated action. If the route prefix does not match any of the filters in the prefix list, the route is dropped (that is, implicit deny). A route prefix is an IP address pattern that matches on bits within the IP address. The format of a route prefix is A.B.C.D/X where A.B.C.
The optional parameters are: • ge min-prefix-length: the minimum prefix length to match (from 0 to 32). • le max-prefix-length: the maximum prefix length to match (from 0 to 32). Example of Assigning Sequence Numbers to Filters If you want to forward all routes that do not match the prefix list criteria, configure a prefix list filter to permit all routes (permit 0.0.0.0/0 le 32). The “permit all” filter must be the last filter in your prefix list. To permit the default route only, enter permit 0.0.0.
seq 10 deny 133.0.0.0/8 Dell(conf-nprefixl)# To delete a filter, enter the show config command in PREFIX LIST mode and locate the sequence number of the filter you want to delete, then use the no seq sequence-number command in PREFIX LIST mode. Viewing Prefix Lists To view all configured prefix lists, use the following commands. • Show detailed information about configured prefix lists.
• distribute-list prefix-list-name in [interface] Apply a configured prefix list to outgoing routes. You can specify an interface or type of route. If you enter the name of a non-existent prefix list, all routes are forwarded.
with the same sequence number and different strings, the second one replaces the first string. You cannot configure two or more remarks with the same string and different sequence numbers. To remove a remark, use the no remark command with the remark string and with or without the sequence number. If there is a matching string, the system deletes the remark. Configuring a Remark To write a remark for an ACL, follow these steps: 1 Create either an extended IPv4 or IPv6 ACL.
Dell(config-ext-nacl)# seq 10 permit ip any any Dell(config-ext-nacl)#sh config ! ip access-list extended test remark 10 permit any ip seq 10 permit ip any any Dell(config-ext-nacl)#no remark 10 Dell(config-ext-nacl)#show config ! ip access-list extended test seq 10 permit ip any any ACL Resequencing ACL resequencing allows you to re-number the rules and remarks in an access or prefix list. The placement of rules within the list is critical because packets are matched against rules in sequential order.
Example of Resequencing ACLs When Remarks and Rules Have the Same Number Example of Resequencing ACLs When Remarks and Rules Have Different Numbers The example shows the resequencing of an IPv4 access-list beginning with the number 2 and incrementing by 2. Remarks and rules that originally have the same sequence number have the same sequence number after you apply the resequence command.
Route Maps Similar to ACLs and prefix lists, route maps are composed of a series of commands that contain a matching criterion and an action; however, route maps can change the packets meeting the criterion. ACLs and prefix lists can only drop or forward the packet or traffic. Route maps process routes for route redistribution. For example, a route map can be called to filter only specific routes and to add a metric. Route maps also have an “implicit deny.
The optional seq keyword allows you to assign a sequence number to the route map instance. Example of Viewing a Configured Route Map Example of Multiple Instances of a Route-Map Example of Deleting One Instance of a Route Map Example of Viewing All Instances of a Specified Route Map The default action is permit and the default sequence number starts at 10. When you use the keyword deny in configuring a route map, routes that meet the match filters are not redistributed.
Configure Route Map Filters Within ROUTE-MAP mode, there are match and set commands. • match commands search for a certain criterion in the routes. • set commands change the characteristics of routes, either adding something or specifying a level. When there are multiple match commands with the same parameter under one instance of route-map, the system does a match between all of those match commands.
• – For a VLAN, enter the keyword vlan then a number from 1 to 4094. Match destination routes specified in a prefix list (IPv4). CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP mode match ip address prefix-list-name • Match next-hop routes specified in a prefix list (IPv4). CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP mode match ip next-hop {access-list-name | prefix-list prefix-list-name} • Match source routes specified in a prefix list (IPv4).
CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP mode set tag tag-value To create route map instances, use these commands. There is no limit to the number of set commands per route map, but the convention is to keep the number of set filters in a route map low. Set commands do not require a corresponding match command. Configure a Route Map for Route Redistribution Route maps on their own cannot affect traffic and must be included in different commands to affect routing traffic.
Continue Clause Normally, when a match is found, set clauses are executed, and the packet is then forwarded; no more route-map modules are processed. If you configure the continue command at the end of a module, the next module (or a specified module) is processed even after a match is found. The following example shows a continue clause at the end of a route-map module. In this example, if a match is found in the route-map “test” module 10, module 30 is processed.
because the threshold has exceeded, the count of packets that exceeded the logging threshold value during that interval is recorded when the subsequent log record (in the next interval) is generated for that ACL entry.
seq sequence-number {deny | permit} {source [mask] | any | host ip-address} [log [interval minutes]] Flow-Based Monitoring Support for ACLs Flow-based monitoring conserves bandwidth by monitoring only the specified traffic instead of all traffic on the interface. It is available for Layer 2 and Layer 3 ingress traffic. You can specify traffic using standard or extended access-lists. This feature copies all incoming packets on one port and forwards (mirrors) them to another port.
The show monitor session session-id command has been enhanced to display the Type field in the output, which indicates whether a particular session is enabled for flow-monitoring. Example Output of the show Command #show running-config monitor session ! monitor session 11 flow-based enable source GigabitEthernet 13/0 destination GigabitEthernet 13/1 direction both The show running-config monitor session command displays whether flow-based monitoring is enabled for a particular session.

INTERFACE mode ip access-group access-list Example of the flow-based enable Command To view an access-list that you applied to an interface, use the show ip accounting access-list command from EXEC Privilege mode.
8 Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) Bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) is a protocol that is used to rapidly detect communication failures between two adjacent systems. It is a simple and lightweight replacement for existing routing protocol link state detection mechanisms. It also provides a failure detection solution for links on which no routing protocol is used. BFD is a simple hello mechanism. Two neighboring systems running BFD establish a session using a three-way handshake.
not be received if the link or receiving interface is faulty). The BFD manager notifies the routing protocols that are registered with it (clients) that the forwarding path is down and a link state change is triggered in all protocols. NOTE: A session state change from Up to Down is the only state change that triggers a link state change in the routing protocol client. BFD Packet Format Control packets are encapsulated in user datagram protocol (UDP) packets.
Field Description NOTE: The Dell Networking OS does not currently support multi-point sessions, Demand mode, authentication, or control plane independence; these bits are always clear. Detection Multiplier The number of packets that must be missed in order to declare a session down. Length The entire length of the BFD packet. My Discriminator A random number generated by the local system to identify the session.
Demand mode If one system requests Demand mode, the other system stops sending periodic control packets; it only sends a response to status inquiries from the Demand mode initiator. Either system (but not both) can request Demand mode at any time. NOTE: The Dell Networking OS supports Asynchronous mode only. A session can have four states: Administratively Down, Down, Init, and Up. Administratively Down The local system does not participate in a particular session.
Figure 9.
Session State Changes The following illustration shows how the session state on a system changes based on the status notification it receives from the remote system. For example, if a session on a system is down and it receives a Down status notification from the remote system, the session state on the local system changes to Init. Figure 10. Session State Changes Important Points to Remember • BFD for line card ports is hitless, but is not hitless for VLANs because they are instantiated on the RPM.
• Configure BFD for Port-Channels • Configure BFD for Static Routes • Configure BFD for OSPF • Configure BFD for OSPFv3 • Configure BFD for BGP • Configure BFD for VRRP • Configure BFD for VLANs • Configuring Protocol Liveness Configure BFD for Physical Ports BFD on physical ports is useful when you do not enable the routing protocol. Without BFD, if the remote system fails, the local system does not remove the connected route until the first failed attempt to send a packet.
Changing Physical Port Session Parameters Configure BFD sessions with default intervals and a default role (active). The parameters that you can configure are: Desired TX Interval, Required Min RX Interval, Detection Multiplier, and system role. Configure these parameters per interface; if you change a parameter, the change affects all physical port sessions on that interface. NOTE: Dell Networking recommends maintaining the default values. Change session parameters for all sessions on an interface.

• When a destination prefix is deleted from the prefix-list using the no permit option, the corresponding BFD session is torn down immediately. In this scenario, the BFD session tear down occurs only if the other destination prefixes in the prefix-list are not pointing to the same neighbor. • The permit option enables creation of a BFD session for the specified static destination prefix or prefix range.

9 Border Gateway Protocol IPv4 (BGPv4) This chapter provides a general description of BGPv4 as it is supported in the Dell Networking operating system. BGP protocol standards are listed in the Standards Compliance chapter. BGP is an external gateway protocol that transmits interdomain routing information within and between autonomous systems (AS). The primary function of the BGP is to exchange network reachability information with other BGP systems.
Figure 17. Interior BGP BGP version 4 (BGPv4) supports classless interdomain routing and aggregate routes and AS paths. BGP is a path vector protocol — a computer network in which BGP maintains the path that updated information takes as it diffuses through the network. Updates traveling through the network and returning to the same node are easily detected and discarded.
Figure 18. BGP Routers in Full Mesh The number of BGP speakers each BGP peer must maintain increases exponentially. Network management quickly becomes impossible. Sessions and Peers When two routers communicate using the BGP protocol, a BGP session is started. The two end-points of that session are Peers. A Peer is also called a Neighbor. Establish a Session Information exchange between peers is driven by events and timers. The focus in BGP is on the traffic routing policies.
State Description Idle BGP initializes all resources, refuses all inbound BGP connection attempts, and initiates a TCP connection to the peer. Connect In this state the router waits for the TCP connection to complete, transitioning to the OpenSent state if successful. If that transition is not successful, BGP resets the ConnectRetry timer and transitions to the Active state when the timer expires. Active The router resets the ConnectRetry timer to zero and returns to the Connect state.
Figure 19. BGP Router Rules 1 Router B receives an advertisement from Router A through eBGP. Because the route is learned through eBGP, Router B advertises it to all its iBGP peers: Routers C and D. 2 Router C receives the advertisement but does not advertise it to any peer because its only other peer is Router D, an iBGP peer, and Router D has already learned it through iBGP from Router B.
received from the neighbors because MED may or may not get compared between the adjacent paths. In deterministic mode, the system compares MED between the adjacent paths within an AS group because all paths in the AS group are from the same AS. NOTE: In the Dell Networking OS version 8.3.11.4, the bgp bestpath as-path multipath-relax command is disabled by default, preventing BGP from load-balancing a learned route across two or more eBGP peers.
8 Prefer the path with the lowest IGP metric to the BGP if next-hop is selected when synchronization is disabled and only an internal path remains. 9 The system deems the paths as equal and does not perform steps 9 through 11, if the following criteria is met: 10 a the IBGP multipath or EBGP multipath are configured (the maximum-path command). b the paths being compared were received from the same AS with the same number of ASs in the AS Path but with different NextHops.
Figure 21. BGP Local Preference Multi-Exit Discriminators (MEDs) If two ASs connect in more than one place, a multi-exit discriminator (MED) can be used to assign a preference to a preferred path. MED is one of the criteria used to determine the best path, so keep in mind that other criteria may impact selection, as shown in the illustration in Best Path Selection Criteria. One AS assigns the MED a value and the other AS uses that value to decide the preferred path.
Figure 22. Multi-Exit Discriminators NOTE: With the Dell Networking OS version 8.3.1.0, configuring the set metric-type internal command in a route-map advertises the IGP cost as MED to outbound EBGP peers when redistributing routes. The configured set metric value overwrites the default IGP cost. Origin The origin indicates the origin of the prefix, or how the prefix came into BGP. There are three origin codes: IGP, EGP, INCOMPLETE.
AS Path The AS path is the list of all ASs that all the prefixes listed in the update have passed through. The local AS number is added by the BGP speaker when advertising to a eBGP neighbor. The AS path is shown in the following example. The origin attribute is shown following the AS path information (shown in bold).
Implement BGP with the Dell Networking OS The following sections describe how to implement BGP on the Dell Networking OS. Additional Path (Add-Path) Support The add-path feature reduces convergence times by advertising multiple paths to its peers for the same address prefix without replacing existing paths with new ones. By default, a BGP speaker advertises only the best path to its peers for a given address prefix.
Ignore Router-ID for Some Best-Path Calculations The Dell Networking OS version 8.3.1.0 and later allows you to avoid unnecessary BGP best-path transitions between external paths under certain conditions. The bgp bestpath router-id ignore command reduces network disruption caused by routing and forwarding plane changes and allows for faster convergence. Four-Byte AS Numbers The Dell Networking OS version 7.7.1 and later supports 4-Byte (32-bit) format when configuring autonomous system numbers (ASNs).
• AS Numbers larger than 65535 is represented using ASDOT notation as .. For example: AS 65546 is represented as 1.10. ASDOT representation combines the ASPLAIN and ASDOT+ representations. AS numbers less than 65536 appear in integer format (asplain); AS numbers equal to or greater than 65536 appear in the decimal format (asdot+). For example, the AS number 65526 appears as 65526 and the AS number 65546 appears as 1.10.

Router B has an inbound route-map applied on Router C to prepend "65001 65002" to the as-path, the following events take place on Router B: 1 Receive and validate the update. 2 Prepend local-as 200 to as-path. 3 Prepend "65001 65002" to as-path. Local-AS is prepended before the route-map to give an impression that update passed through a router in AS 200 before it reached Router B.
• To return all values on an snmpwalk for the f10BgpM2Peer sub-OID, use the -C c option, such as snmpwalk -v 2c -C c -c public. • An SNMP walk may terminate pre-maturely if the index does not increment lexicographically. Dell Networking recommends using options to ignore such errors. • Multiple BPG process instances are not supported. Thus, the f10BgpM2PeerInstance field in various tables is not used to locate a peer.

You cannot disable 4-Byte support if you currently have a 4-Byte ASN configured. b Disabling 4-Byte AS numbers also disables ASDOT and ASDOT+ number representation. All AS numbers are displayed in ASPLAIN format.

To view the configuration, use the show config command in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode. When you create a peer group, it is disabled (shutdown). The following example shows the creation of a peer group (zanzibar) (in bold).

Configuring BGP Fast Fail-Over By default, a BGP session is governed by the hold time. BGP routers typically carry large routing tables, so frequent session resets are not desirable. The BGP fast fail-over feature reduces the convergence time while maintaining stability. The connection to a BGP peer is immediately reset if a link to a directly connected external peer fails. When you enable fail-over, BGP tracks IP reachability to the peer remote address and the peer local address.
To verify that fast fail-over is enabled on a peer-group, use the show ip bgp peer-group command (shown in bold). Dell#sh ip bgp peer-group Peer-group test fail-over enabled BGP version 4 Minimum time between advertisement runs is 5 seconds For address family: IPv4 Unicast BGP neighbor is test Number of peers in this group 1 Peer-group members (* - outbound optimized): 100.100.100.
Maintaining Existing AS Numbers During an AS Migration The local-as feature smooths out the BGP network migration operation and allows you to maintain existing ASNs during a BGP network migration. When you complete your migration, be sure to reconfigure your routers with the new information and disable this feature. • Allow external routes from this neighbor.

• Enable graceful restart for the BGP node. CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode bgp graceful-restart • Set maximum restart time for all peers. CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode bgp graceful-restart [restart-time time-in-seconds] • The default is 120 seconds. Set maximum time to retain the restarting peer’s stale paths. CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode bgp graceful-restart [stale-path-time time-in-seconds] • The default is 360 seconds. Local router supports graceful restart as a receiver only.
5 Use a configured AS-PATH ACL for route filtering and manipulation. CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} filter-list as-path-name {in | out} If you assign an non-existent or empty AS-PATH ACL, the software allows all routes. Example of the show ip bgp paths Command To view all BGP path attributes in the BGP database, use the show ip bgp paths command in EXEC Privilege mode.
Regular Expression Definition ( ) (parenthesis) Specifies patterns for multiple use when one of the multiplier metacharacters follows: asterisk *, plus sign +, or question mark ?

ROUTER BGP or CONF-ROUTER_BGPv6_ AF mode redistribute isis [level-1 | level-1-2 | level-2] [metric value] [route-map map-name] Configure the following parameters: – level-1, level-1-2, or level-2: Assign all redistributed routes to a level. The default is level-2. – metric value: The value is from 0 to 16777215. The default is 0.
Configuring IP Community Lists Within the Dell Networking OS, you have multiple methods of manipulating routing attributes. One attribute you can manipulate is the COMMUNITY attribute. This attribute is an optional attribute that is defined for a group of destinations. You can assign a COMMUNITY attribute to BGP routers by using an IP community list. After you create an IP community list, you can apply routing decisions to all routers meeting the criteria in the IP community list.
Configuring an IP Extended Community List To configure an IP extended community list, use these commands. 1 Create a extended community list and enter the EXTCOMMUNITY-LIST mode. CONFIGURATION mode ip extcommunity-list extcommunity-list-name 2 Two types of extended communities are supported.

– missing-as-best: Treat a path missing an MED as the most preferred one. To view the nondefault values, use the show config command in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode. Changing the LOCAL_PREFERENCE Attribute In the Dell Networking OS, you can change the value of the LOCAL_PREFERENCE attribute. To change the default values of this attribute for all routes received by the router, use the following command. • Change the LOCAL_PREF value.
• Disable next hop processing and configure the router as the next hop for a BGP neighbor. CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} next-hop-self • Sets the next hop address. CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP mode set next-hop ip-address Changing the WEIGHT Attribute To change how the WEIGHT attribute is used, enter the first command. You can also use route maps to change this and other BGP attributes. For example, you can include the second command in a route map to specify the next hop address.
NOTE: With the Dell Networking OS, you can create inbound and outbound policies. Each of the commands used for filtering has in and out parameters that you must apply. In the system, the order of preference varies depending on whether the attributes are applied for inbound updates or outbound updates.
• After a route matches a filter, the filter’s action is applied. No additional filters are applied to the route. To view the BGP configuration, use the show config command in ROUTER BGP mode. To view a prefix list configuration, use the show ip prefix-list detail or show ip prefix-list summary commands in EXEC Privilege mode. Filtering BGP Routes Using Route Maps To filter routes using a route map, use these commands. 1 Create a route map and assign it a name.
exit 4 Enter ROUTER BGP mode. CONFIGURATION mode router bgp as-number 5 Filter routes based on the criteria in the configured route map. CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} filter-list as-path-name {in | out} Configure the following parameters: • ip-address or peer-group-name: enter the neighbor’s IP address or the peer group’s name. • as-path-name: enter the name of a configured AS-PATH ACL. • in: apply the AS-PATH ACL map to inbound routes.
• Assign the IP address and mask of the prefix to be aggregated. CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode aggregate-address ip-address mask [advertise-map map-name] [as-set] [attribute-map map-name] [summary-only] [suppress-map map-name] Example of Viewing Aggregated Routes In the show ip bgp command, aggregates contain an ‘a’ in the first column (shown in bold) and routes suppressed by the aggregate contain an ‘s’ in the first column. Dell#show ip bgp BGP table version is 0, local router ID is 10.101.15.
advertised, even if the route is up. In Dell, that penalty value is 1024. As time passes and the route does not flap, the penalty value decrements or is decayed. However, if the route flaps again, it is assigned another penalty.
show ip bgp flap-statistics [ip-address [mask]] [filter-list as-path-name] [regexp regularexpression] – ip-address [mask]: enter the IP address and mask. – filter-list as-path-name: enter the name of an AS-PATH ACL. – regexp regular-expression: enter a regular express to match on. • By default, the path selection in Dell is deterministic, that is, paths are compared irrespective of the order of their arrival.
Changing BGP Timers To configure BGP timers, use either or both of the following commands. Timer values configured with the neighbor timers command override the timer values configured with the timers bgp command.
• Configure idle-holdtime values for all BGP neighbors. CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode timers bgp extended idle holdtime idle-holdtime: the range is from 1 to 32767. Time interval, in seconds, during which the peer remains in idle state. The default is 15 seconds. Enabling BGP Neighbor Soft-Reconfiguration BGP soft-reconfiguration allows for faster and easier route changing. Changing routing policies typically requires a reset of BGP sessions (the TCP connection) for the policies to take effect.
Example of Soft-Reconfigration of a BGP Neighbor The example enables inbound soft reconfiguration for the neighbor 10.108.1.1. All updates received from this neighbor are stored unmodified, regardless of the inbound policy. When inbound soft reconfiguration is done later, the stored information is used to generate a new set of inbound updates. Dell>router bgp 100 neighbor 10.108.1.1 remote-as 200 neighbor 10.108.1.
When you configure BGP, you must explicitly enable the BGP neighbors using the following commands: neighbor {ip-address | peer-group name} remote-as as-number neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} no shutdown For more information on enabling BGP, see Enabling BGP. When you use the shutdown all command in global configuration mode, this command takes precedence over the shutdown address-family-ipv4-unicast, shutdown address-family-ipv4-multicast, and shutdown address-familyipv6-unicast commands.
Enabling MBGP Configurations Multiprotocol BGP (MBGP) is an enhanced BGP that carries IP multicast routes. BGP carries two sets of routes: one set for unicast routing and one set for multicast routing. The routes associated with multicast routing are used by the protocol independent multicast (PIM) to build data distribution trees. The Dell Networking OS MBGP is implemented per RFC 1858. You can enable the MBGP feature per router and/or per peer/peer-group. The default is IPv4 Unicast routes.
To enable BGP to pick the next hop IPv6 address automatically for IPv6 prefix advertised over an IPv4 neighbor, use the following commands. • Enable the system to pick the next hop IPv6 address dynamically for IPv6 prefix advertised over an IPv4 neighbor. ROUTER-BGP mode mode neighbor {ip–address | peer-group-name} auto-local-address Enter either the neighbor IP address or the name of the peer group. NOTE: If outbound policy is applied along with auto-local-address enabled, then policy takes precedence.

EXEC Privilege mode debug ip bgp {ip-address | peer-group-name} soft-reconfiguration In-BGP is shown using the show ip protocols command. The system displays debug messages on the console. To view which debugging commands are enabled, use the show debugging command in EXEC Privilege mode. To disable a specific debug command, use the keyword no then the debug command.
PDU Counters The Dell Networking OS version 7.5.1.0 introduces additional counters for various types of PDUs sent and received from neighbors. These are seen in the output of the show ip bgp neighbor command. Sample Configurations The following example configurations show how to enable BGP and set up some peer groups. These examples are not comprehensive directions. They are intended to give you some guidance with typical configurations.

10 Content Addressable Memory (CAM) Content addressable memory (CAM) is a type of memory that stores information in the form of a lookup table. On Dell Networking systems, CAM stores Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding information, access-lists (ACLs), flows, and routing policies.
You must save the new CAM settings to the startup-config (write-mem or copy run start) then reload the system for the new settings to take effect. 1 Select a cam-acl action. CONFIGURATION mode cam-acl [default | l2acl] NOTE: Selecting default resets the CAM entries to the default settings. Select l2acl to allocate space for the ACLs and QoS regions. 2 Enter the number of FP blocks for each region.

• Re-configure the CAM threshold • Add or delete an ACL rule Example of Syslog message on CAM usage Following table shows few possible scenarios during which the syslog message appear on re-configuring the CAM usage threshold value. Consider if the last CAM threshold was set to 90 percent and now you re-configure the CAM threshold to 80. And, if the current CAM usage is 85 percent, then the system displays the syslog message saying that the CAM usage is above the configured CAM threshold value. Table 9.
11 Control Plane Policing (CoPP) Dell Networking OS supports control plane policing (CoPP). CoPP uses access control list (ACL) rules and quality of service (QoS) policies to create filters for a system’s control plane. That filter prevents traffic not specifically identified as legitimate from reaching the system control plane, rate-limits, traffic to an acceptable level.
Figure 27. CoPP Implemented Versus CoPP Not Implemented Configure Control Plane Policing The switch can process maximum of 4200 PPS (packets per second). Protocols that share a single queue may experience flaps if one of the protocols receives a high rate of control traffic even though Per Protocol CoPP is applied. This happens because Queue-Based Rate Limiting is applies first.
Configuring CoPP for Protocols This section lists the commands necessary to create and enable the service-policies for CoPP. For complete information about creating ACLs and QoS rules, refer to Access Control Lists (ACLs) and Quality of Service (QoS). The basics for creating a CoPP service policy are to create a Layer 2, Layer 3, and/or an IPv6 ACL rule for the desired protocol type. Then, create a QoS input policy to rate-limit the protocol traffics according to the ACL.

12 Data Center Bridging (DCB) Data center bridging (DCB) is supported on the FC Flex IO module installed in the FN IOM.
Storage traffic Storage traffic based on Fibre Channel media uses the SCSI protocol for data transfer. This traffic typically consists of large data packets with a payload of 2K bytes that cannot recover from frame loss. To successfully transport storage traffic, data center Ethernet must provide no-drop service with lossless links. InterProcess Communication (IPC) traffic InterProcess Communication (IPC) traffic within high-performance computing clusters to share information.
– If the negotiation succeeds and the port is in DCBX Willing mode to receive a peer configuration, PFC parameters from the peer are used to configured PFC priorities on the port. If you enable the link-level flow control mechanism on the interface, DCBX negotiation with a peer is not performed. – If the negotiation fails and PFC is enabled on the port, any user-configured PFC input policies are applied.
Table 10. ETS Traffic Groupings Traffic Groupings Description Priority group A group of 802.1p priorities used for bandwidth allocation and queue scheduling. All 802.1p priority traffic in a group must have the same traffic handling requirements for latency and frame loss. Group ID A 4-bit identifier assigned to each priority group. The range is from 0 to 7. Group bandwidth Percentage of available bandwidth allocated to a priority group.
Data Center Bridging in a Traffic Flow The following figure shows how DCB handles a traffic flow on an interface. Figure 30. DCB PFC and ETS Traffic Handling Enabling Data Center Bridging Data center bridging is enabled by default on an FN IOM to support converged enhanced Ethernet (CEE) in a data center network.
CONFIGURATION mode dcb enable NOTE: Dell Networking OS Behavior: DCB is not supported if you enable link-level flow control on one or more interfaces. After you disable DCB, if link-level flow control is not automatically enabled on an interface, to enable flow control, manually shut down the interface (the shutdown command) and re-enable it (the no shutdown command).
Important Points to Remember • If you remove a dot1p priority-to-priority group mapping from a DCB map (no priority pgid command), the PFC and ETS parameters revert to their default values on the interfaces on which the DCB map is applied. By default, PFC is not applied on specific 802.1p priorities; ETS assigns equal bandwidth to each 802.1p priority. As a result, PFC and lossless port queues are disabled on 802.
INTERFACE mode pfc priority priority-range You cannot configure PFC using the pfc priority command on an interface on which a DCB map has been applied or which is already configured for lossless queues (pfc no-drop queues command). Configuring Lossless Queues DCB also supports the manual configuration of lossless queues on an interface after you disable PFC mode in a DCB map and apply the map on the interface.
pfc no-drop queuesqueue-range Data Center Bridging: Default Configuration Before you configure PFC and ETS on a switch see the priority group setting taken into account the following default settings: DCB is enabled. PFC and ETS are globally enabled by default. The default dot1p priority-queue assignments are applied as follows: NOTE: In Dell Networking OS we support 8 data queues in S4048, S6000, Z9500 and 4 data queues in S3048, S4810. S4820T and, S5000. PFC is not applied on specific dot1p priorities.
PFC available buffer ( in KB): 5694--Indicates remaining available buffers for PFC that are free to be allocated Configuring Priority-Based Flow Control PFC provides a flow control mechanism based on the 802.1p priorities in converged Ethernet traffic received on an interface and is enabled by default when you enable DCB.
Configuring Lossless Queues DCB also supports the manual configuration of lossless queues on an interface when PFC mode is turned off and priority classes are disabled in a DCB map, apply the map on the interface. Prerequisite: A DCB input policy with PFC configuration is applied to the interface with the following conditions: • PFC mode is off (no pfc mode on). • No PFC priority classes are configured (no pfc priority priority-range).
NOTE: Dell Networking OS Behavior: By default, no lossless queues are configured on a port. A limit of two lossless queues is supported on a port. If the amount of priority traffic that you configure to be paused exceeds the two lossless queues, an error message displays. Reconfigure the input policy using a smaller number of PFC priorities. If you configure lossless queues on an interface that already has a DCB input policy with PFC enabled (pfc mode on), an error message displays.
Pause and Resume of Traffic The pause message is used by the sending device to inform the receiving device about a congested, heavily-loaded traffic state that has been identified. When the interface of a sending device transmits a pause frame, the recipient acknowledges this frame by temporarily halting the transmission of data packets. The sending device requests the recipient to restart the transmission of data traffic when the congestion eases and reduces.
Configure Enhanced Transmission Selection ETS provides a way to optimize bandwidth allocation to outbound 802.1p classes of converged Ethernet traffic. Different traffic types have different service needs. Using ETS, you can create groups within an 802.1p priority class to configure different treatment for traffic with different bandwidth, latency, and best-effort needs. For example, storage traffic is sensitive to frame loss; interprocess communication (IPC) traffic is latency-sensitive.
Committed and peak burst size is in kilobytes. Default is 50. The range is from 0 to 10000. 3 Configure the 802.1p priorities for the traffic on which you want to apply an ETS output policy. PRIORITY-GROUP mode priority-list value The range is from 0 to 7. The default is none. Separate priority values with a comma. Specify a priority range with a dash. For example, priority-list 3,5-7. 4 Exit priority-group configuration mode.
If you configure only the priority group in an ETS output policy or only the dot1p priority for strict-priority scheduling, the flow is handled with group strict priority. Configuring Bandwidth Allocation for DCBx CIN After you apply an ETS output policy to an interface, if the DCBx version used in your data center network is CIN, you may need to configure a QoS output policy to overwrite the default CIN bandwidth allocation.
Hierarchical Scheduling in ETS Output Policies ETS supports up to three levels of hierarchical scheduling. For example, you can apply ETS output policies with the following configurations: Priority group 1 Assigns traffic to one priority queue with 20% of the link bandwidth and strict-priority scheduling. Priority group 2 Assigns traffic to one priority queue with 30% of the link bandwidth.
Using PFC and ETS to Manage Data Center Traffic The following shows examples of using PFC and ETS to manage your data center traffic. In the following example: • Incoming SAN traffic is configured for priority-based flow control. • Outbound LAN, IPC, and SAN traffic is mapped into three ETS priority groups and configured for enhanced traffic selection (bandwidth allocation and scheduling). • One lossless queue is used. Figure 31.

Using PFC and ETS to Manage Converged Ethernet Traffic in a Switch Stack The following example shows how to apply the DCB PFC input policy (ipc_san_lan) and ETS output policy (ets) on all FN IOM switches in a switch stack. This example references the PFC and ETS Configuration Examples section.
DCBx Port Roles To enable the auto-configuration of DCBx-enabled ports and propagate DCB configurations learned from peer DCBx devices internally to other switch ports, use the following DCBx port roles. Auto-upstream The port advertises its own configuration to DCBx peers and receives its configuration from DCBX peers (ToR or FCF device). The port also propagates its configuration to other ports on the switch.
On a DCBX port that is the configuration source, all PFC and application priority TLVs are enabled. ETS recommend TLVs are disabled and ETS configuration TLVs are enabled. Manual The port is configured to operate only with administrator-configured settings and does not auto-configure with DCB settings received from a DCBx peer or from an internally propagated configuration from the configuration source.
– No other port is the configuration source. – The port role is auto-upstream. – The port is enabled with link up and DCBx enabled. – The port has performed a DCBx exchange with a DCBx peer. – The switch is capable of supporting the received DCB configuration values through either a symmetric or asymmetric parameter exchange. A newly elected configuration source propagates configuration changes received from a peer to the other auto-configuration ports.
DCBx Example The following figure shows how DCBX is used on an FN IOM Switch installed in a PowerEdge M1000e chassis in which servers are also installed. The external 40GbE ports on the base module (ports 33 and 37) of two switches are used for uplinks configured as DCBx auto-upstream ports. The FN IOM switch is connected to third-party, top-of-rack (ToR) switches through 40GbE uplinks. The ToR switches are part of a Fibre Channel storage network.
DCBx Prerequisites and Restrictions The following prerequisites and restrictions apply when you configure DCBx operation on a port: • For DCBx, on a port interface, enable LLDP in both Send (TX) and Receive (RX) mode (the protocol lldp mode command; refer to the example in CONFIGURATION versus INTERFACE Configurations in the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) chapter). If multiple DCBx peer ports are detected on a local DCBx interface, LLDP is shut down.
• manual: configures the port to operate only on administer-configured DCB parameters. The port does not accept a DCB configuration received from a peer or a local configuration source. The default is Manual. 5 On manual ports only: Configure the PFC and ETS TLVs advertised to DCBx peers. PROTOCOL LLDP mode [no] advertise DCBx-tlv {ets-conf | ets-reco | pfc} [ets-conf | ets-reco | pfc] [ets-conf | ets-reco | pfc] • ets-conf: enables the advertisement of ETS Configuration TLVs.
• auto: configures all ports to operate using the DCBx version received from a peer. • cee: configures a port to use CEE (Intel 1.01). cin configures a port to use Cisco-Intel-Nuova (DCBx 1.0). • ieee-v2.5: configures a port to use IEEE 802.1Qaz (Draft 2.5). The default is Auto. NOTE: To configure the DCBx port role the interfaces use to exchange DCB information, use the DCBx port-role command in INTERFACE Configuration mode (Step 3).
DCBx Error Messages The following syslog messages appear when an error in DCBx operation occurs. LLDP_MULTIPLE_PEER_DETECTED: DCBx is operationally disabled after detecting more than one DCBx peer on the port interface. LLDP_PEER_AGE_OUT: DCBx is disabled as a result of LLDP timing out on a DCBx peer interface. DSM_DCBx_PEER_VERSION_CONFLICT: A local port expected to receive the IEEE, CIN, or CEE version in a DCBx TLV from a remote peer but received a different, conflicting DCBx version.

A mini core dump contains critical information in the event of a crash. Mini core dump files are located in flash:/ (root dir). The application mini core filename format is f10StkUnit..acore.mini.txt. The kernel mini core filename format is f10StkUnit.kcore.mini.txt. The following are sample filenames. When a member or standby unit crashes, the mini core file gets uploaded to master unit.
The tcpdump command has a finite run process. When you enable the tcpdump command, it runs until the capture-duration timer and/or the packet-count counter threshold is met. If you do not set a threshold, the system uses a default of a 5 minute capture-duration and/or a single 1k file as the stopping point for the dump. You can use the capture-duration timer and the packet-count counter at the same time. The TCP dump stops when the first of the thresholds is met.

14 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) The dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) is an application layer protocol that dynamically assigns IP addresses and other configuration parameters to network end-stations (hosts) based on configuration policies determined by network administrators.
Option Number and Description Subnet Mask Option 1 Specifies the client’s subnet mask. Router Option 3 Specifies the router IP addresses that may serve as the client’s default gateway. Domain Name Server Option 6 Domain Name Option 15 Specifies the domain name servers (DNSs) that are available to the client. Specifies the domain name that clients should use when resolving hostnames via DNS.
Option Number and Description Signals the last option in the DHCP packet. Assign an IP Address using DHCP The following section describes DHCP and the client in a network. When a client joins a network: 1 The client initially broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER message on the subnet to discover available DHCP servers. This message includes the parameters that the client requires and might include suggested values for those parameters.
access list to the VLAN, the system displays the first line in the following message. If you first apply an ACL to a VLAN and then attempt enable IP source address validation on one of its member ports, the system displays the second line in the following message. % Error: Vlan member has access-list configured. % Error: Vlan has an access-list configured.
CONFIGURATION mode ip dhcp server 2 Create an address pool and give it a name. DHCP mode pool name 3 Specify the range of IP addresses from which the DHCP server may assign addresses. DHCP mode network network/prefix-length • network: the subnet address. • prefix-length: specifies the number of bits used for the network portion of the address you specify. The prefix-length range is from 17 to 31. 4 Display the current pool configuration.
Specifying an Address Lease Time To specify an address lease time, use the following command. • Specify an address lease time for the addresses in a pool. DHCP lease {days [hours] [minutes] | infinite} The default is 24 hours. Specifying a Default Gateway The IP address of the default router should be on the same subnet as the client. To specify a default gateway, follow this step. • Specify default gateway(s) for the clients on the subnet, in order of preference.
Figure 35. Enabling the DHCP Server Configure a Method of Hostname Resolution Dell systems are capable of providing DHCP clients with parameters for two methods of hostname resolution—using DNS or NetBIOS WINS. Using DNS for Address Resolution A domain is a group of networks. DHCP clients query DNS IP servers when they need to correlate host names to IP addresses. 1 Create a domain. DHCP domain-name name 2 Specify in order of preference the DNS servers that are available to a DHCP client.
Creating Manual Binding Entries An address binding is a mapping between the IP address and the media access control (MAC) address of a client. The DHCP server assigns the client an available IP address automatically, and then creates an entry in the binding table. However, the administrator can manually create an entry for a client; manual bindings are useful when you want to guarantee that a particular network device receives a particular IP address.
clear ip dhcp conflict • Clear DHCP server counters. EXEC Privilege mode. clear ip dhcp server statistics Configure the System to be a Relay Agent DHCP clients and servers request and offer configuration information via broadcast DHCP messages. Routers do not forward broadcasts, so if there are no DHCP servers on the subnet, the client does not receive a response to its request and therefore cannot access the network.
Figure 36. Configuring a Relay Agent To view the ip helper-address configuration for an interface, use the show ip interface command from EXEC privilege mode. Example of the show ip interface Command Dell#show ip int tengig 1/3 GigabitEthernet 1/3 is up, line protocol is down Internet address is 10.11.0.1/24 Broadcast address is 10.11.0.255 Address determined by user input IP MTU is 1500 bytes Helper address is 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.
Configure the System to be a DHCP Client A DHCP client is a network device that requests an IP address and configuration parameters from a DHCP server. Implement the DHCP client functionality as follows: • The switch can obtain a dynamically assigned IP address from a DHCP server. A start-up configuration is not received. Use bare metal provisioning (BMP) to receive configuration parameters (the Dell Networking OS version and a configuration file). BMP is enabled as a factory-default setting on a switch.
address, use the renew DHCP command in EXEC Privilege mode or the ip address dhcp command in INTERFACE Configuration mode. To manually configure a static IP address on an interface, use the ip address command. A prompt displays to release an existing dynamically acquired IP address. If you confirm, the ability to receive a DHCP server-assigned IP address is removed.
• To display log message on DHCP client interfaces for IP address acquisition, IP address release, IP address and lease time renewal, and release an IP address, use the [no] debug ip dhcp client events [interface type slot/port] command.

NOTE: Management routes added by the DHCP client include the specific routes to reach a DHCP server in a different subnet and the management route. DHCP Client Operation with Other Features The DHCP client operates with other Dell Networking OS features, as the following describes. Stacking The DHCP client daemon runs only on the master unit and handles all DHCP packet transactions. It periodically synchronizes the lease file with the standby unit.
Configuring DHCP relay source interface The following section explains how to configure global and interface level DHCP relay source IPv4 or IPv6 configuration to forward all the DHCP packets from the DHCP client to DHCP server through the configured source interface. This feature is applicable only for L3 interface with relay configuration and L3 DHCP snooping enabled VLANs. NOTE: The DHCP relay source interface configuration is supported in Full-Switch mode only.
• Specify the type of an interface and interface-number that should be used as a DHCP relay source interface at the interface level. INTERFACE mode {ip | ipv6} dhcp relay source-interface interface Example configuration of interface level DHCP relay source IPv4 or IPv6 interface Following are the steps to configure interface specific source IPv4 or IPv6 configuration for DHCP relay.
Configure Secure DHCP DHCP as defined by RFC 2131 provides no authentication or security mechanisms. Secure DHCP is a suite of features that protects networks that use dynamic address allocation from spoofing and attacks. • Option 82 • DHCP Snooping • Dynamic ARP Inspection • Source Address Validation Option 82 RFC 3046 (the relay agent information option, or Option 82) is used for class-based IP address assignment.
Default values: The default value of this option is the MAC address of the relay agent that adds Option 37. DHCP Snooping DHCP snooping is a feature that protects networks from spoofing. It acts as a firewall between the DHCP server and DHCP clients. DHCP snooping places the ports either in trusted or non-trusted mode. By default, all ports are set to the non-trusted mode. An attacker can not connect to the DHCP server through trusted ports.

Configuring the DHCP secondary-subnet DHCP Secondary subnet feature is an extended feature of DHCP relay agent. After enabling DHCP Relay Secondary Subnet, relay agent tries to get IP Address from secondary IP Address subnet pool, only when relay agent fails to get IP Address through primary IP Address. 1 To enable all the DHCP relay secondary — subnet interfaces.
Dynamic ARP Inspection Dynamic address resolution protocol (ARP) inspection prevents ARP spoofing by forwarding only ARP frames that have been validated against the DHCP binding table. ARP is a stateless protocol that provides no authentication mechanism. Network devices accept ARP requests and replies from any device. ARP replies are accepted even when no request was sent.
Configuring Dynamic ARP Inspection To enable dynamic ARP inspection, use the following commands. 1 Enable DHCP snooping. 2 Validate ARP frames against the DHCP snooping binding table. INTERFACE VLAN mode arp inspection Example of Viewing the ARP Database Example of Viewing ARP Packets To view entries in the ARP database, use the show arp inspection database command.
Examples of viewing the ARP inspection-limit information Bypassing the ARP Inspection You can configure a port to skip ARP inspection by defining the interface as trusted, which is useful in multi-switch environments. ARPs received on trusted ports bypass validation against the binding table. All ports are untrusted by default. To bypass the ARP inspection, use the following command. • Specify an interface as trusted so that ARPs are not validated against the binding table.
DHCP MAC Source Address Validation DHCP MAC source address validation (SAV) validates a DHCP packet’s source hardware address against the client hardware address field (CHADDR) in the payload. The Dell Networking OS version 8.2.1.1 ensures that the packet’s source MAC address is checked against the CHADDR field in the DHCP header only for packets from snooped VLANs. • Enable DHCP MAC SAV.
15 Equal Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) Dell Networking OS supports equal cost multi-path (ECMP). ECMP for Flow-Based Affinity Dell Networking OS supports ECMP for flow-based affinity. NOTE: IPv6 /128 routes having multiple paths do not form ECMPs. The /128 route is treated as a host entry and finds its place in the host table. NOTE: Using XOR algorithms results in imbalanced loads across an ECMP/LAG when the number of members in said ECMP/LAG is a multiple of 4.
NOTE: An ecmp-group index is generated automatically for each unique ecmp-group when you configure multipath routes to the same network. The system can generate a maximum of 512 unique ecmp-groups. The ecmp-group indexes are generated in even numbers (0, 2, 4, 6... 1022) and are for information only. To enable the link bundle monitoring feature, for link bundle monitoring with ECMP, use the ecmp-group command. You can configure the ecmp-group with id 2, enabled for link bundle monitoring.

When the flow-based hashing is enabled at all the nodes in the multi-tier network, traffic distribution is balanced at all tiers of the network nullifying the polarization effect. Traffic occurs by the randomness for the flow-based hashing algorithm across multiple nodes in a given network.
16 FC FPORT Dell Networking OS supports FC FPort on Combo port card.
FC FPORT FC FPort can be configured on ports 9 and 10 of Combo port card in Dell FX2 chassis. Configuring Switch Mode to FCF Port Mode To configure switch mode to Fabric services, use the following commands. 1 Configure Switch mode to FCF Port. CONFIGURATION mode feature fc fport domain id 2 NOTE: Enable remote-fault-signaling rx off command in FCF FPort mode on interfaces connected to the Compellent, MDF, and Equalogic storage devices.

FCOE MAP mode fabric-id fabric-num vlan vlan-id 4 Configure the FCoE mapped address prefix (FC-MAP) value which is used to identify FCoE traffic transmitted on the FCoE VLAN for the specified fabric.
FCoE Maps To identify the SAN fabric to which FCoE storage traffic is sent, use an FCoE map. Using an FCoE map, an NPG operates as an FCoE-FC bridge between an FC SAN and FCoE network by providing FCoE-enabled servers and switches with the necessary parameters to log in to a SAN fabric. An FCoE map applies the following parameters on server-facing Ethernet and fabric-facing FC ports: • • • • • The dedicated FCoE VLAN used to transport FCoE storage traffic.
For example: fabric id 10 vlan 10 3 Add a text description of the settings in the FCoE map. FCoE MAP mode description text The maximum is 32 characters. 4 Specify the FC-MAP value used to generate a fabric-provided MAC address, which is required to send FCoE traffic from a server on the FCoE VLAN to the FC fabric specified in Step 2. FCoE MAP mode fc-map fc-map-value You must enter a unique MAC address prefix as the FC-MAP value for each fabric. The range is from 0EFC00 to 0EFCFF. The default is none.

17 FCoE Transit Dell Networking OS supports the Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Transit feature. When you enable the switch for FCoE transit, the switch functions as a FIP snooping bridge. NOTE: FCoE transit is not supported on Fibre Channel interfaces.
FIP enables FCoE devices to discover one another, initialize and maintain virtual links over an Ethernet network, and access storage devices in a storage area network (SAN). FIP satisfies the Fibre Channel requirement for point-to-point connections by creating a unique virtual link for each connection between an FCoE end-device and an FCF via a transit switch. FIP provides functionality for discovering and logging into an FCF.
FIP Snooping on Ethernet Bridges In a converged Ethernet network, intermediate Ethernet bridges can snoop on FIP packets during the login process on an FCF. Then, using ACLs, a transit bridge can permit only authorized FCoE traffic to be transmitted between an FCoE end-device and an FCF. An Ethernet bridge that provides these functions is called a FIP snooping bridge (FSB). On a FIP snooping bridge, ACLs are created dynamically as FIP login frames are processed.
Figure 40. FIP Snooping on an FN IOM Switch The following sections describe how to configure the FIP snooping feature on a switch that functions as a FIP snooping bridge so that it can perform the following functions: • Perform FIP snooping (allowing and parsing FIP frames) globally on all VLANs or on a per-VLAN basis. • To assign a MAC address to an FCoE end-device (server ENode or storage device) after a server successfully logs in, set the FCoE MAC address prefix (FC-MAP) value an FCF uses.
• A switch stack configuration is synchronized with the standby stack unit. • Dynamic population of the FCoE database (ENode, Session, and FCF tables) is synchronized with the standby stack unit. The FCoE database is maintained by snooping FIP keep-alive messages. • In case of a failover, the new master switch starts the required timers for the FCoE database tables. Timers run only on the master stack unit.
• FIP frames are allowed to pass through the switch on the enabled VLANs and are processed to generate FIP snooping ACLs. • FCoE traffic is allowed on VLANs only after a successful virtual-link initialization (fabric login FLOGI) between an ENode and an FCF. All other FCoE traffic is dropped. • You must configure at least one interface for FCF (FIP snooping bridge-bridge) mode on a FIP snooping-enabled VLAN. You can configure multiple FCF trusted interfaces in a VLAN.
Impact Description Link aggregation group (LAG) FIP snooping is supported on port channels on ports on which PFC mode is on (PFC is operationally up). STP If you enable an STP protocol (STP, RSTP, PVSTP, or MSTP) on the switch and ports enter a blocking state, when the state change occurs, the corresponding port-based ACLs are deleted. If a port is enabled for FIP snooping in ENode or FCF mode, the ENode/FCF MAC-based ACLs are deleted.

The ToR switch operates as an FCF and FCoE gateway.
The DCBx configuration on the FCF-facing port is detected by the server-facing port and the DCB PFC configuration on both ports is synchronized. For more information about how to configure DCBx and PFC on a port, refer to the Data Center Bridging (DCB) chapter. The following example shows how to configure FIP snooping on FCoE VLAN 10, on an FCF-facing port (0/50), on an ENode server-facing port (0/1), and to configure the FIP snooping ports as tagged members of the FCoE VLAN enabled for FIP snooping.
18 FIPS Cryptography Dell Networking OS supports federal information processing standard (FIPS) cryptography. This chapter describes how to enable FIPS cryptography requirements on Dell Networking platforms. This feature provides cryptographic algorithms conforming to various FIPS standards published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a non-regulatory agency of the US Department of Commerce.
NOTE: Under certain unusual circumstances, it is possible for the fips enable command to indicate a failure. • This failure occurs if any of the self-tests fail when you enable FIPS mode. • This failure occurs if there were existing SSH/Telnet sessions that could not be closed successfully in a reasonable amount of time.

When you disable FIPS mode, the following changes occur: • The SSH server disables. • All open SSH and Telnet sessions, as well as all SCP and FTP file transfers, close. • Any existing host keys (both RSA and RSA1) are deleted from system memory and NVRAM storage. • FIPS mode disables.
19 Force10 Resilient Ring Protocol (FRRP) FRRP provides fast network convergence to Layer 2 switches interconnected in a ring topology, such as a metropolitan area network (MAN) or large campuses. FRRP is similar to what can be achieved with the spanning tree protocol (STP), though even with optimizations, STP can take up to 50 seconds to converge (depending on the size of network and node of failure) may require 4 to 5 seconds to reconverge.
Figure 42. Normal Operating FRRP Topology A virtual LAN (VLAN) is configured on all node ports in the ring. All ring ports must be members of the Member VLAN and the Control VLAN. The Member VLAN is the VLAN used to transmit data as described earlier. The Control VLAN is used to perform the health checks on the ring. The Control VLAN can always pass through all ports in the ring, including the secondary port of the Master node.
Ring Failure If a Transit node detects a link down on any of its ports on the FRRP ring, it immediately sends a link-down control frame on the Control VLAN to the Master node. When the Master node receives this control frame, the Master node moves from the Normal state to the Ring-Fault state and unblocks its Secondary port. The Master node clears its routing table and sends a control frame to all other ring nodes, instructing them to clear their routing tables as well.
Figure 43. Multiple Rings Connected by a Single Switch Example Important FRRP Points FRRP provides a convergence time that can generally range between 150ms and 1500ms for Layer 2 networks. The Master node originates a high-speed frame that circulates around the ring. This frame, appropriately, sets up or breaks down the ring. • The Master node transmits ring status check frames at specified intervals. • You can run multiple physical rings on the same switch.
– Hello RHF: sent at 500ms (hello interval); Only the Master node transmits and processes these. – Topology Change RHF: triggered updates; processed at all nodes. Important FRRP Concepts The following table lists some important FRRP concepts. Concept Explanation Ring ID Each ring has a unique 8-bit ring ID through which the ring is identified (for example, FRRP 101 and FRRP 202. Control VLAN Each ring has a unique Control VLAN through which tagged ring health frames (RHF) are sent.
Implementing FRRP • FRRP is media and speed independent. • FRRP is a Dell proprietary protocol that does not interoperate with any other vendor. • You must disable the spanning tree protocol (STP) on both the Primary and Secondary interfaces before you can enable FRRP. • All ring ports must be Layer 2 ports. This is required for both Master and Transit nodes. • A VLAN configured as a control VLAN for a ring cannot be configured as a control or member VLAN for any other ring.
• All VLANS must be in Layer 2 mode. • You can only add ring nodes to the VLAN. • A control VLAN can belong to one FRRP group only. • Tag control VLAN ports. • All ports on the ring must use the same VLAN ID for the control VLAN. • You cannot configure a VLAN as both a control VLAN and member VLAN on the same ring. • Only two interfaces can be members of a control VLAN (the Master Primary and Secondary ports). • Member VLANs across multiple rings are not supported in Master nodes.
no disable Configuring and Adding the Member VLANs Control and member VLANS are configured normally for Layer 2. Their status as Control or Member is determined at the FRRP group commands. For more information about configuring VLANS in Layer 2 mode, refer to the Layer 2 chapter. Be sure to follow these guidelines: • • • All VLANS must be in Layer 2 mode. Tag control VLAN ports. Member VLAN ports, except the Primary/Secondary interface, can be tagged or untagged.
6 Enable this FRRP group on this switch. CONFIG-FRRP mode. no disable Setting the FRRP Timers To set the FRRP timers, use the following command. NOTE: Set the Dead-Interval time 3 times the Hello-Interval. • Enter the desired intervals for Hello-Interval or Dead-Interval times. CONFIG-FRRP mode. timer {hello-interval|dead-interval} milliseconds – Hello-Interval: the range is from 50 to 2000, in increments of 50 (default is 500).

Troubleshooting FRRP To troubleshoot FRRP, use the following information. Configuration Checks • Each Control Ring must use a unique VLAN ID. • Only two interfaces on a switch can be Members of the same control VLAN. • There can be only one Master node for any FRRP group. • You can configure FRRP on Layer 2 interfaces only.

NOTE: For more information on configuring VLT between 2 devices, see Configuring VLT Example Scenario Following example scenario describes an Active-Active FRRP ring topology where the ring is blocked on a per VLAN or VLAN group basis allowing active-active FRRP ring for different set of VLANs. In this scenario, an FRRP ring named R1 is configured with VLT Node1 acting as the Master node and VLT Node2 as the transit node.
Figure 46. FRRP Ring using VLTi links Important Points to Remember • VLTi can be configured only as the primary interface for the primary interface of any FRRP ring. • Only RSTP and PVST are supported in the VLT environment. Enabling either RSTP or PVST effects FRRP functionality even though these features are disabled on FRRP enabled interfaces. • Dell Networking OS does not support coexistence of xSTP and FRRP configurations.
20 GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) Dell Networking OS supports GARP VLAN registration protocol (GVRP). Typical virtual local area network (VLAN) implementation involves manually configuring each Layer 2 switch that participates in a given VLAN. GVRP, defined by the IEEE 802.1q specification, is a Layer 2 network protocol that provides for automatic VLAN configuration of switches. GVRP-compliant switches use GARP to register and de-register attribute values, such as VLAN IDs, with each other.
type of port is referred to as a VLAN trunk port, but it is not necessary to specifically identify to the Dell Networking operating system (OS) that the port is a trunk port. Figure 47. Global GVRP Configuration Example Basic GVRP configuration is a two-step process: 1 Enabling GVRP Globally 2 Enabling GVRP on a Layer 2 Interface Related Configuration Tasks • Configure GVRP Registration • Configure a GARP Timer Enabling GVRP Globally To configure GVRP globally, use the following command.

There are three GARP timer settings. • Join — A GARP device reliably transmits Join messages to other devices by sending each Join message two times.
21 Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Multicast is premised on identifying many hosts by a single destination IP address; hosts represented by the same IP address are a multicast group. IGMP is a Layer 3 multicast protocol that hosts use to join or leave a multicast group. Multicast routing protocols (such as protocolindependent multicast [PIM]) use the information in IGMP messages to discover which groups are active and to populate the multicast routing table.
Figure 48. IGMP Messages in IP Packets Join a Multicast Group There are two ways that a host may join a multicast group: it may respond to a general query from its querier or it may send an unsolicited report to its querier. • Responding to an IGMP Query – One router on a subnet is elected as the querier. The querier periodically multicasts (to all-multicast-systems address 224.0.0.1) a general query to all hosts on the subnet.
IGMP Version 3 Conceptually, IGMP version 3 behaves the same as version 2. However, there are differences. • Version 3 adds the ability to filter by multicast source, which helps multicast routing protocols avoid forwarding traffic to subnets where there are no interested receivers. • To enable filtering, routers must keep track of more state information, that is, the list of sources that must be filtered.
Figure 50. IGMP Version 3–Capable Multicast Routers Address Structure Joining and Filtering Groups and Sources The following illustration shows how multicast routers maintain the group and source information from unsolicited reports. 1 The first unsolicited report from the host indicates that it wants to receive traffic for group 224.1.1.1. 2 The host’s second report indicates that it is only interested in traffic from group 224.1.1.1, source 10.11.1.1.
Figure 51. Membership Reports: Joining and Filtering Leaving and Staying in Groups The following illustration shows how multicast routers track and refresh state changes in response to group-and-specific and general queries. 1 Host 1 sends a message indicating it is leaving group 224.1.1.1 and that the included filter for 10.11.1.1 and 10.11.1.2 are no longer necessary.
Figure 52. Membership Queries: Leaving and Staying IGMP Snooping IGMP snooping enables switches to use information in IGMP packets to generate a forwarding table that associates ports with multicast groups so that when they receive multicast frames, they can forward them only to interested receivers. Multicast packets are addressed with multicast MAC addresses, which represent a group of devices, rather than one unique device.
Configuring IGMP Snooping Configuring IGMP snooping is a one-step process. To enable, view, or disable IGMP snooping, use the following commands. • Enable IGMP snooping on a switch. CONFIGURATION mode ip igmp snooping enable • View the configuration. CONFIGURATION mode show running-config • Disable snooping on a VLAN.
Disabling Multicast Flooding If the switch receives a multicast packet that has an IP address of a group it has not learned (unregistered frame), the switch floods that packet out of all ports on the VLAN. On the MXL Switch, when you configure no ip igmp snooping flood, the system forwards the frames on the mrouter ports for first 96 IGMP snooping-enabled VLANs. For all other VLANs, the unregistered multicast packets are dropped.
Fast Convergence after MSTP Topology Changes The following describes the fast convergence feature. When a port transitions to the Forwarding state as a result of an STP or MSTP topology change, the system sends a general query out of all ports except the multicast router ports. The host sends a response to the general query and the forwarding database is updated without having to wait for the query interval to expire.

Packets routed to it are processed locally. Because this interface is not a physical interface, you can configure routing protocols on this interface to provide protocol stability. You can place Loopback interfaces in default Layer 3 mode. To configure, view, or delete a Loopback interface, use the following commands.
Port Channel Definition and Standards Link aggregation is defined by IEEE 802.3ad as a method of grouping multiple physical interfaces into a single logical interface—a link aggregation group (LAG) or port channel. A LAG is “a group of links that appear to a MAC client as if they were a single link” according to IEEE 802.3ad. In the Dell Networking OS, a LAG is referred to as a port channel interface. A port channel provides redundancy by aggregating physical interfaces into one logical interface.
100/1000/10000 Mbps Interfaces in Port Channels When both 100/1000/10000 interfaces and TenGigabitEthernet interfaces are added to a port channel, the interfaces must share a common speed. When interfaces have a configured speed different from the port channel speed, the software disables those interfaces. The common speed is determined when the port channel is first enabled. At that time, the software checks the first interface listed in the port channel configuration.
Adding a Physical Interface to a Port Channel You can add any physical interface to a port channel if the interface configuration is minimal. NOTE: Port channels can contain a mix of 100/1000/10000 Ethernet interfaces and 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface, but the Dell Networking OS disables the interfaces that are not the same speed of the first channel member in the port channel (refer to 100/1000/10000 Mbps Interfaces in Port Channels).

Dell Networking OS allows you to modify the hashing algorithms used for flows and for fragments. The load-balance and hash-algorithm commands are available for modifying the distribution algorithms. Their syntax and implementation are somewhat different between the ESeries and the C-Series and S-Series NOTE: Hash-based load-balancing on MPLS does not work when packet-based hashing (load-balance ip-selection packetbased) is enabled.
• xor8 — Upper 8 bits of CRC16-BISYNC and lower 8 bits of xor8 • xor16 — uses 16 bit XOR. Server Ports By default, the switch allows the server ports to come up as switch ports in no shut mode, ready to switch traffic. Default Configuration without Start-up Config This feature is enabled by default and can be enabled on reload by deleting the start-up config file. On reload, all the server ports (1-32) come up as switch ports in No Shut mode.
NOTE: Non-existing interfaces are excluded from the interface range prompt. NOTE: When creating an interface range, interfaces appear in the order they were entered and are not sorted. To display all interfaces that have been validated under the interface range context, use the show range command in Interface Range mode. To display the running configuration only for interfaces that are part of interface range, use the show configuration command in Interface Range mode.

Layer 2 Overhead Transmission Media MTU Range (in bytes) Ethernet 594-12000 = link MTU 576-11982 = IP MTU Converting a QSFP or QSFP+ Port to an SFP or SFP+ Port You can convert a QSFP or QSFP+ port to an SFP or SFP+ port using the Quad to Small Form Factor Pluggable Adapter (QSA).
• QSFP port 0 is connected to a QSA with SFP+ optical cables plugged in. • QSFP port 4 is connected to a QSA with SFP optical cables plugged in. • QSFP port 8 in fanned-out mode is plugged in with QSFP optical cables. • QSFP port 12 in 40 G mode is plugged in with QSFP optical cables.
Enabling Pause Frames Enable Ethernet pause frames flow control on all ports on a chassis. If not, the system may exhibit unpredictable behavior. NOTE: If you disable rx flow control, Dell Networking recommends rebooting the system. The flow control sender and receiver must be on the same port-pipe. Flow control is not supported across different port-pipes. (also refer to iSCSI Optimization: Operation).
Port Channels: • All members must have the same link MTU value and the same IP MTU value. • The port channel link MTU and IP MTU must be less than or equal to the link MTU and IP MTU values configured on the channel members. For example, if the members have a link MTU of 2100 and an IP MTU 2000, the port channel’s MTU values cannot be higher than 2100 for link MTU or 2000 bytes for IP MTU. VLANs: • All members of a VLAN must have the same IP MTU value. • Members can have different Link MTU values.

INTERFACE mode speed {100 | 1000 | 10000 | auto} NOTE: If you use an active optical cable (AOC), you can convert the QSFP+ port to a 10 Gigabit SFP+ port or 1 Gigabit SFP port. You can use the speed command to enable the required speed. 6 Disable auto-negotiation on the port. INTERFACE mode no negotiation auto If the speed was set to 1000, do not disable auto-negotiation.
duplex full no shutdown Set Auto-Negotiation Options The negotiation auto command provides a mode option for configuring an individual port to forced master/ forced slave after you enable auto-negotiation. CAUTION: Ensure that only one end of the node is configured as forced-master and the other is configured as forced-slave. If both are configured the same (that is, both as forced-master or both as forced-slave), the show interface command flaps between an auto-neg-error and forced-master/slave states.

Assigning a Front-end Port to a Management VRF Starting in 9.7(0.0) release, you can assign a front-end port to a management VRF and make the port to act as a host interface. NOTE: You cannot assign loop-back and port-channel interfaces to a management port.
23 Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) IPSec is an end-to-end security scheme for protecting IP communications by authenticating and encrypting all packets in a communication session. Use IPSec between hosts, between gateways, or between hosts and gateways. IPSec is compatible with Telnet and file transfer protocols (FTPs) and can operate in Transport mode. In Transport mode, IPSec encrypts only the packet payload; the IP header is unchanged. This is the default mode.

24 IPv4 Routing The Dell Networking OS supports various IP addressing features. This chapter describes the basics of domain name service (DNS), address resolution protocol (ARP), and routing principles and their implementation in the Dell Networking operating system (OS).
Implementation Information In the Dell Networking OS, you can configure any IP address as a static route except IP addresses already assigned to interfaces. NOTE: The Dell Networking OS versions 7.7.1.0 and later support 31-bit subnet masks (/31, or 255.255.255.254) as defined by RFC 3021. This feature allows you to save two more IP addresses on point-to-point links than 30-bit masks. The system supports RFC 3021 with ARP.
• secondary: add the keyword secondary if the IP address is the interface’s backup IP address. To view the configuration, use the show config command in INTERFACE mode or use the show ip interface command in EXEC privilege mode, as shown in the second example.

network load and speed, and it is not a consistent value. The MTU size can also be different for various types of traffic sent from one host to the same endpoint. Path MTU discovery (PMTD) identifies the path MTU value between the sender and the receiver, and uses the determined value to transmit packets across the network. PMTD, as described in RFC 1191, denotes that the default byte size of an IP packet is 576. This packet size is called the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for IPv4 frames.
Configuring the Duration to Establish a TCP Connection You can configure the amount of time for which the device must wait before it attempts to establish a TCP connection. Using this capability, you can limit the wait times for TCP connection requests.
Enabling Dynamic Resolution of Host Names By default, dynamic resolution of host names (DNS) is disabled. To enable DNS, use the following commands. • Enable dynamic resolution of host names. CONFIGURATION mode ip domain-lookup • Specify up to six name servers. CONFIGURATION mode ip name-server ip-address [ip-address2 ... ip-address6] The order you entered the servers determines the order of their use. Example of the show hosts Command To view current bindings, use the show hosts command.
Configuring DNS with Traceroute To configure your switch to perform DNS with traceroute, use the following commands. • Enable dynamic resolution of host names. CONFIGURATION mode ip domain-lookup • Specify up to six name servers. CONFIGURATION mode ip name-server ip-address [ip-address2 ... ip-address6] • The order you entered the servers determines the order of their use.
Configuration Tasks for ARP For a complete listing of all ARP-related commands, refer to the Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide.
Clearing ARP Cache To clear the ARP cache of dynamically learnt ARP information, use the following command. • Clear the ARP caches for all interfaces or for a specific interface by entering the following information. EXEC privilege clear arp-cache [interface | ip ip-address] [no-refresh] – ip ip-address (OPTIONAL): enter the keyword ip then the IP address of the ARP entry you wish to clear. – no-refresh (OPTIONAL): enter the keywords no-refresh to delete the ARP entry from CAM.
Figure 53. ARP Learning via ARP Request Beginning with the Dell Networking OS version 8.3.1.0, when you enable ARP learning via gratuitous ARP, the system installs a new ARP entry, or updates an existing entry for all received ARP requests. Figure 54. ARP Learning via ARP Request with ARP Learning via Gratuitous ARP Enabled Whether you enable or disable ARP learning via gratuitous ARP, the system does not look up the target IP.
• Set the exponential timer for resending unresolved ARPs. CONFIGURATION mode arp backoff-time The default is 30. • The range is from 1 to 3600. Display all ARP entries learned via gratuitous ARP. EXEC Privilege mode show arp retries ICMP For diagnostics, the internet control message protocol (ICMP) provides routing information to end stations by choosing the best route (ICMP redirect messages) or determining if a router is reachable (ICMP Echo or Echo Reply).
Figure 55. ICMP Redirect Host H is connected to the same Ethernet segment as SW1 and SW2. SW1 and SW2 are multi-layer switches which can route packets. The default gateway of Host H is configured as SW1. Although the best route to the remote branch office host may be through SW2, Host H sends a packet destined for Host R to its default gateway — SW1.
Important Points to Remember • The existing ip directed broadcast command is rendered meaningless if you enable UDP helper on the same interface. • The broadcast traffic rate should not exceed 200 packets per second when you enable UDP helper. • You may specify a maximum of 16 UDP ports.
UDP Helper with Broadcast-All Addresses When the destination IP address of an incoming packet is the IP broadcast address, the system rewrites the address to match the configured broadcast address. In the following illustration: 1 Packet 1 is dropped at ingress if you did not configure UDP helper address.
Figure 57. UDP Helper with Subnet Broadcast Addresses UDP Helper with Configured Broadcast Addresses Incoming packets with a destination IP address matching the configured broadcast address of any interface are forwarded to the matching interfaces. In the following illustration, Packet 1 has a destination IP address that matches the configured broadcast address of VLAN 100 and 101.
Troubleshooting UDP Helper To display debugging information for troubleshooting, use the debug ip udp-helper command. Example of the debug ip udp-helper Command Dell(conf)# debug ip udp-helper 01:20:22: Pkt rcvd on TenGig 5/0 with IP DA (0xffffffff) will be sent on TenGig 5/1 TenGig 5/ 2 Vlan 3 01:44:54: Pkt rcvd on TenGig 7/0 is handed over for DHCP processing. When using the IP helper and UDP helper on the same interface, use the debug ip dhcp command.
25 IPv6 Addressing Dell Networking OS supports Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6). NOTE: The IPv6 basic commands are supported on all platforms. However, not all features are supported on all platforms, nor for all releases. To determine the Dell Networking OS version supporting which features and platforms, refer to Implementing IPv6 with the Dell Networking OS. IPv6 is the successor to IPv4. Due to the rapid growth in internet users and IP addresses, IPv4 is reaching its maximum usage.
Extended Address Space The address format is extended from 32 bits to 128 bits. This not only provides room for all anticipated needs, it allows for the use of a hierarchical address space structure to optimize global addressing. Stateless Autoconfiguration When a booting device comes up in IPv6 and asks for its network prefix, the device can get the prefix (or prefixes) from an IPv6 router on its link.
• Payload Length (16 bits) • Next Header (8 bits) • Hop Limit (8 bits) • Source Address (128 bits) • Destination Address (128 bits) IPv6 provides for extension headers. Extension headers are used only if necessary. There can be no extension headers, one extension header or more than one extension header in an IPv6 packet. Extension headers are defined in the Next Header field of the preceding IPv6 header.
Next Header (8 bits) The Next Header field identifies the next header’s type. If an Extension header is used, this field contains the type of Extension header (as shown in the following table). If the next header is a transmission control protocol (TCP) or user datagram protocol (UDP) header, the value in this field is the same as for IPv4. The Extension header is located between the IP header and the TCP or UDP header. The following lists the Next Header field values.
Source Address (128 bits) The Source Address field contains the IPv6 address for the packet originator. Destination Address (128 bits) The Destination Address field contains the intended recipient’s IPv6 address. This can be either the ultimate destination or the address of the next hop router. Extension Header Fields Extension headers are used only when necessary. Due to the streamlined nature of the IPv6 header, adding extension headers do not severely impact performance.
10 Discard the packet and send an ICMP Parameter Problem Code 2 message to the packet’s Source IP Address identifying the unknown option type. 11 Discard the packet and send an ICMP Parameter Problem, Code 2 message to the packet’s Source IP Address only if the Destination IP Address is not a multicast address. The second byte contains the Option Data Length. The third byte specifies whether the information can change en route to the destination.
the same IPv6 address to a particular computer, and never to assign that IP address to another computer. This allows static IPv6 addresses to be configured in one place, without having to specifically configure each computer on the network in a different way. In IPv6, every interface, whether using static or dynamic address assignments, also receives a local-link address automatically in the fe80::/64 subnet.

Generally, ICMPv6 uses two message types: • Error reporting messages indicate when the forwarding or delivery of the packet failed at the destination or intermediate node. These messages include Destination Unreachable, Packet Too Big, Time Exceeded and Parameter Problem messages. • Informational messages provide diagnostic functions and additional host functions, such as Neighbor Discovery and Multicast Listener Discovery. These messages also include Echo Request and Echo Reply messages.
NOTE: To avoid problems with network discovery, Dell Networking recommends configuring the static route last or assigning an IPv6 address to the interface and assigning an address to the peer (the forwarding router’s address) less than 10 seconds apart. With ARP, each node broadcasts ARP requests on the entire link. This approach causes unnecessary processing by uninterested nodes.
• multicast addresses • invalid host addresses If you specify this information in the IPv6 RDNSS configuration, a DNS error is displayed. Example for Configuring an IPv6 Recursive DNS Server The following example configures a RDNNS server with an IPv6 address of 1000::1 and a lifetime of 1 second. Debugging IPv6 RDNSS Information Sent to the Host To verify that the IPv6 RDNSS information sent to the host is configured correctly, use the debug ipv6 nd command in EXEC Privilege mode.
For more information, refer to the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP), Multicast IPv6, and Protocol Independent Multicast (IPv6) chapters in the Dell Networking OS Command Line Interface Reference Guide. Secure Shell (SSH) Over an IPv6 Transport Dell Networking OS supports IPv6 secure shell (SSH). The Dell Networking OS supports both inbound and outbound SSH sessions using IPv6 addressing.
• Show the current CAM settings. EXEC mode or EXEC Privilege mode show cam-acl • Provides information on FP groups allocated for the egress acl.

Assigning an IPv6 Address to an Interface Dell Networking OS supports IPv6 addresses. Essentially, IPv6 is enabled in the Dell Networking OS simply by assigning IPv6 addresses to individual router interfaces.

26 iSCSI Optimization The MXL switch enables internet small computer system interface (iSCSI) optimization with default iSCSI parameter settings and is autoprovisioned to support the following features. • Detection and Auto-Configuration for Dell EqualLogic Arrays • Configuring Detection and Ports for Dell Compellent Arrays To display information on iSCSI configuration and sessions, use the show commands. iSCSI optimization enables quality-of-service (QoS) treatment for iSCSI traffic.
NOTE: After a switch is reloaded, powercycled, or upgraded, any information exchanged during the initial handshake is not available. If the switch establishes communication after reloading, it detects that a session was in progress but could not obtain complete information for it. Any incomplete information is not available in the show commands.
Monitoring iSCSI Traffic Flows The switch snoops iSCSI session-establishment and termination packets by installing classifier rules that trap iSCSI protocol packets to the CPU for examination. Devices that initiate iSCSI sessions usually use well-known TCP ports 3260 or 860 to contact targets. When you enable iSCSI optimization, by default the switch identifies IP packets to or from these ports as iSCSI traffic.
Configuring Detection and Ports for Dell Compellent Arrays For the best iSCSI traffic conditions, the MXL switch auto-configures a port connected to a Dell Compellent storage array, when configured as compellent connected port through CLI.

27 Intermediate System to Intermediate System Dell Networking OS supports intermediate system to intermediate system (IS-IS). • The IS-IS protocol is an interior gateway protocol (IGP) that uses a shortest-path-first algorithm. Dell Networking supports both IPv4 and IPv6 versions of IS-IS. • The IS-IS protocol standards are listed in the Standards Compliance chapter.
selector. All routers within an area have the same area portion. Level 1 routers route based on the system address portion of the address, while the Level 2 routers route based on the area address. The NET length is variable, with a maximum of 20 bytes and a minimum of 8 bytes. It is composed of the following: • • • area address — within your routing domain or area, each area must have a unique area value. The first byte is called the authority and format indicator (AFI).
Interface Support MT IS-IS is supported on physical Ethernet interfaces, physical synchronous optical network technologies (SONET) interfaces, portchannel interfaces (static and dynamic using LACP), and virtual local area network (VLAN) interfaces. Adjacencies Adjacencies on point-to-point interfaces are formed as usual, where IS-IS routers do not implement MT extensions.
Implementation Information IS-IS implementation supports one instance of IS-IS and six areas. You can configure the system as a Level 1 router, a Level 2 router, or a Level 1-2 router. For IPv6, the IPv4 implementation has been expanded to include two new type, length, values (TLVs) in the PDU that carry information required for IPv6 routing. The new TLVs are IPv6 Reachability and IPv6 Interface Address. Also, a new IPv6 protocol identifier has also been included in the supported TLVs.
NOTE: When using the IS-IS routing protocol to exchange IPv6 routing information and to determine destination reachability, you can route IPv6 along with IPv4 while using a single intra-domain routing protocol. The configuration commands allow you to enable and disable IPv6 routing and to configure or remove IPv6 prefixes on links. Except where identified, the commands described in this chapter apply to both IPv4 and IPv6 versions of IS-IS.
Enter the keyword interface then the type of interface and slot/port information: 4 • For the Loopback interface on the RPM, enter the keyword loopback then a number from 0 to 16383. • For a port channel, enter the keywords port-channel then a number from 1 to 255. • For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port information. • For a VLAN, enter the keyword vlan then a number from 1 to 4094. Enter an IPv4 Address.
Generate wide metrics: Accept wide metrics: Dell# none none To view IS-IS protocol statistics, use the show isis traffic command in EXEC Privilege mode.
Use this command for IPv6 route computation only when you enable multi-topology. If using Single-Topology mode, to apply to both IPv4 and IPv6 route computations, use the spf-interval command in CONFIG ROUTER ISIS mode. 4 Implement a wide metric-style globally. ROUTER ISIS AF IPV6 mode isis ipv6 metric metric-value [level-1 | level-2 | level-1-2] To configure wide or wide transition metric style, the cost can be between 0 and 16,777,215.
ROUTER-ISIS mode graceful-restart t3 {adjacency | manual seconds} – adjacency: the restarting router receives the remaining time value from its peer and adjusts its T3 value so if user has configured this option. – manual: allows you to specify a fixed value that the restarting router should use. The range is from 50 to 120 seconds. The default is 30 seconds.
Number of active level-2 adjacencies: 1 Next IS-IS LAN Level-1 Hello in 4 seconds Next IS-IS LAN Level-2 Hello in 6 seconds LSP Interval: 33 Next IS-IS LAN Level-1 Hello in 4 seconds Next IS-IS LAN Level-2 Hello in 6 seconds LSP Interval: 33 Restart Capable Neighbors: 2, In Start: 0, In Restart: 0 Dell# Changing LSP Attributes IS-IS routers flood link state PDUs (LSPs) to exchange routing information.
Configuring the IS-IS Metric Style All IS-IS links or interfaces are associated with a cost that is used in the shortest path first (SPF) calculations. The possible cost varies depending on the metric style supported. If you configure narrow, transition, or narrow transition metric style, the cost can be a number between 0 and 63. If you configure wide or wide transition metric style, the cost can be a number between 0 and 16,777,215.
Distance: 115 Generate narrow metrics: Accept narrow metrics: Generate wide metrics: Accept wide metrics: Dell# level-1-2 level-1-2 none none Configuring the IS-IS Cost When you change from one IS-IS metric style to another, the IS-IS metric value could be affected. For each interface with IS-IS enabled, you can assign a cost or metric that is used in the link state calculation. To change the metric or cost of the interface, use the following commands. • Assign an IS-IS metric.
distance Changing the IS-Type To change the IS-type, use the following commands. You can configure the system to act as a Level 1 router, a Level 1-2 router, or a Level 2 router. To change the IS-type for the router, use the following commands. • Configure IS-IS operating level for a router. ROUTER ISIS mode is-type {level-1 | level-1-2 | level-2-only} • Default is level-1-2. Change the IS-type for the IS-IS process.
– For a VLAN, enter the keyword vlan then a number from 1 to 4094. Distribute Routes Another method of controlling routing information is to filter the information through a prefix list. Prefix lists are applied to incoming or outgoing routes and routes must meet the conditions of the prefix lists or the Dell Networking OS does not install the route in the routing table. The prefix lists are globally applied on all interfaces running IS-IS.
Enter the type of interface and slot/port information: – For the Loopback interface on the RPM, enter the keyword loopback then a number from 0 to 16383. – For a port channel, enter the keywords port-channel then a number from 1 to 255. – For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port information. • – For a VLAN, enter the keyword vlan then a number from 1 to 4094. Apply a configured prefix list to all outgoing IPv6 IS-IS routes.
– level-1, level-1-2, or level-2: assign all redistributed routes to a level. The default is level-2. – metric value the range is from 0 to 16777215. The default is 0. – match external the range is from 1 or 2. – match internal – metric-type: external or internal. – map-name: enter the name of a configured route map. Redistributing IPv6 Routes To add routes from other routing instances or protocols, use the following commands. NOTE: These commands apply to IPv6 IS-IS only.
The Dell Networking OS supports HMAC-MD5 authentication. • This password is inserted in Level 1 LSPs, Complete SNPs, and Partial SNPs. Set the authentication password for a routing domain. ROUTER ISIS mode domain-password [encryption-type | hmac-md5] password The Dell Networking OS supports both DES and HMAC-MD5 authentication methods. This password is inserted in Level 2 LSPs, Complete SNPs, and Partial SNPs.
Debugging IS-IS To debug IS-IS processes, use the following commands. • View all IS-IS information. EXEC Privilege mode debug isis • View information on all adjacency-related activity (for example, hello packets that are sent and received). EXEC Privilege mode debug isis adj-packets [interface] To view specific information, enter the following optional parameter: – interface: Enter the type of interface and slot/port information to view IS-IS information on that interface only.
IS-IS Metric Styles The following sections provide additional information about the IS-IS metric styles.

28 Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) Link aggregation control protocol (LACP) is supported on the MXL switch platform. Introduction to Dynamic LAGs and LACP A link aggregation group (LAG), referred to as a port channel, can provide both load-sharing and port redundancy across line cards. You can enable LAGs as static or dynamic. The benefits and constraints are basically the same, as described in Port Channel Interfaces in the Interfaces chapter.
• You can configure a maximum of 128 port-channels with up to 16 members per channel. LACP Modes The Dell Networking OS provides three modes for configuration of LACP — Off, Active, and Passive. • Off — In this state, an interface is not capable of being part of a dynamic LAG. LACP does not run on any port that is configured to be in this state. • Active — In this state, the interface is said to be in the “active negotiating state.” LACP runs on any link that is configured to be in this state.
The default is 32768. LACP Configuration Tasks The following are LACP configuration tasks. • Creating a LAG • Configuring the LAG Interfaces as Dynamic • Setting the LACP Long Timeout • Monitoring and Debugging LACP • Configuring Shared LAG State Tracking Creating a LAG To create a dynamic port channel (LAG), use the following command. First you define the LAG and then the LAG interfaces. • Create a dynamic port channel (LAG).
Dell(conf-if-gi-3/16-lacp)#port-channel 32 mode active ... Dell(conf)#interface Gigabitethernet 4/15 Dell(conf-if-gi-4/15)#no shutdown Dell(conf-if-gi-4/15)#port-channel-protocol lacp Dell(conf-if-gi-4/15-lacp)#port-channel 32 mode active ...
• Debug LACP, including configuration and events. EXEC mode [no] debug lacp [config | events | pdu [in | out | [interface [in | out]]]] Shared LAG State Tracking Shared LAG state tracking provides the flexibility to bring down a port channel (LAG) based on the operational state of another LAG. At any time, only two LAGs can be a part of a group such that the fate (status) of one LAG depends on the other LAG.
Example of LAGs in the Same Failover Group Example of Viewing the Failover Group Configuration Example of Viewing Failover Group Member Status In the following example, LAGs 1 and 2 have been placed into to the same failover group. Dell#config Dell(conf)#port-channel failover-group Dell(conf-po-failover-grp)#group 1 port-channel 1 port-channel 2 To view the failover group configuration, use the show running-configuration po-failover-group command.
Important Points about Shared LAG State Tracking The following is more information about shared LAG state tracking. • This feature is available for static and dynamic LAGs. • Only a LAG can be a member of a failover group. • You can configure shared LAG state tracking on one side of a link or on both sides. • If a LAG that is part of a failover group is deleted, the failover group is deleted. • If a LAG moves to the Down state due to this feature, its members may still be in the Up state.
The following example inspects a LAG port configuration on ALPHA.

Figure 73. Inspecting the LAG Status Using the show lacp command The point-to-point protocol (PPP) is a connection-oriented protocol that enables layer two links over various different physical layer connections. It is supported on both synchronous and asynchronous lines, and can operate in Half-Duplex or Full-Duplex mode. It was designed to carry IP traffic but is general enough to allow any type of network layer datagram to be sent over a PPP connection.

29 Layer 2 Layer 2 features are supported on the MXL switch platform. Manage the MAC Address Table The Dell Networking OS provides the following management activities for the MAC address table. • • • • Clearing the MAC Address Table Setting the Aging Time for Dynamic Entries Configuring a Static MAC Address Displaying the MAC Address Table Clearing the MAC Address Table You may clear the MAC address table of dynamic entries. To clear a MAC address table, use the following command.
second. The actual minimum aging time for entries is approximately 5 seconds because this is the default MAC address table scanning interval. Therefore, MAC aging configurations of less than 5 seconds, as in this example, might be ineffective. Configuring mac-addresstable station-move time-interval 500 solves this limitation. Reducing the scanning interval to the minimum (500 milliseconds), increases the detection speed, which results in the system clearing entries closer to the actual desired aging time.
%E90MH:5 %ACL_AGENT-2-ACL_AGENT_LIST_ERROR: Unable to apply access-list Mac-Limit on GigabitEthernet 5/84 In this case, the configuration is still present in the running-config and show output. Remove the configuration before re-applying a MAC learning limit with a lower value. Also, ensure that you can view the Syslog messages on your session. Setting the MAC Learning Limit To set a MAC learning limit on an interface, use the following command.
Setting Station Move Violation Actions no-station-move is the default behavior. You can configure the system to take an action if a station move occurs using one the following options with the mac learning-limit command. To display a list of interfaces configured with MAC learning limit or station move violation actions, use the following commands. • Generate a system log message indicating a station move. INTERFACE mode station-move-violation log • Shut down the first port to learn the MAC address.
Disabling MAC Address Learning on the System You can configure the system to not learn MAC addresses from LACP and LLDP BPDUs. To disable source MAC address learning from LACP and LLDP BPDUs, follow this procedure: • Disable source MAC address learning from LACP BPDUs. CONFIGURATION mode mac-address-table disable-learning lacp • Disable source MAC address learning from LLDP BPDUs. CONFIGURATION mode mac-address-table disable-learning lldp • Disable source MAC address learning from LACP and LLDP BPDUs.
Figure 74. Redundant NICs with NIC Teaming When you use NIC teaming, consider that the server MAC address is originally learned on Port 0/1 of the switch (shown in the following) and Port 0/5 is the failover port. When the NIC fails, the system automatically sends an ARP request for the gateway or host NIC to resolve the ARP and refresh the egress interface.
Figure 75. Configuring the mac-address-table station-move refresh-arp Command MAC Move Optimization MAC move optimization is supported only on the E-Series platform. Station-move detection takes 5000ms because this is the interval at which the detection algorithm runs. The threshold option is the number of times a station move must be detected in a single interval in order to trigger a system log message.
30 Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) The link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) is supported on the MXL switch platform. 802.1AB (LLDP) Overview LLDP — defined by IEEE 802.1AB — is a protocol that enables a local area network (LAN) device to advertise its configuration and receive configuration information from adjacent LLDP-enabled LAN infrastructure devices.
Table 36. Type, Length, Value (TLV) Types Type TLV Description 0 End of LLDPDU Marks the end of an LLDPDU. 1 Chassis ID An administratively assigned name that identifies the LLDP agent. 2 Port ID An administratively assigned name that identifies a port through which TLVs are sent and received. 3 Time to Live A value that tells the receiving agent how long the information contained in the TLV Value field is valid.
Figure 78. Organizationally Specific TLV IEEE Organizationally Specific TLVs Eight TLV types have been defined by the IEEE 802.1 and 802.3 working groups as a basic part of LLDP; the IEEE OUI is 00-80-C2. You can configure the Dell Networking system to advertise any or all of these TLVs. Table 37. Optional TLV Types Type TLV Description 4 Port description A user-defined alphanumeric string that describes the port. The Dell Networking OS does not currently support this TLV.
Type TLV Description of auto-negotiation. This TLV is not available in the the Dell Networking OS implementation of LLDP, but is available and mandatory (non-configurable) in the LLDPMED implementation. 127 Power via MDI Dell Networking supports the LLDP-MED protocol, which recommends that Power via MDI TLV be not implemented, and therefore Dell Networking implements Extended Power via MDI TLV only.
Table 38. TIA-1057 (LLDP-MED) Organizationally Specific TLVs Type SubType TLV Description 127 1 LLDP-MED Capabilities Indicates: • • • whether the transmitting device supports LLDP-MED what LLDP-MED TLVs it supports LLDP device class 127 2 Network Policy Indicates the application type, VLAN ID, Layer 2 Priority, and DSCP value.
LLDP-MED Capabilities TLV The LLDP-MED capabilities TLV communicates the types of TLVs that the endpoint device and the network connectivity device support. LLDP-MED network connectivity devices must transmit the Network Policies TLV. • The value of the LLDP-MED capabilities field in the TLV is a 2–octet bitmap, each bit represents an LLDP-MED capability (as shown in the following table). • The possible values of the LLDP-MED device type are shown in the following.
• VLAN ID • VLAN tagged or untagged status • Layer 2 priority • DSCP value An integer represents the application type (the Type integer shown in the following table), which indicates a device function for which a unique network policy is defined. An individual LLDP-MED network policy TLV is generated for each application type that you specify with the CLI (XXAdvertising TLVs).
Figure 80. LLDP-MED Policies TLV Extended Power via MDI TLV The extended power via MDI TLV enables advanced PoE management between LLDP-MED endpoints and network connectivity devices. Advertise the extended power via MDI on all ports that are connected to an 802.3af powered, LLDP-MED endpoint device. • Power Type — there are two possible power types: power source entity (PSE) or power device (PD). The Dell Networking system is a PSE, which corresponds to a value of 0, based on the TIA-1057 specification.
Important Points to Remember • LLDP is enabled by default. • Dell Networking systems support up to eight neighbors per interface. • Dell Networking systems support a maximum of 8000 total neighbors per system. If the number of interfaces multiplied by eight exceeds the maximum, the system does not configure more than 8000. • INTERFACE level configurations override all CONFIGURATION level configurations. • LLDP is not hitless.
Enabling LLDP LLDP is enabled by default. Enable and disable LLDP globally or per interface. If you enable LLDP globally, all UP interfaces send periodic LLDPDUs. To enable LLDP, use the following command. 1 Enter Protocol LLDP mode. CONFIGURATION or INTERFACE mode protocol lldp 2 Enable LLDP. PROTOCOL LLDP mode no disable Disabling and Undoing LLDP To disable or undo LLDP, use the following command. • Disable LLDP globally or for an interface.

31 Microsoft Network Load Balancing Network Load Balancing (NLB) is a clustering functionality that is implemented by Microsoft on Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. NLB uses a distributed methodology or pattern to equally split and balance the network traffic load across a set of servers that are part of the cluster or group.
With multicast NLB mode, the data is forwarded to all the servers based on the port specified using the Layer 2 multicast command, which is the mac-address-table static multicast vlan output-range , command in CONFIGURATION mode. Limitations With Enabling NLB on Switches The following limitations apply to switches on which you configure NLB: • The NLB unicast mode uses switch flooding to transmit all packets to all the servers that are part of the VLAN.
packets, which had the Ethernet MAC SA different from the MAC information inside the ARP packet. This unicast data traffic flooding occurs only for those packets that use these ARP entries.
32 Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) Dell Networking OS supports multicast source discovery protocol (MSDP). Protocol Overview MSDP is a Layer 3 protocol that connects IPv4 protocol-independent multicast-sparse mode (PIM-SM) domains. A domain in the context of MSDP is a contiguous set of routers operating PIM within a common boundary defined by an exterior gateway protocol, such as border gateway protocol (BGP).
Figure 84. Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) RPs advertise each (S,G) in its domain in type, length, value (TLV) format. The total number of TLVs contained in the SA is indicated in the “Entry Count” field. SA messages are transmitted every 60 seconds, and immediately when a new source is detected.

active sources in the area of the other RPs. If any of the RPs fail, IP routing converges and one of the RPs becomes the active RP in more than one area. New sources register with the backup RP. Receivers join toward the new RP and connectivity is maintained. Implementation Information The Dell Networking operating system (OS) implementation of MSDP is in accordance with RFC 3618 and Anycast RP is in accordance with RFC 3446.

33 Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) Multiple spanning tree protocol (MSTP) — specified in IEEE 802.1Q-2003 — is a rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP)-based spanning tree variation that improves on per-VLAN spanning tree plus (PVST+). Protocol Overview MSTP allows multiple spanning tree instances and allows you to map many VLANs to one spanning tree instance to reduce the total number of required instances. In contrast, PVST+ allows a spanning tree instance for each VLAN.

To enable MSTP globally, use the following commands.
MSTI 1 VLAN 100 MSTI 2 VLAN 200-300 All bridges in the MSTP region must have the same VLAN-to-instance mapping. To view which instance a VLAN is mapped to, use the show spanning-tree mst vlan command from EXEC Privilege mode. To view the forwarding/discarding state of the ports participating in an MSTI, use the show spanning-tree msti command from EXEC Privilege mode. Dell#show spanning-tree msti 1 MSTI 1 VLANs mapped 100 Root Identifier has priority 32768, Address 0001.e806.
Interoperate with Non-Dell Networking OS Bridges The Dell Networking OS supports only one MSTP region. A region is a combination of three unique qualities: • Name is a mnemonic string you assign to the region. The default region name is null. • Revision is a 2-byte number. The default revision number is 0. • VLAN-to-instance mapping is the placement of a VLAN in an MSTI. For a bridge to be in the same MSTP region as another, all three of these qualities must match exactly.
• Max-hops — the maximum number of hops a BPDU can travel before a receiving switch discards it. NOTE: Dell Networking recommends that only experienced network administrators change MSTP parameters. Poorly planned modification of MSTP parameters can negatively affect network performance. To change the MSTP parameters, use the following commands on the root bridge. 1 Change the forward-delay parameter. PROTOCOL MSTP mode forward-delay seconds The range is from 4 to 30. The default is 15 seconds.
Enable BPDU Filtering Globally The enabling of BPDU Filtering stops transmitting of BPDUs on the operational port fast enabled ports by default. When BPDUs are received, the spanning tree is automatically prepared. By default global bpdu filtering is disabled. Enable BPDU Filter globally to filter transmission of BPDU port fast enabled interfaces. PROTOCOL MSTP mode edge-port bpdu filter default Figure 96.
Port Cost Default Value Port Channel with two 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces 1800 Port Channel with two 40-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces 600 To change the port cost or priority of an interface, use the following commands. 1 Change the port cost of an interface.

• If the limit is increased after it is reached, join subsequent join requests are accepted. In this case, increase the limit by at least 10% for IGMP and MLD to resume. • If the limit is decreased after it is reached, the system does not clear the existing sessions. Entries are cleared after a timeout (you may also clear entries using clear ip mroute). NOTE: The Dell Networking OS waits at least 30 seconds between stopping and starting IGMP join processing.

Preventing a PIM Router from Processing a Join To permit or deny PIM Join/Prune messages on an interface using an extended IP access list, use the following command. NOTE: Dell Networking recommends not using the ip pim join-filter command on an interface between a source and the RP router. Using this command in this scenario could cause problems with the PIM-SM source registration process resulting in excessive traffic being sent to the CPU of both the RP and PIM DR of the source.
Important Points to Remember • Destination address of the mtrace query message can be either a unicast or a multicast address. NOTE: When you use mtrace to trace a specific multicast group, the query is sent with the group's address as the destination. Retries of the query use the unicast address of the receiver. • When you issue an mtrace without specifying a group address (weak mtrace), the destination address is considered as the unicast address of the receiver.
– Forwarding code — error code as present in the response blocks – Source Network/Mask — source mask Example of the mtrace Command to View the Network Path The following is an example of tracing a multicast route. R1>mtrace 103.103.103.3 1.1.1.1 226.0.0.3 Type Ctrl-C to abort. Querying reverse path for source 103.103.103.3 to destination 1.1.1.1 via group 226.0.0.
The response data block filled in by the last-hop router contains a Forwarding code field. Forwarding code can be added at any node and is not restricted to the last hop router. This field is used to record error codes before forwarding the response to the next neighbor in the path towards the source. In a response data packet, the following error codes are supported: Table 51.
Scenario Output -4 103.103.103.3 --> Source ----------------------------------------------------------------- You can issue the mtrace command specifying the source multicast tree and multicast group without specifying the destination. Mtrace traces the complete path traversing through the multicast group to reach the source. The output displays the destination and the first hop (-1) as 0 to indicate any PIM enabled interface on the node. R1>mtrace 103.103.103.3 1.1.1.1 226.0.0.3 Type Ctrl-C to abort.
Scenario Output 103.103.103.0/24 -3 2.2.2.1 PIM 103.103.103.0/24 -4 103.103.103.3 --> Source ----------------------------------------------------------------- You can issue the mtrace command by providing the source and multicast information. However, if the multicast group is a shared group (*,G), then mtrace traces the path of the shared tree until it reaches the RP. The source mask field reflects the shared tree that is being used to trace the path.
Scenario Output -3 10.10.10.1 PIM No route default ----------------------------------------------------------------- If a multicast tree is not formed due to a configuration issue (for example, PIM is not enabled on one of the interfaces on the path), you can invoke a weak mtrace to identify the location in the network where the error has originated. R1>mtrace 6.6.6.6 4.4.4.5 Type Ctrl-C to abort.
Scenario Output -3 2.2.2.1 PIM 99.99.0.0/16 -4 * * * * ----------------------------------------------------------------- If there is no response for mtrace even after switching to expanded hop search, the command displays an error message. R1>mtrace 99.99.99.99 1.1.1.1 Type Ctrl-C to abort. While traversing the path from source to destination, if the mtrace packet exhausts the maximum buffer size of the packet, then NO SPACE error is displayed in the output.

35 Object Tracking IPv4 or IPv6 object tracking is available on Dell Networking OS. Object tracking allows the Dell Networking OS client processes, such as virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP), to monitor tracked objects (for example, interface or link status) and take appropriate action when the state of an object changes. NOTE: In Dell Networking OS release version 9.7(0.0), object tracking is supported only on VRRP.
• A time delay before changes in a tracked object’s state are reported to a client. Track Layer 2 Interfaces You can create an object to track the line-protocol state of a Layer 2 interface. In this type of object tracking, the link-level operational status (UP or DOWN) of the interface is monitored. When the link-level status goes down, the tracked resource status is considered to be DOWN; if the link-level status goes up, the tracked resource status is considered to be UP.
VRRP Object Tracking As a client, VRRP can track up to 20 objects (including route entries, and Layer 2 and Layer 3 interfaces) in addition to the 12 tracked interfaces supported for each VRRP group. You can assign a unique priority-cost value from 1 to 254 to each tracked VRRP object or group interface. The priority cost is subtracted from the VRRP group priority if a tracked VRRP object is in a DOWN state.
3 (Optional) Identify the tracked object with a text description. OBJECT TRACKING mode description text The text string can be up to 80 characters. 4 (Optional) Display the tracking configuration and the tracked object’s status.
delay {[up seconds] [down seconds]} Valid delay times are from 0 to 180 seconds. The default is 0. 3 (Optional) Identify the tracked object with a text description. OBJECT TRACKING mode description text The text string can be up to 80 characters. 4 (Optional) Display the tracking configuration and the tracked object’s status.
• By the reachability of the route's next-hop router. The UP/DOWN state of the route is determined by the entry of the next-hop address in the ARP cache. A tracked route is considered to be reachable if there is an ARP cache entry for the route's next-hop address. If the next-hop address in the ARP cache ages out for a route tracked for its reachability, an attempt is made to regenerate the ARP cache entry to see if the next-hop address appears before considering the route DOWN.
For example, consider that the next-hop address is changed and the track reachability is checked after the set refresh interval (20 seconds). If the reachability to the next-hop address is failed, the system displays the following log stating that the track object state is changed from UP to DOWN.

36 Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv2 and OSPFv3) Dell Networking OS supports open shortest path first (OSPFv2 for IPv4) and OSPF version 3 (OSPF for IPv6). This chapter provides a general description of OSPFv2 (OSPF for IPv4) and OSPFv3 (OSPF for IPv6) as supported in the Dell Networking operating system (OS). NOTE: The fundamental mechanisms of OSPF (flooding, DR election, area support, SPF calculations, and so on) are the same between OSPFv2 and OSPFv3.
Areas allow you to further organize your routers within in the AS. One or more areas are required within the AS. Areas are valuable in that they allow sub-networks to "hide" within the AS, thus minimizing the size of the routing tables on all routers. An area within the AS may not see the details of another area’s topology. AS areas are known by their area number or the router’s IP address. Figure 101. Autonomous System Areas Area Types The backbone of the network is Area 0. It is also called Area 0.0.0.
Networks and Neighbors As a link-state protocol, OSPF sends routing information to other OSPF routers concerning the state of the links between them. The state (up or down) of those links is important. Routers that share a link become neighbors on that segment. OSPF uses the Hello protocol as a neighbor discovery and keep alive mechanism. After two routers are neighbors, they may proceed to exchange and synchronize their databases, which creates an adjacency.
Figure 102. OSPF Routing Examples Backbone Router (BR) A backbone router (BR) is part of the OSPF Backbone, Area 0. This includes all ABRs. It can also include any routers that connect only to the backbone and another ABR, but are only part of Area 0, such as Router I in the previous example. Area Border Router (ABR) Within an AS, an area border router (ABR) connects one or more areas to the backbone.
An ABR can connect to many areas in an AS, and is considered a member of each area it connects to. Internal Router (IR) The internal router (IR) has adjacencies with ONLY routers in the same area, as Router E, M, and I shown in the previous example. Designated and Backup Designated Routers OSPF elects a designated router (DR) and a backup designated router (BDR). Among other things, the DR is responsible for generating LSAs for the entire multiaccess network.
For all LSA types, there are 20-byte LSA headers. One of the fields of the LSA header is the link-state ID. Each router link is defined as one of four types: type 1, 2, 3, or 4. The LSA includes a link ID field that identifies, by the network number and mask, the object this link connects to. Depending on the type, the link ID has different meanings. • 1: point-to-point connection to another router/neighboring router. • 2: connection to a transit network IP address of the DR.
Figure 103. Priority and Cost Examples OSPF with the Dell Networking OS The Dell Networking OS supports up to 16,000 OSPF routes for OSPFv2. The Dell Networking OS version 7.8.1.0 and later supports multiple OSPF processes (OSPF MP). The FN IOM switch supports up to 16 processes simultaneously. On OSPFv3, the system supports only one process at a time for all platforms. Prior to the Dell Networking OS version 7.8.1.0, the system supported one OSPFv2 and one OSPFv3 process ID per system.
Graceful Restart Graceful restart for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 are supported in Helper and Restart modes. When a router goes down without a graceful restart, there is a possibility for loss of access to parts of the network due to ongoing network topology changes. Additionally, LSA flooding and reconvergence can cause substantial delays. It is, therefore, desirable that the network maintains a stable topology if it is possible for data flow to continue uninterrupted.
Fast Convergence (OSPFv2, IPv4 Only) Fast convergence allows you to define the speeds at which LSAs are originated and accepted, and reduce OSPFv2 end-to-end convergence time. The Dell Networking OS allows you to accept and originate LSAa as soon as they are available to speed up route information propagation. NOTE: The faster the convergence, the more frequent the route calculations and updates. This impacts CPU utilization and may impact adjacency stability in larger topologies.

Dell# Configuring Stub Areas OSPF supports different types of LSAs to help reduce the amount of router processing within the areas.
Configuring LSA Throttling Timers Configured LSA timers replace the standard transmit and acceptance times for LSAs. The LSA throttling timers are configured in milliseconds, with the interval time increasing exponentially until a maximum time has been reached. If the maximum time is reached, the system continues to transmit at the max-interval. If the system is stable for twice the maximum interval time, the system reverts to the start-interval timer and the cycle begins again.

– Key: a character string. NOTE: Be sure to write down or otherwise record the key. You cannot learn the key after it is configured. You must be careful when changing this key. • NOTE: You can configure a maximum of six digest keys on an interface. Of the available six digest keys, the switches select the MD5 key that is common. The remaining MD5 keys are unused. Change the priority of the interface, which is used to determine the Designated Router for the OSPF broadcast network.
Enabling OSPFv2 Authentication To enable or change various OSPF authentication parameters, use the following commands. • Set a clear text authentication scheme on the interface. CONFIG-INTERFACE mode ip ospf authentication-key key Configure a key that is a text string no longer than eight characters. • All neighboring routers must share password to exchange OSPF information. Set the authentication change wait time in seconds between 0 and 300 for the interface.
• Planned-only — the OSPFv2 router supports graceful-restart for planned restarts only. A planned restart is when you manually enter a fail-over command to force the primary RPM over to the secondary RPM. During a planned restart, OSPF sends out a Grace LSA before the system switches over to the secondary RPM. OSPF also is notified that a planned restart is happening. • Unplanned-only — the OSPFv2 router supports graceful-restart for only unplanned restarts.
– le max-prefix-length: is the maximum prefix length to match (from 0 to 32). For configuration information about prefix lists, refer to Access Control Lists (ACLs). Applying Prefix Lists To apply prefix lists to incoming or outgoing OSPF routes, use the following commands. • Apply a configured prefix list to incoming OSPF routes.

All IPv6 addresses on an interface are included in the OSPFv3 process that is created on the interface. Enable OSPFv3 for IPv6 by specifying an OSPF process ID and an area in INTERFACE mode. If you have not created an OSPFv3 process, it is created automatically. All IPv6 addresses configured on the interface are included in the specified OSPF process.
Assigning IPv6 Addresses on an Interface To assign IPv6 addresses to an interface, use the following commands. 1 Assign an IPv6 address to the interface. CONF-INT-type slot/port mode ipv6 address ipv6 address IPv6 addresses are normally written as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits; separate each group by a colon (:). The format is A:B:C::F/128. 2 Bring up the interface.
– number: the IPv4 address. The format is A.B.C.D. NOTE: Enter the router-id for an OSPFv3 router as an IPv4 IP address. • Disable OSPF. CONFIGURATION mode no ipv6 router ospf process-id • Reset the OSPFv3 process. EXEC Privilege mode clear ipv6 ospf process Configuring Stub Areas To configure IPv6 stub areas, use the following command. • Configure the area as a stub area.
Redistributing Routes You can add routes from other routing instances or protocols to the OSPFv3 process. With the redistribute command, you can include RIP, static, or directly connected routes in the OSPF process. Route redistribution is also supported between OSPF Routing process IDs. To add redistributing routes, use the following command. • Specify which routes are redistributed into the OSPF process.
When you enable the helper-reject role on an interface using the ipv6 ospf graceful-restart helper-reject command, you reconfigure OSPFv3 graceful restart to function in a restarting-only role. OSPFv3 does not participate in the graceful restart of a neighbor. NOTE: Enter the ipv6 ospf graceful-restart helper-reject command in Interface configuration mode. • Enable OSPFv3 graceful restart globally by setting the grace period (in seconds).

• Transport mode — encrypts only the data portion (payload) of each packet, but leaves the header untouched. • Tunnel mode — is more secure and encrypts both the header and payload. On the receiving side, an IPsec-compliant device decrypts each packet. NOTE: The Dell Networking OS supports only Transport Encryption mode in OSPFv3 authentication with IPsec.
– ESP with non-null encryption is supported for full confidentiality. – 3DES, DES, AES-CBC, and NULL encryption algorithms are supported; encrypted and unencrypted keys are supported. NOTE: To encrypt all keys on a router, use the service password-encryption command in Global Configuration mode. However, this command does not provide a high level of network security.
NOTE: When you configure encryption using the ipv6 ospf encryption ipsec command, you enable both IPsec encryption and authentication. However, when you enable authentication on an interface using the ipv6 ospf authentication ipsec command, you do not enable encryption at the same time. The SPI value must be unique to one IPsec security policy (authentication or encryption) on the router. Configure the same authentication policy (the same SPI and key) on each OSPFv3 interface in a link.
– area area-id: specifies the area for which OSPFv3 traffic is to be authenticated. For area-id, enter a number or an IPv6 prefix. – spi number: is the SPI value. The range is from 256 to 4294967295. – MD5 | SHA1: specifies the authentication type: message digest 5 (MD5) or Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1). – key-encryption-type: (optional) specifies if the key is encrypted. The valid values are 0 (key is not encrypted) or 7 (key is encrypted). • • – key: specifies the text string used in authentication.
• Display the configuration of IPsec encryption policies on the router. show crypto ipsec policy Displaying OSPFv3 IPsec Security Policies To display the configuration of IPsec authentication and encryption policies, use the following commands. • Display the AH and ESP parameters configured in IPsec security policies, including the SPI number, key, and algorithms used.

37 Policy-based Routing (PBR) Dell Networking OS supports policy-based routing.
To enable a PBR, you create a Redirect List. Redirect lists are defined by rules, or routing policies.
Interfaces in this case). It allows you to backup Indirect Next-hop with another, choose the specific Indirect Next-hop and/or Tunnel Interface which is available by sending ICMP pings to verify reach ability and/or check the Tunnel Interface UP or DOWN status, and then route traffic out to the next-hop and/or Tunnel Interface.
Use the following command in CONFIGURATION REDIRECT-LIST mode to set the rules for the redirect list. You can enter the command multiple times and create a sequence of redirect rules. Use the seq nn redirect version of the command to organize your rules. 1 Configure a rule for the redirect list.
Applied interfaces: None Multiple rules can be applied to a single redirect-list. The rules are applied in ascending order, starting with the rule that has the lowest sequence number in a redirect-list displays the correct method for applying multiple rules to one list.
Use the following command inINTERFACE mode to apply a redirect list to an interface. Multiple redirect-lists can be applied to a redirectgroup. It is also possible to create two or more redirect-groups on one interface for backup purposes. 1 Apply a redirect list (policy-based routing) to an interface. INTERFACE mode ip redirect-group redirect-list-name redirect-list-name is the name of a redirect list to apply to this interface.

NOTE: You can apply the layer2–switch option to redirect Layer2 traffic only on a VLAN interface. This VLAN interface must be configured with an IP address for ARP resolution. The Layer2 PBR option matches the layer2 traffic flow.
Sample Configuration The following configuration is an example for setting up a PBR. These are not comprehensive directions. They are intended to give you a some guidance with typical configurations. You can copy and paste from these examples to your CLI. Be sure you make the necessary changes to support your own IP Addresses, Interfaces, Names, etc.

38 PIM Sparse-Mode (PIM-SM) Dell Networking OS supports protocol-independent multicast sparse-mode (PIM-SM). PIM-SM is a multicast protocol that forwards multicast traffic to a subnet only after a request using a PIM Join message; this behavior is the opposite of PIM-Dense mode, which forwards multicast traffic to all subnets until a request to stop.
1 After receiving an IGMP Join message, the receiver gateway router (last-hop DR) creates a (*,G) entry in its multicast routing table for the requested group. The interface on which the join message was received becomes the outgoing interface associated with the (*,G) entry. 2 The last-hop DR sends a PIM Join message to the RP.
Configuring PIM-SM Configuring PIM-SM is a three-step process. 1 Enable multicast routing (refer to the following step). 2 Select a rendezvous point. 3 Enable PIM-SM on an interface. Enable multicast routing. CONFIGURATION mode ip multicast-routing Related Configuration Tasks The following are related PIM-SM configuration tasks.

Dell#show ip pim rp mapping PIM Group-to-RP Mappings Group(s): 224.0.0.
CONFIGURATION mode ip pim graceful-restart nsf – (option) restart-time: the time the Dell Networking system requires to restart. The default value is 180 seconds. – (option) stale-entry-time: the maximum amount of time that the Dell Networking system preserves entries from a restarting neighbor. The default value is 60 seconds. – (option) helper-only: this mode takes precedence over any graceful restart configuration.
39 PIM Source-Specific Mode (PIM-SSM) Dell Networking OS supports PIM source-specific mode (PIM-SSM). PIM-SSM is a multicast protocol that forwards multicast traffic from a single source to a subnet. In the other versions of protocol independent multicast (PIM), a receiver subscribes to a group only. The receiver receives traffic not just from the source in which it is interested but from all sources sending to that group.
Important Points to Remember • The default SSM range is 232/8 always. Applying an SSM range does not overwrite the default range. Both the default range and SSM range are effective even when the default range is not added to the SSM ACL. • Extended ACLs cannot be used for configuring SSM range. Be sure to create the ACL first and then apply it to the SSM range. • The default range is always supported, so range can never be smaller than the default.
To display the list of sources mapped to a group currently in the IGMP group table, use the show ip igmp groups group detail command. Configuring PIM-SSM with IGMPv2 R1(conf)#do show run pim ! ip pim rp-address 10.11.12.2 group-address 224.0.0.0/4 ip pim ssm-range ssm R1(conf)#do show run acl ! ip access-list standard map seq 5 permit host 239.0.0.2 ! ip access-list standard ssm seq 5 permit host 239.0.0.2 R1(conf)#ip igmp ssm-map map 10.11.5.
Electing an RP using the BSR Mechanism Every PIM router within a domain must map a particular multicast group address to the same RP. The group-to-RP mapping may be statically or dynamically configured. RFC 5059 specifies a dynamic, self-configuring method called the Bootstrap Router (BSR) mechanism, by which an RP is elected from a pool of RP candidates (C-RPs). Some routers within the domain are configured to be C-RPs.
This system is a candidate BSR Candidate BSR address: 7.7.7.
40 Port Monitoring Port monitoring is supported on the MXL switch platform. Mirroring is used for monitoring Ingress or Egress or both Ingress and Egress traffic on a specific port(s). This mirrored traffic can be sent to a port where a network sniffer can connect and monitor the traffic.

Figure 106. Remote Port Mirroring Example Configuring Remote Port Mirroring Remote port mirroring requires a source session (monitored ports on different source switches), a reserved tagged VLAN for transporting mirrored traffic (configured on source, intermediate, and destination switches), and a destination session (destination ports connected to analyzers on destination switches).
• There is no restriction on the VLAN IDs used for the reserved remote-mirroring VLAN. Valid VLAN IDs are from 2 to 4094. The default VLAN ID is not supported. • In mirrored traffic, packets that have the same destination MAC address as an intermediate or destination switch in the path used by the reserved VLAN to transport the mirrored traffic are dropped by the switch that receives the traffic if the switch has a L3 VLAN configured.

Encapsulated Remote Port Monitoring Encapsulated Remote Port Monitoring (ERPM) copies traffic from source ports/port-channels or source VLANs and forwards the traffic using routable GRE-encapsulated packets to the destination IP address specified in the session. NOTE: When configuring ERPM, follow these guidelines • The Dell Networking OS supports ERPM source session only. Encapsulated packets terminate at the destination IP address or at the analyzer.

41 Private VLANs (PVLAN) Dell Networking OS supports private VLAN (PVLAN) feature. For syntax details about the commands described in this chapter, refer to the Private VLANs commands chapter in the Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide. Private VLANs extend the Dell Networking operating system (OS) security suite by providing Layer 2 isolation between ports within the same virtual local area network (VLAN).
• Community port — a port that belongs to a community VLAN and is allowed to communicate with other ports in the same community VLAN and with promiscuous ports. • Host port — in the context of a private VLAN, is a port in a secondary VLAN: – The port must first be assigned that role in INTERFACE mode. – A port assigned the host role cannot be added to a regular VLAN. • Isolated port — a port that, in Layer 2, can only communicate with promiscuous ports that are in the same PVLAN.
• Set the PVLAN mode of the selected port. INTERFACE switchport mode private-vlan {host | promiscuous | trunk} NOTE: Secondary VLANs are Layer 2 VLANs, so even if they are operationally down while primary VLANs are operationally up, Layer 3 traffic is still transmitted across secondary VLANs. NOTE: The outputs of the show arp and show vlan commands are augmented in the Dell Networking OS version 7.8.1.0 to provide PVLAN data.

ip local-proxy-arp NOTE: If a promiscuous or host port is untagged in a VLAN and it receives a tagged packet in the same VLAN, the packet is NOT dropped. Creating a Community VLAN A community VLAN is a secondary VLAN of the primary VLAN in a private VLAN. The ports in a community VLAN can talk to each other and with the promiscuous ports in the primary VLAN. 1 Access INTERFACE VLAN mode for the VLAN that you want to make a community VLAN. CONFIGURATION mode interface vlan vlan-id 2 Enable the VLAN.
tagged interface or untagged interface You can enter the interfaces singly or in range format, either comma-delimited (slot/port,port,port) or hyphenated (slot/ port-port). You can only add ports defined as host to the VLAN. Example of Configuring Private VLAN Members The following example shows the use of the PVLAN commands that are used in VLAN INTERFACE mode to configure the PVLAN member VLANs (primary, community, and isolated VLANs).
Private VLAN Configuration Example The following example shows a private VLAN topology. Figure 108. Sample Private VLAN Topology The following configuration is based on the example diagram for the FN IOM switch: • TenGig 0/0 and TenGig 0/23 are configured as promiscuous ports, assigned to the primary VLAN, VLAN 4000. • TenGig 0/25 is configured as a PVLAN trunk port, also assigned to the primary VLAN 4000.
NOTE: Even after you disable ip-local-proxy-arp (no ip-local-proxy-arp) in a secondary VLAN, Layer 3 communication may happen between some secondary VLAN hosts, until the ARP timeout happens on those secondary VLAN hosts. Inspecting the Private VLAN Configuration The standard methods of inspecting configurations also apply in PVLANs. To inspect your PVLAN configurations, use the following commands. • Display the specific interface configuration.

42 Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+) Dell Networking OS supports per-VLAN spanning tree plus (PVST+). Protocol Overview PVST+ is a variation of spanning tree — developed by a third party — that allows you to configure a separate spanning tree instance for each virtual local area network (VLAN). For more information about spanning tree, refer to the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) chapter. Figure 109.
Table 57. Spanning Tree Variations Dell Networking OS Supports Dell Networking Term IEEE Specification Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) 802 .1d Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) 802 .1w Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) 802 .1s Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+) Third Party Implementation Information • The Dell Networking OS implementation of PVST+ is based on IEEE Standard 802.1w. • The Dell Networking OS implementation of PVST+ uses IEEE 802.
no disable Disabling PVST+ To disable PVST+ globally or on an interface, use the following commands. • Disable PVST+ globally. PROTOCOL PVST mode disable • Disable PVST+ on an interface, or remove a PVST+ parameter configuration. INTERFACE mode no spanning-tree pvst Example of Viewing PVST+ Configuration To display your PVST+ configuration, use the show config command from PROTOCOL PVST mode.
Figure 110. Load Balancing with PVST+ The bridge with the bridge value for bridge priority is elected root. Because all bridges use the default priority (until configured otherwise), the lowest MAC address is used as a tie-breaker. To increase the likelihood that a bridge is selected as the STP root, assign bridges a low non-default value for bridge priority. To assign a bridge priority, use the following command. • Assign a bridge priority.
Current root has priority 32768, Address 001e.c9f1.00f3 Number of topology changes 2, last change occured 00:14:39 ago on Po 23 Port 24 (Port-channel 23) is designated Forwarding Port path cost 1600, Port priority 128, Port Identifier 128.24 Designated root has priority 32768, address 001e.c9f1.00:f3 Designated bridge has priority 32768, address 001e.c9f1.00:f3 Designated port id is 128.
PROTOCOL PVST mode vlan max-age The range is from 6 to 40. The default is 20 seconds. The values for global PVST+ parameters are given in the output of the show spanning-tree pvst command. Modifying Interface PVST+ Parameters You can adjust two interface parameters (port cost and port priority) to increase or decrease the probability that a port becomes a forwarding port. • Port cost — a value that is based on the interface type.
The values for interface PVST+ parameters are given in the output of the show spanning-tree pvst command, as previously shown. Configuring an EdgePort The EdgePort feature enables interfaces to begin forwarding traffic approximately 30 seconds sooner. In this mode an interface forwards frames by default until it receives a BPDU that indicates that it should behave otherwise; it does not go through the Learning and Listening states.

43 Quality of Service (QoS) Dell Networking OS supports quality of service (QoS). Differentiated service is accomplished by classifying and queuing traffic, and assigning priorities to those queues. The switch traffic has four data queues per port. All queues are serviced using the Weighted Round Robin scheduling algorithm. You can only manage prioritize queuing on egress.
Feature Direction Honoring dot1p Values on Ingress Packets Ingress Create Output Policy Maps Egress Specify an Aggregate QoS Policy Egress QoS Rate Adjustment Strict-Priority Queueing Weighted Random Early Detection Egress Create WRED Profiles Egress Figure 113.
Implementation Information The Dell Networking QoS implementation complies with IEEE 802.1p User Priority Bits for QoS Indication.
Example of Configuring a dot1p Priority on an Interface NOTE: The dot1p-priority command marks all incoming traffic on an interface with a specified dot1p priority and maps all incoming traffic to the corresponding queue. When you enable PFC and/or ETS on an interface, incoming traffic with a specified dot1p priority can be distributed across different queues.
Configuring Port-Based Rate Policing If the interface is a member of a VLAN, you may specify the VLAN for which ingress packets are policed. • Rate policing ingress traffic on an interface.
• Because this functionality forcibly marks all the packets matching the specific match criteria as ‘yellow’, Dell EMC Networking OS does not support Policer based coloring and this feature concurrently. • If single rate two color policer is configured along with this feature, then by default all packets less than PIR would be considered as “Green” But ‘Green’ packets matching the specific match criteria for which ‘color-marking’ is configured will be over-written and marked as “Yellow”.
3 Attach the policy-map to the interface. Dell EMC Networking OS support different types of match qualifiers to classify the incoming traffic. Match qualifiers can be directly configured in the class-map command or it can be specified through one or more ACL which in turn specifies the combination of match qualifiers. Until Release 9.3(0.0), support is available for classifying traffic based on the 6-bit DSCP field of the IPv4 packet.
By default, all packets are considered as ‘green’ (without the rate-policer and trust-diffserve configuration) and hence support would be provided to mark the packets as ‘yellow’ alone will be provided. By default Dell EMC Networking OS drops all the ‘RED’ or ‘violate’ packets.

Policy-Based QoS Configurations Policy-based QoS configurations consist of the components shown in the following example. Figure 114. Constructing Policy-Based QoS Configurations DSCP Color Maps This section describes how to configure color maps and how to display the color map and color map configuration.
Creating a DSCP Color Map You can create a DSCP color map to outline the differentiated services codepoint (DSCP) mappings to the appropriate color mapping (green, yellow, red) for the input traffic. The system uses this information to classify input traffic on an interface based on the DSCP value of each packet and assigns it an initial drop precedence of green, yellow, or red The default setting for each DSCP value (0-63) is green (low drop precedence).
Examples for Creating a DSCP Color Map Display all DSCP color maps. DellEMC# show qos dscp-color-map Dscp-color-map mapONE yellow 4,7 red 20,30 Dscp-color-map mapTWO yellow 16,55 Display a specific DSCP color map.

class-map match-any 2 Create a match-all class map. CONFIGURATION mode class-map match-all 3 Specify your match criteria. CLASS MAP mode match ip After you create a class-map, the Dell Networking OS places you in CLASS MAP mode. Match-any class maps allow up to five ACLs. Match-all class-maps allow only one ACL. 4 Link the class-map to a queue.

Traffic matching the first match criteria is classified to Queue 1, but all other traffic is classified to Queue 0 as a result of CAM entry 20419.
Configuring Policy-Based Rate Policing To configure policy-based rate policing, use the following command. • Configure rate police ingress traffic. QOS-POLICY-IN mode rate-police Setting a DSCP Value for Egress Packets Set the DSCP value for egress packets based on ingress QOS classification. The 6 bits that are used for DSCP are also used to identify the queue in which traffic is buffered.
Configuring Policy-Based Rate Shaping To configure policy-based rate shaping, use the following command. • Configure rate shape egress traffic. QOS-POLICY-OUT mode rate-shape Allocating Bandwidth to Queue The Dell Networking recommends pre-calculating your bandwidth requirements before creating them. Make sure you apply the QoS policy to all the four queues and that the sum of the bandwidths allocated through them is exactly 100.

QOS-POLICY-OUT mode wred For more information, refer to Applying a WRED Profile to Traffic. Create Policy Maps There are two types of policy maps: input and output. Creating Input Policy Maps There are two types of input policy-maps: Layer 3 and Layer 2. 1 Create a Layer 3 input policy map.
Applying an Input QoS Policy to an Input Policy Map To apply an input QoS policy to an input policy map, use the following command. • Apply an input QoS policy to an input policy map. POLICY-MAP-IN mode policy-aggregate Honoring DSCP Values on Ingress Packets The Dell Networking OS provides the ability to honor DSCP values on ingress packets using Trust DSCP feature. . The following table lists the standard DSCP definitions and indicates to which queues the Dell Networking OS maps DSCP values.

1 Match packets against match-any qos-AF4. If a match exists, queue the packet as AF4 in Queue 4, and if no match exists, go to the next class map. 2 Match packets against match-any qos-AF3. If a match exists, queue the packet as AF3 in Queue 3, and if no match exists, go to the next class map. 3 Match packets against match-all qos-BE1. If a match exists, queue the packet as BE1, and if no match exists, queue the packets to the default queue, Queue 0.
• Apply an input policy map to an interface. INTERFACE mode service-policy input Specify the keyword layer2 if the policy map you are applying a Layer 2 policy map; in this case, INTERFACE mode must be in Switchport mode. Creating Output Policy Maps 1 Create an output policy map.
Enabling QoS Rate Adjustment By default, while rate limiting, policing, and shaping, the Dell Networking OS does not include the Preamble, SFD, or the IFG fields. These fields are overhead; only the fields from MAC destination address to the CRC are used for forwarding and are included in these rate metering calculations.
threshold is reached (as shown in the following illustration); this procedure is the early detection part of WRED. If the maximum threshold, for example, 2000KB, is reached, all incoming packets are dropped until the buffer space consumes less than 2000KB of the specified traffic. Figure 115. Packet Drop Rate for WRED You can create a custom WRED profile or use one of the five pre-defined profiles. Table 63.
Applying a WRED Profile to Traffic After you create a WRED profile, you must specify to which traffic the system should apply the profile. The Dell Networking OS assigns a color (also called drop precedence) — red, yellow, or green — to each packet based on it DSCP value before queuing it. DSCP is a 6–bit field. Dell Networking uses the first 3 bits of this field (DP) to determine the drop precedence. • DP values of 110, 100, and 101 map to yellow; all other values map to green.
Displaying egress-queue Statistics To display egress-queue statistics of both transmitted and dropped packets and bytes, use the following command. • Display the number of packets and number of bytes on the egress-queue profile.

44 Routing Information Protocol (RIP) The routing information protocol (RIP) is based on a distance-vector algorithm and tracks distances or hop counts to nearby routers when establishing network connections. RIP protocol standards are listed in the Standards Compliance chapter. Topics: • Protocol Overview • Implementation Information • Configuration Information Protocol Overview RIP is the oldest interior gateway protocol.
Table 64. RIP Defaults Feature Default Interfaces running RIP • • Listen to RIPv1 and RIPv2 Transmit RIPv1 RIP timers • • • • update timer = 30 seconds invalid timer = 180 seconds holddown timer = 180 seconds flush timer = 240 seconds Auto summarization Enabled ECMP paths supported 16 Configuration Information By default, RIP is disabled in the system. To configure RIP, you must use commands in two modes: ROUTER RIP and INTERFACE.
network ip-address Example of Verifying RIP is Enabled Example of Viewing Learned RIP Routes After designating networks with which the system is to exchange RIP information, ensure that all devices on that network are configured to exchange RIP information. The Dell Networking OS default is to send RIPv1 and to receive RIPv1 and RIPv2. To change the RIP version globally, use the version command in ROUTER RIP mode.
Assign IP addresses to interfaces that are part of the same subnet as the RIP network identified in the network command syntax. Controlling RIP Routing Updates By default, RIP broadcasts routing information out all enabled interfaces, but you can configure RIP to send or to block RIP routing information, either from a specific IP address or a specific interface.
Assigning a Prefix List to RIP Routes Another method of controlling RIP (or any routing protocol) routing information is to filter the information through a prefix list. A prefix list is applied to incoming or outgoing routes. Those routes must meet the conditions of the prefix list; if not, the system drops the route. Prefix lists are globally applied on all interfaces running RIP. Configure the prefix list in PREFIX LIST mode prior to assigning it to the RIP process.
The following example shows the RIP configuration after the ROUTER RIP mode version command is set to RIPv2. When you set the ROUTER RIP mode version command, the interface (GigabitEthernet 0/0) participating in the RIP process is also set to send and receive RIPv2 (shown in bold).
• Specify the generation of a default route in RIP. ROUTER RIP mode default-information originate [always] [metric value] [route-map route-map-name] – always: Enter the keyword always to always generate a default route. – value The range is from 1 to 16. – route-map-name: The name of a configured route map. To confirm that the default route configuration is completed, use the show config command in ROUTER RIP mode.
– prefix-list-name: the name of an established Prefix list to determine which incoming routes are modified – offset: the range is from 0 to 16. – interface: the type, slot, and number of an interface. To view the configuration changes, use the show config command in ROUTER RIP mode. Debugging RIP The debug ip rip command enables RIP debugging. When you enable debugging, you can view information on RIP protocol changes or RIP routes. To enable RIP debugging, use the following command.
RIP Configuration on Core2 The following example shows how to configure RIPv2 on a host named Core2.

45 Remote Monitoring (RMON) RMON is an industry-standard implementation that monitors network traffic by sharing network monitoring information. RMON provides both 32-bit and 64-bit monitoring facility and long-term statistics collection on Dell Networking Ethernet interfaces. RMON operates with the simple network management protocol (SNMP) and monitors all nodes on a local area network (LAN) segment. RMON monitors traffic passing through the router and segment traffic not destined for the router.
Setting the rmon Alarm To set an alarm on any MIB object, use the rmon alarm or rmon hc-alarm command in GLOBAL CONFIGURATION mode. • Set an alarm on any MIB object.
Configuring an RMON Event To add an event in the RMON event table, use the rmon event command in GLOBAL CONFIGURATION mode. • Add an event in the RMON event table. CONFIGURATION mode [no] rmon event number [log] [trap community] [description string] [owner string] – number: assigned event number, which is identical to the eventIndex in the eventTable in the RMON MIB. The value must be an integer from 1 to 65,535 and be unique in the RMON Event Table.
Configuring the RMON Collection History To enable the RMON MIB history group of statistics collection on an interface, use the rmon collection history command in INTERFACE CONFIGURATION mode. • Configure the RMON MIB history group of statistics collection. CONFIGURATION INTERFACE (config-if) mode [no] rmon collection history {controlEntry integer} [owner owner-string] [buckets bucketnumber] [interval seconds] – controlEntry: specifies the RMON group of statistics using a value.
46 Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) Dell Networking OS supports rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP). Protocol Overview RSTP is a Layer 2 protocol — specified by IEEE 802.1w — that is essentially the same as spanning-tree protocol (STP) but provides faster convergence and interoperability with switches configured with STP and multiple spanning tree protocol (MSTP). The Dell operating system (OS) supports three other variations of spanning tree, as shown in the following table. Table 65.
• The Dell Networking OS supports only one Rapid Spanning Tree (RST) instance. • All interfaces in virtual local area networks (VLANs) and all enabled interfaces in Layer 2 mode are automatically added to the RST topology. • Adding a group of ports to a range of VLANs sends multiple messages to the rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP) task, avoid using the range command. When using the range command, Dell Networking recommends limiting the range to five ports and 40 VLANs.
To verify that RSTP is enabled, use the show config command from PROTOCOL SPANNING TREE RSTP mode. The bold line indicates that RSTP is enabled. Example of Verifying that RSTP is Enabled Dell(conf-rstp)#show config ! protocol spanning-tree rstp no disable Dell(conf-rstp)# Figure 117. Rapid Spanning Tree Enabled Globally To view the interfaces participating in RSTP, use the show spanning-tree rstp command from EXEC privilege mode.
The port is not in the Edge port mode, bpdu filter is disabled Port 378 (TenGigabitethernet 2/2) is designated Forwarding Port path cost 20000, Port priority 128, Port Identifier 128.378 Designated root has priority 32768, address 0001.e801.cbb4 Designated bridge has priority 32768, address 0001.e801.cbb4 Designated port id is 128.
For bridge protocol data units (BPDU) filtering behavior, refer to Removing an Interface from the Spanning Tree Group. Modifying Global Parameters You can modify RSTP parameters. The root bridge sets the values for forward-delay, hello-time, and max-age and overwrites the values set on other bridges participating in the Rapid Spanning Tree group. • Forward-delay — the amount of time an interface waits in the Listening state and the Learning state before it transitions to the Forwarding state.
PROTOCOL SPANNING TREE RSTP mode max-age seconds The range is from 6 to 40. The default is 20 seconds. To view the current values for global parameters, use the show spanning-tree rstp command from EXEC privilege mode. Enable BPDU Filtering Globally The enabling of BPDU Filtering stops transmitting of BPDUs on the operational port fast enabled ports by default. When BPDUs are received, the spanning tree is automatically prepared. By default global bpdu filtering is disabled.
spanning-tree rstp cost cost The range is from 0 to 65535. • The default is listed in the previous table. Change the port priority of an interface. INTERFACE mode spanning-tree rstp priority priority-value The range is from 0 to 240. The default is 128. To view the current values for interface parameters, use the show spanning-tree rstp command from EXEC privilege mode. Configuring an EdgePort The EdgePort feature enables interfaces to begin forwarding traffic approximately 30 seconds sooner.
no ip address switchport spanning-tree rstp edge-port shutdown Dell(conf-if-te-2/0)# Influencing RSTP Root Selection RSTP determines the root bridge, but you can assign one bridge a lower priority to increase the likelihood that it is selected as the root bridge. To change the bridge priority, use the following command. • Assign a number as the bridge priority or designate it as the primary or secondary root.
We are the root Configured hello time 50 ms, max age 20, forward delay 15 NOTE: The hello time is encoded in BPDUs in increments of 1/256ths of a second. The standard minimum hello time in seconds is 1 second, which is encoded as 256. Millisecond. hello times are encoded using values less than 256; the millisecond hello time equals (x/1000)*256. When you configure millisecond hellos, the default hello interval of 2 seconds is still used for edge ports; the millisecond hello interval is not used.
47 Security Security features are supported on the MXL switch platform. This chapter describes several ways to provide access security to the Dell Networking system. For details about all the commands described in this chapter, refer to the Security chapter in the Dell Networking OS Command Reference Guide.
Enabling AAA Accounting The aaa accounting command allows you to create a record for any or all of the accounting functions monitored. To enable AAA accounting, use the following command. • Enable AAA accounting and create a record for monitoring the accounting function.
Example of Configuring AAA Accounting to Track EXEC and EXEC Privilege Level Command Use In the following sample configuration, AAA accounting is set to track all usage of EXEC commands and commands on privilege level 15.
NOTE: In RADIUS accounting, fallback behavior among RADIUS and TACACS servers is not supported as the RADIUS accounting feature is not available in Dell EMC Networking OS version earlier than 9.14.1.5. In VLT domain, the NAS sends the RADIUS Accounting Request packets only if the NAS is configured as a VLT primary peer. Configure RADIUS Accounting The NAS monitors the accounting functions defined in the RADIUS Accounting attribute/value (AV) pairs.

of authentication methods, called method lists, to define the types of authentication and the sequence in which they are applied. You can define a method list or use the default method list. User-defined method lists take precedence over the default method list. NOTE: If a console user logs in with RADIUS authentication, the privilege level is applied from the RADIUS server if the privilege level is configured for that user in RADIUS, whether you configure RADIUS authorization.
line {aux 0 | console 0 | vty number [... end-number]} 3 Assign a method-list-name or the default list to the terminal line. LINE mode login authentication {method-list-name | default} To view the configuration, use the show config command in LINE mode or the show running-config in EXEC Privilege mode. NOTE: Dell Networking recommends using the none method only as a backup. This method does not authenticate users. The none and enable methods do not work with secure shell (SSH).
To use local authentication for enable secret or enable sha256-password on the console, while using remote authentication on VTY lines, issue the following commands. The following example shows enabling local authentication for console and remote authentication for the VTY lines.
Example: DellEMC(config)#radius-server host 192.100.0.12 Force all logged-in users to re-authenticate (y/n)? DellEMC(config)#no radius-server host 192.100.0.12 Force all logged-in users to re-authenticate (y/n)? AAA Authorization The Dell Networking OS enables AAA new-model by default. You can set authorization to be either local or remote. Different combinations of authentication and authorization yield different results. By default, the system sets both to local.
For a complete listing of all commands related to privilege levels and passwords, refer to the Security chapter in the Dell Networking OS Command Reference Guide. Configuring a Username and Password In the Dell Networking OS, you can assign a specific username to limit user access to the system. To configure a username and password, use the following command. • Assign a user name and password.
Configuring Custom Privilege Levels In addition to assigning privilege levels to the user, you can configure the privilege levels of commands so that they are visible in different privilege levels. Within the Dell Networking OS, commands have certain privilege levels. With the privilege command, you can change the default level or you can reset their privilege level back to the default. Assign the launch keyword (for example, configure) for the keyword’s command mode.
The following example shows a configuration to allow a user john to view only EXEC mode commands and all snmp-server commands. Because the snmp-server commands are enable level commands and, by default, found in CONFIGURATION mode, also assign the launch command for CONFIGURATION mode, configure, to the same privilege level as the snmp-server commands. Line 1: The user john is assigned privilege level 8 and assigned a password. Line 2: All other users are assigned a password to access privilege level 8.
LINE mode privilege level level • – level level: The range is from 0 to 15. Levels 0, 1, and 15 are pre-configured. Levels 2 to 14 are available for custom configuration. Specify either a plain text or encrypted password. LINE mode password [encryption-type] password Configure the following optional and required parameters: – encryption-type: Enter 0 for plain text or 7 for encrypted text. – password: Enter a text string up to 25 characters long.
RADIUS Authentication and Authorization The Dell Networking OS supports RADIUS for user authentication (text password) at login and can be specified as one of the login authentication methods in the aaa authentication login command. When configuring AAA authorization, you can configure to limit the attributes of services available to a user. When you enable authorization, the network access server uses configuration information from the user profile to issue the user's session.
Setting Access to Privilege Levels through RADIUS To configure a privilege level for the user to enter into when they connect to a session, use the following command. Configure a privilege level for the user to enter into when they connect to a session through the RADIUS server. privilege level Configure this value on the client system.
Applying the Method List to Terminal Lines To enable RADIUS AAA login authentication for a method list, apply it to a terminal line. To configure a terminal line for RADIUS authentication and authorization, use the following commands. • Enter LINE mode. CONFIGURATION mode line {aux 0 | console 0 | vty number [end-number]} • Enable AAA login authentication for the specified RADIUS method list.
Setting Global Communication Parameters for all RADIUS Server Hosts You can configure global communication parameters (auth-port, key, retransmit, and timeout parameters) and specific host communication parameters on the same system. However, if you configure both global and specific host parameters, the specific host parameters override the global parameters for that RADIUS server host. To set global communication parameters for all RADIUS server hosts, use the following commands.
MS-CHAPv2 is secure than PAP. MS-CHAPv2 does not send user-password in the Access-Request message. It implements mutual authentication based on the random challenges. MS-CHAP-Challenge and MS-CHAP2-Response attributes are sent in the AccessRequest message from the switch to the RADIUS Server. RADIUS Server validates the attributes and sends back MS-CHAPv2-Success attribute in the Access-Accept message. If the validation fails, then RADIUS Server sends back the Access-Reject Message.
Disconnect Messages Using the Disconnect Messages, the NAS can disconnect AAA and dot1x sessions. NAS can disconnect AAA sessions using either username or a combination of the username and session id. NAS can disconnect dot1x sessions using NAS-port, or calling-station ID, or both. The disconnect messages constitue one message request (DM request) and one of the following two possible responses: • Disconnect Acknowledgement (DM-Ack) - If the session is disconnected successfully, then NAS sends a DM-Ack.

CoA Packet Processing This section lists various actions that the NAS performs during CoA packet processing. The following activities are performed by NAS: • responds with CoA-Nak, if no matching session is found for the session identification attributes in CoA; Error-Cause value is “Session Context Not Found” (503). • responds with CoA-Nak, for any internal processing error in NAS; Error-Cause value is “Resources Unavailable” (506).
– 16 Zero Octets – Request Attributes – Shared secret (based on the source IP address of the packet) • discards the packets, if the message-authenticator received in the request is invalid. The message-authenticator is calculated using the following fields: – Code Type – Identifier – Length – Request Authenticator – Attributes Disconnect Message Processing This section lists various actions that the NAS performs during DM processing.
The range for the port number value that you can specify is from 1 to 65535. Dell(conf-dynamic-auth#)port 2000 Configuring shared key You can configure a global shared key for the dynamic authorization clients (DACs).
When DAC initiates a port bounce operation, the NAS server causes the links on the authentication port to flap. This incident in turn triggers re-negotiation on one of the ports that is flapped. 1 Enter the following command to configure the dynamic authorization feature: radius dynamic-auth 2 Enter the following command to configure port-bounce setttings on a 802.1x enabled port: coa-bounce-port NAS disables the authentication port that is hosting the session and re-enables it after 10 seconds.
• sends a CoA-Nak with an error-cause value of 506 (resource unavailable), if it is unable to initiate the re-authentication process. • sends a CoA-Nak if user authentication fails due to unresponsive supplicant or RADIUS server. • sends a CoA-Ack, if the user is configured with static MAB profile. • discards the packet, if simultaneous requests are received for the same calling-station-id or NAS-port or both.
To initiate shutting down of the 802.1x enabled port, the DAC sends a standard CoA request that contains one or more session identification attributes. NAS uses the NAS-port attributes to identify the 802.1x enabled physical port. 1 Enter the following command to configure the dynamic authorization feature: radius dynamic-auth 2 Enter the following command to disable the 802.1x enabled physical port: coa-disable-port NAS administratively shuts down the 802.1x enabled port that is hosting the session.
Configuring replay protection NAS enables you to configure the replay protection window period. NAS drops the packets if duplicate packets are received within replay protection window period. The default value is 5 minutes. Enter the following command to configure replay protection: replay-prot-window minutes NAS considers the new replay protection window value from next window period. The range is from 1 to 10 minutes. The default is 5 minutes.

Enable SSH using the ip ssh server enable command.
Using RSA Authentication of SSH The following procedure authenticates an SSH client based on an RSA key using RSA authentication. This method uses SSH version 2. 1 On the SSH client (Unix machine), generate an RSA key, as shown in the following example. 2 Copy the public key id_rsa.pub to the Dell Networking system. 3 Disable password authentication if enabled. CONFIGURATION mode no ip ssh password-authentication enable 4 Enable RSA authentication in SSH.

If the IP address in the RSA key does not match the IP address from which you attempt to log in, the following message appears. In this case, verify that the name and IP address of the client is contained in the file /etc/hosts: RSA Authentication Error. Telnet To use Telnet with SSH, first enable SSH, as previously described. By default, the Telnet daemon is enabled. If you want to disable the Telnet daemon, use the following command, or disable Telnet in the startup config.
NOTE: If a VTY user logs in with RADIUS authentication, the privilege level is applied from the RADIUS server only if you configure RADIUS authentication. The following example shows how to allow or deny a Telnet connection to a user. Users see a login prompt even if they cannot log in. No access class is configured for the VTY line. It defaults from the local database. NOTE: For more information, refer to Access Control Lists (ACLs).
Dell(config-line-vty)#access-class sourcemac Dell(config-line-vty)#end Role-Based Access Control With Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), access and authorization is controlled based on a user’s role. Users are granted permissions based on their user roles, not on their individual user ID. User roles are created for job functions and through those roles they acquire the permissions to perform their associated job function.
NOTE: When you enter a user role, you have already been authenticated and authorized. You do not need to enter an enable password because you will be automatically placed in EXEC Priv mode. For greater security, the ability to view event, audit, and security system log is associated with user roles. For information about these topics, see Audit and Security Logs.
exec-timeout 0 0 line vty 0 login authentication test authorization exec test line vty 1 login authentication test authorization exec test To enable role-based only AAA authorization, enter the following command in Configuration mode: DellEMC(conf)#aaa authorization role-only System-Defined RBAC User Roles By default, the Dell EMC Networking OS provides 4 system defined user roles. You can create up to 8 additional user roles. NOTE: You cannot delete any system defined roles.
Creating a New User Role Instead of using the system defined user roles, you can create a new user role that best matches your organization. When you create a new user role, you can first inherit permissions from one of the system defined roles. Otherwise you would have to create a user role’s command permissions from scratch. You then restrict commands or add commands to that role NOTE: You can change user role permissions on system pre-defined user roles or user-defined user roles.
Modifying Command Permissions for Roles You can modify (add or delete) command permissions for newly created user roles and system defined roles using the role mode { { { addrole | deleterole } role-name } | reset } command command in Configuration mode. NOTE: You cannot modify system administrator command permissions. If you add or delete command permissions using the role command, those changes only apply to the specific user role. They do not apply to other roles that have inheritance from that role.
DellEMC(conf)#show role mode configure interface Role access: netadmin, secadmin, sysadmin Example: Verify that the Security Administrator Can Access Interface Mode The following example shows that the secadmin role can now access Interface mode (highlighted in bold).
The following example deletes a user role. NOTE: If you already have a user ID that exists with a privilege level, you can add the user role to username that has a privilege DellEMC(conf)# no username john The following example adds a user, to the secadmin user role. DellEMC(conf)# username john role secadmin password 0 password AAA Authentication and Authorization for Roles This section describes how to configure AAA Authentication and Authorization for Roles.
To configure AAA authorization, use the aaa authorization exec command in CONFIGURATION mode. The aaa authorization exec command determines which CLI mode the user will start in for their session; for example, Exec mode or Exec Privilege mode. For information about how to configure authentication for roles, see Configure AAA Authentication for Roles.

The output displays the user role and or permission level.
• If the credentials are invalid, the authentication fails. NOTE: 2FA does not support RADIUS authentications done with SSHv1, REST, Web UI, and OMI. Handling Access-Challenge Message To provide a two-step verification in addition to the username and password, NAS prompts for additional information. An Access-Challenge request is sent from the RADIUS server to NAS.
This module requires NAS for handling the access challenge from the RADIUS server. NAS sends the input OTP in an Access-Request to the RADIUS server, and the user authentication succeeds or fails depending upon the Access-Accept or Access-Reject response received at NAS from the RADIUS server. Configuring the System to Drop Certain ICMP Reply Messages You can configure the Dell Networking OS to drop ICMP reply messages.

Important Points to Remember • The OS image verification feature is disabled by default on the Dell EMC Networking OS. • The OS image verification feature is supported for images stored in the local system only. • The OS image verification feature is not supported when the fastboot or the warmboot features are enabled on the system. • If OS image verification fails after a reload, the system does not load the startup configuration.
Startup Configuration Verification Dell EMC Networking OS comes with startup configuration verification feature. When enabled, it checks the integrity of the startup configuration that the system uses while the system reboots and loads only if it is intact. Important Points to Remember • The startup configuration verification feature is disabled by default on the Dell EMC Networking OS. • The feature is supported for startup configuration files stored in the local system only.
After enabling and configuring startup configuration verification, the device verifies the hash checksum of the startup configuration during every reload. DellEMC# verified boot hash startup—config 619A8C1B7A2BC9692A221E2151B9DA9E Configuring the root User Password For added security, you can change the root user password. If you configure the secure-cli command on the system, the Dell EMC Networking OS resets any previously-configured root access password without displaying any warning message.
48 Service Provider Bridging Dell Networking OS supports service provider bridging. VLAN Stacking VLAN stacking, also called Q-in-Q, is defined in IEEE 802.1ad — Provider Bridges, which is an amendment to IEEE 802.1Q — Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks. VLAN stacking enables service providers to use 802.1Q architecture to offer separate VLANs to customers with no coordination between customers, and minimal coordination between customers and the provider. Using only 802.
Figure 119. VLAN Stacking in a Service Provider Network Important Points to Remember • Interfaces that are members of the Default VLAN and are configured as VLAN-Stack access or trunk ports do not switch untagged traffic. To switch traffic, add these interfaces to a non-default VLAN-Stack-enabled VLAN. • Dell Networking cautions against using the same MAC address on different customer VLANs, on the same VLAN-Stack VLAN. Configure VLAN Stacking Configuring VLAN-Stacking is a three-step process.
Related Configuration Tasks • Configuring the Protocol Type Value for the Outer VLAN Tag • Configuring Options for Trunk Ports • Debugging VLAN Stacking • VLAN Stacking in Multi-Vendor Networks Creating Access and Trunk Ports To create access and trunk ports, use the following commands. • Access port — a port on the service provider edge that directly connects to the customer. An access port may belong to only one service provider VLAN.
INTERFACE VLAN mode vlan-stack compatible Example of Viewing VLAN Stack Member Status To display the status and members of a VLAN, use the show vlan command from EXEC Privilege mode. Members of a VLAN-Stackingenabled VLAN are marked with an M in column Q.
Example of Configuring a Trunk Port as a Hybrid Port and Adding it to Stacked VLANs In the following example, GigabitEthernet 0/1 is a trunk port that is configured as a hybrid port and then added to VLAN 100 as untagged VLAN 101 as tagged, and VLAN 103, which is a stacking VLAN.
VLAN Stacking in Multi-Vendor Networks The first field in the VLAN tag is the tag protocol identifier (TPID), which is 2 bytes. In a VLAN-stacking network, after the frame is double tagged, the outer tag TPID must match the TPID of the next-hop system. While 802.1Q requires that the inner tag TPID is 0x8100, it does not require a specific value for the outer tag TPID.

Precedence Description Green High-priority packets that are the least preferred to be dropped. Yellow Lower-priority packets that are treated as best-effort. Red Lowest-priority packets that are always dropped (regardless of congestion status). • Honor the incoming DEI value by mapping it to the Dell Networking OS drop precedence. INTERFACE mode dei honor {0 | 1} {green | red | yellow} You may enter the command once for 0 and once for 1. Packets with an unmapped DEI value are colored green.
Dynamic Mode CoS for VLAN Stacking One of the ways to ensure quality of service for customer VLAN-tagged frames is to use the 802.1p priority bits in the tag to indicate the level of QoS desired. When an S-Tag is added to incoming customer frames, the 802.1p bits on the S-Tag may be configured statically for each customer or derived from the C-Tag using Dynamic Mode CoS. Dynamic Mode CoS maps the C-Tag 802.1p value to a S-Tag 802.1p value. Figure 123.
Likewise, in the following configuration, packets with dot1p priority 0–3 are marked as dot1p 7 in the outer tag and queued to Queue 3. Rate policing is according to qos-policy-input 3. All other packets will have outer dot1p 0 and hence are queued to Queue 1. They are therefore policed according to qos-policy-input 1.
Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling Spanning tree bridge protocol data units (BPDUs) use a reserved destination MAC address called the bridge group address, which is 01-80C2-00-00-00. Only spanning-tree bridges on the local area network (LAN) recognize this address and process the BPDU.
Dell Networking OS Behavior: In the Dell Networking OS versions prior to 8.2.1.0, the MAC address that Dell Networking systems use to overwrite the Bridge Group Address on ingress was non-configurable. The value of the L2PT MAC address was the Dell Networking-unique MAC address, 01-01-e8-00-00-00.
Enabling Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling To enable Layer 2 protocol tunneling, use the following command. 1 Verify that the system is running the default CAM profile. Use this CAM profile for L2PT. EXEC Privilege mode show cam-profile 2 Enable protocol tunneling globally on the system. CONFIGURATION mode protocol-tunnel enable 3 Tunnel BPDUs the VLAN.
4 Set a maximum rate at which the RPM processes BPDUs for L2PT. VLAN STACKING mode protocol-tunnel rate-limit The default is: no rate limiting. The range is from 64 to 320 kbps. Debugging Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling To debug Layer 2 protocol tunneling, use the following command. • Display debugging information for L2PT. EXEC Privilege mode debug protocol-tunnel Provider Backbone Bridging IEEE 802.1ad—Provider Bridges amends 802.1Q—Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks so that service providers can use 802.
49 sFlow Dell Networking OS supports configuring sFlow. Topics: • Overview • Implementation Information • Enabling and Disabling sFlow • Enabling sFlow Max-Header Size Extended • sFlow Show Commands • Configuring Specify Collectors • Changing the Polling Intervals • Changing the Sampling Rate • Back-Off Mechanism • sFlow on LAG ports • Enabling Extended sFlow Overview The Dell Networking operating system (OS) supports sFlow version 5.
• If the global sample rate is non-default, for example 256 bytes, and if the sampling rate is not configured on an interface, the sampling rate of the interface is the global non-default sampling rate, that is 256 bytes. To avoid the back-off, either increase the global sampling rate or configure all the line card ports with the desired sampling rate even if some ports have no sFlow configured.
sflow max-header-size extended • • By default, the maximum header size of a packet is 128 bytes. If the traffic ingresses on an sFlow enabled interface, 256 bytes are copied. To reset the maximum header size of a packet, use the following command [no] sflow max-header-size extended View the maximum header size of a packet.
Dell#show run int tengigabitEthernet 1/10 ! interface TenGigabitEthernet 1/10 no ip address switchport sflow ingress-enable sflow max-header-size extended no shutdown sFlow Show Commands The Dell Networking OS includes the following sFlow display commands. • Displaying Show sFlow Global • Displaying Show sFlow on an Interface • Displaying Show sFlow on a Stack Unit Displaying Show sFlow Global To view sFlow statistics, use the following command.
Samples rcvd from h/w :33 Samples dropped for sub-sampling :6 Displaying Show sFlow on a Stack Unit To view sFlow statistics on a specified stack unit, use the following command. • Display sFlow configuration information and statistics on the specified interface.
Changing the Sampling Rate The sflow sample-rate command, when issued in CONFIGURATION mode, changes the default sampling rate. By default, the sampling rate of an interface is set to the same value as the current global default sampling rate. If the value entered is not a correct power of 2, the command generates an error message with the previous and next power-of-2 value. Select one of these two numbers and re-enter the command. (For more information on values in power-of-2, refer to Sub-Sampling.
sFlow on LAG ports When a physical port becomes a member of a LAG, it inherits the sFlow configuration from the LAG port. Enabling Extended sFlow Dell Networking OS supports extended-switch information processing only. Extended sFlow packs additional information in the sFlow datagram depending on the type of sampled packet. You can enable the following options: • extended-switch — 802.1Q VLAN ID and 802.1p priority information. • extended-router — Next-hop and source and destination mask length.
50 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Simple network management protocol (SNMP) is supported on the MXL switch platform. Network management stations use SNMP to retrieve or alter management data from network elements. A datum of management information is called a managed object; the value of a managed object can be static or variable. Network elements store managed objects in a database called a management information base (MIB).

Enabling an SNMP Agent to Notify Syslog Server Failure You can configure a network device to send an SNMP trap in the event of an audit processing failure due to connectivity issues with the syslog server. If a connectivity failure occurs on a syslog server that is configured for reliable transmission, an SNMP trap is sent. Also a message is written to the console indicating that the configured syslog server has failed. The SNMP trap is sent only periodically.
Copy Configuration Files Using SNMP To do the following, use SNMP from a remote client. • copy the running-config file to the startup-config file • copy configuration files from the Dell Networking system to a server • copy configuration files from a server to the Dell Networking system You can perform all of these tasks using IPv4 addresses. The following table lists the relevant MIBs for these functions are. Table 91.

MIB support for interface level port security The MIB table dellNetPortSecIfConfigTable is used to achieve port security feature (MAC address learning limit) on an interface. NOTE: Port Security is not supported in VLT port channels.
Enabling and viewing SNMP for port security To enable or view DELL-NETWORKING-PORT-SECURITY-MIB, configure snmp-server in read-write mode using the snmp-server community public rw command. You can enable the port security feature on the Dell EMC Networking OS using the snmpset command. Also, you can view if the port security feature is enabled or disabled using the snmpwalk command. To configure dellNetPortSecIfSecureMacLimit as 100 on an interface whose ifIndex is 2101252, use the following command.
snmpset -v 2c -c public 10.16.129.26 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3.31.1.2.2.1.4.6.0.0.0.0.17.17.100.2101252 i 6 To retrieve the static MAC address configured, use the following command. snmpget -v 2c -c public 10.16.129.26 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3.31.1.2.2.1.4.6.0.0.0.0.17.17.100.2101252 MIB objects for configuring MAC addresses This section describes about the MIB table dellNetPortSecSecureMacAddrTable that contains the MAC database of the system.

The hex value 40 is 0100 0000 in binary. As described, the left-most position in the string represents Port 1. The next position from the left represents Port 2 and has a value of 1, indicating that Port 0/2 is in VLAN 10. The remaining positions are 0, so those ports are not in the VLAN.
Enabling and Disabling a Port using SNMP To enable and disable a port using SNMP, use the following commands. 1 Create an SNMP community on the Dell system. CONFIGURATION mode snmp-server community 2 From the Dell Networking system, identify the interface index of the port for which you want to change the admin status. EXEC Privilege mode show interface Or, from the management system, use the snmpwwalk command to identify the interface index.
The value of dot1dTpFdbPort is the port number of the port off which the system learns the MAC address. In this case, of TenGigabitEthernet 1/21, the manager returns the integer 118.
interface is physical, so represent this type of interface by a 0 bit, and the unused bit is always 0. These 2 bits are not given because they are the most significant bits, and leading zeros are often omitted. NOTE: The interface index does not change if the interface reloads or fails over. If the unit is renumbered (for any reason) the interface index changes during a reload. To display the interface number, use the following command. • Display the interface index number.

Physical Entity A physical entity or physical component represents an identifiable physical resource within a managed system. Zero or more logical entities may utilize a physical resource at any given time. Determining which physical components are represented by an agent in the EntPhysicalTable is an implementation-specific matter.
Transceiver Monitoring To retrieve and display the transceiver related parameters you can perform a snmpwalk transceiver table OID to retrieve transceiver details as per the MIB. This enables transceiver monitoring and identification of potential issues related to the transceivers on a switch. • Ensure that SNMP is enabled on the device before running a query to retrieve the transceiver information.

51 Stacking Stacking is supported on the MXL switch platform. Stacking is supported on a MXL 10/40GbE switch on the 40GbE ports (for the base module) or a 2-Port 40GbE QSFP+ module. You can connect up to six MXL 10/40GbE switches in a single stack. Stacking provides a single point of management and network interface controller (NIC) teaming for high availability and higher throughput.
Figure 126. Four-Stacked MXL 10/40GbE Switches Stack Management Roles The stack elects the management units for the stack management. • Stack master — primary management unit, also called the master unit. • Standby — secondary management unit. The master holds the control plane and the other units maintain a local copy of the forwarding databases. From the stack master you can configure: • System-level features that apply to all stack members. • Interface-level features for each stack member.
NOTE: For the MXL switch, the entire stack has only one management IP address. Stack Master Election The stack elects a master and standby unit at bootup time based on two criteria. • Unit priority — User-configurable. The range is from 1 to 14. A higher value (14) means a higher priority. The default is 0. To remove the stack-unit priority and set the priority back to the default value of zero, use the no stack-unit priority command.
MAC Addressing All port interfaces in the stack use the MAC address of the management interface on the master switch. The MAC address of the chassis in which the master MXL switch is installed is used as the stack MAC address. The stack continues to use the master’s chassis MAC address even after a failover. The MAC address is not refreshed until the stack is reloaded and a different unit becomes the stack master.
Figure 127. Dual-Ring Stacking Topology for MXL 10/40GbE Switches Example 2: Dual Daisy-Chain Stack Across Multiple Chassis Using two separate, daisy-chained stacks in a stacking topology provides redundancy and increased high availability in case of stack failure. Also, stacking upgrades are simplified when you have to take one stack offline, as shown in the following examle.
Figure 128. Dual Daisy-Chain Stacking Topology for MXL 10/40GbE Switches Stack Group/Port Numbers By default, each unit in Standalone mode is numbered stack-unit 0. Stack-unit numbers are assigned to member switches when the stack comes up. The following example shows the stack-group numbers of 40GbE ports on an MXL 10/40GbE switch.
Figure 129. Stack-Group on an MXL 10/40GbE Switch Configuring a Switch Stack Configuring a switch stack is a four step process. To configure and bring up a switch stack, follow these steps: 1 Connect the switches to be stacked with 40G direct attach or QSFP fibre cables. 2 Configure the stacking ports on each switch. 3 All switches must be booted together. 4 (Optional) Configure management priorities, unit numbers, or logical provisioning for stack units.
Master Selection Criteria A Master is elected or re-elected based on the following considerations, in order: 1 The switch with the highest priority at boot time. 2 The switch with the highest MAC address at boot time. 3 A unit is selected as Standby by the administrator, and a fail over action is manually initiated or occurs due to a Master unit failure. No record of previous stack mastership is kept when a stack loses power.
Cabling Stacked Switches Before you configure MXL switches in a stack, connect the 40G direct attach or QSFP cables and transceivers to connect 40GbE ports on switches in the same or different chassis. Cabling Restrictions The following restrictions apply when setting up a stack of MXL 10/40GbE switches. • Only daisy-chain or ring topologies are supported; star and full mesh topologies are not supported.
Configuring and Bringing Up a Stack After you attach the 40G QSFP or direct attach cables in a stack of MXL 10/40GbE Switches, to bring up the stack, follow these steps. NOTE: The procedure uses command examples for the stacking topology shown previously in this chapter. 1 Set up a connection to the CLI on an MXL 10/40GbE Switch as described in Accessing the CLI. 2 Log on to the CLI and enter Global Configuration mode.
CONFIGURATION mode stack-unit unit-number priority number • stack-unit unit-number identifies the switch in the stack. • priority priority-number specifies the management priority. The valid range is from 1 to 14. The default is 0. To revert the management priority of a stack unit to the default value of 0, use the no form of the stack-unit unit-number priority number command.
• When you add a new unit to the stack and the stack already has an existing member unit with the same stack-unit number, the new unit is assigned the smallest available unit number (from 0 to 5). A configuration mismatch between the newly added unit and a logically provisioned unit occurs in the following situations: – The logical provisioning for the unit number configures FlexIO module ports for 4x10GbE operation and the added unit has FlexIO Module ports operating in 40GbE mode.
If you remove a unit from the middle of a stack, the stack is split into multiple parts. Each split stack forms a new stack according to MAC addresses or assigned priorities, as described in Configuring and Configuring and Bringing Up a Stack and Assigning a Priority to Stacked Switches. Adding a Stack Unit You can add a new unit to an existing stack both when the unit has no stacking ports (stack groups) configured and when the unit already has stacking ports configured.
Merging Two Stacks You can merge two MXL 10/40GbE Switch stacks while they are powered and online. To merge two stacks, connect one stack to the other with 40G QSFP or direct attach cables. After you connect the stacking cables, a merge of the two stacks is performed: • The Dell Networking OS selects a master switch for the merged stack from the existing masters in the two stacks.
show redundancy Resetting a Unit on a Stack To reload any of the member units or the standby in a stack, use the following reset commands. If you try to reset the stack master, an error message displays: % Error: Reset of master unit is not allowed. To rest a unit on a stack, use the following commands. • Reload a stack-unit. EXEC Privilege mode reset stack-unit unit-number • Reload a member unit, from the unit itself.

• Resolution: Intra-stack traffic is re-routed on a another link using the redundant stacking port on the switch. A recalculation of control plane and data plane connections is performed. Master Switch Fails • Problem: The master switch fails due to a hardware fault, software crash, or power loss. • Resolution: A failover procedure begins: 1 Keep-alive messages from the MXL 10/40GbE master switch time out after 60 seconds and the switch is removed from the stack.
• Resolution: To restore a stack unit with an incorrect the Dell Networking OS version as a member unit, disconnect the stacking cables on the switch and install the correct the Dell Networking OS version. Then add the switch to the stack as described in Adding a Stack Unit. To verify that the problem has been resolved and the stacked switch is back online, use the show system brief command.

Dell Networking OS Behavior: The Dell Networking OS supports broadcast control (the storm-control broadcast command) for Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic. The minimum number of packets per second (PPS) that storm control can limit is two.
• Configure the percentage of multicast traffic allowed on C-Series or S-Series interface (ingress only) network only. INTERFACE mode storm-control multicast packets_per_second in • Shut down the port if it receives the PFC/LLFC packets more than the configured rate. INTERFACE mode storm-control pfc-llfc pps in shutdown NOTE: PFC/LLFC storm control enabled interface disables the interfaces if it receives continuous PFC/LLFC packets.

Configuring Interfaces for Layer 2 Mode All interfaces on all switches that participate in spanning tree must be in Layer 2 mode and enabled. Figure 130. Example of Configuring Interfaces for Layer 2 Mode To configure and enable the interfaces for Layer 2, use the following command. 1 If the interface has been assigned an IP address, remove it. INTERFACE mode no ip address 2 Place the interface in Layer 2 mode. INTERFACE switchport 3 Enable the interface.
Example of the show config Command To verify that an interface is in Layer 2 mode and enabled, use the show config command from INTERFACE mode.

when it receives a BPDU. When you only implement bpduguard, although the interface is placed in an Error Disabled state when receiving the BPDU, the physical interface remains up and spanning-tree drops packets in the hardware after a BPDU violation. BPDUs are dropped in the software after receiving the BPDU violation. PDU Filtering enabled on an interface stops sending and receiving BPDUs on the port fast enabled ports.
• You can clear the Error Disabled state with any of the following methods: – Perform a shutdown command on the interface. – Disable the shutdown-on-violation command on the interface (the no spanning-tree stp-id portfast [bpduguard | [shutdown-on-violation]] command). – Disable spanning tree on the interface (the no spanning-tree command in INTERFACE mode). – Disabling global spanning tree (the no spanning-tree in CONFIGURATION mode). Figure 132.
TenGigabitEthernet 3/20 unassigned YES None up up Dell# Global BPDU Filtering When BPDU Filtering is enabled globally, it stops transmitting BPDUs on the operational port fast enabled ports by default. When it receives BPDUs, it automatically participates in the spanning tree. By default global bpdu filtering is disabled. Figure 133.
Figure 134. BPDU Filtering Enabled Globally Selecting STP Root The STP determines the root bridge, but you can assign one bridge a lower priority to increase the likelihood that it becomes the root bridge. You can also specify that a bridge is the root or the secondary root. To change the bridge priority or specify that a bridge is the root or secondary root, use the following command. • Assign a number as the bridge priority or designate it as the root or secondary root.
STP Root Guard Use the STP root guard feature in a Layer 2 network to avoid bridging loops. In STP, the switch in the network with the lowest priority (as determined by STP or set with the bridge-priority command) is selected as the root bridge. If two switches have the same priority, the switch with the lower MAC address is selected as the root. All other switches in the network use the root bridge as the reference used to calculate the shortest forwarding path.
Figure 135. STP Root Guard Prevents Bridging Loops Configuring Root Guard Enable STP root guard on a per-port or per-port-channel basis. Dell Networking OS Behavior: The following conditions apply to a port enabled with STP root guard: • Root guard is supported on any STP-enabled port or port-channel interface except when used as a stacking port.
– pvst: enables root guard on a PVST-enabled port. To disable STP root guard on a port or port-channel interface, use the no spanning-tree 0 rootguard command in an interface configuration mode. To verify the STP root guard configuration on a port or port-channel interface, use the show spanning-tree 0 guard [interface interface] command in a global configuration mode. SNMP Traps for Root Elections and Topology Changes To enable SNMP traps, use the following commands.

55 System Time and Date System time and date settings and the network time protocol (NTP) are supported on the MXL switch platform. You can set system times and dates and maintained through the NTP. They are also set through the Dell Networking operating system (OS) command line interfaces (CLIs) and hardware settings.
as a client to the NTP host. As soon as a host-client relationship is established, the networking device propagates the time information throughout its local network. Protocol Overview The NTP messages to one or more servers and processes the replies as received. The server interchanges addresses and ports, fills in or overwrites certain fields in the message, recalculates the checksum, and returns it immediately.
Enabling NTP NTP is disabled by default. To enable NTP, specify an NTP server to which the Dell Networking system synchronizes. To specify multiple servers, enter the command multiple times. You may specify an unlimited number of servers at the expense of CPU resources. • Specify the NTP server to which the Dell Networking system synchronizes.
ntp disable To view whether NTP is configured on the interface, use the show config command in INTERFACE mode. If ntp disable is not listed in the show config command output, NTP is enabled. (The show config command displays only non-default configuration information.) Configuring a Source IP Address for NTP Packets By default, the source address of NTP packets is the IP address of the interface used to reach the network. You can configure one interface’s IP address include in all NTP packets.
ntp trusted-key number Configure a number from 1 to 4294967295. The number must be the same as the number used in the ntp authentication-key command. 4 Configure an NTP server. CONFIGURATION mode ntp server [vrf] {hostname | ipv4-address |ipv6-address} [ key keyid] [prefer] [version number] Configure the IP address of a server and the following optional parameters: • – vrf-name : Enter the name of the VRF through which the NTP server is reachable.
NOTE: • Leap Indicator (sys.leap, peer.leap, pkt.leap) — This is a two-bit code warning of an impending leap second to be inserted in the NTP time scale. The bits are set before 23:59 on the day of insertion and reset after 00:00 on the following day. This causes the number of seconds (rollover interval) in the day of insertion to be increased or decreased by one.

57 Virtual Link Trunking (VLT) Dell Networking OS supports virtual link trunking (VLT). Overview VLT allows physical links between two chassis to appear as a single virtual link to the network core. VLT reduces the role of spanning tree protocols (STPs) by allowing link aggregation group (LAG) terminations on two separate distribution or core switches, and by supporting a loop-free topology. (To prevent the initial loop that may occur prior to VLT being established, use a spanning tree protocol.
Figure 138. Virtual Link Trunking Multi-domain VLT A multi-domain VLT (mVLT) configuration creates a port channel between two VLT domains by allowing two different VLT domains, using different VLT Domain ID numbers, connected by a standard LACP LAG to form a loop-free Layer 2 topology in the aggregation layer. This configuration supports a maximum of four (4) nodes per mVLT domain, increasing the number of available ports and allowing for dual redundancy of the VLT.
Figure 139. Multi-Domain VLT Example VLT Terminology The following are key VLT terms. • Virtual link trunk (VLT) — The combined port channel between an attached device and the VLT peer switches. • VLT backup link — The backup link monitors the vitality of VLT peer switches. The backup link sends configurable, periodic keep alive messages between the VLT peer switches. • VLT interconnect (VLTi) — The link used to synchronize states between the VLT peer switches.
• If you reboot both VLT peers in BMP mode and the VLT LAGs are static, the DHCP server reply to the DHCP discover offer may not be forwarded by the ToR to the correct node. To avoid this scenario, configure the VLT LAGs to the ToR and the ToR port channel to the VLT peers with LACP. If supported by the ToR, enable the lacp-ungroup feature on the ToR using the lacp ungroup memberindependent port-channel command.
– The VLT interconnect must consist of either 10G or 40G ports. A maximum of sixteen 10G or 40G ports are supported. A combination of 10G and 40G ports are not supported. – A VLT interconnect over 1G ports is not supported. – The port channel must be in Default mode (not Switchport mode) to have VLTi recognize it. – The system automatically includes the required VLANs in VLTi. You do not need to manually select VLANs.
and automatically generates a VLT number for port channels on VLT peers that connects to the device. The discovery protocol requires that an attached device always runs LACP over the port-channel interface. – VLT provides a loop-free topology for port channels with endpoints on different chassis in the VLT domain. – VLT uses shortest path routing so that traffic destined to hosts via directly attached links on a chassis does not traverse the chassis-interconnect link.
• Failure scenarios – On a link failover, when a VLT port channel fails, the traffic destined for that VLT port channel is redirected to the VLTi to avoid flooding. – When a VLT switch determines that a VLT port channel has failed (and that no other local port channels are available), the peer with the failed port channel notifies the remote peer that it no longer has an active port channel for a link.
VLT and IGMP Snooping When configuring IGMP Snooping with VLT, ensure the configurations on both sides of the VLT trunk are identical to get the same behavior on both sides of the trunk. When you configure IGMP snooping on a VLT node, the dynamically learned groups and multicast router ports are automatically learned on the VLT peer node. VLT Port Delayed Restoration With the Dell Networking OS version 8.3.12.
Figure 140. PIM-Sparse Mode Support on VLT On each VLAN where the VLT peer nodes act as the first hop or last hop routers, one of the VLT peer nodes is elected as the PIM designated router. If you configured IGMP snooping along with PIM on the VLT VLANs, you must configure VLTi as the static multicast router port on both VLT peer switches. This ensures that for first hop routers, the packets from the source are redirected to the designated router (DR) if they are incorrectly hashed.
You can configure virtual link trunking (VLT) peer nodes as rendezvous points (RPs) in a Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) domain. If the VLT node elected as the designated router fails, traffic loss occurs until another VLT node is elected the designated router. VLT Multicast VLT multicast provides multiple alternate paths for resiliency against link and node failures.
4 Configure a PIM-SM compatible VLT node as a designated router (DR). For more information, refer to Configuring a Designated Router. 5 Configure a PIM-enabled external neighboring router as a rendezvous point (RP). For more information, refer to Configuring a Static Rendezvous Point. 6 Configure the VLT VLAN routing metrics to prefer VLT VLAN interfaces over non-VLT VLAN interfaces. For more information, refer to Classify Traffic.
Non-VLT ARP Sync In the Dell Networking OS version 9.2(0.0), ARP entries (including ND entries) learned on other ports are synced with the VLT peer to support station move scenarios. Prior to Dell Networking OS version 9.2.(0.0), only ARP entries learned on VLT ports were synced between peers. Additionally, ARP entries resulting from station movements from VLT to non-VLT ports or to different non-VLT ports are learned on the non-VLT port and synced with the peer node.
Sample RSTP Configuration The following is a sample of an RSTP configuration. Using the example shown in the Protocol Overview section as a sample VLT topology, the primary VLT switch sends BPDUs to an access device (switch or server) with its own RSTP bridge ID. BPDUs generated by an RSTP-enabled access device are only processed by the primary VLT switch. The secondary VLT switch tunnels the BPDUs that it receives to the primary VLT switch over the VLT interconnect.
CONFIGURATION mode interface port-channel id-number Enter the same port-channel number configured with the peer-link port-channel command as described in Configuring VLT and Connecting a VLT Domain. NOTE: To be included in the VLTi, the port channel must be in Default mode (no switchport or VLAN assigned). 2 Remove an IP address from the interface. INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode no ip address 3 Add one or more port interfaces to the port channel.
Configuring a VLT Port Delay Period To configure a VLT port delay period, use the following commands. 1 Enter VLT-domain configuration mode for a specified VLT domain. CONFIGURATION mode vlt domain domain-id The range of domain IDs from 1 to 1000. 2 Enter an amount of time, in seconds, to delay the restoration of the VLT ports after the system is rebooted. CONFIGURATION mode delay-restore delay-restore-time The range is from 1 to 1200. The default is 90 seconds.
VLT DOMAIN CONFIGURATION mode unit-id {0 | 1} To explicitly configure the default values on each peer switch, use the unit-id command. Configure a different unit ID (0 or 1) on each peer switch. Unit IDs are used for internal system operations. Use this command to minimize the time required for the VLT system to determine the unit ID assigned to each peer switch when one peer switch reboots.
To configure the VLAN where a VLT peer forwards received packets over the VLTi from an adjacent VLT peer that is down, use the peerdown-vlan parameter. When a VLT peer with BMP reboots, untagged DHCP discover packets are sent to the peer over the VLTi. Using this configuration ensures the DHCP discover packets are forwarded to the VLAN that has the DHCP server. Configuring a VLT VLAN Peer-Down (Optional) To configure a VLT VLAN peer-down, use the following commands.
VLT DOMAIN CONFIGURATION mode peer-link port-channel id-number The range is from 1 to 128. 5 Configure the IP address of the management interface on the remote VLT peer to be used as the endpoint of the VLT backup link for sending out-of-band hello messages. VLT DOMAIN CONFIGURATION mode back-up destination ip-address [interval seconds] You can optionally specify the time interval used to send hello messages. The range is from 1 to 5 seconds.

Keep the following points in mind when you configure VLT nodes in a PVLAN: • Configure the VLTi link to be in trunk mode. Do not configure the VLTi link to be in access or promiscuous mode. • You can configure a VLT LAG or port channel to be in trunk, access, or promiscuous port modes when you include the VLT LAG in a PVLAN. The VLT LAG settings must be the same on both the peers. If you configure a VLT LAG as a trunk port, you can associate that LAG to be a member of a normal VLAN or a PVLAN.
PVLAN Operations When One VLT Peer is Down When a VLT port moves to the Admin or Operationally Down state on only one of the VLT nodes, the VLT Lag is still considered to be up. All the PVLAN MAC entries that correspond to the operationally down VLT LAG are maintained as synchronized entries in the device. These MAC entries are removed when the peer VLT LAG also becomes inactive or a change in PVLAN configuration occurs.

Proxy ARP Capability on VLT Peer Nodes A proxy ARP-enabled device answers the ARP requests that are destined for another host or router. The local host forwards the traffic to the proxy ARP-enabled device, which in turn transmits the packets to the destination. By default, proxy ARP is enabled. To disable proxy ARP, use the no proxy-arp command in the interface mode.
When a VLT node detects peer up, it will not perform proxy ARP for the peer IP addresses. IP address synchronization occurs again between the VLT peers. Proxy ARP is enabled only if peer routing is enabled on both the VLT peers. If you disable peer routing by using the no peerroutingcommand in VLT DOMAIN node, a notification is sent to the VLT peer to disable the proxy ARP.

58 Uplink Failure Detection (UFD) Uplink failure detection (UFD) is supported on the MXL switch platform. Feature Description UFD provides detection of the loss of upstream connectivity and, if used with network interface controller (NIC) teaming, automatic recovery from a failed link. A switch provides upstream connectivity for devices, such as servers. If a switch loses its upstream connectivity, downstream devices also lose their connectivity.
Figure 142. Uplink Failure Detection How Uplink Failure Detection Works UFD creates an association between upstream and downstream interfaces. The association of uplink and downlink interfaces is called an uplink-state group. An interface in an uplink-state group can be a physical interface or a port-channel (LAG) aggregation of physical interfaces. An enabled uplink-state group tracks the state of all assigned upstream interfaces.
Figure 143. Uplink Failure Detection Example If only one of the upstream interfaces in an uplink-state group goes down, a specified number of downstream ports associated with the upstream interface are put into a Link-Down state. You can configure this number and is calculated by the ratio of the upstream port bandwidth to the downstream port bandwidth in the same uplink-state group.
• If one of the upstream interfaces in an uplink-state group goes down, either a user-configurable set of downstream ports or all the downstream ports in the group are put in an Operationally Down state with an UFD Disabled error. The order in which downstream ports are disabled is from the lowest numbered port to the highest.
4 (Optional) Enable auto-recovery so that UFD-disabled downstream ports in the uplink-state group come up when a disabled upstream port in the group comes back up. UPLINK-STATE-GROUP mode downstream auto-recover The default is auto-recovery of UFD-disabled downstream ports is enabled. To disable auto-recovery, use the no downstream auto-recover command. 5 (Optional) Enters a text description of the uplink-state group.

60 Virtual LANs (VLANs) Dell Networking OS supports virtual LANs (VLANs). VLANs are a logical broadcast domain or logical grouping of interfaces in a local area network (LAN) in which all data received is kept locally and broadcast to all members of the group. When in Layer 2 mode, VLANs move traffic at wire speed and can span multiple devices. The Dell Networking operating system (OS) supports up to 4093 port-based VLANs and one default VLAN, as specified in IEEE 802.1Q.
By default, VLAN 1 is the Default VLAN. To change that designation, use the default vlan-id command in CONFIGURATION mode. You cannot delete the Default VLAN. NOTE: You cannot assign an IP address to the Default VLAN. To assign an IP address to a VLAN that is currently the Default VLAN, create another VLAN and assign it to be the Default VLAN. For more information about assigning IP addresses, refer to Assigning an IP Address to a VLAN. • Untagged interfaces must be part of a VLAN.
Figure 144. Tagged Frame Format The tag header contains some key information that the Dell Networking OS uses: • The VLAN protocol identifier identifies the frame as tagged according to the IEEE 802.1Q specifications (2 bytes). • Tag control information (TCI) includes the VLAN ID (2 bytes total). The VLAN ID can have 4,096 values, but two are reserved. NOTE: The insertion of the tag header into the Ethernet frame increases the size of the frame to more than the 1,518 bytes as specified in the IEEE 802.
Example of Verifying a Port-Based VLAN To view the configured VLANs, use the show vlan command in EXEC Privilege mode.

61 Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) Dell Networking OS supports virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP). VRRP Overview VRRP is designed to eliminate a single point of failure in a statically routed network. VRRP specifies a MASTER router that owns the next hop IP and MAC address for end stations on a local area network (LAN). The MASTER router is chosen from the virtual routers by an election process and forwards packets sent to the next hop IP address.
Figure 145. Basic VRRP Configuration VRRP Benefits With VRRP configured on a network, end-station connectivity to the network is not subject to a single point-of-failure. End-station connections to the network are redundant and are not dependent on internal gateway protocol (IGP) protocols to converge or update routing tables.
CP processor increases or decreases based on the dynamics of the network, the advertisement intervals in may increase or decrease accordingly. Table 117. Recommended VRRP Advertise Intervals Recommended Advertise Interval Groups/Interface Less than 250 1 second 255 Between 250 and 450 2–3 seconds 255 Between 450 and 600 3–4 seconds 255 VRRP Configuration By default, VRRP is not configured.

The command forces the system to change the MASTER router if another router with a higher priority comes online. Prevent the BACKUP router with the higher priority from becoming the MASTER router by disabling preempt.
If you are configured for VRRP version 2, the timer values must be in multiples of whole seconds. For example, timer value of 3 seconds or 300 centisecs are valid and equivalent. However, a timer value of 50 centisecs is invalid because it not is not multiple of 1 second. If are using VRRP version 3, you must configure the timer values in multiples of 25 centisecs. To change the advertisement interval in seconds or centisecs, use the following command. A centisecs is 1/100 of a second.
• VLAN: enter vlan vlan-id where valid VLAN IDs are from 1 to 4094. For a virtual group, you can also track the status of a configured object (the track object-id command) by entering its object number. NOTE: You can configure a tracked object for a VRRP group (using the track object-id command in INTERFACE-VRID mode) before you actually create the tracked object (using a track object-id command in CONFIGURATION mode).

63 FC Flex IO Modules This part provides a generic, broad-level description of the operations, capabilities, and configuration commands of the Fiber Channel (FC) Flex IO module. FC Flex IO Module mentioned in this guide refers to FCF Port Combo Card.
environment without the need for a separate ToR switch to operate as NPIV proxy gateways. The FN IOM can function in NPIV proxy gateway mode when an FC Flex IO module is present or in the FIP snooping bridge (FSB) mode when all the ports are Ethernet ports. The FC Flex IO module uses the same baseboard hardware of the FN IOM and the FX2 chassis. You can insert the FC Flex IO module into any of the optional module slots of the FN IOM and it provides four FC ports per module.
• There should a maximum of 64 server fabric login (FLOGI) requests or fabric discovery (FDISC) requests per server MAC address before forwarded by the FC Flex IO module to the FC core switch. Without user configuration, only 32 server login sessions are permitted for each server MAC address. To increase the total number of sessions to 64, use the max sessions command. • A distance of up to 300 meters is supported at 8 Gbps for Fibre Channel traffic.
Port Numbering for FC Flex IO Modules Even-numbered ports are at the bottom of the I/O panel and for modules odd-numbered ports are at the top of the I/O panel. When installed in a PowerEdge M1000e Enclosure, the FN IOM ports are numbered 33 to 56 from the bottom to the top of the switch. The following port numbering convention applies to the FC Flex IO module: • In expansion slot 0, the ports are numbered 41 to 44. • In expansion slot 1, the ports are numbered 49 to 52.
If the FN IOM Switch functions in the NPIV mode and you attempt to set the uplink port to be an FCF or a bridge port, a warning message displays and the settings are not saved. Operation of the NPIV Proxy Gateway The NPIV application on the FC Flex IO module manages the FC functionalities configured in Dell Networking OS. After the FC link comes up, the gateway sends the initial FLOGI request to the connected switch using the switch and port WWN methods.
Figure 147. Installing and Configuring Flowchart for FC Flex IO Modules To see if a switch is running the latest Dell Networking OS version, use the show version command. To download a Dell Networking OS version, go to http://support.dell.com. Installation Site Preparation Before installing the switch or switches, make sure that the chosen installation location meets the following site requirements: • Clearance — There is adequate front and rear clearance for operator access.
1 Decrease the maximum temperature by 1°C (1.8°F) per 300 m (985 ft.) above 900 m (2955 ft.). 2 Relative Humidity — The operating relative humidity is 8 percent to 85 percent (non‑condensing) with a maximum humidity gradation of 10 percent per hour.
• The CNA sends a FIP fabric login (FLOGI) request to the FC Flex IO module, which converts FLOGI to FDISC messages or processes any internally generated FC frames and sends these messages to the SAN environment. • When the FC fabric discovery (FDISC) accept message is received from the SAN side, the FC Flex IO module converts the FDISC message again into an FLOGI accept message and transmits it to the CNA.
Figure 149. Case 2: Deployment Scenario of Configuring FC Flex IO Modules Data Center Bridging (DCB) Data center bridging (DCB) is supported on the FC Flex IO module installed in the FN IOM. Ethernet Enhancements in Data Center Bridging The following section describes DCB.
InterProcess Communication (IPC) traffic InterProcess Communication (IPC) traffic within high-performance computing clusters to share information. Server traffic is extremely sensitive to latency requirements. To ensure lossless delivery and latency-sensitive scheduling of storage and service traffic and I/O convergence of LAN, storage, and server traffic over a unified fabric, IEEE data center bridging adds the following extensions to a classical Ethernet network: • 802.
– If the negotiation fails and PFC is enabled on the port, any user-configured PFC input policies are applied. If no PFC input policy has been previously applied, the PFC default setting is used (no priorities configured). If you do not enable PFC on an interface, you can enable the 802.3x link-level pause function. By default, the link-level pause is disabled. • PFC supports buffering to receive data that continues to arrive on an interface while the remote system reacts to the PFC operation.
Traffic Groupings Description Group transmission selection algorithm (TSA) Type of queue scheduling a priority group uses. In the Dell Networking OS, ETS is implemented as follows: • ETS supports groups of 802.1p priorities that have: – PFC enabled or disabled – No bandwidth limit or no ETS processing • Bandwidth allocated by the ETS algorithm is made available after strict-priority groups are serviced.
All priorities that map to the same queue must be in the same priority group.Leave a space between each priority group number. For example: priority-pgid 0 0 0 1 2 4 4 4 in which priority group 0 maps to dot1p priorities 0, 1, and 2; priority group 1 maps to dot1p priority 3; priority group 2 maps to dot1p priority 4; priority group 4 maps to dot1p priorities 5, 6, and 7.
INTERFACE mode pfc priority priority-range You cannot configure PFC using the pfc priority command on an interface on which a DCB map has been applied or which is already configured for lossless queues (pfc no-drop queues command). Configuring Lossless Queues DCB also supports the manual configuration of lossless queues on an interface after you disable PFC mode in a DCB map and apply the map on the interface.
pfc no-drop queuesqueue-range Data Center Bridging Exchange Protocol (DCBx) DCBx allows a switch to automatically discover DCB-enabled peers and exchange configuration information. PFC and ETS use DCBx to exchange and negotiate parameters with peer devices. DCBx capabilities include: • Discovery of DCB capabilities on peer-device connections. • Determination of possible mismatch in DCB configuration on a peer link. • Configuration of a peer device over a DCB link.
• Data center bridging exchange protocol • FCoE initialization protocol (FIP) snooping DCB processes virtual local area network (VLAN)-tagged packets and dot1p priority values. Untagged packets are treated with a dot1p priority of 0. For DCB to operate effectively, you can classify ingress traffic according to its dot1p priority so that it maps to different data queues. The dot1p-queue assignments used are shown in the following table.
dot1p Value in the Incoming Frame Egress Queue Assignment 0 0 1 0 2 0 3 1 4 2 5 3 6 3 7 3 NOTE: If you reconfigure the global dot1p-queue mapping, an automatic re-election of the DCBX configuration source port is performed (refer to Configuration Source Election). Configure Enhanced Transmission Selection ETS provides a way to optimize bandwidth allocation to outbound 802.1p classes of converged Ethernet traffic. Different traffic types have different service needs.
– The CIN version supports two types of strict-priority scheduling: ◦ Group strict priority: Use this to increase its bandwidth usage to the bandwidth total of the priority group and allow a single priority flow in a priority group. A single flow in a group can use all the bandwidth allocated to the group. ◦ Link strict priority: Use this to increase to the maximum link bandwidth and allow a flow in any priority group. CIN supports only the dot1p priority-queue assignment in a priority group.
7 Apply the QoS output policy with the bandwidth percentage for specified priority queues to an egress interface. INTERFACE mode Dell(conf-if-te-0/1)#service-policy output test12 Configure a DCBx Operation DCB devices use data center bridging exchange protocol (DCBx) to exchange configuration information with directly connected peers using the link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) protocol.
• If the peer configuration received is compatible with the internally propagated port configuration, the link with the DCBx peer is enabled. • If the received peer configuration is not compatible with the currently configured port configuration, the link with the DCBX peer port is disabled and a syslog message for an incompatible configuration is generated. The network administrator must then reconfigure the peer device so that it advertises a compatible DCB configuration.
NOTE: On a DCBx port, application priority TLV advertisements are handled as follows: • The application priority TLV is transmitted only if the priorities in the advertisement match the configured PFC priorities on the port. • On auto-upstream and auto-downstream ports: – If a configuration source is elected, the ports send an application priority TLV based on the application priority TLV received on the configuration-source port.
Propagation of DCB Information When an auto-upstream or auto-downstream port receives a DCB configuration from a peer, the port acts as a DCBx client and checks if a DCBx configuration source exists on the switch. • • If a configuration source is found, the received configuration is checked against the currently configured values that are internally propagated by the configuration source.
Figure 153. DCBx Sample Topology DCBx Prerequisites and Restrictions The following prerequisites and restrictions apply when you configure DCBx operation on a port: • For DCBx, on a port interface, enable LLDP in both Send (TX) and Receive (RX) mode (the protocol lldp mode command; refer to the example in CONFIGURATION versus INTERFACE Configurations in the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) chapter). If multiple DCBx peer ports are detected on a local DCBx interface, LLDP is shut down.
Configure DCBx operation at the interface level on a switch or globally on the switch. To configure an FN IOM switch for DCBx operation in a data center network, you must: 1 Configure ToR- and FCF-facing interfaces as auto-upstream ports. 2 Configure server-facing interfaces as auto-downstream ports. 3 Configure a port to operate in a configuration-source role. 4 Configure ports to operate in a manual role. 1 Enter INTERFACE Configuration mode.
To disable TLV transmission, use the no form of the command; for example, no advertise DCBx-tlv pfc ets-reco. 6 On manual ports only: Configure the Application Priority TLVs advertised on the interface to DCBx peers. PROTOCOL LLDP mode [no] advertise DCBx-appln-tlv {fcoe | iscsi} • fcoe: enables the advertisement of FCoE in Application Priority TLVs. • iscsi: enables the advertisement of iSCSI in Application Priority TLVs.
NOTE: You can configure the transmission of more than one TLV type at a time. You can only enable ETS recommend TLVs (ets-reco) if you enable ETS configuration TLVs (ets-conf). To disable TLV transmission, use the no form of the command; for example, no advertise DCBx-tlv pfc ets-reco. The default is All TLV types are enabled. 5 Configure the Application Priority TLVs that advertise on unconfigured interfaces with a manual port-role.
• Enable DCBx debugging. EXEC PRIVILEGE mode debug DCBx {all | auto-detect-timer | config-exchng | fail | mgmt | resource | sem | tlv} – all: enables all DCBx debugging operations. – auto-detect-timer: enables traces for DCBx auto-detect timers. – config-exchng: enables traces for DCBx configuration exchanges. – fail: enables traces for DCBx failures. – mgmt: enables traces for DCBx management frames. – resource: enables traces for DCBx system resource frames.

Interworking of DCB Map With DCB Buffer Threshold Settings The dcb-input and dcb-output configuration commands are deprecated. You must use the dcp-map command to create a DCB map to configure priority flow control (PFC) and enhanced transmission selection (ETS) on Ethernet ports that support converged Ethernet traffic. Configure the dcb-buffer-threshold command and its related parameters only on ports with either auto configuration or dcb-map configuration.
NPIV Proxy Gateway for FC Flex IO Modules The N-port identifier virtualization (NPIV) Proxy Gateway (NPG) feature provides FCoE-FC bridging capability on the FN IOM with the FC Flex IO module switch, allowing server CNAs to communicate with SAN fabrics over the FN IOM with the FC Flex IO module.
Servers use CNA ports to connect over FCoE to an Ethernet port in ENode mode on the NPIV proxy gateway. FCoE transit with FIP snooping is automatically enabled and configured on the M1000e gateway to prevent unauthorized access and data transmission to the SAN network (see FCoE Transit). FIP is used by server CNAs to discover an FCoE switch operating as an FCoE forwarder (FCF).
Table 129. FN IOM with the FC Flex IO module NPIV Proxy Gateway: Terms and Definitions Term Description FC port Fibre Channel port on the FN IOM with the FC Flex IO module FC module that operates in autosensing, 2, 4, or 8-Gigabit mode. On an NPIV proxy gateway, an FC port can be used as a downlink for a server connection and an uplink for a fabric connection. F port Port mode of an FC port connected to an end node (N) port on the FN IOM with the FC Flex IO module NPIV proxy gateway.
By default, no PFC and ETS settings in a DCB map are applied to FN IOM with the FC Flex IO module Ethernet ports when they are enabled. On the FN IOM with the FC Flex IO module NPG, you must configure PFC and ETS parameters in a DCB map and then apply the map to server-facing Ethernet ports (see the “Creating a DCB map" section). FCoE Maps An FCoE map is used to identify the SAN fabric to which FCoE storage traffic is sent.
Enabling Fibre Channel Capability on the Switch Enable the FC Flex IO module on the FN IOM that you want to configure as an NPG for the Fibre Channel protocol. When you enable Fibre Channel capability, FCoE transit with FIP snooping is automatically enabled on all VLANs on the switch, using the default FCoE transit settings. 1 Enable the FN IOM with the FC Flex IO module for the Fibre Channel protocol.
As a result, PFC and lossless port queues are disabled on 802.1p priorities, and all priorities are mapped to the same priority queue and equally share port bandwidth. • To change the ETS bandwidth allocation configured for a priority group in a DCB map, do not modify the existing DCB map configuration. Instead, create a new DCB map with the desired PFC and ETS settings, and apply the new map to the interfaces to override the previous DCB map settings.
Creating an FCoE Map An FCoE map consists of: • An association between the dedicated VLAN, used to carry FCoE traffic, and the SAN fabric where the storage arrays are installed. Use a separate FCoE VLAN for each fabric to which the FCoE traffic is forwarded. Any non-FCoE traffic sent on a dedicated FCoE VLAN is dropped. • The FC-MAP value, used to generate the fabric-provided MAC address (FPMA). The FPMA is used by servers to transmit FCoE traffic to the fabric.
FCoE MAP mode fka-adv-period seconds Applying an FCoE Map on Server-facing Ethernet Ports You can apply multiple FCoE maps on an Ethernet port or port channel. When you apply an FCoE map on a server-facing port or port channel: • The port is configured to operate in hybrid mode (accept both tagged and untagged VLAN frames). • The associated FCoE VLAN is enabled on the port or port channel.

1 An entity or organization that wants a digital certificate requests one through a CSR. 2 To request a digital certificate through a CSR, a key pair is generated and the CSR is signed using the secret private key. The CSR contains information identifying the applicant and the applicant's public key. This public key is used to verify the signature of the CSR and the Distinguished Name (DN). 3 This CSR is sent to a Certificate Authority (CA).
The Root CA generates a private key and a self-signed CA certificate. The Intermediate CA generates a private key and a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). Using its private key, the root CA signs the intermediate CA’s CSR generating a CA certificate for the Intermediate CA. This intermediate CA can then sign certificates for hosts in the network and also for further intermediate CAs.
During the initial TLS protocol negotiation, both participating parties also check to see if the other’s certificate is revoked by the CA. To do this check, the devices query the CA’s designated OCSP responder on the network. The OCSP responder information is included in the presented certificate, the Intermediate CA inserts the info upon signing it, or it may be statically configured on the host. Information about installing CA certificates Dell EMC Networking OS enables you to download and install X.
If you do not specify the cert-file option, the system prompts you to enter metadata information related to the CSR as follows: You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request. What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN. There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank. For some fields there will be a default value; if you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
NOTE: The command contains multiple options with the Common Name being a required field and blanks being filled in for unspecified fields. Information about installing trusted certificates Dell EMC Networking OS also enables you to install a trusted certificate. The system can then present this certificate for authentication to clients such as SSH and HTTPS. This trusted certificate is also presented to the TLS server implementations that require client authentication such as Syslog.
TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA TLS compression is disabled by default. TLS session resumption is also supported to reduce processor and traffic overhead due to public key cryptographic operations and handshake traffic. However, the maximum time allowed for a TLS session to resume without repeating the TLS authentication or handshake process is configurable with a default of 1 hour.
NOTE: If you have an IPv6 address in the URL, then enclose this address in square brackets. For example, http:// [1100::203]:6514. Configuring OCSP behavior You can configure how the OCSP requests and responses are signed when the CA or the device contacts the OCSP responders. To configure this behavior, follow this step: In CONFIGURATION mode, enter the following command: crypto x509 ocsp {[nonce] [sign-request]} Both the none and sign-request parameters are optional.
Verifying Server certificates Verifying server certificates is mandatory in the TLS protocol. As a result, all TLS-enabled applications require certificate verification, including Syslog servers. The system checks the Server certificates against installed CA certificates. NOTE: As part of the certificate verification, the hostname or IP address of the server is verified against the hostname or IP address specified in the application.
