1 About this Guide This guide describes the protocols and features the Dell Networking Operating System (OS) supports and provides configuration instructions and examples for implementing them. This guide supports the S6000 platform. The S6000 platform is available with Dell Networking OS version 9.0 (2.0) and beyond. Though this guide contains information on protocols, it is not intended to be a complete reference. This guide is a reference for configuring protocols on Dell Networking systems.
Configuration Fundamentals 2 The Dell Networking Operating System (OS) command line interface (CLI) is a text-based interface you can use to configure interfaces and protocols. The CLI is largely the same for the Z9000, S6000, S4810, and S4820T except for some commands and command outputs. 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.
• 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.

no ip address no shutdown Layer 2 protocols are disabled by default. To enable Layer 2 protocols, use the no disable command. For example, in PROTOCOL SPANNING TREE mode, enter no disable to enable Spanning Tree. Obtaining Help Obtain a list of keywords and a brief functional description of those keywords at any CLI mode using the ? or help command: • To list the keywords available in the current mode, enter ? at the prompt or after a keyword.
Short-Cut Key Combination Action CNTL-A Moves the cursor to the beginning of the command line. CNTL-B Moves the cursor back one character. CNTL-D Deletes character at cursor. CNTL-E Moves the cursor to the end of the line. CNTL-F Moves the cursor forward one character. CNTL-I Completes a keyword. CNTL-K Deletes all characters from the cursor to the end of the command line. CNTL-L Re-enters the previous command.
• show run | grep Ethernet returns a search result with instances containing a capitalized “Ethernet,” such as interface GigabitEthernet 0/0. • show run | grep ethernet does not return that search result because it only searches for instances containing a non-capitalized “ethernet.” • show run | grep Ethernet ignore-case returns instances containing both “Ethernet” and “ethernet.” The grep command displays only the lines containing specified text.
NOTE: You can filter a single command output multiple times. The save option must be the last option entered. For example: Dell# command | grep regular-expression | except regular-expression | grep other-regular-expression | find regular-expression | save. Multiple Users in Configuration Mode Dell Networking OS notifies all users when there are multiple users logged in to CONFIGURATION mode.
Getting Started 3 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 line card status light emitting diodes (LEDs) blink green. The system then loads the Dell Networking Operating System (OS). Boot messages scroll up the terminal window during this process. No user interaction is required if the boot process proceeds without interruption.
Accessing the Console Port To access the console port, follow these steps: For the console port pinout, refer to Accessing the RJ-45 Console Port with a DB-9 Adapter. 1. Install an RJ-45 copper cable into the console port.Use a rollover (crossover) cable to connect the S4810 console port to a terminal server. 2. Connect the other end of the cable to the DTE terminal server. 3.
• Characters within the string can be letters, digits, and hyphens. To create a host name, use the following command. • Create a host name. CONFIGURATION mode hostname name Example of the hostname Command Dell(conf)#hostname R1 R1(conf)# Accessing the System Remotely You can configure the system to access it remotely by Telnet or SSH. • The S6000has a dedicated management port and a management routing table that is separate from the IP routing table.
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. • Configure a management route to the network from which you are accessing the system. CONFIGURATION mode management route ip-address/mask gateway – ip-address: the network address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.
– level: is the privilege level, is 15 by default, and is not required – encryption-type: specifies how you are inputting the password, is 0 by default, and is not required. * 0 is for inputting the password in clear text. * 7 is for inputting a password that is already encrypted using a DES hash. Obtain the encrypted password from the configuration file of another Dell Networking system. * 5 is for inputting a password that is already encrypted using an MD5 hash.

Configure the Overload Bit for a Startup Scenario For information about setting the router overload bit for a specific period of time after a switch reload is implemented, refer to the Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) section in the Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide. 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.
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.
- - - network - network rw tftp: rw scp: You can change the default file system so that file management commands apply to a particular device or memory. To change the default directory, use the following command. • Change the default directory. EXEC Privilege mode cd directory View Command History The command-history trace feature captures all commands entered by all users of the system with a time stamp and writes these messages to a dedicated trace log buffer.
Using Hashes to Validate Software Images You can use the MD5 message-digest algorithm or SHA256 Secure Hash Algorithm to validate the software image on the flash drive, after the image has been transferred to the system, but before the image has been installed. The validation calculates a hash value of the downloaded image file on system’s flash drive, and, optionally, compares it to a Dell Networking published hash for that file.

4 Management Management is supported on the S6000 platform. This chapter describes the different protocols or services used to manage the Dell Networking system. Configuring Privilege Levels Privilege levels restrict access to commands based on user or terminal line. There are 16 privilege levels, of which three are pre-defined. The default privilege level is 1. Level Description Level 0 Access to the system begins at EXEC mode, and EXEC mode commands are limited to enable, disable, and exit.
Allowing Access to CONFIGURATION Mode Commands To allow access to CONFIGURATION mode, use the privilege exec level level configure command from CONFIGURATION mode. A user that enters CONFIGURATION mode remains at his privilege level and has access to only two commands, end and exit. You must individually specify each CONFIGURATION mode command you want to allow access to using the privilege configure level level command.
• Allow access to a CONFIGURATION, INTERFACE, LINE, ROUTE-MAP, and/or ROUTER mode command. CONFIGURATION mode privilege {configure |interface | line | route-map | router} level level {command ||...

• 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.
The following describes the two log messages formats: • 0 – Displays syslog messages format as described in RFC 3164, The BSD syslog Protocol • 1 – Displays syslog message format as described in RFC 5424, The SYSLOG Protocol Example of Configuring the Logging Message Format Dell(conf)#logging version ? <0-1> Select syslog version (default = 0) Dell(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 sy
2. On the syslog server, create a reverse SSH tunnel from the syslog server to FTOS switch, using following syntax: ssh -R :: user@remote_host -nNf 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”.
Sending System Messages to a Syslog Server To send system messages to a specified syslog server, use the following command. The following syslog standards are supported: RFC 5424 The SYSLOG Protocol, R.Gerhards and Adiscon GmbH, March 2009, obsoletes RFC 3164 and RFC 5426 Transmission of Syslog Messages over UDP. • Specify the server to which you want to send system messages. You can configure up to eight syslog servers.
• Specify the minimum severity level for logging to the syslog history table. CONFIGURATION mode • logging history level Specify the size of the logging buffer. CONFIGURATION mode logging buffered size • NOTE: When you decrease the buffer size, Dell Networking OS deletes all messages stored in the buffer. Increasing the buffer size does not affect messages in the buffer. Specify the number of messages that Dell Networking OS saves to its logging history table.

Example of the show running-config logging Command To view nondefault settings, use the show running-config logging command in EXEC mode. Dell#show running-config logging ! logging buffered 524288 debugging service timestamps log datetime msec service timestamps debug datetime msec ! logging trap debugging logging facility user logging source-interface Loopback 0 logging 10.10.10.
CONFIGURATION mode service timestamps [log | debug] [datetime [localtime] [msec] [show-timezone] | uptime] Specify the following optional parameters: – You can add the keyword localtime to include the localtime, msec, and show-timezone. If you do not add the keyword localtime, the time is UTC. – uptime: To view time since last boot. If you do not specify a parameter, Dell Networking OS configures uptime. To view the configuration, use the show running-config logging command in EXEC privilege mode.

CONFIGURATION mode • ip ftp source-interface interface Configure a password. CONFIGURATION mode • ip ftp password password Enter a username to use on the FTP client.
line vty 0 access-class myvtyacl Dell Networking OS Behavior: Prior to Dell Networking OS version 7.4.2.0, in order to deny access on a VTY line, apply an ACL and accounting, authentication, and authorization (AAA) to the line. Then users are denied access only after they enter a username and password. Beginning in Dell Networking OS version 7.4.2.0, only an ACL is required, and users are denied access before they are prompted for a username and password.

To set time out, use the following commands.
EXEC Privilege telnet [ip-address] If you do not enter an IP address, Dell Networking OS enters a Telnet dialog that prompts you for one. Enter an IPv4 address in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D). Enter an IPv6 address in the format 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000. Elision of zeros is supported. Example of the telnet Command for Device Access Dell# telnet 10.11.80.203 Trying 10.11.80.203... Connected to 10.11.80.203. Exit character is '^]'.

802.1X 5 802.1X is supported on the S6000 platform. 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 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.
3. The authenticator decapsulates the EAP response from the EAPOL frame, encapsulates it in a RADIUS Access-Request frame and forwards the frame to the authentication server. 4. The authentication server replies with an Access-Challenge frame. The Access-Challenge frame requests that the supplicant prove that it is who it claims to be, using a specified method (an EAPMethod). The challenge is translated and forwarded to the supplicant by the authenticator. 5.
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 • Dell Networking OS supports 802.1X with EAP-MD5, EAP-OTP, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAPv0, PEAPv1, and MS-CHAPv2 with PEAP. • All platforms support only RADIUS as the authentication server. • If the primary RADIUS server becomes unresponsive, the authenticator begins using a secondary RADIUS server, if configured. • 802.1X is not supported on port-channels or port-channel members. 78 802.
Enabling 802.1X Enable 802.1X globally. 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 802.1X on the supplicant interface only. INTERFACE mode dot1x authentication 802.
Examples of Verifying that 802.1X is Enabled Globally and 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. In the following example, the bold lines show that 802.1X is enabled. Dell#show running-config | find dot1x dot1x authentication ! [output omitted] ! interface TenGigabitEthernet 2/1 no ip address dot1x authentication no shutdown ! Dell# To view 802.
To configure re-transmissions, use the following commands. • Configure the amount of time that the authenticator waits before re-transmitting an EAP Request Identity frame. INTERFACE mode dot1x tx-period number The range is from 1 to 65535 (1 year) • The default is 30. Configure a maximum number of times the authenticator re-transmits a Request Identity frame. INTERFACE mode dot1x max-eap-req number The range is from 1 to 10. The default is 2.
The bold lines show the new re-transmit interval, new quiet period, and new maximum re-transmissions. FTOS(conf-if-range-Te-0/0)#dot1x tx-period 90 FTOS(conf-if-range-Te-0/0)#dot1x max-eap-req 10 FTOS(conf-if-range-Te-0/0)#dot1x quiet-period 120 FTOS#show dot1x interface TenGigabitEthernet 2/1 802.

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 inDynamic 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. 5.
If the supplicant fails authentication, the authenticator typically does not enable the port. In some cases this behavior is not appropriate. External users of an enterprise network, for example, might not be able to be authenticated, but still need access to the network. Also, some dumb-terminals, such as network printers, do not have 802.1X capability and therefore cannot authenticate themselves.

Access Control Lists (ACLs) 6 This chapter describes access control lists (ACLs), prefix lists, and route-maps. • Access control lists (ACLs), Ingress IP and MAC ACLs , and Egress IP and MAC ACLs are supported on the S6000 platform. At their simplest, access control lists (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.
• Port/VLAN based IMPLICIT DENY Rules • VRF based PERMIT/DENY Rules • VRF based IMPLICIT DENY Rules NOTE: In order for the VRF ACLs to take effect, ACLs configured in the Layer 3 CAM region must have an implicit-permit option. You can use the ip access-group command to configure VRF-aware ACLs on interfaces. Using the ip access-group command, in addition to a range of VLANs, you can also specify a range of VRFs as input for configuring ACLs on interfaces. The VRF range is from 1 to 63.
• CAM Optimization User Configurable CAM Allocation User configurable CAM allocations are supported on the S6000 platform. Allocate space for IPV6 ACLs by using the cam-acl command in CONFIGURATION mode. The CAM space is allotted in filter processor (FP) blocks. The total space allocated must equal 13 FP blocks. (There are 16 FP blocks, but System Flow requires three blocks that cannot be reallocated.) Enter the ipv6acl allocation as a factor of 2 (2, 4, 6, 8, 10).
Implementing ACLs on Dell Networking OS You can assign one IP ACL per interface with Dell Networking OS. If you do not assign an IP ACL to an interface, it is not used by the software in any other capacity. The number of entries allowed per ACL is hardware-dependent. For detailed specification on entries allowed per ACL, refer to your line card documentation.
closer to 0) before rules with higher-order numbers so that packets are matched as you intended. By default, all ACL rules have an order of 255. Example of the order Keyword to Determine ACL Sequence Dell(conf)#ip access-list standard acl1 Dell(config-std-nacl)#permit 20.0.0.0/8 Dell(config-std-nacl)#exit Dell(conf)#ip access-list standard acl2 Dell(config-std-nacl)#permit 20.1.1.
To create a route map, use the following command. • Create a route map and assign it a unique name. The optional permit and deny keywords are the action of the route map. CONFIGURATION mode route-map map-name [permit | deny] [sequence-number] The default is permit. The optional seq keyword allows you to assign a sequence number to the route map instance. Configured Route Map Examples The default action is permit and the default sequence number starts at 10.
The following example shows a route map with multiple instances. The show config command displays only the configuration of the current route map instance. To view all instances of a specific route map, use the show route-map command.
Example of the match Command to Permit and Deny Routes Dell(conf)#route-map force permit 10 Dell(config-route-map)#match tag 1000 Dell(conf)#route-map force deny 20 Dell(config-route-map)#match tag 1000 Dell(conf)#route-map force deny 30 Dell(config-route-map)#match tag 1000 Configuring Match Routes To configure match criterion for a route map, use the following commands. • Match routes with the same AS-PATH numbers.
• Match next-hop routes specified in a prefix list (IPv6). CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP mode • match ipv6 next-hop {access-list-name | prefix-list prefix-list-name} Match source routes specified in a prefix list (IPv4). CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP mode • match ip route-source {access-list-name | prefix-list prefix-list-name} Match source routes specified in a prefix list (IPv6). CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP mode • match ipv6 route-source {access-list-name | prefix-list prefix-list-name} Match routes with a specific value.
CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP mode • set local-preference value Specify a value for redistributed routes. CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP mode • set metric {+ | - | metric-value} Specify an OSPF or ISIS type for redistributed routes. CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP mode • set metric-type {external | internal | type-1 | type-2} Assign an IP address as the route’s next hop. CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP mode • set next-hop ip-address Assign an IPv6 address as the route’s next hop.
In the following example, the redistribute command calls the route map static ospf to redistribute only certain static routes into OSPF. According to the route map static ospf, only routes that have a next hop of Gigabitethernet interface 0/0 and that have a metric of 255 are redistributed into the OSPF backbone area. NOTE: When re-distributing routes using route-maps, you must create the route-map defined in the redistribute command under the routing protocol.
Example of Using the continue Clause in a Route Map ! route-map test permit 10 match commu comm-list1 set community 1:1 1:2 1:3 set as-path prepend 1 2 3 4 5 continue 30! IP Fragment Handling Dell Networking OS supports a configurable option to explicitly deny IP fragmented packets, particularly second and subsequent packets. It extends the existing ACL command syntax with the fragments keyword for all Layer 3 rules applicable to all Layer protocols (permit/deny ip/tcp/udp/icmp).
Layer 4 ACL Rules Examples The following examples show the ACL commands for Layer 4 packet filtering. Permit an ACL line with L3 information only, and the fragments keyword is present: If a packet’s L3 information matches the L3 information in the ACL line, the packet's FO is checked. • If a packet's FO > 0, the packet is permitted. • If a packet's FO = 0, the next ACL entry is processed.
Configure a Standard IP ACL To configure an ACL, use commands in IP ACCESS LIST mode and INTERFACE mode. For a complete list of all the commands related to IP ACLs, refer to the Dell Networking OS Command Line Interface Reference Guide. To set up extended ACLs, refer to Configure an Extended IP ACL. A standard IP ACL uses the source IP address as its match criterion. 1. Enter IP ACCESS LIST mode by naming a standard IP access list. CONFIGURATION mode ip access-list standard access-listname 2.
If you are creating a standard ACL with only one or two filters, you can let Dell Networking OS assign a sequence number based on the order in which the filters are configured. The software assigns filters in multiples of 5. Configuring a Standard IP ACL Filter If you are creating a standard ACL with only one or two filters, you can let Dell Networking OS assign a sequence number based on the order in which the filters are configured. The software assigns filters in multiples of five. 1.
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. Configure an Extended IP ACL Extended IP ACLs filter on source and destination IP addresses, IP host addresses, TCP addresses, TCP host addresses, UDP addresses, and UDP host addresses.
Configure Filters, TCP Packets To create a filter for UDP packets with a specified sequence number, use the following commands. 1. Create an extended IP ACL and assign it a unique name. CONFIGURATION mode ip access-list extended access-list-name 2. Configure an extended IP ACL filter for UDP packets.
CONFIG-EXT-NACL mode {deny | permit} udp {source mask | any | host ip-address}} [count [byte]] [order] [fragments] When you use the log keyword, the CP logs details about the packets that match. Depending on how many packets match the log entry and at what rate, the CP may become busy as it has to log these packets’ details. 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 Deny L3 ACL denies. 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.
4. Apply rules to the new ACL. INTERFACE mode ip access-list [standard | extended] name To view which IP ACL is applied to an interface, use the show config command in INTERFACE mode, or use the show running-config command in EXEC mode. Example of Viewing ACLs Applied to an Interface Dell(conf-if)#show conf ! interface GigabitEthernet 0/0 ip address 10.2.1.100 255.255.255.

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.D is a dotted-decimal address and /X is the number of bits that should be matched of the dotted decimal address. For example, in 112.24.0.0/16, the first 16 bits of the address 112.24.0.0 match all addresses between 112.24.0.0 to 112.24.255.255. The following examples show permit or deny filters for specific routes using the le and ge parameters, where x.x.x.
Creating a Prefix List To create a prefix list, use the following commands. 1. Create a prefix list and assign it a unique name. You are in PREFIX LIST mode. CONFIGURATION mode ip prefix-list prefix-name 2. Create a prefix list with a sequence number and a deny or permit action. CONFIG-NPREFIXL mode seq sequence-number {deny | permit} ip-prefix [ge min-prefix-length] [le max-prefix-length] The optional parameters are: • ge min-prefix-length: the minimum prefix length to match (from 0 to 32).
Creating a Prefix List Without a Sequence Number To create a filter without a specified sequence number, use the following commands. 1. Create a prefix list and assign it a unique name. CONFIGURATION mode ip prefix-list prefix-name 2. Create a prefix list filter with a deny or permit action. CONFIG-NPREFIXL mode {deny | permit} ip-prefix [ge min-prefix-length] [le max-prefix-length] The optional parameters are: • ge min-prefix-length: is the minimum prefix length to be matched (0 to 32).
ip prefix-list filter_in: count: 3, range entries: 3, sequences: 5 - 10 seq 5 deny 1.102.0.0/16 le 32 (hit count: 0) seq 6 deny 2.1.0.0/16 ge 23 (hit count: 0) seq 10 permit 0.0.0.0/0 le 32 (hit count: 0) ip prefix-list filter_ospf: count: 4, range entries: 1, sequences: 5 - 10 seq 5 deny 100.100.1.0/24 (hit count: 0) seq 6 deny 200.200.1.0/24 (hit count: 0) seq 7 deny 200.200.2.0/24 (hit count: 0) seq 10 permit 0.0.0.
Applying a Filter to a Prefix List (OSPF) To apply a filter to routes in open shortest path first (OSPF), use the following commands. • Enter OSPF mode. CONFIGURATION mode • router ospf Apply a configured prefix list to incoming routes. You can specify an interface. If you enter the name of a non-existent prefix list, all routes are forwarded. CONFIG-ROUTER-OSPF mode • distribute-list prefix-list-name in [interface] Apply a configured prefix list to incoming routes.

Flow-Based Monitoring Support for ACLs Flow-based monitoring is supported on the S6000 platform. 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 mechanism copies incoming packets that matches the ACL rules applied on the ingress port and forwards (mirrors) them to another port.
destination port, and the endpoint to which the packet must be forwarded when a match occurs with the ACL entry. If you configure the flow-based enable command and do not apply an ACL on the source port or the monitored port, both flow-based monitoring and port mirroring do not function. Flow-based monitoring is supported only for ingress traffic and not for egress packets. The port mirroring application maintains a database that contains all monitoring sessions (including port monitor sessions).
Enabling Flow-Based Monitoring Flow-based monitoring is supported on the S6000 platform. Flow-based monitoring conserves bandwidth by monitoring only specified traffic instead of all traffic on the interface. This feature is particularly useful when looking for malicious traffic. It is available for Layer 2 and Layer 3 ingress and egress traffic. You can specify traffic using standard or extended access-lists. 1. Enable flow-based monitoring for a monitoring session.

7 Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) Bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) is supported only on the S6000 platform. 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.
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. The following illustration shows the complete encapsulation of a BFD control packet inside an IPv4 packet. Figure 8. BFD in IPv4 Packet Format Field Description Diagnostic Code The reason that the last session failed. State The current local session state.
Field Description system clears the poll bit and sets the final bit in its response. The poll and final bits are used during the handshake and in Demand mode (refer to BFD Sessions). NOTE: 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.
BFD Sessions BFD must be enabled on both sides of a link in order to establish a session. The two participating systems can assume either of two roles: Active The active system initiates the BFD session. Both systems can be active for the same session. Passive The passive system does not initiate a session. It only responds to a request for session initialization from the active system.
handshake. Now the discriminator values have been exchanged and the transmit intervals have been negotiated. 4. The passive system receives the control packet and changes its state to Up. Both systems agree that a session has been established. However, because both members must send a control packet — that requires a response — anytime there is a state change or change in a session parameter, the passive system sends a final response indicating the state change.
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 • On the platform, Dell Networking OS supports 128 sessions per stack unit at 200 minimum transmit and receive intervals with a multiplier of 3, and 64 sessions at 100 minimum transmit and receive intervals with a multiplier of 4. • Enable BFD on both ends of a link.
• Configure BFD for IS-IS • Configure BFD for BGP • Configure BFD for VRRP • Configuring Protocol Liveness • Troubleshooting BFD Configure BFD for Physical Ports Configuring BFD for physical ports is supported on the C-Series and E-Series platforms only. 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.
Establishing a Session on Physical Ports To establish a session, enable BFD at the interface level on both ends of the link, as shown in the following illustration. The configuration parameters do not need to match. Figure 11. Establishing a BFD Session on Physical Ports 1. Enter interface mode. CONFIGURATION mode interface 2. Assign an IP address to the interface if one is not already assigned. INTERFACE mode ip address ip-address 3.
Remote Addr: 2.2.2.
Number of messages from IFA about port state change: 0 Number of messages communicated b/w Manager and Agent: 7 Disabling and Re-Enabling BFD BFD is enabled on all interfaces by default, though sessions are not created unless explicitly configured. If you disable BFD, all of the sessions on that interface are placed in an Administratively Down state ( the first message example), and the remote systems are notified of the session state change (the second message example).
Establishing Sessions for Static Routes Sessions are established for all neighbors that are the next hop of a static route. Figure 12. Establishing Sessions for Static Routes To establish a BFD session, use the following command. • Establish BFD sessions for all neighbors that are the next hop of a static route. CONFIGURATION mode ip route bfd Example of the show bfd neighbors Command to Verify Static Routes To verify that sessions have been created for static routes, use the show bfd neighbors command.
• Change parameters for all static route sessions. CONFIGURATION mode ip route bfd interval milliseconds min_rx milliseconds multiplier value role [active | passive] To view session parameters, use the show bfd neighbors detail command, as shown in the examples in Displaying BFD for BGP Information. Disabling BFD for Static Routes If you disable BFD, all static route BFD sessions are torn down.
Establishing Sessions with OSPF Neighbors BFD sessions can be established with all OSPF neighbors at once or sessions can be established with all neighbors out of a specific interface. Sessions are only established when the OSPF adjacency is in the Full state. Figure 13. Establishing Sessions with OSPF Neighbors To establish BFD with all OSPF neighbors or with OSPF neighbors on a single interface, use the following commands. • Establish sessions with all OSPF neighbors.
INTERFACE mode ip ospf bfd all-neighbors Example of Verifying Sessions with OSPF Neighbors To view the established sessions, use the show bfd neighbors command.

INTERFACE mode ip ospf bfd all-neighbors disable Configure BFD for OSPFv3 BFD for OSPFv3 is only supported on the platform. BFD for OSPFv3 provides support for IPV6. Configuring BFD for OSPFv3 is a two-step process: 1. Enable BFD globally. 2. Establish sessions with OSPFv3 neighbors.
To view session parameters, use the show bfd neighbors detail command, as shown in the example in Displaying BFD for BGP Information. • Change parameters for all OSPFv3 sessions. ROUTER-OSPFv3 mode • bfd all-neighbors interval milliseconds min_rx milliseconds multiplier value role [active | passive] Change parameters for OSPFv3 sessions on a single interface.
Establishing Sessions with IS-IS Neighbors BFD sessions can be established for all IS-IS neighbors at once or sessions can be established for all neighbors out of a specific interface. Figure 14. Establishing Sessions with IS-IS Neighbors To establish BFD with all IS-IS neighbors or with IS-IS neighbors on a single interface, use the following commands. • Establish sessions with all IS-IS neighbors. ROUTER-ISIS mode • bfd all-neighbors Establish sessions with IS-IS neighbors on a single interface.
The bold line shows that IS-IS BFD sessions are enabled.

INTERFACE mose isis bfd all-neighbors disable Configure BFD for BGP Bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) for BGP is supported on the S6000 platform. In a BGP core network, BFD provides rapid detection of communication failures in BGP fast-forwarding paths between internal BGP (iBGP) and external BGP (eBGP) peers for faster network reconvergence. BFD for BGP is supported on 1GE, 10GE, 40GE, port-channel, and VLAN interfaces. BFD for BGP does not support IPv6 and the BGP multihop feature.
Figure 15. Establishing Sessions with BGP Neighbors The sample configuration shows alternative ways to establish a BFD session with a BGP neighbor: • By establishing BFD sessions with all neighbors discovered by BGP (the bfd all-neighbors command). • By establishing a BFD session with a specified BGP neighbor (the neighbor {ip-address | peergroup-name} bfd command) BFD packets originating from a router are assigned to the highest priority egress queue to minimize transmission delays.
typical response is to terminate the peering session for the routing protocol and reconverge by bypassing the failed neighboring router. A log message is generated whenever BFD detects a failure condition. 1. Enable BFD globally. CONFIGURATION mode bfd enable 2. Specify the AS number and enter ROUTER BGP configuration mode. CONFIGURATION mode router bgp as-number 3. Add a BGP neighbor or peer group in a remote AS. CONFIG-ROUTERBGP mode neighbor {ip-address | peer-group name} remote-as as-number 4.

Establishing Sessions with All VRRP Neighbors BFD sessions can be established for all VRRP neighbors at once, or a session can be established with a particular neighbor. Figure 16. Establishing Sessions with All VRRP Neighbors To establish sessions with all VRRP neighbors, use the following command. • Establish sessions with all VRRP neighbors.
The bold line shows that VRRP BFD sessions are enabled. Dell(conf-if-gi-4/25)#vrrp bfd all-neighbors Dell(conf-if-gi-4/25)#do show bfd neighbor * - Active session role Ad Dn - Admin Down C - CLI I - ISIS O - OSPF R - Static Route (RTM) V - VRRP LocalAddr RemoteAddr Interface State Rx-int Tx-int Mult Clients * 2.2.5.1 2.2.5.2 Gi 4/25 Down 1000 1000 3 V To view session state information, use the show vrrp command.

Disabling BFD for VRRP If you disable any or all VRRP sessions, the sessions are torn down. A final Admin Down control packet is sent to all neighbors and sessions on the remote system change to the Down state. To disable all VRRP sessions on an interface, sessions for a particular VRRP group, or for a particular VRRP session on an interface, use the following commands. • Disable all VRRP sessions on an interface. INTERFACE mode • no vrrp bfd all-neighbors Disable all VRRP sessions in a VRRP group.

Border Gateway Protocol IPv4 (BGPv4) 8 Border gateway protocol IPv4 (BGPv4) version 4 (BGPv4) is supported on the S6000 platform. This chapter provides a general description of BGPv4 as it is supported in the Dell Networking Operating System (OS). 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).
Figure 17. Internal 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. In order to make decisions in its operations with other BGP peers, a BGP process uses a simple finite state machine that consists of six states: Idle, Connect, Active, OpenSent, OpenConfirm, and Established. For each peer-to-peer session, a BGP implementation tracks which of these six states the session is in.
Route reflection divides iBGP peers into two groups: client peers and nonclient peers. A route reflector and its client peers form a route reflection cluster. Because BGP speakers announce only the best route for a given prefix, route reflector rules are applied after the router makes its best path decision. • If a route was received from a nonclient peer, reflect the route to all client peers. • If the route was received from a client peer, reflect the route to all nonclient and all client peers.
• Next Hop NOTE: There are no hard coded limits on the number of attributes that are supported in the BGP. Taking into account other constraints such as the Packet Size, maximum number of attributes are supported in BGP. Communities BGP communities are sets of routes with one or more common attributes. Communities are a way to assign common attributes to multiple routes at the same time. NOTE: Duplicate communities are not rejected.

Dell Networking OS deems the paths as equal and does not perform steps 9 through 11, if the following criteria is met: a.
and AS300. This is advertised to all routers within AS100, causing all BGP speakers to prefer the path through Router B. 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.
Figure 22. Multi-Exit Discriminators NOTE: 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. If the outbound route-map uses MED, it overwrites IGP MED. Origin The origin indicates the origin of the prefix, or how the prefix came into BGP. There are three origin codes: IGP, EGP, INCOMPLETE.
*> 7.0.0.0/30 *> 9.2.0.0/16 10.114.8.33 10.114.8.33 0 10 0 0 18508 18508 ? 701 i 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. NOTE: Any update that contains the AS path number 0 is valid. The AS path is shown in the following example. The origin attribute is shown following the AS path information (shown in bold).
Multiprotocol BGP Multiprotocol extensions for BGP (MBGP) is defined in IETF RFC 2858. MBGP allows different types of address families to be distributed in parallel. MBGP for IPv4 multicast is supported on the S6000 platform. MBGP allows information about the topology of the IP multicast-capable routers to be exchanged separately from the topology of normal IPv4 and IPv6 unicast routers. It allows a multicast routing topology different from the unicast routing topology.
• internal configured, BGP advertises the metric configured in the redistribute command as MED. If BGP peer outbound route-map has metric configured, all other metrics are overwritten by this configuration. NOTE: When redistributing static, connected, or OSPF routes, there is no metric option. Simply assign the appropriate route-map to the redistributed route. The following table lists some examples of these rules. Table 6.
Configure 4-byte AS numbers with the four-octet-support command. AS4 Number Representation Dell Networking OS supports multiple representations of 4-byte AS numbers: asplain, asdot+, and asdot. NOTE: The ASDOT and ASDOT+ representations are supported only with the 4-Byte AS numbers feature. If 4-Byte AS numbers are not implemented, only ASPLAIN representation is supported. ASPLAIN is the method Dell Networking OS has used for all previous Dell Networking OS versions.

appear as if it still belongs to Router B’s old network (AS 200) as far as communicating with Router C is concerned. Figure 23. Before and After AS Number Migration with Local-AS Enabled When you complete your migration, and you have reconfigured your network with the new information, disable this feature. If you use the “no prepend” option, the Local-AS does not prepend to the updates received from the eBGP peer.
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. BGP4 Management Information Base (MIB) The FORCE10-BGP4-V2-MIB enhances Dell Networking OS BGP management information base (MIB) support with many new simple network management protocol (SNMP) objects and notifications (traps) defined in draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-mibv2-05.
• The f10BgpM2[Cfg]PeerReflectorClient field is populated based on the assumption that routereflector clients are not in a full mesh if you enable BGP client-2-client reflection and that the BGP speaker acting as reflector advertises routes learned from one client to another client. If disabled, it is assumed that clients are in a full mesh and there is no need to advertise prefixes to the other clients. • High CPU utilization may be observed during an SNMP walk of a large BGP Loc-RIB.
By default, Dell Networking OS compares the MED attribute on different paths from within the same AS (the bgp always-compare-med command is not enabled). NOTE: In Dell Networking OS, all newly configured neighbors and peer groups are disabled. To enable a neighbor or peer group, enter the neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} no shutdown command. The following table displays the default values for BGP on Dell Networking OS. Table 7.
NOTE: Sample Configurations for enabling BGP routers are found at the end of this chapter. 1. Assign an AS number and enter ROUTER BGP mode. CONFIGURATION mode router bgp as-number • as-number: from 0 to 65535 (2 Byte) or from 1 to 4294967295 (4 Byte) or 0.1 to 65535.65535 (Dotted format). Only one AS is supported per system. NOTE: If you enter a 4-Byte AS number, 4-Byte AS support is enabled automatically. a. Enable 4-Byte support for the BGP process. NOTE: This command is OPTIONAL.
3. Enable the BGP neighbor. CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} no shutdown Examples of the show ip bgp Commands NOTE: When you change the configuration of a BGP neighbor, always reset it by entering the clear ip bgp * command in EXEC Privilege mode. To view the BGP configuration, enter show config in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode. To view the BGP status, use the show ip bgp summary command in EXEC Privilege mode.
For the router’s identifier, Dell Networking OS uses the highest IP address of the Loopback interfaces configured. Because Loopback interfaces are virtual, they cannot go down, thus preventing changes in the router ID. If you do not configure Loopback interfaces, the highest IP address of any interface is used as the router ID. To view the status of BGP neighbors, use the show ip bgp neighbors command in EXEC Privilege mode as shown in the first example.

Configuring Peer Groups To configure multiple BGP neighbors at one time, create and populate a BGP peer group. An advantage of peer groups is that members of a peer group inherit the configuration properties of the group and share same update policy. A maximum of 256 peer groups are allowed on the system. Create a peer group by assigning it a name, then adding members to the peer group. After you create a peer group, you can configure route policies for it.
6. Add a neighbor as a remote AS. CONFIG-ROUTERBGP mode neighbor {ip-address | peer-group name} remote-as as-number Formats: IP Address A.B.C.D • Peer-Group Name: 16 characters. • as-number: the range is from 0 to 65535 (2-Byte) or 1 to 4294967295 | 0.1 to 65535.65535 (4Byte) or 0.1 to 65535.65535 (Dotted format) To add an external BGP (EBGP) neighbor, configure the as-number parameter with a number different from the BGP as-number configured in the router bgp as-number command.

BGP routers typically carry large routing tables, so frequent session resets are not desirable. The BGP fast fall-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.

You can constrain the number of passive sessions accepted by the neighbor. The limit keyword allows you to set the total number of sessions the neighbor will accept, between 2 and 265. The default is 256 sessions. 1. Configure a peer group that does not initiate TCP connections with other peers. CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode neighbor peer-group-name peer-group passive limit Enter the limit keyword to restrict the number of sessions accepted. 2. Assign a subnet to the peer group.
Example of the Verifying that Local AS Numbering is Disabled The first line in bold shows the actual AS number. The second two lines in bold show the local AS number (6500) maintained during migration. To disable this feature, use the no neighbor local-as command in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode.

• Defer best path selection for a certain amount of time. This helps optimize path selection and results in fewer updates being sent out. To enable graceful restart, use the configure router bgp graceful-restart command. • 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.
• neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} graceful-restart [role receiver-only] Set the maximum time to retain the restarting neighbor’s or peer-group’s stale paths. CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} graceful-restart [stale-path-time time-in-seconds] The default is 360 seconds. Filtering on an AS-Path Attribute You can use the BGP attribute, AS_PATH, to manipulate routing policies. The AS_PATH attribute contains a sequence of AS numbers representing the route’s path.
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 [ ] (brackets) Matches any enclosed character and specifies a range of single characters. - (hyphen) Used within brackets to specify a range of AS or community numbers. _ (underscore) Matches a ^, a $, a comma, a space, or a {, or a }. Placed on either side of a string to specify a literal and disallow substring matching. You can precede or follow numerals enclosed by underscores by any of the characters listed.
Redistributing Routes In addition to filtering routes, you can add routes from other routing instances or protocols to the BGP process. With the redistribute command, you can include ISIS, OSPF, static, or directly connected routes in the BGP process. To add routes from other routing instances or protocols, use any of the following commands in ROUTER BGP mode. • Include, directly connected or user-configured (static) routes in BGP.
To allow multiple paths sent to peers, use the following commands. 1. Allow the advertisement of multiple paths for the same address prefix without the new paths replacing any previous ones. CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode bgp add-path [both|received|send] path-count count The range is from 2 to 64. 2. Allow the specified neighbor/peer group to send/ receive multiple path advertisements.
To configure an IP community list, use these commands. 1. Create a community list and enter COMMUNITY-LIST mode. CONFIGURATION mode ip community-list community-list-name 2. Configure a community list by denying or permitting specific community numbers or types of community.
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.
Filtering Routes with Community Lists To use an IP community list or IP extended community list to filter routes, you must apply a match community filter to a route map and then apply that route map to a BGP neighbor or peer group. 1. Enter the ROUTE-MAP mode and assign a name to a route map. CONFIGURATION mode route-map map-name [permit | deny] [sequence-number] 2. Configure a match filter for all routes meeting the criteria in the IP community or IP extended community list.
To view the BGP configuration, use the show config command in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode. If you want to remove or add a specific COMMUNITY number from a BGP path, you must create a route map with one or both of the following statements in the route map. Then apply that route map to a BGP neighbor or peer group. 1. Enter ROUTE-MAP mode and assign a name to a route map. CONFIGURATION mode route-map map-name [permit | deny] [sequence-number] 2.

CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode bgp default local-preference value – value: the range is from 0 to 4294967295. The default is 100. To view the BGP configuration, use the show config command in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode or the show running-config bgp command in EXEC Privilege mode. A more flexible method for manipulating the LOCAL_PREF attribute value is to use a route map. 1. Enter the ROUTE-MAP mode and assign a name to a route map. CONFIGURATION mode route-map map-name [permit | deny] [sequence-number] 2.
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. • Assign a weight to the neighbor connection. CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} weight weight – weight: the range is from 0 to 65535. • The default is 0. Sets weight for the route.
For inbound and outbound updates the order of preference is: • prefix lists (using the neighbor distribute-list command) • AS-PATH ACLs (using the neighbor filter-list command) • route maps (using the neighbor route-map command) Prior to filtering BGP routes, create the prefix list, AS-PATH ACL, or route map. For configuration information about prefix lists, AS-PATH ACLs, and route maps, refer to Access Control Lists (ACLs).
• If the prefix list contains no filters, all routes are permitted. • If none of the routes match any of the filters in the prefix list, the route is denied. This action is called an implicit deny. (If you want to forward all routes that do not match the prefix list criteria, you must configure a prefix list filter to permit all routes. For example, you could have the following filter as the last filter in your prefix list permit 0.0.0.0/0 le 32).
Filtering BGP Routes Using AS-PATH Information To filter routes based on AS-PATH information, use these commands. 1. Create a AS-PATH ACL and assign it a name. CONFIGURATION mode ip as-path access-list as-path-name 2. Create a AS-PATH ACL filter with a deny or permit action. AS-PATH ACL mode {deny | permit} as-regular-expression 3. Return to CONFIGURATION mode. AS-PATH ACL exit 4. Enter ROUTER BGP mode. CONFIGURATION mode router bgp as-number 5.
• Assign an ID to a router reflector cluster. CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode bgp cluster-id cluster-id • You can have multiple clusters in an AS. Configure the local router as a route reflector and the neighbor or peer group identified is the route reflector client. CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} route-reflector-client When you enable a route reflector, Dell Networking OS automatically enables route reflection to all clients.
Configuring BGP Confederations Another way to organize routers within an AS and reduce the mesh for IBGP peers is to configure BGP confederations. As with route reflectors, BGP confederations are recommended only for IBGP peering involving many IBGP peering sessions per router. Basically, when you configure BGP confederations, you break the AS into smaller sub-AS, and to those outside your network, the confederations appear as one AS.
• history entry — an entry that stores information on a downed route • dampened path — a path that is no longer advertised • penalized path — a path that is assigned a penalty To configure route flap dampening parameters, set dampening parameters using a route map, clear information on route dampening and return suppressed routes to active state, view statistics on route flapping, or change the path selection from the default mode (deterministic) to non-deterministic, use the following commands.
show ip bgp flap-statistics [ip-address [mask]] [filter-list as-path-name] [regexp regular-expression] – 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 Networking OS 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.
To reset a BGP connection using BGP soft reconfiguration, use the clear ip bgp command in EXEC Privilege mode at the system prompt. When you enable soft-reconfiguration for a neighbor and you execute the clear ip bgp soft in command, the update database stored in the router is replayed and updates are reevaluated. With this command, the replay and update process is triggered only if a route-refresh request is not negotiated with the peer.
Route Map Continue The BGP route map continue feature, continue [sequence-number], (in ROUTE-MAP mode) allows movement from one route-map entry to a specific route-map entry (the sequence number). If you do not specify a sequence number, the continue feature moves to the next sequence number (also known as an “implied continue”). If a match clause exists, the continue feature executes only after a successful match occurs. If there are no successful matches, continue is ignored.
• When exchanging updates with the peer, BGP sends and receives IPv4 multicast routes if the peer is marked as supporting that AFI/SAFI. • Exchange of IPv4 multicast route information occurs through the use of two new attributes called MP_REACH_NLRI and MP_UNREACH_NLRI, for feasible and withdrawn routes, respectively. • If the peer has not been activated in any AFI/SAFI, the peer remains in Idle state.

When you enable this command, if a Policy Map containing classification rules (ACL and/or dscp/ ipprecedence rules) is applied to more than one physical interface on the same port-pipe, only a single copy of the policy is written (only 1 FP entry is used).
If you exceed the QoS CAM space, follow these steps. 1. Verify that you have configured a CAM profile that allocates 24 K entries to the IPv4 system flow region. 2. Allocate more entries in the IPv4Flow region to QoS. Dell Networking OS supports the ability to view the actual CAM usage before applying a service-policy. The test cam-usage service-policy command provides this test framework. For more information, refer to Pre-Calculating Available QoS CAM Space.
Control Plane Policing (CoPP) 10 Control plane policing (CoPP) is supported on the S6000 platform. Control plane policing (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 26. CoPP Implemented Versus CoPP Not Implemented Configure Control Plane Policing For example, border gateway protocol (BGP) and internet control message protocol (ICMP) share same queue (Q6); Q6 has 400 PPS of bandwidth by default. The desired rate of ICMP is 100 PPS and the remaining 300 PPS is assigned to BGP. If ICMP packets come at 400 PPS, BGP packets may be dropped though ICMP packets are rate-limited to 100 PPS.
CoPP policies are configured by creating extended ACL rules and specifying rate-limits through QoS policies. The ACLs and QoS policies are assigned as service-policies. 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).
Examples of Configuring CoPP for Different Protocols The following example shows creating the IP/IPv6/MAC extended ACL.

CoPP for CPU queues converts the input rate from kbps to pps, assuming 64 bytes is the average packet size, and applies that rate to the corresponding queue.

11 Data Center Bridging (DCB) Data center bridging (DCB) is supported on the S6000 platform. NOTE: Ethernet Enhancements in Data Center Bridging The following section describes DCB. The system supports loading two DCB_Config files: FCoE_DCB_Config and iSCSI_DCB_Config. These files are located in the root directory flash:/CONFIG_TEMPLATE. After copying the configuration files to the startup config and reloading the system.
network that may drop packets in case of network congestion. IP networks rely on transport protocols (for example, TCP) for reliable data transmission with the associated cost of greater processing overhead and performance impact. Storage traffic Storage traffic based on Fibre Channel media uses the Small Computer System Interface (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.
The system supports loading two DCB_Config files: • FCoE converged traffic with priority 3. • iSCSI storage traffic with priority 4. In the Dell Networking OS, PFC is implemented as follows: • PFC is supported on specified 802.1p priority traffic (dot1p 0 to 7) and is configured per interface. However, only two lossless queues are supported on an interface: one for FCoE converged traffic with priority 3 and one for iSCSI storage traffic with priority 4.
• PFC uses DCB MIB IEEE 802.1azd2.5 and PFC MIB IEEE 802.1bb-d2.2. • PFC is supported on specified 802.1p priority traffic (dot1p 0 to 7) and is configured per interface. However, only two lossless queues are supported on an interface: one for Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) converged traffic and one for Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) storage traffic. Configure the same lossless queues on all ports.
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 configurable; 8 - 14 reservation and 15.0 - 15.7 is strict priority group..
Data Center Bridging Exchange Protocol (DCBx) The data center bridging exchange (DCBx) protocol is disabled by default on the S4810; ETS is also disabled. 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.
Enabling Data Center Bridging DCB is automatically configured when you configure FCoE or iSCSI optimization. Data center bridging supports converged enhanced Ethernet (CEE) in a data center network. DCB is disabled by default. It must be enabled to support CEE. • Priority-based flow control • Enhanced transmission selection • Data center bridging exchange protocol • FCoE initialization protocol (FIP) snooping DCB processes virtual local area network (VLAN)-tagged packets and dot1p priority values.
NOTE: Dell Networking does not recommend mapping all ingress traffic to a single queue when using PFC and ETS. However, Dell Networking does recommend using Ingress traffic classification using the service-class dynamic dot1p command (honor dot1p) on all DCB-enabled interfaces.
fpStatsPerPgTa ble This table fetches the Allocated Min cells, Shared cells and Headroom cells per Priority Group, the mode in which the buffer cells are allocated - Static or Dynamic and the Used Min Cells, Shared cells and Headroom cells per Priority Group. The table fetches a value of 0 if the mode of allocation is Static and a value of 1 if the mode of allocation is Dynamic. This table is indexed by stack-unit number, port number and priority group number.
3. Configure the CoS traffic to be stopped for the specified delay. DCB INPUT POLICY mode pfc priority priority-range Enter the 802.1p values of the frames to be paused. The range is from 0 to 7. The default is none. Maximum number of loss less queues supported on the switch: 2. Separate priority values with a comma. Specify a priority range with a dash, for example: pfc priority 1,3,5-7. 4.
To remove a DCB input policy, including the PFC configuration it contains, use the no dcb-input policy-name command in INTERFACE Configuration mode. To disable PFC operation on an interface, use the no pfc mode on command in DCB Input Policy Configuration mode. PFC is enabled and disabled as the global DCB operation is enabled (dcb enable) or disabled (no dcb enable). You can enable any number of 802.1p priorities for PFC. Queues to which PFC priority traffic is mapped are lossless by default.
Lossless traffic egresses out the no-drop queues. Ingress dot1p traffic from PFC-enabled interfaces is automatically mapped to the no-drop egress queues. 1. Enter INTERFACE Configuration mode. CONFIGURATION mode interface type slot/port 2. Configure the port queues that will still function as no-drop queues for lossless traffic. INTERFACE mode pfc no-drop queues queue-range For the dot1p-queue assignments, refer to the dot1p Priority-Queue Assignment table.
You can configure the size of the PFC buffer for all switches in a stack or all port pipes on a specified stack unit by entering the following commands on the master switch. • Configure the PFC buffer for all switches in the stack. CONFIGURATION mode [no] dcb stack-unit all pfc-buffering pfc-port {1-64} pfc-queues {1-2} • By default, the PFC buffer is enabled on all ports on the stack unit.
4. Apply the DCB output policy to an interface. ETS Prerequisites and Restrictions The following prerequisites and restrictions apply when you configure ETS bandwidth allocation or queue scheduling and apply a DCB output policy on an interface. • Configuring ETS bandwidth allocation or a queue scheduler for dot1p priorities in a priority group is applicable if the DCBx version used on a port is CIN (refer to Configuring DCBx).
3. (Optional) Configure the bandwidth percentage allocated to priority traffic in port queues. POLICY-MAP-OUT-ETS mode bandwidth-percentage percentage The percentage range is from 1 to 100% in units of 1%. The sum of bandwidth percentage assigned to dot1p priorities/queues in a priority group should be 100%. The default is none. NOTE: If you configure bandwidth allocation, you cannot configure a scheduling method in Step 2. 4. Exit DCB Output Policy Configuration mode.
DCB output-policy error: If an error occurs in an DCB output-policy configuration, the configuration is ignored and the scheduler and bandwidth allocation settings are reset to the ETS default values (all priorities are in the same ETS priority group and bandwidth is allocated equally to each priority). If an error occurs when a port receives a peer’s ETS configuration, the port’s configuration is reset to the previously configured DCB output policy.
By default, all 802.1p priorities are grouped in priority group 0 and 100% of the port bandwidth is assigned to priority group 0. The complete bandwidth is equally assigned to each priority class so that each class has 12 to 13%. The maximum number of priority groups supported in ETS output policies on an interface is equal to the number of data queues (4) on the port. The 802.1p priorities in a priority group can map to multiple queues.
8. Apply the output policy with the ETS configuration to an egress interface. INTERFACE mode dcb-policy output policy-name Dell Networking OS Behavior: Create a DCB output policy to associate a priority group with an ETS output policy with scheduling and bandwidth configuration. You can apply a DCB output policy on multiple egress ports. The ETS configuration associated with 802.1p priority traffic in a DCB output policy is used in DCBx negotiation with ETS peers.
If you configure only the priority group in an ETS output policy or only the dot1p priority for strictpriority 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.
CONFIGURATION mode dcb-policy input stack-unit {all | stack-unit-id} stack-ports all dcb-inputpolicy-name Entering this command removes all DCB input policies applied to stacked ports. A dcb-policy input stack-unit all command overwrites any previous dcb-policy input stack-unit stack-unit-id configurations. Similarly, a dcb-policy input stack-unit stackunit-id command overwrites any previous dcb-policy input stack-unit all configuration.
Prerequisite: For DCBx, enable LLDP on all DCB devices. DCBx Operation DCBx performs the following operations: • Discovers DCB configuration (such as PFC and ETS) in a peer device. • Detects DCB mis-configuration in a peer device; that is, when DCB features are not compatibly configured on a peer device and the local switch. Mis-configuration detection is feature-specific because some DCB features support asymmetric configuration.
When an auto-downstream port receives and overwrites its configuration with internally propagated information, one of the following actions is taken: • If the peer configuration received is compatible with the internally propagated port configuration, the link with the DCBx peer is enabled.
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.
A newly elected configuration source propagates configuration changes received from a peer to the other auto-configuration ports. Ports receiving auto-configuration information from the configuration source ignore their current settings and use the configuration source information. 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.
Behavior of Tagged Packets The below is example for enabling PFC for priority 2 for tagged packets. Priority (Packet Dot1p) 2 will be mapped to PG6 on PRIO2PG setting. All other Priorities for which PFC is not enabled are mapped to default PG – PG7. Classification rules on ingress (Ingress FP CAM region) matches incoming packet-dot1p and assigns an internal priority (to select queue as per Table 1 and Table 2).

Figure 29. 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.

The packets that come in with packet-dot1p 2 alone will use Q1 (as per dot1p to Queue classification – Table 2) on the egress port. • When Peer sends a PFC message for Priority 2, based on above PRIO2COS table (TABLE 2), Queue 1 is halted. • Queue 1 starts buffering the packets with Dot1p 2. This causes PG6 buffer counter to increase on the ingress, since P-dot1p 2 is mapped to PG6. • As the PG6 watermark threshold is reached, PFC will be generated for dot1p 2.

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.
Figure 30. PFC and ETS Applied to LAN, IPC, and SAN Priority Traffic QoS Traffic Classification: The service-class dynamic dot1p command has been used in Global Configuration mode to map ingress dot1p frames to the queues shown in the following table.

In this example, the configured ETS bandwidth allocation and scheduler behavior is as follows: Unused bandwidth usage: Strict-priority groups: Normally, if there is no traffic or unused bandwidth for a priority group, the bandwidth allocated to the group is distributed to the other priority groups according to the bandwidth percentage allocated to each group.
Step Task Command Command Mode priority-pgid dot1p0_group_num dot1p1_group_num dot1p2_group_num dot1p3_group_num dot1p4_group_num dot1p5_group_num dot1p6_group_num dot1p7_group_num DCB MAP priority groups is made available and allocated according to the specified percentages. If a priority group does not use its allocated bandwidth, the unused bandwidth is made available to other priority groups.
Step Task Command Command Mode 1 Enter interface configuration mode on an Ethernet port. CONFIGURATION interface {tengigabitEthernet slot/ port | fortygigabitEthernet slot/port} 2 Apply the DCB map on the Ethernet port to configure it with the PFC and ETS settings in the map; for example: dcb-map name INTERFACE Dell# interface tengigabitEthernet 0/0 Dell(config-if-te-0/0)# dcb-map SAN_A_dcb_map1 Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to apply a DCB map to more than one port.
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. The configuration of no-drop queues provides flexibility for ports on which PFC is not needed, but lossless traffic should egress from the interface. Lossless traffic egresses out the no-drop queues. Ingress 802.1p traffic from PFC-enabled peers is automatically mapped to the no-drop egress queues.
Data Center Bridging: Default Configuration This functionality is supported on the S6000 platform. Before you configure PFC and ETS on an S6000 switch (see Configuring DCB Maps and its Attributes), take into account the following default settings: DCB is enabled. The PFC memory buffer supports up to 52 (not 64) PFC-enabled ports and two lossless queues per port. PFC and ETS are globally enabled by default.
As soon as you apply a DCB map with PFC enabled on an interface, DCBx starts exchanging information with a peer. The IEEE802.1Qbb, CEE and CIN versions of PFC TLV are supported. DCBx also validates PFC configurations that are received in TLVs from peer devices. By applying a DCB map with PFC enabled, you enable PFC operations on ingress port traffic. To achieve complete lossless handling of traffic, configure PFC priorities on all DCB egress ports.
ETS Configuration Notes 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 traffics with different bandwidth, latency, and best-effort needs.
The following prerequisites and restrictions apply when you configure ETS bandwidth allocation or strictpriority queuing in a DCB map: • When allocating bandwidth or configuring strict-priority queuing for dot1p priorities in a priority group on a DCBx CIN interface, take into account the CIN bandwidth allocation (see Configuring Bandwidth Allocation for DCBx CIN) and dot1p-queue mapping.
Dynamic ingress buffering enables the sending of pause frames at different thresholds based on the number of ports that experience congestion at a time. This behavior impacts the total buffer size used by a particular lossless priority on an interface. The pause and resume thresholds can also be configured dynamically.
Configure the dcb-buffer-threshold command and its related parameters only on ports with either auto configuration or dcb-map configuration. This command is not supported on existing front-panel interfaces or stack ports that are configured with the dcb-input or dcb-output commands. Similarly, if the dcb-buffer-threshold configuration is present on a stack port or any interface, the dcb-input or dcbouput policies cannot be applied on those interfaces.
Configuring the Dynamic Buffer Method Priority-based flow control using dynamic buffer spaces is supported on the S6000 platform. To configure the dynamic buffer capability, perform the following steps: 1. Enable the DCB application. By default, DCB is enabled and link-level flow control is disabled on all interfaces. CONFIGURATION mode S6000-109-Dell(conf)#dcb enable 2. Configure the shared PFC buffer size and the total buffer size. A maximum of 4 lossless queues are supported.
8. Create a QoS policy buffer and enter the QoS Policy Buffer Configuration mode to configure the nodrop queues, ingress buffer size, buffer limit for pausing, and buffer offset limit for resuming.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) 12 Dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) is available on the S6000 platform. 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 Identifiers a user-defined string used by the Relay Agent to forward DHCP client packets to a specific server. L2 DHCP Snooping Option 82 User Port Stacking Option 230 Specifies IP addresses for DHCP messages received from the client that are to be monitored to build a DHCP snooping database. Set the stacking option variable to provide DHCP server stack-port detail when the DHCP offer is set. End Option 255 Signals the last option in the DHCP packet.
Figure 32. Client and Server Messaging Implementation Information The following describes DHCP implementation. • Dell Networking implements DHCP based on RFC 2131 and RFC 3046. • IP source address validation is a sub-feature of DHCP Snooping; the Dell Networking OS uses access control lists (ACLs) internally to implement this feature and as such, you cannot apply ACLs to an interface which has IP source address validation.
Configure the System to be a DHCP Server Configuring the system to be a DHCP server is supported only on the S6000 platform. A DHCP server is a network device that has been programmed to provide network configuration parameters to clients upon request. Servers typically serve many clients, making host management much more organized and efficient. The following table lists the key responsibilities of DHCP servers. Table 18.
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. DHCP mode show config After an IP address is leased to a client, only that client may release the address.
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.
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.
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 (Dell Networking OS version and a configuration file). BMP is enabled as a factory-default setting on a switch.
• Release the IP address dynamically acquired from a DHCP server from the interface. • Disable the DHCP client on the interface so it cannot acquire a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server. • Stop DHCP packet transactions on the interface. When you enter the release dhcp command, the IP address dynamically acquired from a DHCP server is released from an interface. The ability to acquire a new DHCP server-assigned address remains in the running configuration for the interface.
• To display statistics about DHCP client interfaces, use the show ip dhcp client statistics interface type slot/port command. • To clear DHCP client statistics on a specified or on all interfaces, use the clear ip dhcp client statistics {all | interface type slot/port} command. • To display dynamic IP address lease information currently assigned to a DHCP client interface, use the show ip dhcp lease [interface type slot/port] command.
Virtual Link Trunking (VLT) A DHCP client is not supported on VLT interfaces. VLAN and Port Channels DHCP client configuration and behavior are the same on Virtual LAN (VLAN) and port-channel (LAG) interfaces as on a physical interface.
The received stacking configuration is always applied on the master stack unit. option #230 "unit-number:3#priority:2#stack-group:14" Configure Secure DHCP The following feature is available on the platform, except where noted. 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.
ip dhcp relay information-option remote-id DHCP Snooping DHCP snooping protects networks from spoofing. In the context of DHCP snooping, ports are either trusted or not trusted. By default, all ports are not trusted. Trusted ports are ports through which attackers cannot connect. Manually configure ports connected to legitimate servers and relay agents as trusted.
3. Enable DHCP snooping on a VLAN. CONFIGURATION mode ip dhcp snooping vlan name Adding a Static Entry in the Binding Table To add a static entry in the binding table, use the following command. • Add a static entry in the binding table. EXEC Privilege mode ip dhcp snooping binding mac Clearing the Binding Table To clear the binding table, use the following command. • Delete all of the entries in the binding table.
Drop DHCP Packets on Snooped VLANs Only Binding table entries are deleted when a lease expires or the relay agent encounters a DHCPRELEASE. Line cards maintain a list of snooped VLANs. When the binding table fills, DHCP packets are dropped only on snooped VLANs, while such packets are forwarded across non-snooped VLANs. Because DHCP packets are dropped, no new IP address assignments are made. However, DHCP release and decline packets are allowed so that the DHCP snooping table can decrease in size.
MAC flooding An attacker can send fraudulent ARP messages to the gateway until the ARP cache is exhausted, after which, traffic from the gateway is broadcast. Denial of service An attacker can send a fraudulent ARP messages to a client to associate a false MAC address with the gateway address, which would blackhole all internet-bound packets from the client. NOTE: Dynamic ARP inspection (DAI) uses entries in the L2SysFlow CAM region, a sub-region of SystemFlow.
To see how many valid and invalid ARP packets have been processed, use the show arp inspection statistics command. Dell#show arp inspection statistics Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) Statistics --------------------------------------Valid ARP Requests : 0 Valid ARP Replies : 1000 Invalid ARP Requests : 1000 Invalid ARP Replies : 0 Dell# 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.
The DHCP binding table associates addresses the DHCP servers assign, with the port on which the requesting client is attached. When you enable IP source address validation on a port, the system verifies that the source IP address is one that is associated with the incoming port. If an attacker is impostering as a legitimate client, the source address appears on the wrong ingress port and the system drops the packet.
4. Enable IP+MAC SAV. INTERFACE mode ip dhcp source-address-validation ipmac Dell Networking OS creates an ACL entry for each IP+MAC address pair in the binding table and applies it to the interface. To display the IP+MAC ACL for an interface for the entire system, use the show ip dhcp snooping source-address-validation [interface] command in EXEC Privilege mode.
13 Equal Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) Equal cost multi-path (ECMP) is supported on theS6000 platform. ECMP for Flow-Based Affinity ECMP for flow-based affinity is available on theplatform. Flow-based affinity includes the following: • Link Bundle Monitoring Configuring the Hash Algorithm TeraScale has one algorithm that is used for link aggregation groups (LAGs), ECMP, and NH-ECMP, and ExaScale can use three different algorithms for each of these features.
CONFIGURATION mode. ipv6 ecmp-deterministic Configuring the Hash Algorithm Seed Deterministic ECMP sorts ECMPs in order even though RTM provides them in a random order. However, the hash algorithm uses as a seed the lower 12 bits of the chassis MAC, which yields a different hash result for every chassis. This behavior means that for a given flow, even though the prefixes are sorted, two unrelated chassis can select different hops.
NOTE: An ecmp-group index is generated automatically for each unique ecmp-group when the user configures 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. For link bundle monitoring with ECMP, the ecmp-group command is used to enable the link bundle monitoring feature. The ecmp-group with id 2, enabled for link bundle monitoring is user configured.
Creating an ECMP Group Bundle Within each ECMP group, you can specify an interface. If you enable monitoring for the ECMP group, the utilization calculation is performed when the average utilization of the link-bundle (as opposed to a single link within the bundle) exceeds 60%. 1. Create a user-defined ECMP group bundle. CONFIGURATION mode ecmp-group ecmp-group-id The range is from 1 to 64. 2. Add interfaces to the ECMP group bundle.

14 FCoE Transit The Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Transit feature is supported on the switch on Ethernet interfaces. When you enable the switch for FCoE transit, the switch functions as a FIP snooping bridge. NOTE: FIP snooping is not supported on Fibre Channel interfaces or in a switch stack.
FIP provides functionality for discovering and logging into an FCF. After discovering and logging in, FIP allows FCoE traffic to be sent and received between FCoE end-devices (ENodes) and the FCF. FIP uses its own EtherType and frame format. The following illustration shows the communication that occurs between an ENode server and an FCoE switch (FCF). The following table lists the FIP functions. Table 20.
Figure 33. FIP Discovery and Login Between an ENode and 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).
FCoEgenerated ACLs These take precedence over user-configured ACLs. A user-configured ACL entry cannot deny FCoE and FIP snooping frames. The following illustration shows a switch used as a FIP snooping bridge in a converged Ethernet network. The top-of-rack (ToR) switch operates as an FCF for FCoE traffic. Converged LAN and SAN traffic is transmitted between the ToR switch and an 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: • Allocate CAM resources for FCoE. • 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.
For VLAN membership, you must: • create the VLANs on the switch which handles FCoE traffic (use the interface vlan command). • configure each FIP snooping port to operate in Hybrid mode so that it accepts both tagged and untagged VLAN frames (use the portmode hybrid command). • configure tagged VLAN membership on each FIP snooping port that sends and receives FCoE traffic and has links with an FCF, ENode server, or another FIP snooping bridge (use the tagged port-type slot/port command).
Enable FIP Snooping on VLANs You can enable FIP snooping globally on a switch on all VLANs or on a specified VLAN. When you enable FIP snooping on VLANs: • 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.
Table 21. Impact of Enabling FIP Snooping Impact Description MAC address learning MAC address learning is not performed on FIP and FCoE frames, which are denied by ACLs dynamically created by FIP snooping on serverfacing ports in ENode mode. MTU auto-configuration MTU size is set to mini-jumbo (2500 bytes) when a port is in Switchport mode, the FIP snooping feature is enabled on the switch, and FIP snooping is enabled on all or individual VLANs.
To enable FCoE transit on the switch and configure the FCoE transit parameters on ports, follow these steps. 1. Configure FCoE. FCoE configuration: copy flash:/ CONFIG_TEMPLATE/ FCoE_DCB_Config running-config The configuration files are stored in the flash memory in the CONFIG_TEMPLATE file. NOTE: DCB/DCBx is enabled when either of these configurations is applied. 2. Save the configuration on the switch. EXEC Privilege mode. write memory 3. Reload the switch to enable the configuration.

Flex Hash and Optimized Boot-Up 15 This chapter describes the Flex Hash and fast-boot enhancements. Flex Hash Capability Overview This functionality is supported on the S6000 platform. The flex hash functionality enables you to configure a packet search key and matches packets based on the search key. When a packet matches the search key, two 16-bit hash fields are extracted from the start of the L4 header and provided as inputs (bins 2 and 3) for RTAG7 hash computation.
of the L4 header and provided as inputs (bins 2 and 3) for RTAG7 hash computation. You must specify the offset of hash fields from the start of the L4 header, which contains a flow identification field. 1. In Dell Networking OS Release 9.3(0.0), you can enable bins 2 and 3 by using the load-balance ingress-port enable command in Global Configuration mode. To configure the flex hash functionality, you must enable these bins.
Optimizing the Boot Time This functionality is supported on the S6000 platform. You can reduce the booting time of an S6000 switch by using the fast boot feature. With the reduced time that is taken to reboot the switch, upon a manually-initiated reload or an expected restart of the device, there is minimal disruption in the traffic that is managed by the switch.
the ND cache entries from becoming stale and being removed while the ToR goes through a CPU reset. This timer can be restored to its prior value after the ToR has completed its planned reload. 4. The BGP protocol on the adjacent devices responds to network (link-state) changes and route advertisements quickly and propagates these further up the network quickly. You might need to adjust the BGP timers on these devices. 5.
After the Dell Networking OS image is loaded and activated, and the appropriate software components come up, the following additional actions are performed: • If a database of dynamic ARP entries is present on the flash drive, that information is read and the ARP entries are restored; the entries are installed on the switch as soon as possible. At the same time, the entries are changed to an initial (“aged out”) state so that they are refreshed (and flushed if not learnt again).
• The system delays sending the BGP End-of-RIB notification to peers with whom BGP GR has been negotiated to ensure that the local routes of the system are advertised to the peers, if required by the configuration. • If BGP GR is enabled on any peering session, the timeout values used for the BGP hold timer do not take effect.
• A combination of the previous two conditions One possible impact of this behavior change is that if the amount of traffic to a destination is higher than the volume of traffic that can be carried over one path, a portion of that traffic might be dropped for a short duration (30-60 seconds) after the system comes up. Delayed Installation of ECMP Routes Into BGP The current FIB component of Dell Networking OS has some inherent inefficiencies when handling a large number of ECMP routes (i.e.
RDMA is a technology that a virtual machine (VM) uses to directly transfer information to the memory of another VM, thus enabling VMs to be connected to storage networks. With RoCE, RDMA enables data to be forwarded without passing through the CPU and the main memory path of TCP/IP. In a deployment that contains both the RoCE network and the normal IP network on two different networks, RRoCE combines the RoCE and the IP networks and sends the RoCE frames over the IP network.
encapsulation, is associated with a physical/Port-channel interface. Normal VLANs and VLAN encapsulation can exist simultaneously and any non-unicast traffic received on a normal VLAN is not flooded using lite subinterfaces whose encapsulation VLAN ID matches with that of the normal VLAN ID. You can use the encapsulation dot1q vlan-id command in INTERFACE mode to configure lite subinterfaces.
16 Force10 Resilient Ring Protocol (FRRP) Force10 resilient ring protocol (FRRP) is supported on the S6000 platform. FRRP provides fast network convergence to Layer 2 switches interconnected in a ring topology, such as a metropolitan area network (MAN) or large campuses.
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 Status The ring failure notification and the ring status checks provide two ways to ensure the ring remains up and active in the event of a switch or port failure.
Multiple FRRP Rings Up to 255 rings are allowed per system and multiple rings can be run on one system. More than the recommended number of rings may cause interface instability. You can configure multiple rings with a single switch connection; a single ring can have multiple FRRP groups; multiple rings can be connected with a common link. Member VLAN Spanning Two Rings Connected by One Switch A member VLAN can span two rings interconnected by a common switch, in a figure-eight style topology.
Concept Explanation Control VLAN Each ring has a unique Control VLAN through which tagged ring health frames (RHF) are sent. Control VLANs are used only for sending RHF, and cannot be used for any other purpose. Member VLAN Each ring maintains a list of member VLANs. Member VLANs must be consistent across the entire ring. Port Role Each node has two ports for each ring: Primary and Secondary. The Master node Primary port generates RHFs. The Master node Secondary port receives the RHFs.
Concept Explanation There is no periodic transmission of TCRHFs. The TCRHFs are sent on triggered events of ring failure or ring restoration only. 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.
Configuring the Control VLAN 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 Layer 2. Be sure to follow these guidelines: • 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.
3. Assign the Primary and Secondary ports and the control VLAN for the ports on the ring. CONFIG-FRRP mode. interface primary int slot/port secondary int slot/port control-vlan vlan id Interface: • For a 10/100/1000 Ethernet interface, enter the keyword GigabitEthernet then the slot/port information. • For a Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword GigabitEthernet then the slot/port information. • For a SONET interface, enter the keyword sonet then the slot/port information.
To create the Members VLANs for this FRRP group, use the following commands on all of the Transit switches in the ring. 1. Create a VLAN with this ID number. CONFIGURATION mode. interface vlan vlan-id VLAN ID: the range is from 1 to 4094. 2. Tag the specified interface or range of interfaces to this VLAN. CONFIG-INT-VLAN mode. tagged interface slot/port {range} Interface: • Slot/Port, range: Slot and Port ID for the interface. The range is entered Slot/Port-Port.
5. Identify the Member VLANs for this FRRP group. CONFIG-FRRP mode. member-vlan vlan-id {range} VLAN-ID, Range: VLAN IDs for the ring’s Member VLANs. 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.

17 GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) GARP VLAN registration protocol (GVRP) is supported on the S6000 platform. 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.
Configure GVRP To begin, enable GVRP. To facilitate GVRP communications, enable GVRP globally on each switch. Then, GVRP configuration is per interface on a switch-by-switch basis. Enable GVRP on each port that connects to a switch where you want GVRP information exchanged. In the following example, that type of port is referred to as a VLAN trunk port, but it is not necessary to specifically identify to the Dell Networking OS that the port is a trunk port. Figure 36.
• Configure a GARP Timer Enabling GVRP Globally To configure GVRP globally, use the following command. • Enable GVRP for the entire switch. CONFIGURATION mode gvrp enable Example of Configuring GVRP Dell(conf)#protocol gvrp Dell(config-gvrp)#no disable Dell(config-gvrp)#show config ! protocol gvrp no disable Dell(config-gvrp)# To inspect the global configuration, use the show gvrp brief command. Enabling GVRP on a Layer 2 Interface To enable GVRP on a Layer 2 interface, use the following command.
not be unconfigured when it receives a Leave PDU. Therefore, the registration mode on that interface is FIXED. • Forbidden Mode — Disables the port to dynamically register VLANs and to propagate VLAN information except information about VLAN 1. A port with forbidden registration type thus allows only VLAN 1 to pass through even though the PDU carries information for more VLANs.
LeaveAll Timer Dell(conf)# 5000 Dell Networking OS displays this message if an attempt is made to configure an invalid GARP timer: Dell(conf)#garp timers join 300 % Error: Leave timer should be >= 3*Join timer.
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) 18 Internet group management protocol (IGMP) is supported on the S6000 platform. 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.
Figure 37. 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 The following describes how a host can join a multicast group. 1. One router on a subnet is elected as the querier. The querier periodically multicasts (to all-multicastsystems address 224.0.0.1) a general query to all hosts on the subnet. 2.
response, the querier removes the group from the list associated with forwarding port and stops forwarding traffic for that group to 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.
Figure 39. 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 40. 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. 2.
Figure 41. Membership Queries: Leaving and Staying Configure IGMP Configuring IGMP is a two-step process. 1. Enable multicast routing using the ip multicast-routing command. 2. Enable a multicast routing protocol.
• Fast Convergence after MSTP Topology Changes • Designating a Multicast Router Interface Viewing IGMP Enabled Interfaces Interfaces that are enabled with PIM-SM are automatically enabled with IGMP. To view IGMP-enabled interfaces, use the following command. • View IGMP-enabled interfaces.

INTERFACE mode ip igmp last-member-query-interval Adjusting the IGMP Querier Timeout Value If there is more than one multicast router on a subnet, only one is elected to be the querier, which is the router that sends queries to the subnet. 1. Routers send queries to the all multicast systems address, 224.0.0.1.
Enabling IGMP Immediate-Leave If the querier does not receive a response to a group-specific or group-and-source query, it sends another (querier robustness value). Then, after no response, it removes the group from the outgoing interface for the subnet. IGMP immediate leave reduces leave latency by enabling a router to immediately delete the group membership on an interface after receiving a Leave message (it does not send any group-specific or group-and-source queries before deleting the entry).

When a port transitions to the Forwarding state as a result of an STP or MSTP topology change, Dell Networking OS 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.

Protocol Separation When you configure the application application-type command to configure a set of management applications with TCP/UDP port numbers to the OS, the following table describes the association between applications and their port numbers. Table 27.
can configure two default routes, one configured on the management port and the other on the frontend port. Two tables, namely, Egress Interface Selection routing table and default routing table, are maintained. In the preceding table, the columns Client and Server indicate that the applications can act as both a client and a server within the switch. The Management Egress Interface Selection table contains all management routes (connected, static and default route).
When the feature is disabled using the no management egress-interface-selection command, the following operations are performed: • All management application configuration is removed. • All routes installed in the management EIS routing table are removed. Handling of Management Route Configuration When the EIS feature is enabled, the following processing occurs: • All existing management routes (connected, static and default) are duplicated and added to the management EIS routing table.
the show management application pkt-drop-cntr command. This counter is cleared using clear management application pkt-drop-cntr command. • Packets whose destination TCP/UDP port does not match a configured management application, take the regular route lookup flow in the IP stack. • In the ARP layer, for all ARP packets received through the management interface, a double route lookup is done, one in the default routing table and another in the management EIS routing table.
traffic for such end-user-originated sessions destined to management port ip1 is handled using the EIS route lookup. Handling of Transit Traffic (Traffic Separation) This is forwarded traffic where destination IP is not an IP address configured in the switch. • Packets received on the management port with destination on the front-end port is dropped. • Packets received on the front-end port with destination on the management port is dropped. • A separate drop counter is incremented for this case.
This phenomenon occurs where traffic is transiting the switch. Traffic has not originated from the switch and is not terminating on the switch. • Drop the packets that are received on the front-end data port with destination on the management port. • Drop the packets that received on the management port with destination as the front-end data port. Switch-Destined Traffic This phenomenon occurs where traffic is terminated on the switch.

Default Behavior: Route lookup is done in the default routing table and appropriate egress port is selected.
Designating a Multicast Router Interface To designate an interface as a multicast router interface, use the following command. Dell Networking OS also has the capability of listening in on the incoming IGMP general queries and designate those interfaces as the multicast router interface when the frames have a non-zero IP source address. All IGMP control packets and IP multicast data traffic originating from receivers is forwarded to multicast router interfaces.
Interfaces 19 This chapter describes interface types, both physical and logical, and how to configure them with Dell Networking Operating System (OS). • 10 Gigabit Ethernet / 40 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces are supported on the S6000 platform.
Interface Types The following table describes different interface types.
Hardware is Force10Eth, address is 00:01:e8:05:f3:6a Current address is 00:01:e8:05:f3:6a Pluggable media present, XFP type is 10GBASE-LR. Medium is MultiRate, Wavelength is 1310nm XFP receive power reading is -3.7685 Interface index is 67436603 Internet address is 65.113.24.
interface GigabitEthernet 9/7 no ip address shutdown ! interface GigabitEthernet 9/8 no ip address shutdown ! interface GigabitEthernet 9/9 no ip address shutdown Enabling a Physical Interface After determining the type of physical interfaces available, to enable and configure the interfaces, enter INTERFACE mode by using the interface interface slot/port command. 1. Enter the keyword interface then the type of interface and slot/port information.
Configuration Task List for Physical Interfaces By default, all interfaces are operationally disabled and traffic does not pass through them.
Type of Interface Possible Modes Requires Creation Default State 10/100/1000 Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 No Shutdown (disabled) Management N/A No Shutdown (disabled) Loopback Layer 3 Yes No shutdown (enabled) Null interface N/A No Enabled Port Channel Layer 2 Yes Shutdown (disabled) Yes, except for the default VLAN.
For information about enabling and configuring the Spanning Tree Protocol, refer to Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). To view the interfaces in Layer 2 mode, use the show interfaces switchport command in EXEC mode. Configuring Layer 3 (Network) Mode When you assign an IP address to a physical interface, you place it in Layer 3 mode. To enable Layer 3 mode on an individual interface, use the following commands.
The ip-address must be in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D) and the mask must be in slash format (/ xx). Add the keyword secondary if the IP address is the interface’s backup IP address. Example of the show ip interface Command You can only configure one primary IP address per interface. You can configure up to 255 secondary IP addresses on a single interface.
Configuring EIS EIS is compatible with the following protocols: DNS, FTP, NTP, RADIUS, sFlow, SNMP, SSH, Syslog, TACACS, Telnet, and TFTP. To enable and configure EIS, use the following commands: 1. Enter EIS mode. CONFIGURATION mode management egress-interface-selection 2. Configure which applications uses EIS.
Configuring Management Interfaces on the S-Series You can manage the S-Series from any port. To configure an IP address for the port, use the following commands. There is no separate management routing table, so configure all routes in the IP routing table (the ip route command). • Configure an IP address. INTERFACE mode • ip address Enable the interface. INTERFACE mode • no shutdown The interface is the management interface.
NOTE: To monitor VLAN interfaces, use Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based internets: MIB-II (RFC 1213). NOTE: You cannot simultaneously use egress rate shaping and ingress rate policing on the same VLAN. Dell Networking OS supports Inter-VLAN routing (Layer 3 routing in VLANs). You can add IP addresses to VLANs and use them in routing protocols in the same manner that physical interfaces are used.
• View Loopback interface configurations. EXEC mode • show interface loopback number Delete a Loopback interface. CONFIGURATION mode no interface loopback number Many of the same commands found in the physical interface are also found in the Loopback interfaces. Null Interfaces The Null interface is another virtual interface. There is only one Null interface. It is always up, but no traffic is transmitted through this interface. To enter INTERFACE mode of the Null interface, use the following command.
Port Channel Benefits A port channel interface provides many benefits, including easy management, link redundancy, and sharing. Port channels are transparent to network configurations and can be modified and managed as one interface. For example, you configure one IP address for the group and that IP address is used for all routed traffic on the port channel. With this feature, you can create larger-capacity interfaces by utilizing a group of lower-speed links.
configuration becomes the common speed of the port channel. If the other interfaces configured in that port channel are configured with a different speed, Dell Networking OS disables them.
You can configure a port channel as you would a physical interface by enabling or configuring protocols or assigning access control lists. Adding a Physical Interface to a Port Channel The physical interfaces in a port channel can be on any line card in the chassis, but must be the same physical type.
Dell# Gi 13/8 (Up) Gi 13/13 (Up) Gi 13/14 (Up) The following example shows the port channel’s mode (L2 for Layer 2 and L3 for Layer 3 and L2L3 for a Layer 2-port channel assigned to a routed VLAN), the status, and the number of interfaces belonging to the port channel. Dell>show interface port-channel 20 Port-channel 20 is up, line protocol is up Hardware address is 00:01:e8:01:46:fa Internet address is 1.1.120.
Reassigning an Interface to a New Port Channel An interface can be a member of only one port channel. If the interface is a member of a port channel, remove it from the first port channel and then add it to the second port channel. Each time you add or remove a channel member from a port channel, Dell Networking OS recalculates the hash algorithm for the port channel. To reassign an interface to a new port channel, use the following commands. 1. Remove the interface from the first port channel.
Example of Configuring the Minimum Oper Up Links in a Port Channel Dell#config t Dell(conf)#int po 1 Dell(conf-if-po-1)#minimum-links 5 Dell(conf-if-po-1)# Configuring VLAN Tags for Member Interfaces To configure and verify VLAN tags for individual members of a port channel, perform the following: 1. Configure VLAN membership on individual ports INTERFACE mode Dell(conf-if-te-0/2)#vlan tagged 2,3-4 2.
– secondary: the IP address is the interface’s backup IP address. You can configure up to eight secondary IP addresses. Deleting or Disabling a Port Channel To delete or disable a port channel, use the following commands. • Delete a port channel. CONFIGURATION mode • no interface portchannel channel-number Disable a port channel. shutdown When you disable a port channel, all interfaces within the port channel are operationally down also.
– ip-selection [dest-ip | source-ip] — Distribute IP traffic based on the IP destination or source address. – mac [dest-mac | source-dest-mac | source-mac] — Distribute IPV4 traffic based on the destination or source MAC address, or both, along with the VLAN, Ethertype, source module ID and source port ID. – tcp-udp enable — Distribute traffic based on the TCP/UDP source and destination ports. – ingress-port — Option to Source Port Id for ECMP/ LAG hashing.
The hash-algorithm command is specific to ECMP group. The default ECMP hash configuration is crclower. This command takes the lower 32 bits of the hash key to compute the egress port.
Bulk Configuration Examples Use the interface range command for bulk configuration. • Create a Single-Range • Create a Multiple-Range • Exclude Duplicate Entries • Exclude a Smaller Port Range • Overlap Port Ranges • Commas • Add Ranges Create a Single-Range The following is an example of a single range.
Overlap Port Ranges The following is an example showing how the interface-range prompt extends a port range from the smallest start port number to the largest end port number when port ranges overlap. handles overlapping port ranges.
Choosing an Interface-Range Macro To use an interface-range macro, use the following command. • Selects the interfaces range to be configured using the values saved in a named interface-range macro. CONFIGURATION mode interface range macro name Example of Using a Macro to Change the Interface Range Configuration Mode The following example shows how to change to the interface-range configuration mode using the interface-range macro named “test.

To test and display TDR results, use the following commands. 1. To test for cable faults on the GigabitEthernet cable. EXEC Privilege mode tdr-cable-test gigabitethernet / Between two ports, do not start the test on both ends of the cable. Enable the interface before starting the test. Enable the port to run the test or the test prints an error message. 2. Displays TDR test results.
• The system must be reloaded after issuing the CLI for the change to take effect. Link Dampening Interface state changes occur when interfaces are administratively brought up or down or if an interface state changes. Every time an interface changes a state or flaps, routing protocols are notified of the status of the routes that are affected by the change in state. These protocols go through the momentous task of reconverging.
To view dampening information on all or specific dampened interfaces, use the show interfaces dampening command from EXEC Privilege mode. Dell# show interfaces dampening InterfaceStateFlapsPenaltyHalf-LifeReuseSuppressMax-Sup Gi 0/0Up005750250020 Gi 0/1Up21200205001500300 Gi 0/2Down4850306002000120 To view a dampening summary for the entire system, use the show interfaces dampening summary command from EXEC Privilege mode.

Transmission Media MTU Range (in bytes) Ethernet 594-12000 = link MTU 576-9234 = IP MTU Link Bundle Monitoring Link bundle monitoring is supported only on the platform. Monitoring linked LAG bundles allows traffic distribution amounts in a link to be monitored for unfair distribution at any given time. A threshold of 60% is defined as an acceptable amount of traffic on a member link. Links are monitored in 15-second intervals for three consecutive instances.
Control how the system responds to and generates 802.3x pause frames on Ethernet interfaces. The default is rx off tx off. INTERFACE mode. flowcontrol rx [off | on] tx [off | on] Where: rx on: Processes the received flow control frames on this port. rx off: Ignores the received flow control frames on this port. tx on: Sends control frames from this port to the connected device when a higher rate of traffic is received.
The flow control sender and receiver must be on the same port-pipe. Flow control is not supported across different port-pipes. To enable pause frames, use the following command. • Control how the system responds to and generates 802.3x pause frames on 1 and 10Gig line cards. INTERFACE mode flowcontrol rx [off | on] tx [off | on] [threshold {<1-2047> <1-2013> <1-2013>}] – rx on: enter the keywords rx on to process the received flow control frames on this port.
• 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.
Setting the Speed and Duplex Mode of Ethernet Interfaces To discover whether the remote and local interface requires manual speed synchronization, and to manually synchronize them if necessary, use the following command sequence. 1. Determine the local interface status. Refer to the following example. EXEC Privilege mode show interfaces [interface | linecard slot-number] status 2. Determine the remote interface status.

In the following example, the speed of port 0/1 is set to 100Mb and then its auto-negotiation is disabled.
• Change the default interval between keepalive messages. INTERFACE mode • keepalive [seconds] View the new setting. INTERFACE mode show config View Advanced Interface Information The following options have been implemented for the show [ip | running-config] interfaces commands for (only) stack-unit interfaces. When you use the configured keyword, only interfaces that have non-default configurations are displayed.
Configuring the Interface Sampling Size Although you can enter any value between 30 and 299 seconds (the default), software polling is done once every 15 seconds. So, for example, if you enter “19”, you actually get a sample of the past 15 seconds. All LAG members inherit the rate interval configuration from the LAG. The following example shows how to configure rate interval when changing the default value.

You can set this duration or interval for which the TCP connection waits to be established to a significantly high value to prevent the device from moving into an out-of-service condition or becoming unresponsive during a SYN flood attack that occurs on the device. You can set the wait time to be 10 seconds or lower.
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.
ip domain-list name Configure this command up to six times to specify a list of possible domain names. Dell Networking OS searches the domain names in the order they were configured until a match is found or the list is exhausted. 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.
ARP Dell Networking OS uses two forms of address resolution: address resolution protocol (ARP) and Proxy ARP. ARP runs over Ethernet and enables endstations to learn the MAC addresses of neighbors on an IP network. Over time, Dell Networking OS creates a forwarding table mapping the MAC addresses to their corresponding IP address. This table is called the ARP Cache and dynamically learned addresses are removed after a defined period of time.
Example of the show arp Command These entries do not age and can only be removed manually. To remove a static ARP entry, use the no arp ip-address command. To view the static entries in the ARP cache, use the show arp static command in EXEC privilege mode. Dell#show arp Protocol Address Age(min) Hardware Address Interface VLAN CPU -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Internet 10.1.2.
– For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/port information. NOTE: Transit traffic may not be forwarded during the period when deleted ARP entries are resolved again and re-installed in CAM. Use this option with extreme caution. ARP Learning via Gratuitous ARP Gratuitous ARP can mean an ARP request or reply. In the context of ARP learning via gratuitous ARP on Dell Networking OS, the gratuitous ARP is a request.
Figure 42. ARP Learning via ARP Request Beginning with 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 43. 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.
• The range is from 1 to 20. 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).
UDP Helper User datagram protocol (UDP) helper allows you to direct the forwarding IP/UDP broadcast traffic by creating special broadcast addresses and rewriting the destination IP address of packets to match those addresses. Configure UDP Helper Configuring Dell Networking OS to direct UDP broadcast is a two-step process: 1. Enable UDP helper and specify the UDP ports for which traffic is forwarded. Refer to Enabling UDP Helper. 2.
Configuring a Broadcast Address To configure a broadcast address, use the following command. • Configure a broadcast address on an interface. ip udp-broadcast-address Examples of Configuring and Viewing a Broadcast Address Dell(conf-if-vl-100)#ip udp-broadcast-address 1.1.255.255 Dell(conf-if-vl-100)#show config ! interface Vlan 100 ip address 1.1.0.1/24 ip udp-broadcast-address 1.1.255.
address to the configured broadcast 1.1.255.255 and routes the packet to VLANs 100 and 101. If you do not configure an IP broadcast address (using the ip udp-broadcast-address command) on VLANs 100 or 101, the packet is forwarded using the original destination IP address 255.255.255.255. Packet 2, sent from a host on VLAN 101 has a broadcast MAC address and IP address. In this case: 1. It is flooded on VLAN 101 without changing the destination address because the forwarding process is Layer 2. 2.
Figure 45. 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.
• If the Incoming packet has a destination IP address that matches the subnet broadcast address of any interface, the unaltered packet is routed to the matching interfaces. Troubleshooting UDP Helper To display debugging information for troubleshooting, use the debug ip udp-helper command.
IPv6 Routing 21 Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) routing is supported on the S6000 platform. 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 Operating System (OS) version supporting which features and platforms, refer to Implementing IPv6 with Dell Networking OS. IPv6 is the successor to IPv4.
NOTE: Dell Networking OS provides the flexibility to add prefixes on Router Advertisements (RA) to advertise responses to Router Solicitations (RS). By default, RA response messages are sent when an RS message is received. Dell Networking OS manipulation of IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration supports the router side only. Neighbor discovery (ND) messages are advertised so the neighbor can use this information to autoconfigure its address. However, received ND messages are not used to create an IPv6 address.
• Partitioning will be applied well before the system initialization. This will be done using the NVRAM. • Dell Networking OS provides CLI for enabling the partition. Configuration will be stored in NVRAM when the operator saves the configuration. • Partition will take effect only after the switch reboot. During the reboot Dell Networking OS reads the partition configuration from NVRAM and uses the same for partitioning the LPM.
IPv6 Header Fields The 40 bytes of the IPv6 header are ordered, as shown in the following illustration. Figure 47. IPv6 Header Fields Version (4 bits) The Version field always contains the number 6, referring to the packet’s IP version. Traffic Class (8 bits) The Traffic Class field deals with any data that needs special handling. These bits define the packet priority and are defined by the packet Source. Sending and forwarding routers use this field to identify different IPv6 classes and priorities.
The following lists the Next Header field values. Value Description 0 Hop-by-Hop option header 4 IPv4 6 TCP 8 Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) 41 IPv6 43 Routing header 44 Fragmentation header 50 Encrypted Security 51 Authentication header 59 No Next Header 60 Destinations option header NOTE: This table is not a comprehensive list of Next Header field values. For a complete and current listing, refer to the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) web page at .
However, if the Destination Address is a Hop-by-Hop options header, the Extension header is examined by every forwarding router along the packet’s route. The Hop-by-Hop options header must immediately follow the IPv6 header, and is noted by the value 0 (zero) in the Next Header field. Extension headers are processed in the order in which they appear in the packet header. Hop-by-Hop Options Header The Hop-by-Hop options header contains information that is examined by every router along the packet’s path.
of double colons is supported in a single address. Any number of consecutive 0000 groups may be reduced to two colons, as long as there is only one double colon used in an address. Leading and/or trailing zeros in a group can also be omitted (as in ::1 for localhost, 1:: for network addresses and :: for unspecified addresses). All the addresses in the following list are all valid and equivalent.
Implementing IPv6 with Dell Networking OS Dell Networking OS supports both IPv4 and IPv6 and both may be used simultaneously in your system. The following table lists the Dell Networking OS version in which an IPv6 feature became available for each platform. The sections following the table give greater detail about the feature.

N/A IPv6 PIM in the Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide. IPv6 Multicast MLDv1/v2 ICMPv6 ICMPv6 is supported on the S6000 platform.
Figure 48. Path MTU Discovery Process IPv6 Neighbor Discovery IPv6 neighbor discovery protocol (NDP) is supported on the S6000 platform. NDP is a top-level protocol for neighbor discovery on an IPv6 network. In lieu of address resolution protocol (ARP), NDP uses “Neighbor Solicitation” and “Neighbor Advertisement” ICMPv6 messages for determining relationships between neighboring nodes.
Figure 49. NDP Router Redirect IPv6 Neighbor Discovery of MTU Packets You can set the MTU advertised through the RA packets to incoming routers, without altering the actual MTU setting on the interface. The ipv6 nd mtu command sets the value advertised to routers. It does not set the actual MTU rate. For example, if you set ipv6 nd mtu to 1280, the interface still passes 1500-byte packets, if that is what is set with the mtu command.
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.

• Clearing IPv6 Routes Adjusting Your CAM-Profile The cam-acl command is supported on the S6000 platform. Although adjusting your CAM-profile is not a mandatory step, if you plan to implement IPv6 ACLs, adjust your CAM settings. The CAM space is allotted in FP blocks. The total space allocated must equal 13 FP blocks. There are 16 FP blocks, but the System Flow requires three blocks that cannot be reallocated. You must enter the ipv6acl allocation as a factor of 2 (2, 4, 6, 8, 10).
You can configure up to two IPv6 addresses on management interfaces, allowing required default router support on the management port that is acting as host, per RFC 4861. Data ports support more than two IPv6 addresses. When you configure IPv6 addresses on multiple interfaces (the ipv6 address command) and verify the configuration (the show ipv6 interfaces command), the same link local (fe80) address is displayed for each IPv6 interface. • Enter the IPv6 Address for the device.
Configuring Telnet with IPv6 IPv6 telnet is supported on the S6000 platform. The Telnet client and server in Dell Networking OS supports IPv6 connections. You can establish a Telnet session directly to the router using an IPv6 Telnet client, or you can initiate an IPv6 Telnet connection from the router. • Enter the IPv6 Address for the device. EXEC mode or EXEC Privileged mode telnet ipv6 address – ipv6 address: x:x:x:x::x – mask: prefix length is from 0 to 128.

iSCSI Optimization 22 iSCSI optimization is supported on the S6000 platform. This chapter describes how to configure internet small computer system interface (iSCSI) optimization, which enables quality-of-service (QoS) treatment for iSCSI traffic.
• If you configure flow-control, iSCSI uses the current configuration. If you do not configure flowcontrol, iSCSI auto-configures flow control settings so that receive-only is enabled and transmit-only is disabled. . • iSCSI monitoring sessions — the switch monitors and tracks active iSCSI sessions in connections on the switch, including port information and iSCSI session information. • iSCSI QoS — A user-configured iSCSI class of service (CoS) profile is applied to all iSCSI traffic.
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.
If more than 256 simultaneous sessions are logged continuously, the following message displays indicating the queue rate limit has been reached: %STKUNIT2-M:CP %iSCSI-5-ISCSI_OPT_MAX_SESS_EXCEEDED: New iSCSI Session Ignored: ISID 400001370000 InitiatorName - iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:dt-brcd-cna-2 TargetName iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:4-52aed6-b90d9446c-162466364804fa49-wj-v1 TSIH - 0" NOTE: If you are using EqualLogic or Compellent storage arrays, more than 256 simultaneous iSCSI sessions are possible.
Configuring Detection and Ports for Dell Compellent Arrays To configure a port connected to a Dell Compellent storage array, use the following command. • Configure a port connected to a Dell Compellent storage array. INTERFACE Configuration mode iscsi profile-compellent The command configures a port for the best iSCSI traffic conditions.
iSCSI optimization, which can turn on flow control again on reboot, use the no iscsi enable command and save the configuration. When you enable iSCSI on the switch, the following actions occur: • Link-level flow control is globally enabled, if it is not already enabled, and PFC is disabled. • iSCSI session snooping is enabled. • iSCSI LLDP monitoring starts to automatically detect EqualLogic arrays.
Parameter Default Value iSCSI session monitoring Disabled. The CAM allocation for iSCSI is set to zero (0). iSCSI Optimization Prerequisites The following are iSCSI optimization prerequisites. • iSCSI optimization requires LLDP on the switch. LLDP is enabled by default (refer to Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)). • iSCSI optimization requires configuring two ingress ACL groups The ACL groups are allocated after iSCSI Optimization is configured.
5. Reload the switch. EXEC Privilege mode reload After the switch is reloaded, DCB/ DCBx and iSCSI monitoring are enabled. 6. (Optional) Configure the iSCSI target ports and optionally the IP addresses on which iSCSI communication is monitored. CONFIGURATION mode [no] iscsi target port tcp-port-1 [tcp-port-2...tcp-port-16] [ip-address address] • tcp-port-n is the TCP port number or a list of TCP port numbers on which the iSCSI target listens to requests.

Intermediate System to Intermediate System 23 Intermediate system to intermediate system (Is-IS) is supported on the S6000 platform. • • IS-IS is supported on the S6000 with Dell Networking OS 9.0(2.0). • 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.
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). • system address — the router’s MAC address. • N-selector — this is always 0. The following illustration is an example of the ISO-style address to show the address format IS-IS uses. In this example, the first five bytes (47.0005.
Transition Mode All routers in the area or domain must use the same type of IPv6 support, either single-topology or multitopology. A router operating in multi-topology mode does not recognize the ability of the singletopology mode router to support IPv6 traffic, which leads to holes in the IPv6 topology.
A new TLV (the Restart TLV) is introduced in the IIH PDUs, indicating that the router supports graceful restart. Timers Three timers are used to support IS-IS graceful restart functionality. After you enable graceful restart, these timers manage the graceful restart process. There are three times, T1, T2, and T3. • The T1 timer specifies the wait time before unacknowledged restart requests are generated.
• Accepts external IPv6 information and advertises this information in the PDUs. The following table lists the default IS-IS values. Table 31.
Enabling IS-IS By default, IS-IS is not enabled. The system supports one instance of IS-IS. To enable IS-IS globally, create an IS-IS routing process and assign a NET address. To exchange protocol information with neighbors, enable IS-IS on an interface, instead of on a network as with other routing protocols. In IS-IS, neighbors form adjacencies only when they are same IS type. For example, a Level 1 router never forms an adjacency with a Level 2 router.
4. Enter an IPv4 Address. INTERFACE mode ip address ip-address mask Assign an IP address and mask to the interface. The IP address must be on the same subnet as other IS-IS neighbors, but the IP address does not need to relate to the NET address. 5. Enter an IPv6 Address. INTERFACE mode ipv6 address ipv6-address mask • • ipv6 address: x:x:x:x::x mask: The prefix length is from 0 to 128.
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.
3. Set the minimum interval between SPF calculations. ROUTER ISIS AF IPV6 mode spf-interval [level-l | level-2 | interval] [initial_wait_interval [second_wait_interval]] Use this command for IPv6 route computation only when you enable multi-topology. If using singletopology 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.
• – retry-times: number of times an unacknowledged restart request is sent before the restarting router gives up the graceful restart engagement with the neighbor. (The range is from 1 to 10 attempts. The default is 1.) Configure the time for the graceful restart timer T2 that a restarting router uses as the wait time for each database to synchronize.
Mode: Normal L1-State:NORMAL, L2-State: NORMAL L1: Send/Receive: RR:0/0, RA: 0/0, SA:0/0 T1 time left: 0, retry count left:0 L2: Send/Receive: RR:0/0, RA: 0/0, SA:0/0 T1 time left: 0, retry count left:0 Dell# To view all interfaces configured with IS-IS routing along with the defaults, use the show isis interface command in EXEC Privilege mode.
lsp-refresh-interval seconds – seconds: the range is from 1 to 65535. • The default is 900 seconds. Set the maximum time LSPs lifetime. ROUTER ISIS mode max-lsp-lifetime seconds – seconds: the range is from 1 to 65535. The default is 1200 seconds. Example of Viewing IS-IS Configuration (ROUTER ISIS Mode) To view the configuration, use the show config command in ROUTER ISIS mode or the show running-config isis command in EXEC Privilege mode.
Metric Style Characteristics Cost Range Supported on IS-IS Interfaces narrow transition Sends narrow (old) TLVs and accepts both narrow (old) and wide (new) TLVs. 0 to 63 wide transition Sends wide (new) TLVs and accepts both narrow (old) and wide (new) TLVs. 0 to 16777215 To change the IS-IS metric style of the IS-IS process, use the following command. • Set the metric style for the IS-IS process.
– default-metric: the range is from 0 to 63 if the metric-style is narrow, narrow-transition, or transition. • The range is from 0 to 16777215 if the metric style is wide or wide transition. Assign a metric for an IPv6 link or interface. INTERFACE mode isis ipv6 metric default-metric [level-1 | level-2] – default-metric: the range is from 0 to 63 for narrow and transition metric styles. The range is from 0 to 16777215 for wide metric styles. The default is 10. The default level is level-1.
• Change the IS-type for the IS-IS process. ROUTER ISIS mode is-type {level-1 | level-1-2 | level-2} Example of the show isis database Command to View Level 1-2 Link State Databases To view which IS-type is configured, use the show isis protocol command in EXEC Privilege mode. The show config command in ROUTER ISIS mode displays only non-default information. If you do not change the IS-type, the default value (level-1-2) is not displayed. The default is Level 1-2 router.
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 Dell Networking OS does not install the route in the routing table. The prefix lists are globally applied on all interfaces running IS-IS. Configure the prefix list in PREFIX LIST mode prior to assigning it to the IS-IS process.
Applying IPv6 Routes To apply prefix lists to incoming or outgoing IPv6 routes, use the following commands. NOTE: These commands apply to IPv6 IS-IS only. To apply prefix lists to IPv4 routes, use ROUTER ISIS mode, previously shown. • Apply a configured prefix list to all incoming IPv6 IS-IS routes.
NOTE: These commands apply to IPv4 IS-IS only. To apply prefix lists to IPv6 routes, use ADDRESSFAMILY IPV6 mode, shown later. • Include BGP, directly connected, RIP, or user-configured (static) routes in IS-IS. ROUTER ISIS mode redistribute {bgp as-number | connected | rip | static} [level-1 level-1-2 | level-2] [metric metric-value] [metric-type {external | internal}] [route-map map-name] Configure the following parameters: – level-1, level-1-2, or level-2: assign all redistributed routes to a level.
• – map-name: enter the name of a configured route map. Include specific OSPF routes in IS-IS.ROUTER ISIS mode redistribute ospf process-id [level-1| level-1-2 | level-2] [metric value] [match external {1 | 2} | match internal] [metric-type {external | internal}] [route-map map-name] Configure the following parameters: – – – – – – – – process-id: the range is from 1 to 65535. level-1, level-1-2, or level-2: assign all redistributed routes to a level. The default is level-2.
Setting the Overload Bit Another use for the overload bit is to prevent other routers from using this router as an intermediate hop in their shortest path first (SPF) calculations. For example, if the IS-IS routing database is out of memory and cannot accept new LSPs, Dell Networking OS sets the overload bit and IS-IS traffic continues to transit the system. To set or remove the overload bit manually, use the following commands. • Set the overload bit in LSPs.
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. View information about IS-IS local update packets. EXEC Privilege mode debug isis local-updates [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.
• narrow (supports only type, length, and value [TLV] up to 63) • wide (supports TLV up to 16777215) • transition (supports both narrow and wide and uses a TLV up to 63) • narrow transition (accepts both narrow and wide and sends only narrow or old-style TLV) • wide transition (accepts both narrow and wide and sends only wide or new-style TLV) Configure Metric Values For any level (Level-1, Level-2, or Level-1-2), the value range possible in the isis metric command in INTERFACE mode changes depend

These examples are not comprehensive directions. They are intended to give you some guidance with typical configurations. NOTE: Only one IS-IS process can run on the router, even if both IPv4 and IPv6 routing is being used.

24 Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) Link aggregation control protocol (LACP) is supported on the S6000 platform. Introduction to Dynamic LAGs and LACP A link aggregation group (LAG), referred to as a port channel by Dell Networking OS, 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.
• There is a difference between the shutdown and no interface port-channel commands: – The shutdown command on LAG “xyz” disables the LAG and retains the user commands. However, the system does not allow the channel number “xyz” to be statically created. – The no interface port-channel channel-number command deletes the specified LAG, including a dynamically created LAG. This command removes all LACP-specific commands on the member interfaces.
• Configure LACP mode. LACP mode [no] port-channel number mode [active | passive | off] – number: cannot statically contain any links. • The default is LACP active. Configure port priority. LACP mode [no] lacp port-priority priority-value The range is from 1 to 65535 (the higher the number, the lower the priority). The default is 32768. LACP Configuration Tasks The following are LACP configuration tasks.
Configuring the LAG Interfaces as Dynamic After creating a LAG, configure the dynamic LAG interfaces. To configure the dynamic LAG interfaces, use the following command. • Configure the dynamic LAG interfaces. CONFIGURATION mode port-channel-protocol lacp Example of the port-channel-protocol lacp Command Dell(conf)#interface Gigabitethernet 3/15 Dell(conf-if-gi-3/15)#no shutdown Dell(conf-if-gi-3/15)#port-channel-protocol lacp Dell(conf-if-gi-3/15-lacp)#port-channel 32 mode active ...

Figure 53. Shared LAG State Tracking To avoid packet loss, redirect traffic through the next lowest-cost link (R3 to R4). Dell Networking OS has the ability to bring LAG 2 down if LAG 1 fails, so that traffic can be redirected. This redirection is what is meant by shared LAG state tracking. To achieve this functionality, you must group LAG 1 and LAG 2 into a single entity, called a failover group. Configuring Shared LAG State Tracking To configure shared LAG state tracking, you configure a failover group.
As shown in the following illustration, LAGs 1 and 2 are members of a failover group. LAG 1 fails and LAG 2 is brought down after the failure. This effect is logged by Message 1, in which a console message declares both LAGs down at the same time. Figure 54.
• • 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. LACP Basic Configuration Example The screenshots in this section are based on the following example topology. Two routers are named ALPHA and BRAVO, and their hostname prompts reflect those names. Figure 55. LACP Basic Configuration Example Configure a LAG on ALPHA The following example creates a LAG on ALPHA.

Figure 61. 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.
Layer 2 25 Layer 2 features are supported on the S6000 platform. Manage the MAC Address Table 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.
The range is from 10 to 1000000. Configuring a Static MAC Address A static entry is one that is not subject to aging. Enter static entries manually. To create a static MAC address entry, use the following command. • Create a static MAC address entry in the MAC address table. CONFIGURATION mode mac-address-table static Displaying the MAC Address Table To display the MAC address table, use the following command. • Display the contents of the MAC address table.
interface) before the system verifies that sufficient CAM space exists. If the CAM check fails, a message is displayed: %E90MH:5 %ACL_AGENT-2-ACL_AGENT_LIST_ERROR: Unable to apply access-list MacLimit 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.
mac learning-limit mac-address-sticky Using sticky MAC addresses allows you to associate a specific port with MAC addresses from trusted devices. If you enable sticky MAC, the specified port retains any dynamically-learned addresses and prevents them from being transferred or learned on other ports. If you configure mac-learning-limit and you enabled sticky MAC, all dynamically-learned addresses are converted to sticky MAC addresses for the selected port.
no ip address switchport mac learning-limit 1 dynamic no-station-move mac learning-limit station-move-violation log no shutdown Learning Limit Violation Actions Learning limit violation actions are supported only on the S6000 platform. To configure the system to take an action when the MAC learning limit is reached on an interface and a new address is received using one the following options with the mac learning-limit command, use the following commands.
Recovering from Learning Limit and Station Move Violations After a learning-limit or station-move violation shuts down an interface, you must manually reset it. To reset the learning limit, use the following commands. NOTE: Alternatively, you can reset the interface by shutting it down using the shutdown command and then re-enabling it using the no shutdown command. • Reset interfaces in the ERR_Disabled state caused by a learning limit violation or station move violation.
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. When the ARP is resolved, the same MAC address is learned on the same port where the ARP is resolved (in the previous example, this location is Port 0/5 of the switch).
Apply all other configurations to each interface in the redundant pair such that their configurations are identical, so that transition to the backup interface in the event of a failure is transparent to rest of the network. Figure 64. Configuring Redundant Layer 2 Pairs without Spanning Tree You configure a redundant pair by assigning a backup interface to a primary interface with the switchport backup interface command.

Figure 65. Configuring Far-End Failure Detection The report consists of several packets in SNAP format that are sent to the nearest known MAC address. In the event of a far-end failure, the device stops receiving frames and, after the specified time interval, assumes that the far-end is not available. The connecting line protocol is brought down so that upper layer protocols can detect the neighbor unavailability faster. FEFD State Changes FEFD has two operational modes, Normal and Aggressive.
4. If the FEFD enabled system is configured to use FEFD in Normal mode and neighboring echoes are not received after three intervals, (you can set each interval can be set between 3 and 300 seconds) the state changes to unknown. 5. If the FEFD system has been set to Aggressive mode and neighboring echoes are not received after three intervals, the state changes to Err-disabled.
To report interval frequency and mode adjustments, use the following commands. 1. Setup two or more connected interfaces for Layer 2 or Layer 3. INTERFACE mode ip address ip address, switchport 2. Activate the necessary ports administratively. INTEFACE mode no shutdown 3. Enable fefd globally. CONFIGURATION mode fefd {interval | mode} Example of the show fefd Command To display information about the state of each interface, use the show fefd command in EXEC privilege mode.

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 38. Optional TLV Types Type TLV Description 4 Port description A user-defined alphanumeric string that describes the port. Dell Networking OS does not currently support this TLV.
Type TLV Description 127 Protocol Identity Indicates the protocols that the port can process. Dell Networking OS does not currently support this TLV. 127 MAC/PHY Configuration/Status Indicates the capability and current setting of the duplex status and bit rate, and whether the current settings are the result of auto-negotiation. This TLV is not available in the Dell Networking OS implementation of LLDP, but is available and mandatory (non-configurable) in the LLDP-MED implementation.
Regarding connected endpoint devices, LLDP-MED provides network connectivity devices with the ability to: • manage inventory • manage Power over Ethernet (PoE) • identify physical location • identify network policy LLDP-MED is designed for, but not limited to, VoIP endpoints. TIA Organizationally Specific TLVs The Dell Networking system is an LLDP-MED Network Connectivity Device (Device Type 4).
Type SubType TLV Description None or all TLVs must be supported. Dell Networking OS does not currently support these TLVs. 127 5 Inventory — Hardware Revision Indicates the hardware revision of the LLDPMED device. 127 6 Inventory — Firmware Revision Indicates the firmware revision of the LLDPMED device. 127 7 Inventory — Software Revision Indicates the software revision of the LLDPMED device. 127 8 Inventory — Serial Number Indicates the device serial number of the LLDP-MED device.

NOTE: As shown in the following table, signaling is a series of control packets that are exchanged between an endpoint device and a network connectivity device to establish and maintain a connection. These signal packets might require a different network policy than the media packets for which a connection is made. In this case, configure the signaling application. Table 42.
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.
3. Enter the disable command. LLDP-MANAGEMENT-INTERFACE mode. To undo an LLDP management port configuration, precede the relevant command with the keyword no. Advertising TLVs You can configure the system to advertise TLVs out of all interfaces or out of specific interfaces. • If you configure the system globally, all interfaces send LLDPDUs with the specified TLVs. • If you configure an interface, only the interface sends LLDPDUs with the specified TLVs.

Microsoft Network Load Balancing 27 This functionality is supported on the S6000 platform. 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 NLB feature enabled, after learning the NLB ARP entry, all the subsequent traffic is flooded on all ports in VLAN1. With NLB, the data frame is forwarded to all the servers for them to perform load-balancing. NLB Multicast Mode Scenario Consider a sample topology in which four servers, namely S1 through S4, are configured as a cluster or a farm. This set of servers is connected to a Layer 3 switch, which in turn is connected to the end-clients.
flooded out of all member ports. Since all the servers in the cluster receive traffic, failover and balancing are preserved. Enable and Disable VLAN Flooding • The older ARP entries are overwritten whenever newer NLB entries are learned. • All ARP entries, learned after the feature is enabled, are deleted when the feature is disabled, and RP2 triggers an ARP resolution. The feature is disabled with the no ip vlan-flooding command.
Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) 28 Multicast source discovery protocol (MSDP) is supported on the S6000 platform. 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 74. 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. Figure 75.
Anycast RP Using MSDP, anycast RP provides load sharing and redundancy in PIM-SM networks. Anycast RP allows two or more rendezvous points (RPs) to share the load for source registration and the ability to act as hot backup routers for each other. Anycast RP allows you to configure two or more RPs with the same IP address on Loopback interfaces. The Anycast RP Loopback address are configured with a 32-bit mask, making it a host address.

Multicast sources in remote domains are stored on the RP in the source-active cache (SA cache).
Limiting the Source-Active Cache Set the upper limit of the number of active sources that the Dell Networking OS caches. The default active source limit is 500K messages. When the total number of active sources reaches the specified limit, subsequent active sources are dropped even if they pass the reverse path forwarding (RPF) and policy check. To limit the number of sources that SA cache stores, use the following command. • Limit the number of sources that can be stored in the SA cache.

Example of Verifying the System is not Caching Local Sources When you apply this filter, the SA cache is not affected immediately. When sources that are denied by the ACL time out, they are not refreshed. Until they time out, they continue to reside in the cache. To apply the redistribute filter to entries already present in the SA cache, first clear the SA cache. You may optionally store denied sources in the rejected SA cache.

Logging Changes in Peership States To log changes in peership states, use the following command. • Log peership state changes. CONFIGURATION mode ip msdp log-adjacency-changes Terminating a Peership MSDP uses TCP as its transport protocol. In a peering relationship, the peer with the lower IP address initiates the TCP session, while the peer with the higher IP address listens on port 639. • Terminate the TCP connection with a peer.

technique is less effective as traffic increases because preemptive load balancing requires prior knowledge of traffic distributions. • lack of scalable register decasulation: With only a single RP per group, all joins are sent to that RP regardless of the topological distance between the RP, sources, and receivers, and data is transmitted to the RP until the SPT switch threshold is reached.
Configuring Anycast RP To configure anycast RP, use the following commands. 1. In each routing domain that has multiple RPs serving a group, create a Loopback interface on each RP serving the group with the same IP address. CONFIGURATION mode interface loopback 2. Make this address the RP for the group. CONFIGURATION mode ip pim rp-address 3. In each routing domain that has multiple RPs serving a group, create another Loopback interface on each RP serving the group with a unique IP address.

29 Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) Multiple spanning tree protocol (MSTP) is supported on the S6000 platform. Protocol Overview 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+). 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.
Spanning Tree Variations The Dell Networking OS supports four variations of spanning tree, as shown in the following table. Table 47. Spanning Tree Variations 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 following describes the MSTP implementation information.
• Enabling SNMP Traps for Root Elections and Topology Changes • Configuring Spanning Trees as Hitless Enable Multiple Spanning Tree Globally MSTP is not enabled by default. To enable MSTP globally, use the following commands. When you enable MSTP, all physical, VLAN, and port-channel interfaces that are enabled and in Layer 2 mode are automatically part of the MSTI 0. • Within an MSTI, only one path from any bridge to any other bridge is enabled.
Specify the keyword vlan then the VLANs that you want to participate in the MSTI. Examples of Configuring and Viewing MSTI The following examples shows the msti command. Dell(conf)#protocol spanning-tree mstp Dell(conf-mstp)#msti 1 vlan 100 Dell(conf-mstp)#msti 2 vlan 200-300 Dell(conf-mstp)#show config ! protocol spanning-tree mstp no disable MSTI 1 VLAN 100 MSTI 2 VLAN 200-300 All bridges in the MSTP region must have the same VLAN-to-instance mapping.
Influencing MSTP Root Selection MSTP determines the root bridge, but you can assign one bridge a lower priority to increase the probability that it becomes the root bridge. To change the bridge priority, use the following command. • Assign a number as the bridge priority. PROTOCOL MSTP mode msti instance bridge-priority priority A lower number increases the probability that the bridge becomes the root bridge. The range is from 0 to 61440, in increments of 4096. The default is 32768.
NOTE: Some non-Dell Networking OS equipment may implement a non-null default region name. SFTOS, for example, uses the Bridge ID, while others may use a MAC address. Changing the Region Name or Revision To change the region name or revision, use the following commands. • Change the region name. PROTOCOL MSTP mode • name name Change the region revision number.
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. 2. Change the hello-time parameter. PROTOCOL MSTP mode hello-time seconds NOTE: With large configurations (especially those configurations with more ports) Dell Networking recommends increasing the hello-time. The range is from 1 to 10. The default is 2 seconds. 3. Change the max-age parameter.
Modifying the Interface Parameters You can adjust two interface parameters to increase or decrease the probability that a port becomes a forwarding port. • • Port cost is a value that is based on the interface type. The greater the port cost, the less likely the port is selected to be a forwarding port. Port priority influences the likelihood that a port is selected to be a forwarding port in case that several ports have the same port cost.
you implement only 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. This feature is the same as PortFast mode in spanning tree. CAUTION: Configure EdgePort only on links connecting to an end station. EdgePort can cause loops if you enable it on an interface connected to a network.
To view the enable status of this feature, use the show running-config spanning-tree mstp command from EXEC Privilege mode. MSTP Sample Configurations The running-configurations support the topology shown in the following illustration. The configurations are from Dell Networking OS systems. Figure 86. MSTP with Three VLANs Mapped to Two Spanning Tree Instances Router 1 Running-Configuration This example uses the following steps: 1.

– As shown in the following, the MSTP routers are located in the same region. – Does the debug log indicate that packets are coming from a “Different Region”? If so, one of the key parameters is not matching. • MSTP Region Name and Revision. – The configured name and revisions must be identical among all the routers.
The following example shows viewing the debug log of an unsuccessful MSTP configuration. 4w0d4h : MSTP: Received BPDU on Gi 2/21 : ProtId: 0, Ver: 3, Bpdu Type: MSTP, Flags 0x78Different Region (Indicates MSTP routers are in different regions and are not communicating with each other.)

Multicast Features 30 Multicast features are supported on the S6000 platform. NOTE: Multicast is supported on secondary IP addresses on the platform. NOTE: Multicast routing for IPv6 is not supported. The Dell Networking Operating System (OS) supports the following multicast protocols: • PIM Sparse-Mode (PIM-SM) • Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) • Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) Enabling IP Multicast Enable IP multicast is supported on the S6000 platform.
Figure 87. Multicast with ECMP Implementation Information Because protocol control traffic in Dell Networking OS is redirected using the MAC address, and multicast control traffic and multicast data traffic might map to the same MAC address, Dell Networking OS might forward data traffic with certain MAC addresses to the CPU in addition to control traffic. As the upper5 bits of an IP Multicast address are dropped in the translation, 32 different multicast group IDs all map to the same Ethernet address.
Protocol Ethernet Address PIM-SM 01:00:5e:00:00:0d • The Dell Networking OS implementation of MTRACE is in accordance with IETF draft draft-fennertraceroute-ipm. • Multicast is not supported on secondary IP addresses. • Egress L3 ACL is not applied to multicast data traffic if you enable multicast routing. First Packet Forwarding for Lossless Multicast All initial multicast packets are forwarded to receivers to achieve lossless multicast.
• If the limit is decreased after it is reached, Dell Networking OS does not clear the existing sessions. Entries are cleared after a timeout (you may also clear entries using clear ip mroute). NOTE: Dell Networking OS waits at least 30 seconds between stopping and starting IGMP join processing. You may experience this delay when manipulating the limit after it is reached.
no access list limiting Receiver 1, so both IGMP reports are accepted, and two corresponding entries are created in the routing table. Figure 88. Preventing a Host from Joining a Group Table 49.

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.
Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv2 and OSPFv3) 31 Open shortest path first (OSPFv2 for IPv4) and OSPF version 3 (OSPF for IPv6) are supported on the S6000 platform. 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 90. Autonomous System Areas Area Types The backbone of the network is Area 0. It is also called Area 0.0.0.
The backbone is the only area with a default area number. All other areas can have their Area ID assigned in the configuration. In the previous example, Routers A, B, C, G, H, and I are the Backbone. • A stub area (SA) does not receive external route information, except for the default route. These areas do receive information from inter-area (IA) routes. NOTE: Configure all routers within an assigned stub area as stubby, and not generate LSAs that do not apply.
Figure 91. 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. Autonomous System Border Router (ASBR) The autonomous system border area router (ASBR) connects to more than one AS and exchanges information with the routers in other ASs. Generally, the ASBR connects to a non-interior gate protocol (IGP) such as BGP or uses static routes.
available. An ABR floods the information for the router (for example, the ASBR where the Type 5 advertisement originated. The link-state ID for Type 4 LSAs is the router ID of the described ASBR). • Type 5: LSA — These LSAs contain information imported into OSPF from other routing processes. They are flooded to all areas, except stub areas. The link-state ID of the Type 5 LSA is the external network number.
Router Priority and Cost Router priority and cost is the method the system uses to “rate” the routers. For example, if not assigned, the system selects the router with the highest priority as the DR. The second highest priority is the BDR. • • Priority is a numbered rating 0 to 255. The higher the number, the higher the priority. Cost is a numbered rating 1 to 65535. The higher the number, the greater the cost. The cost assigned reflects the cost should the router fail.
Dell Networking OS supports stub areas, totally stub (no summary) and not so stubby areas (NSSAs) and supports the following LSAs, as described earlier.
OSPFv2 supports helper-only and restarting-only roles. By default, both helper and restarting roles are enabled. OSPFv2 supports the helper-reject role globally on a router. OSPFv3 supports helper-only and restarting-only roles. The helper-only role is enabled by default. To enable the restarting role in addition to the helper-only role, configure a grace period. Reconfigure OSPFv3 graceful restart to a restarting-only role when you enable the helper-reject role on an interface.
example, if you create five OSPFv2 processes on a system, there must be at least five interfaces assigned in Layer 3 mode. Each OSPFv2 process is independent. If one process loses adjacency, the other processes continue to function. Processing SNMP and Sending SNMP Traps Though there are may be several OSPFv2 processes, only one process can process simple network management protocol (SNMP) requests and send SNMP traps.

The OSPF process must know about these interfaces. To make the OSPF process aware of these interfaces, they must be assigned to OSPF areas. You must configure OSPF GLOBALLY on the system in CONFIGURATION mode.
If implementing multi-process OSPF, create an equal number of Layer 3 enabled interfaces and OSPF process IDs. For example, if you create four OSPFv2 process IDs, you must have four interfaces with Layer 3 enabled. 1. Assign an IP address to an interface. CONFIG-INTERFACE mode ip address ip-address mask The format is A.B.C.D/M. If you are using a Loopback interface, refer to Loopback Interfaces. 2. Enable the interface. CONFIG-INTERFACE mode no shutdown 3.

If you try to enable more OSPF processes than available Layer 3 interfaces, the following message displays: C300(conf)#router ospf 1 % Error: No router ID available.
In the example below, an IP address is assigned to an interface and an OSPFv2 area is defined that includes the IP address of a Layer 3 interface. The first bold lines assign an IP address to a Layer 3 interface, and theno shutdown command ensures that the interface is UP. The second bold line assigns the IP address of an interface to an area.

NOTE: A higher convergence level can result in occasional loss of OSPF adjacency. Generally, convergence level 1 meets most convergence requirements. Only select higher convergence levels following consultation with Dell Technical Support. Examples of the fast-converge Command In the examples below, Convergence Level shows the fast-converge parameter setting and Min LSA origination shows the LSA parameters (shown in bold).
• Change the time interval between hello-packet transmission. CONFIG-INTERFACE mode ip ospf hello-interval seconds – seconds: the range is from 1 to 65535 (the default is 10 seconds). • The hello interval must be the same on all routers in the OSPF network. Use the MD5 algorithm to produce a message digest or key, which is sent instead of the key. CONFIG-INTERFACE mode ip ospf message-digest-key keyid md5 key – keyid: the range is from 1 to 255. – Key: a character string.

Enabling OSPFv2 Graceful Restart Graceful restart is enabled for the global OSPF process. For more information, refer to Graceful Restart. The Dell Networking implementation of OSPFv2 graceful restart enables you to specify: • grace period — the length of time the graceful restart process can last before OSPF terminates it. • helper-reject neighbors — the router ID of each restart router that does not receive assistance from the configured router.
3. Configure the graceful restart role or roles that this OSPFv2 router performs. CONFIG-ROUTEROSPF- id mode graceful-restart role [helper-only | restart-only] Dell Networking OS supports the following options: • Helper-only: the OSPFv2 router supports graceful-restart only as a helper router. • Restart-only: the OSPFv2 router supports graceful-restart only during unplanned restarts. By default, OSPFv2 supports both restarting and helper roles.
seq sequence-number {deny |permit} ip-prefix [ge min-prefix-length] [le maxprefix-length] The optional parameters are: – ge min-prefix-length: is the minimum prefix length to match (from 0 to 32). – 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.

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.

Enter the tasks the user should do after finishing this task (optional). Configuring Stub Areas To configure IPv6 stub areas, use the following command.
To indicate that hello packets are not transmitted on that interface, when you configure a passive interface, the show ipv6 ospf interface command adds the words passive interface. 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.
period command. The grace period is the time that the OSPFv3 neighbors continue to advertise the restarting router as though it is fully adjacent. When you enable graceful restart (restarting role), an OSPFv3 restarting expects its OSPFv3 neighbors to help when it restarts by not advertising the broken link. 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.

between the two mechanisms is the extent of the coverage. ESP only protects IP header fields if they are encapsulated by ESP. You decide the set of IPsec protocols that are employed for authentication and encryption and the ways in which they are employed. When you correctly implement and deploy IPsec, it does not adversely affect users or hosts. AH and ESP are designed to be cryptographic algorithm-independent.
– Configuring IPsec Authentication on an Interface – Configuring IPsec Encryption on an Interface – Configuring IPsec Authentication for an OSPFv3 Area – Configuring IPsec Encryption for an OSPFv3 Area – Displaying OSPFv3 IPsec Security Policies Configuring IPsec Authentication on an Interface To configure, remove, or display IPsec authentication on an interface, use the following commands.
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.
If you have enabled IPSec encryption in an OSPFv3 area using the area encryption command, you cannot use the area authentication command in the area at the same time. The configuration of IPSec authentication on an interface-level takes precedence over an area-level configuration. If you remove an interface configuration, an area authentication policy that has been configured is applied to the interface. • Enable IPSec authentication for OSPFv3 packets in an area.
– area area-id: specifies the area for which OSPFv3 traffic is to be encrypted. For area-id, enter a number or an IPv6 prefix. – spi number: is the security policy index (SPI) value. The range is from 256 to 4294967295. – esp encryption-algorithm: specifies the encryption algorithm used with ESP. The valid values are 3DES, DES, AES-CBC, and NULL. For AES-CBC, only the AES-128 and AES-192 ciphers are supported. – key: specifies the text string used in the encryption.

Policy-based Routing (PBR) 32 Policy-based Routing (PBR) allows a switch to make routing decisions based on policies applied to an interface.
To enable a PBR, you create a redirect list. Redirect lists are defined by rules, or routing policies.
Implementing Policy-based Routing with Dell Networking OS • Non-contiguous bitmasks for PBR • Hot-Lock PBR Non-contiguous bitmasks for PBR Non-contiguous bitmasks for PBR allows more granular and flexible control over routing policies. Network addresses that are in the middle of a subnet can be included or excluded. Specific bitmasks can be entered using the dotted decimal format. Non-contiguous bitmask example Dell#show ip redirect-list IP redirect-list rcl0: Defined as: seq 5 permit ip 200.200.200.
The following example creates a redirect list by the name of “xyz.” Dell(conf)#ip redirect-list ? WORD Redirect-list name (max 16 chars) Dell(conf)#ip redirect-list xyz Create a Rule for a Redirect-list 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.
Dell(conf-redirect-list)#redirect 3.3.3.3 ? <0-255> An IP protocol number icmp Internet Control Message Protocol ip Any Internet Protocol tcp Transmission Control Protocol udp User Datagram Protocol Dell(conf-redirect-list)#redirect 3.3.3.3 ip ?

Mask A.B.C.D or /nn Mask in dotted decimal or in format Dell(conf-redirect-list)#redirect 3.3.3.3 ip 222.1.1.1 /32 ? A.B.C.
PBR Exceptions (Permit) Use the command permit to create an exception to a redirect list. Exceptions are used when a forwarding decision should be based on the routing table rather than a routing policy. Dell Networking OS assigns the first available sequence number to a rule configured without a sequence number and inserts the rule into the PBR CAM region next to the existing entries. Since the order of rules is important, ensure that you configure any necessary sequence numbers.

PIM Sparse-Mode (PIM-SM) 33 Protocol-independent multicast sparse-mode (PIM-SM) is supported on the S6000 platform. 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. Implementation Information Be aware of the following PIM-SM implementation information.
3. If a host on the same subnet as another multicast receiver sends an IGMP report for the same multicast group, the gateway takes no action. If a router between the host and the RP receives a PIM Join message for which it already has a (*,G) entry, the interface on which the message was received is added to the outgoing interface list associated with the (*,G) entry, and the message is not (and does not need to be) forwarded towards 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.
To display PIM neighbors for each interface, use the show ip pim neighbor command EXEC Privilege mode. Dell#show ip Neighbor Address 127.87.5.5 127.87.3.5 127.87.50.5 Dell# pim neighbor Interface Uptime/Expires Ver Te 0/11 Te 0/12 Te 1/13 v2 v2 v2 01:44:59/00:01:16 01:45:00/00:01:16 00:03:08/00:01:37 DR Prio/Mode 1 / S 1 / DR 1 / S To display the PIM routing table, use the show ip pim tib command from EXEC privilege mode.
To configure a global expiry time or to configure the expiry time for a particular (S,G) entry, use the following commands. 1. Enable global expiry timer for S, G entries. CONFIGURATION mode ip pim sparse-mode sg-expiry-timer seconds The range is from 211 to 86,400 seconds. The default is 210. 2. Create an extended ACL. CONFIGURATION mode ip access-list extended access-list-name 3. Specify the source and group to which the timer is applied using extended ACLs with permit rules only.
Configuring a Static Rendezvous Point The rendezvous point (RP) is a PIM-enabled interface on a router that acts as the root a group-specific tree; every group must have an RP. • Identify an RP by the IP address of a PIM-enabled or Loopback interface. ip pim rp-address Example of Viewing an RP on a Loopback Interface Dell#sh run int loop0 ! interface Loopback 0 ip address 1.1.1.1/32 ip pim sparse-mode no shutdown Dell#sh run pim ! ip pim rp-address 1.1.1.1 group-address 224.0.0.
interface out of which it is sent and a DR priority value. The router with the greatest priority value is the DR. If the priority value is the same for two routers, then the router with the greatest IP address is the DR. By default, the DR priority value is 192, so the IP address determines the DR. • Assign a DR priority value. INTERFACE mode • ip pim dr-priority priority-value Change the interval at which a router sends hello messages.
Enter the tasks the user should do after finishing this task (optional).
PIM Source-Specific Mode (PIM-SSM) 34 PIM source-specific mode (PIM-SSM) is supported on the S6000 platform. 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.
Configure PIM-SMM Configuring PIM-SSM is a two-step process. 1. Configure PIM-SMM. 2. Enable PIM-SSM for a range of addresses. Related Configuration Tasks • Use PIM-SSM with IGMP Version 2 Hosts Enabling PIM-SSM To enable PIM-SSM, follow these steps. 1. Create an ACL that uses permit rules to specify what range of addresses should use SSM. CONFIGURATION mode ip access-list standard name 2. Enter the ip pim ssm-range command and specify the ACL you created.
• • • When you remove the mapping configuration, Dell Networking OS removes the corresponding (S,G) states that it created and re-establishes the original (*,G) states. You may enter multiple ssm-map commands for different access lists. You may also enter multiple ssm-map commands for the same access list, as long as they use different source addresses. When an extended ACL is associated with this command, Dell Networking OS displays an error message.

Create a monitoring session using the command monitor session from CONFIGURATION mode, as shown in the following example. CONFIGURATION mode monitor session monitor session type rpm/erpm type is an optional keyword, required only for rpm and erpm 3.
Note: Source as VLAN is achieved via Flow based mirroring. Please refer section Enabling Flow-Based Monitoring. In the following example, the host and server are exchanging traffic which passes through the uplink interface 1/1. Port 1/1 is the monitored port and port 1/42 is the destination port, which is configured to only monitor traffic received on tengigabitethernet 1/1 (host-originated traffic). Figure 95.
3. Apply the ACL to the monitored port. 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.

Remote Port Mirroring Example Remote port mirroring uses the analyzers shown in the aggregation network in Site A. The VLAN traffic on monitored links from the access network is tagged and assigned to a dedicated L2 VLAN. Monitored links are configured in two source sessions shown with orange and green circles. Each source session uses a separate reserved VLAN to transmit mirrored packets (mirrored source-session traffic is shown with an orange or green circle with a blue border).
• You can configure any switch in the network with source ports and destination ports, and allow it to function in an intermediate transport session for a reserved VLAN at the same time for multiple remote-port mirroring sessions. You can enable and disable individual mirroring sessions. • BPDU monitoring is not required to use remote port mirroring.
• By default, destination port sends the mirror traffic to the probe port by stripping off the rpm header. We can also configure the destination port to send the mirror traffic with the rpm header intact in the original mirror traffic.. • By default, ingress traffic on a destination port is dropped. Restrictions When you configure remote port mirroring, the following restrictions apply: • You can configure the same source port to be used in multiple source sessions.

ERPM Behavior on a typical Dell Networking OS The Dell Networking OS is designed to support only the Encapsulation of the data received / transmitted at the specified source port (Port A). An ERPM destination session / decapsulation of the ERPM packets at the destination Switch are not supported. As seen in the above figure, the packets received/transmitted on Port A will be encapsulated with an IP/GRE header plus a new L2 header and sent to the destination ip address (Port D’s ip address) on the sniffer.
39th byte in a given ERPM packet. The first 38/42 bytes of the header needs to be ignored/ chopped off. – Some tools support options to edit the capture file. We can make use of such features (for example: editcap ) and chop the ERPM header part and save it to a new trace file. This new file (i.e. the original mirrored packet) can be converted back into stream and fed to any egress interface. b.
Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+) 36 Per-VLAN spanning tree plus (PVST+) is supported on the S6000 platform. 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 96.
Table 52. 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.
Enabling PVST+ When you enable PVST+, Dell Networking OS instantiates STP on each active VLAN. 1. Enter PVST context. PROTOCOL PVST mode protocol spanning-tree pvst 2. Enable PVST+. PROTOCOL PVST mode 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.
Figure 97. 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.
Root Identifier has priority 4096, Address 0001.e80d.b6d6 Root Bridge hello time 2, max age 20, forward delay 15 Bridge Identifier has priority 4096, Address 0001.e80d.b6d6 Configured hello time 2, max age 20, forward delay 15 We are the root of VLAN 100 Current root has priority 4096, Address 0001.e80d.b6d6 Number of topology changes 5, last change occurred 00:34:37 ago on Gi 1/32 Port 375 (GigabitEthernet 1/22) is designated Forwarding Port path cost 20000, Port priority 128, Port Identifier 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 range is from 0 to 240, in increments of 16. The default is 128. 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.
PVST+ in Multi-Vendor Networks Some non-Dell Networking systems which have hybrid ports participating in PVST+ transmit two kinds of BPDUs: an 802.1D BPDU and an untagged PVST+ BPDU. Dell Networking systems do not expect PVST+ BPDU (tagged or untagged) on an untagged port. If this situation occurs, Dell Networking OS places the port in an Error-Disable state. This behavior might result in the network not converging.

Figure 99. Dell Networking QoS Architecture Implementation Information The Dell Networking QoS implementation complies with IEEE 802.1p User Priority Bits for QoS Indication.
Setting dot1p Priorities for Incoming Traffic Dell Networking OS places traffic marked with a priority in a queue based on the following table. If you set a dot1p priority for a port-channel, all port-channel members are configured with the same value. You cannot assign a dot1p value to an individual interface in a port-channel.

Figure 100.
Classify Traffic Class maps differentiate traffic so that you can apply separate quality of service policies to different types of traffic. For both class maps, Layer 2 and Layer 3, Dell Networking OS matches packets against match criteria in the order that you configure them. Creating a Layer 3 Class Map A Layer 3 class map differentiates ingress packets based on the DSCP value or IP precedence, and characteristics defined in an IP ACL.

ACLs acl1 and acl2 have overlapping rules because the address range 20.1.1.0/24 is within 20.0.0.0/8. Therefore (without the keyword order), packets within the range 20.1.1.0/24 match positive against cmap1 and are buffered in queue 7, though you intended for these packets to match positive against cmap2 and be buffered in queue 4. In cases such as these, where class-maps with overlapping ACL rules are applied to different queues, use the keyword order.

• Because this functionality forcibly marks all the packets matching the specific match criteria as ‘yellow’, Dell 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”.
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 dot1p Value for Egress Packets To set a dot1p value for egress packets, use the following command. • Set a dscp or dot1p value for egress packets.

• You cannot apply an input Layer 2 QoS policy on an interface you also configure with vlan-stack access. • If you apply a service policy that contains an ACL to more than one interface, Dell Networking OS uses ACL optimization to conserve CAM space. The ACL optimization behavior detects when an ACL exists in the CAM rather than writing it to the CAM multiple times. • Apply an input policy map to an interface.
You can apply the same policy map to multiple interfaces, and you can modify a policy map after you apply it. Enabling QoS Rate Adjustment By default while rate limiting, policing, and shaping, 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.
Queue Classification Requirements for PFC Functionality Queue classification requirements for PFC functionality are mentioned below: • On untagged ports, Queue classification must be based on DSCP. • On tagged ports, Queue classification must be based on Dot1p. Layer 3 classification configurations should not be present on the port. • On hybrid ports, Queue classification can be based on either Dot1p (for tagged packets) or DSCP (for untagged packets) but not both.
enabled in switch B. When queue 1 in switch B gets congested, PFC will be generated for priority 2 which will be honored in switch A. You will not get the below CLI errors after adding this support: Dell(conf)#qos-policy-input qos-input Dell(conf-qos-policy-in)#set mac-dot1p 5 % Error: Dot1p marking is not allowed on L3 Input Qos Policy.

Create a WRED profile. CONFIGURATION mode wred-profile 2. Specify the minimum and maximum threshold values. WRED mode threshold Applying a WRED Profile to Traffic After you create a WRED profile, you must specify to which traffic Dell Networking OS should apply the profile.

EXEC mode show qos wred-profile Displaying WRED Drop Statistics To display WRED drop statistics, use the following command. • Display the number of packets Dell Networking OS the WRED profile drops.
• • Estimated CAM — the estimated number of CAM entries that the policy will consume when it is applied to an interface. Status — indicates whether the specified policy-map can be completely applied to an interface in the port-pipe. – Allowed — indicates that the policy-map can be applied because the estimated number of CAM entries is less or equal to the available number of CAM entries. The number of interfaces in the port-pipe to which the policy-map can be applied is given in parentheses.
You can use the rate-shape pps peak-rate burst-packets command in the QoS Policy Out Configuration mode to configure the peak rate and burst size as a measure of pps. Alternatively, you can use the rate shape kbps peak-rate burst-KB command to configure the peak rate and peak burst size as a measure of bytes.
feature to configure a weight for WRED and ECN functionality for front-end ports is supported on the S6000 platform. The WRED congestion avoidance functionality drops packets to prevent buffering resources from being consumed. Traffic is a mixture of various kinds of packets. The rate at which some types of packets arrive might be greater than others.
are used– one for loss-based queues and the other for lossless (priority-based flow control (PFC)) queues. You can enable WRED and ECN configuration on the global service-pools. You can define WRED profiles and weight on each of the global service-pools for both loss-based and lossless (PFC) service- pools.

Configuring WRED and ECN Attributes The functionality to configure a weight factor for the WRED and ECN functionality for backplane ports is supported on the Z9000 platform.
4. Associate the service class with the WRED profile, and assign the WRED profile to specific queues on backplane ports.

• Because this functionality forcibly marks all the packets matching the specific match criteria as ‘yellow’, Dell 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”.
In such a condition, it is necessary that the switch is capable to take differentiated actions for ECN/NonECN packets. After classifying packets to ECN/Non-ECN, marking ECN and Non-ECN packets to different color packets is performed. Policy based ingress QOS involves the following three steps to achieve QOS: 1. Classification of incoming traffic. 2. Specify the differentiated actions for different traffic class. 3. Attach the policy-map to the interface.

Applying Layer 2 Match Criteria on a Layer 3 Interface To process Layer 3 packets that contain a dot1p (IEEE 802.1p) VLAN Layer 2 header, configure VLAN tags on a Layer 3 port interface which is configured with an IP address but has no VLAN associated with it. You can also configure a VLAN sub-interface on the port interface and apply a policy map that classifies packets using the dot1p VLAN ID.
Depending on the buffer space statistical values that you can obtain, you can modify the settings for buffer area to achieve enhanced reliability and efficiency in the handling of packets. This evaluation and administration of buffer statistics is useful and important in deployments that experience congestion frequently. The receive buffer must be large enough to save all data that is received when the system processes a PFC PAUSE frame. You can use the service-class buffer shared-threshold-weight queue0 ..
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) 38 Routing information protocol (RIP) is supported on the S6000 platform. RIP is based on a distance-vector algorithm; it tracks distances or hop counts to nearby routers when establishing network connections. RIP protocol standards are listed in the Standards Compliance chapter. Protocol Overview RIP is the oldest interior gateway protocol. There are two versions of RIP: RIP version 1 (RIPv1) and RIP version 2 (RIPv2).
Implementation Information Dell Networking OS supports both versions of RIP and allows you to configure one version globally and the other version on interfaces or both versions on the interfaces. The following table lists the defaults for RIP in Dell Networking OS. Table 61.
Enabling RIP Globally By default, RIP is not enabled in Dell Networking OS. To enable RIP globally, use the following commands. 1. Enter ROUTER RIP mode and enable the RIP process on Dell Networking OS. CONFIGURATION mode router rip 2. Assign an IP network address as a RIP network to exchange routing information.

Configure RIP on Interfaces When you enable RIP globally on the system, interfaces meeting certain conditions start receiving RIP routes.
• distribute-list prefix-list-name in Assign a configured prefix list to all outgoing RIP routes. ROUTER RIP mode distribute-list prefix-list-name out To view the current RIP configuration, use the show running-config command in EXEC mode or the show config command in ROUTER RIP mode. Adding RIP Routes from Other Instances In addition to filtering routes, you can add routes from other routing instances or protocols to the RIP process.
• Set the RIP versions received on that interface. INTERFACE mode • ip rip receive version [1] [2] Set the RIP versions sent out on that interface. INTERFACE mode ip rip send version [1] [2] Examples of the RIP Process To see whether the version command is configured, use the show config command in ROUTER RIP mode. The following example shows the RIP configuration after the ROUTER RIP mode version command is set to RIPv2.
Automatic network summarization is in effect Outgoing filter for all interfaces is Incoming filter for all interfaces is Default redistribution metric is 1 Default version control: receive version 2, send version 2 Interface Recv Send FastEthernet 0/0 2 1 2 Routing for Networks: 10.0.0.
Controlling Route Metrics As a distance-vector protocol, RIP uses hop counts to determine the best route, but sometimes the shortest hop count is a route over the lowest-speed link. To manipulate RIP routes so that the routing protocol prefers a different route, manipulate the route by using the offset command. Exercise caution when applying an offset command to routers on a broadcast network, as the router using the offset command is modifying RIP advertisements before sending out those advertisements.
Dell#debug ip rip RIP protocol debug is ON Dell# To disable RIP, use the no debug ip rip command. RIP Configuration Example The examples in this section show the command sequence to configure RIPv2 on the two routers shown in the following illustration — Core 2 and Core 3. The host prompts used in the following example reflect those names.
Core 2 RIP Output The examples in the section show the core 2 RIP output. Examples of the show ip Commands to View Core 2 Information • To display Core 2 RIP database, use the show ip rip database command. • To display Core 2 RIP setup, use the show ip route command. • To display Core 2 RIP activity, use the show ip protocols command. The following example shows the show ip rip database command to view the learned RIP routes on Core 2.
The following example shows the show ip protocols command to show the RIP configuration activity on Core 2.

Remote Monitoring (RMON) 39 Remote monitoring (RMON) is supported on the S6000 platform. 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.
• • long as the master RPM had been running long enough to sample all the data. NMS backs up all the long-term data collection and displays the failover downtime from the performance graph. Chassis Down — When a chassis goes down, all sampled data is lost. But the RMON configurations are saved in the configuration file. The sampling process continues after the chassis returns to operation. Platform Adaptation — RMON supports all Dell Networking chassis and all Dell Networking Ethernet interfaces.
The following example configures RMON alarm number 10. The alarm monitors the MIB variable 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.20.1 (ifEntry.ifOutErrors) once every 20 seconds until the alarm is disabled, and checks the rise or fall of the variable. The alarm is triggered when the 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.20.1 value shows a MIB counter increase of 15 or more (such as from 100000 to 100015). The alarm then triggers event number 1, which is configured with the RMON event command. Possible events include a log entry or an SNMP trap.
– controlEntry: specifies the RMON group of statistics using a value. – integer: a value from 1 to 65,535 that identifies the RMON Statistics Table. The value must be unique in the RMON Statistic Table. – owner: (Optional) specifies the name of the owner of the RMON group of statistics. – ownername: (Optional) records the name of the owner of the RMON group of statistics. The default is a null-terminated string.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) 40 Rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP) is supported on the S6000 platform. 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 Networking OS supports three other variations of spanning tree, as shown in the following table. Table 62.
Important Points to Remember • RSTP is disabled by default. • 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.
3. Enable the interface. INTERFACE mode no shutdown Example of Verifying an Interface is in Layer 2 Mode and Enabled To verify that an interface is in Layer 2 mode and enabled, use the show config command from INTERFACE mode. The bold lines indicate that the interface is in Layer 2 mode.
Figure 103. Rapid Spanning Tree Enabled Globally To view the interfaces participating in RSTP, use the show spanning-tree rstp command from EXEC privilege mode. If a physical interface is part of a port channel, only the port channel is listed in the command output. Dell#show spanning-tree rstp Root Identifier has priority 32768, Address 0001.e801.cbb4 Root Bridge hello time 2, max age 20, forward delay 15, max hops 0 Bridge Identifier has priority 32768, Address 0001.e801.
BPDU : sent 121, received 2 The port is not in the Edge port mode Port 379 (GigabitEthernet 2/3) is designated Forwarding Port path cost 20000, Port priority 128, Port Identifier 128.379 Designated root has priority 32768, address 0001.e801.cbb4 Designated bridge has priority 32768, address 0001.e801.cbb4 Designated port id is 128.
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. • Hello-time — the time interval in which the bridge sends RSTP BPDUs.
NOTE: With large configurations (especially those configurations with more ports) Dell Networking recommends increasing the hello-time. The range is from 1 to 10. • The default is 2 seconds. Change the max-age parameter. 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.
To view the current values for interface parameters, use the show spanning-tree rstp command from EXEC privilege mode. Enabling SNMP Traps for Root Elections and Topology Changes To enable SNMP traps collectively, use this command. Enable SNMP traps for RSTP, MSTP, and PVST+ collectively. snmp-server enable traps xstp 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.
• If the interface to be shut down is a port channel, all the member ports are disabled in the hardware. • When you add a physical port to a port channel already in the Error Disable state, the new member port is also disabled in the hardware. • When you remove a physical port from a port channel in the Error Disable state, the error disabled state is cleared on this physical port (the physical port is enabled in the hardware).
The range is from 50 to 950 milliseconds. Example of Verifying Hello-Time Interval Dell(conf-rstp)#do show spanning-tree rstp brief Executing IEEE compatible Spanning Tree Protocol Root ID Priority 0, Address 0001.e811.2233 Root Bridge hello time 50 ms, max age 20, forward delay 15 Bridge ID Priority 0, Address 0001.e811.2233 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.
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) 41 Dell Networking operating software supports Software-Defined Networking (SDN). For more information, refer to the SDN Deployment Guide.
Service Provider Bridging 42 Service provider bridging is supported on the S6000 platform. VLAN Stacking Virtual local area network (VLAN) stacking is supported on the S6000 platform. 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. It enables service providers to use 802.
Figure 104. 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 VLANStack-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. 1. Creating Access and Trunk Ports 2. Assign access and trunk ports to a VLAN (Creating Access and Trunk Ports). 3. Enabling VLAN-Stacking for a VLAN.
interface GigabitEthernet 7/12 no ip address switchport vlan-stack trunk no shutdown Enable VLAN-Stacking for a VLAN To enable VLAN-Stacking for a VLAN, use the following command. • Enable VLAN-Stacking for the 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-Stacking-enabled VLAN are marked with an M in column Q.
To configure trunk ports, use the following commands. 1. Configure a trunk port to carry untagged, single-tagged, and double-tagged traffic by making it a hybrid port. INTERFACE mode portmode hybrid 2. Add the port to a 802.1Q VLAN as tagged or untagged.
• MT — stacked trunk • MU — stacked access port • T — 802.1Q trunk port • U — 802.1Q access port • NU — Native VLAN (untagged) Dell# debug member vlan 603 vlan id : 603 ports : Gi 2/47 (MT), Gi 3/1(MU), Gi 3/25(MT), Gi 3/26(MT), Gi 3/27(MU) Dell#debug member port gigabitethernet 2/47 vlan id : 603 (MT), 100(T), 101(NU) Dell# VLAN Stacking in Multi-Vendor Networks The first field in the VLAN tag is the tag protocol identifier (TPID), which is 2 bytes.

Figure 106.
Figure 107. Single and Double-Tag TPID Mismatch VLAN Stacking Packet Drop Precedence VLAN stacking packet drop precedence is available on the S6000 platform. The drop eligible indicator (DEI) bit in the S-Tag indicates to a service provider bridge which packets it should prefer to drop when congested. Enabling Drop Eligibility Enable drop eligibility globally before you can honor or mark the DEI value. When you enable drop eligibility, DEI mapping or marking takes place according to the defaults.

Retain outer tag CFI Set outer tag CFI to 0. Retain inner tag CFI Retain inner tag CFI Set outer tag CFI to 0 Set outer tag CFI to 0 Access Port Trunk Port To enable drop eligibility globally, use the following command. • Make packets eligible for dropping based on their DEI value.
Marking Egress Packets with a DEI Value On egress, you can set the DEI value according to a different mapping than ingress. For ingress information, refer to Honoring the Incoming DEI Value. To mark egress packets, use the following command. • Set the DEI value on egress according to the color currently assigned to the packet.
• • Mark the S-Tag dot1p and queue the frame according to the original C-Tag dot1p. In this case, you must have other dot1p QoS configurations; this option is classic dot1p marking. Mark the S-Tag dot1p and queue the frame according to the S-Tag dot1p. For example, if frames with C-Tag dot1p values 0, 6, and 7 are mapped to an S-Tag dot1p value 0, all such frames are sent to the queue associated with the S-Tag 802.1p value 0.
service-policy input in layer2 no shutdown Mapping C-Tag to S-Tag dot1p Values To map C-Tag dot1p values to S-Tag dot1p values and mark the frames accordingly, use the following commands. 1. Allocate CAM space to enable queuing frames according to the C-Tag or the S-Tag.
Figure 109. VLAN Stacking without L2PT You might need to transport control traffic transparently through the intermediate network to the other region. Layer 2 protocol tunneling enables BPDUs to traverse the intermediate network by identifying frames with the Bridge Group Address, rewriting the destination MAC to a user-configured non-reserved address, and forwarding the frames.
the intermediate network because only Dell Networking OS could recognize the significance of the destination MAC address and rewrite it to the original Bridge Group Address. In Dell Networking OS version 8.2.1.0 and later, the L2PT MAC address is user-configurable, so you can specify an address that non-Dell Networking systems can recognize and rewrite the address at egress edge. Figure 110. VLAN Stacking with L2PT Implementation Information • L2PT is available for STP, RSTP, MSTP, and PVST+ BPDUs.
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.
sFlow 43 Configuring sFlow is supported on the S6000 platform. Overview The Dell Networking Operating System (OS) supports sFlow version 5. sFlow is a standard-based sampling technology embedded within switches and routers which is used to monitor network traffic. It is designed to provide traffic monitoring for high-speed networks with many switches and routers. sFlow uses two types of sampling: • Statistical packet-based sampling of switched or routed packet flows.
Important Points to Remember • The Dell Networking OS implementation of the sFlow MIB supports sFlow configuration via snmpset. • Dell Networking recommends the sFlow Collector be connected to the Dell Networking chassis through a line card port rather than the route processor module (RPM) management Ethernet port. • Dell Networking OS exports all sFlow packets to the collector. A small sampling rate can equate to many exported packets.

You can specify up to two sFlow collectors. If you specify two collectors, the samples are sent to both.
As a result of back-off, the actual sampling-rate of an interface may differ from its configured sampling rate. You can view the actual sampling-rate of the interface and the configured sample-rate by using the show sflow command. 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 The S-Series platforms support extended-switch information processing only.

44 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Simple network management protocol (SNMP) is supported on the S6000 platform. NOTE: On Dell Networking routers, standard and private SNMP management information bases (MIBs) are supported, including all Get and a limited number of Set operations (such as set vlan and copy cmd). Protocol Overview Network management stations use SNMP to retrieve or alter management data from network elements.
Configuration mode. When the FIPS mode is enabled on the system, SNMPv3 operates in a FIPScompliant manner, and only the FIPS-approved algorithm options are available for SNMPv3 user configuration. When the FIPS mode is disabled on the system, all options are available for SNMPv3 user configuration.
Configuration Task List for SNMP Configuring SNMP version 1 or version 2 requires a single step. NOTE: The configurations in this chapter use a UNIX environment with net-snmp version 5.4. This environment is only one of many RFC-compliant SNMP utilities you can use to manage your Dell Networking system using SNMP. Also, these configurations use SNMP version 2c. • Creating a Community Configuring SNMP version 3 requires configuring SNMP users in one of three methods.
Creating a Community For SNMPv1 and SNMPv2, create a community to enable the community-based security in Dell Networking OS. The management station generates requests to either retrieve or alter the value of a management object and is called the SNMP manager. A network element that processes SNMP requests is called an SNMP agent. An SNMP community is a group of SNMP agents and managers that are allowed to interact.
• snmp-server group group-name 3 noauth auth read name write name Configure an SNMPv3 view. CONFIGURATION mode snmp-server view view-name oid-tree {included | excluded} NOTE: To give a user read and write view privileges, repeat this step for each privilege type. • Configure the user with an authorization password (password privileges only). CONFIGURATION mode • snmp-server user name group-name 3 noauth auth md5 auth-password Configure an SNMP group (password privileges only).
• Read the value of a single managed object. • snmpget -v version -c community agent-ip {identifier.instance | descriptor.instance} Read the value of the managed object directly below the specified object. • snmpgetnext -v version -c community agent-ip {identifier.instance | descriptor.instance} Read the value of many objects at once. snmpwalk -v version -c community agent-ip {identifier.instance | descriptor.
Configuring Contact and Location Information using SNMP You may configure system contact and location information from the Dell Networking system or from the management station using SNMP. To configure system contact and location information from the Dell Networking system and from the management station using SNMP, use the following commands. • (From a Dell Networking system) Identify the system manager along with this person’s contact information (for example, an email address or phone number).
Subscribing to Managed Object Value Updates using SNMP By default, the Dell Networking system displays some unsolicited SNMP messages (traps) upon certain events and conditions. You can also configure the system to send the traps to a management station. Traps cannot be saved on the system. Dell Networking OS supports the following three sets of traps: • • • RFC 1157-defined traps — coldStart, warmStart, linkDown, linkUp, authenticationFailure, and egpNeighbborLoss.
snmp coldstart snmp linkdown snmp linkup SNMP_COLD_START: Agent Initialized - SNMP COLD_START. SNMP_WARM_START:Agent Initialized - SNMP WARM_START. PORT_LINKDN:changed interface state to down:%d PORT_LINKUP:changed interface state to up:%d Enabling a Subset of SNMP Traps You can enable a subset of Dell Networking enterprise-specific SNMP traps using one of the following listed command options. To enable a subset of Dell Networking enterprise-specific SNMP traps, use the following command.
exceeds threshold of %dC) MAJOR_TEMP_CLR: Major alarm cleared: chassis temperature lower (%s %d temperature is within threshold of %dC) envmon fan FAN_TRAY_BAD: Major alarm: fantray %d is missing or down FAN_TRAY_OK: Major alarm cleared: fan tray %d present FAN_BAD: Minor alarm: some fans in fan tray %d are down FAN_OK: Minor alarm cleared: all fans in fan tray %d are good vlt Enable VLT traps.

MIB Object OID Object Values Description is set to runningconfig or startupconfig, copySrcFileName is not required. copyDestFileType . 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3.5.1.1.1. 1.5 1 = Dell Networking OS file Specifies the type of file to copy to. 2 = running-config • 3 = startup-config • copyDestFileLocation . 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3.5.1.1.1. 1.6 1 = flash If copySourceFileType is running-config or startup-config, the default copyDestFileLocatio n is flash.
Copying a Configuration File To copy a configuration file, use the following commands. NOTE: In UNIX, enter the snmpset command for help using the following commands. Place the f10-copy-config.mib file in the directory from which you are executing the snmpset command or in the snmpset tool path. 1. Create an SNMP community string with read/write privileges. CONFIGURATION mode snmp-server community community-name rw 2. Copy the f10-copy-config.
• Copy the running-config to the startup-config from the UNIX machine. snmpset -v 2c -c public force10system-ip-address copySrcFileType.index i 2 copyDestFileType.index i 3 Examples of Copying Configuration Files The following examples show the command syntax using MIB object names and the same command using the object OIDs. In both cases, a unique index number follows the object. The following example shows copying configuration files using MIB object names. > snmpset -v 2c -r 0 -t 60 -c private -m .
Copying the Startup-Config Files to the Server via FTP To copy the startup-config to the server via FTP from the UNIX machine, use the following command. Copy the startup-config to the server via FTP from the UNIX machine. snmpset -v 2c -c public -m ./f10-copy-config.mib force10system-ip-address copySrcFileType.index i 2 copyDestFileName.index s filepath/filename copyDestFileLocation.index i 4 copyServerAddress.index a server-ip-address copyUserName.index s server-login-id copyUserPassword.

Storm Control 45 Storm control is supported on the S6000 platform. The storm control feature allows you to control unknown-unicast and broadcast traffic on Layer 2 and Layer 3 physical interfaces. Dell Networking Operating System (OS) Behavior: Dell Networking OS supports broadcast control (the storm-control broadcast command) for Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic. Configure Storm Control Storm control is supported in INTERFACE mode and CONFIGURATION mode.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) 46 The spanning tree protocol (STP) is supported on the S6000 platform. Protocol Overview STP is a Layer 2 protocol — specified by IEEE 802.1d — that eliminates loops in a bridged topology by enabling only a single path through the network. By eliminating loops, the protocol improves scalability in a large network and allows you to implement redundant paths, which can be activated after the failure of active paths.
Important Points to Remember • • • • • STP is disabled by default. The Dell Networking OS supports only one spanning tree instance (0). For multiple instances, enable the multiple spanning tree protocol (MSTP) or per-VLAN spanning tree plus (PVST+). You may only enable one flavor of spanning tree at any one time. All ports in virtual local area networks (VLANs) and all enabled interfaces in Layer 2 mode are automatically added to the spanning tree topology at the time you enable the protocol.
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. INTERFACE mode no shutdown 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.
Figure 112. Spanning Tree Enabled Globally To enable STP globally, use the following commands. 1. Enter PROTOCOL SPANNING TREE mode. CONFIGURATION mode protocol spanning-tree 0 2. Enable STP. PROTOCOL SPANNING TREE mode no disable Examples of Verifying Spanning Tree Information To disable STP globally for all Layer 2 interfaces, use the disable command from PROTOCOL SPANNING TREE mode. To verify that STP is enabled, use the show config command from PROTOCOL SPANNING TREE mode.
To view the spanning tree configuration and the interfaces that are participating in STP, use the show spanning-tree 0 command from EXEC privilege mode. If a physical interface is part of a port channel, only the port channel is listed in the command output. R2#show spanning-tree 0 Executing IEEE compatible Spanning Tree Protocol Bridge Identifier has priority 32768, address 0001.e826.ddb7 Configured hello time 2, max age 20, forward delay 15 Current root has priority 32768, address 0001.e80d.
spanning-tree 0 Modifying Global Parameters You can modify the spanning tree parameters. The root bridge sets the values for forward-delay, hellotime, and max-age and overwrites the values set on other bridges participating in STP. NOTE: Dell Networking recommends that only experienced network administrators change the spanning tree parameters. Poorly planned modification of the spanning tree parameters can negatively affect network performance. The following table displays the default values for STP.
PROTOCOL SPANNING TREE 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 0 command from EXEC privilege mode. Refer to the second example in Enabling Spanning Tree Protocol Globally. Modifying Interface STP Parameters You can set the port cost and port priority values of interfaces in Layer 2 mode. • Port cost — a value that is based on the interface type.
CAUTION: Enable PortFast only on links connecting to an end station. PortFast can cause loops if it is enabled on an interface connected to a network. To enable PortFast on an interface, use the following command. • Enable PortFast on an interface.
• When you add a physical port to a port channel already in the Error Disable state, the new member port is also disabled in the hardware. • When you remove a physical port from a port channel in the Error Disable state, the Error Disabled state is cleared on this physical port (the physical port is enabled in the hardware). • The reset linecard command does not clear the Error Disabled state of the port or the Hardware Disabled state. The interface continues to be disables in the hardware.

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.

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.
• Enable root guard on a port or port-channel interface. INTERFACE mode or INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode spanning-tree {0 | mstp | rstp | pvst} rootguard – 0: enables root guard on an STP-enabled port assigned to instance 0. – mstp: enables root guard on an MSTP-enabled port. – rstp: enables root guard on an RSTP-enabled port. – pvst: enables root guard on a PVST-enabled port.
STP Loop Guard STP loop guard is supported only on the platform. The STP loop guard feature provides protection against Layer 2 forwarding loops (STP loops) caused by a hardware failure, such as a cable failure or an interface fault. When a cable or interface fails, a participating STP link may become unidirectional (STP requires links to be bidirectional) and an STP port does not receive BPDUs. When an STP blocking port does not receive BPDUs, it transitions to a Forwarding state.
Figure 115. STP Loop Guard Prevents Forwarding Loops Configuring Loop Guard Enable STP loop guard on a per-port or per-port channel basis. Dell Networking OS Behavior: The following conditions apply to a port enabled with loop guard: • Loop guard is supported on any STP-enabled port or port-channel interface.
• You cannot enable root guard and loop guard at the same time on an STP port. For example, if you configure loop guard on a port on which root guard is already configured, the following error message is displayed: % Error: RootGuard is configured. Cannot configure LoopGuard. • Enabling Portfast BPDU guard and loop guard at the same time on a port results in a port that remains in a blocking state and prevents traffic from flowing through it.
47 System Time and Date System time and date settings and the network time protocol (NTP) are supported on the S6000 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. In the release 9.4.(0.0), support for reaching an NTP server through different VRFs is included. You can configure a maximum of eight logging servers across different VRFs or the same VRF.
certain fields in the message, recalculates the checksum and returns the message immediately. Information included in the NTP message allows the client to determine the server time regarding local time and adjust the local clock accordingly. In addition, the message includes information to calculate the expected timekeeping accuracy and reliability, as well as select the best from possibly several servers.
Implementation Information Dell Networking systems can only be an NTP client. Configure the Network Time Protocol Configuring NTP is a one-step process. • Enabling NTP Related Configuration Tasks • Configuring NTP Broadcasts • Setting the Hardware Clock with the Time Derived from NTP • Disabling NTP on an Interface • Configuring a Source IP Address for NTP Packets (optional) Enabling NTP NTP is disabled by default.

Tunneling 48 Tunnel interfaces create a logical tunnel for IPv4 or IPv6 traffic. Tunneling supports RFC 2003, RFC 2473, and 4213. DSCP, hop-limits, flow label values, OSPFv2, and OSPFv3 are also supported. ICMP error relay, PATH MTU transmission, and fragmented packets are not supported. Configuring a Tunnel You can configure a tunnel in IPv6 mode, IPv6IP mode, and IPIP mode. You can configure a tunnel in IPv6 mode, IPv6IP mode, and IPIP mode.
ipv6 address 2::1/64 tunnel destination 90.1.1.1 tunnel source 60.1.1.1 tunnel mode ipv6ip no shutdown The following sample configuration shows a tunnel configured in IPIP mode (IPv4 tunnel carries IPv4 and IPv6 traffic): Dell(conf)#interface tunnel 3 Dell(conf-if-tu-3)#tunnel source 5::5 Dell(conf-if-tu-3)#tunnel destination 8::9 Dell(conf-if-tu-3)#tunnel mode ipv6 Dell(conf-if-tu-3)#ip address 3.1.1.
Configuring a Tunnel Interface You can configure the tunnel interface using the ip unnumbered and ipv6 unnumbered commands. To configure the tunnel interface to operate without a unique explicit ip or ipv6 address, select the interface from which the tunnel will borrow its address. The following sample configuration shows how to use the tunnel interface configuration commands. Dell(conf-if-te-0/0)#show config ! interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/0 ip address 20.1.1.
Configuring Tunnel source anylocal Decapsulation The tunnel source anylocal command allows a multipoint receive-only tunnel to decapsulate tunnel packets addressed to any IPv4 or IPv6 (depending on the tunnel mode) address configured on the switch that is operationally UP. The source anylocal parameters can be used for packet decapsulation instead of the ip address or interface (tunnel allow-remote command), but only on multipoint receive-only mode tunnels.
Multipoint Receive-Only Type and IP Unnumbered Interfaces for Tunnels Multipoint receive-only type IP Tunnel is now supported in S6000 platform. This is a new type of tunnel that is expected to only decapsulate packets from remote end points but never forwards packets on the tunnel. Additional level of protection on the receive-only type IP tunnels is available by allowing only a given prefix/range of remote peers. IP unnumbered interface address configuration on the IP Tunnels is now supported.

Virtual LANs (VLANs) 50 Virtual LANs (VLANs) are supported on the S6000 platform. 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.
information is preserved as the frame moves through the network. The following example shows the structure of a frame with a tag header. The VLAN ID is inserted in the tag header. Figure 117. Tagged Frame Format The tag header contains some key information that 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).
• Configure a port-based VLAN (if the VLAN-ID is different from the Default VLAN ID) and enter INTERFACE VLAN mode. CONFIGURATION mode interface vlan vlan-id To activate the VLAN, after you create a VLAN, assign interfaces in Layer 2 mode to the VLAN. Example of Verifying a Port-Based VLAN To view the configured VLANs, use the show vlan command in EXEC Privilege mode.
The following example shows the steps to add a tagged interface (in this case, port channel 1) to VLAN 4. To view the interface’s status. Interface (po 1) is tagged and in VLAN 2 and 3, use the show vlan command. In a port-based VLAN, use the tagged command to add the interface to another VLAN. The show vlan command output displays the interface’s (po 1) changed status. Except for hybrid ports, only a tagged interface can be a member of multiple VLANs.
Moving Untagged Interfaces To move untagged interfaces from the Default VLAN to another VLAN, use the following commands. 1. Access INTERFACE VLAN mode of the VLAN to which you want to assign the interface. CONFIGURATION mode interface vlan vlan-id 2. Configure an interface as untagged. INTERFACE mode untagged interface This command is available only in VLAN interfaces.
4 Dell# Active T U Gi 3/1 Gi 3/2 The only way to remove an interface from the Default VLAN is to place the interface in Default mode by using the no switchport command in INTERFACE mode. Assigning an IP Address to a VLAN VLANs are a Layer 2 feature. For two physical interfaces on different VLANs to communicate, you must assign an IP address to the VLANs to route traffic between the two interfaces.
To configure a port so that it can be a member of an untagged and tagged VLANs, use the following commands. 1. Remove any Layer 2 or Layer 3 configurations from the interface. INTERFACE mode 2. Configure the interface for Hybrid mode. INTERFACE mode portmode hybrid 3. Configure the interface for Switchport mode. INTERFACE mode switchport 4. Add the interface to a tagged or untagged VLAN.
VLT Proxy Gateway 51 You can configure a proxy gateway in VLT domains. A proxy gateway enables you to locally route the packets that are destined to a L3 endpoint in another VLT domain. Proxy Gateway in VLT Domains Using a proxy gateway, the VLT peers in a domain can route the L3 packets destined for VLT peers in another domain as long as they have L3 reachability of these IP destinations.
When the routing table across DCs is not symmetrical, there is a possibility of a routing miss by a DC that do not have the route for the L3 traffic. Since routing protocols will enabled and both the DC’s comes in same subnet there will not be route asymmetry dynamically. But if static route is configured on one DC and not on the other, it will result is asymmetry. Proxy routing can still be achieved locally by configuring a static route or default gateway.
8. LLDP port channel interface can’t be changed to legacy lag when proxy gateway is enabled. 9.“vlt-peer-mac transmit” is recommended only for square VLT without any diagonal links. 10. VRRP and IPv6 routing is not supported now. 11. With the existing hardware capabilities, only 512 my_station_tcam entries can be supported. 12. PVLAN not supported 13. After VM Motion, it’s expected that VM Host will send GARP in term, host previous VLT Domain will have mac movement points to newer VLT Domain 14.
• There are only a couple of MACs for each unit to be transmitted so that all current active MACs can definitely be carried on the newly defined TLV. • This TLV is recognizable only by FTOS devices with this feature support. Other device will ignore this field and should still be able to process other standard TLVs. The LLDP organizational TLV passes local DA information to peer VLT domain devices so they can act as proxy gateway.
2. Trace route across VLT domains may show extra hops. 3. IP route symmetry must be maintained across the VLT domains. Assume if the route to a destination is not available at C2, though the packet hits the MY_STATION_TCAM and routing is enabled for that VLAN, if there is no entry for that prefix in the routing table it will dropped to CPU. By default, all route miss packets are given to CPU. To avoid this static entry must be configured. 4.
8. Packet duplication – Assume exclude-vlan (say VLAN 10) is configured on C2/D2 for C1’s MAC. If packets for VLAN 10 with C1’s MAC get a hit at C2, they will be switched to both D2 (via ICL) and C1 via inter DC link. This could lead to packet duplication. So, if C1’s MAC is learnt at C2 then the packet would not have flooded (to D2) and only switched to C1 and thus avoided packet duplication. Configuring a Static VLT Proxy Gateway You can configure a proxy gateway in VLT domains.
3. You can configure the port channel interface for an LLDP proxy gateway and exclude a VLAN or a range of VLANs from proxy routing. This parameter is for an LLDP proxy gateway configuration.

Virtual Link Trunking (VLT) 52 Virtual link trunking (VLT) is supported on the S6000 platform. Overview VLT allows physical links between two chassis to appear as a single virtual link to the network core or other switches such as Edge, Access, or top-of-rack (ToR). 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.
Figure 118. VLT on Switches VLT on Core Switches You can also deploy VLT on core switches. Uplinks from servers to the access layer and from access layer to the aggregation layer are bundled in LAG groups with end-to-end Layer 2 multipathing. This set up requires “horizontal” stacking at the access layer and VLT at the aggregation layer such that all the uplinks from servers to access and access to aggregation are in Active-Active Load Sharing mode.
Figure 119. Enhanced VLT 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. Both ends must be on 10G or 40G interfaces.
Configure Virtual Link Trunking VLT requires that you enable the feature and then configure the same VLT domain, backup link, and VLT interconnect on both peer switches. Important Points to Remember • VLT port channel interfaces must be switch ports. • If you include RSTP on the system, configure it before VLT. Refer to Configure Rapid Spanning Tree. • Dell Networking strongly recommends that the VLTi (VLT interconnect) be a static LAG and that you disable LACP on the VLTi.
• In a scenario where one hundred hosts are connected to a Peer1 on a non-VLT domain and traffic flows through Peer1 to Peer2; when you move these hosts from a non-VLT domain to a VLT domain and send ARP requests to Peer1, only half of these ARP requests reach Peer1, while the remaining half reach Peer2 (beacuse of LAG hashing). The reason for this behavior is that Peer1 ignores the ARP requests that it receives on VLTi (ICL) and updates only the ARP requests that it receives on the local VLT.
– The system automatically includes the required VLANs in VLTi. You do not need to manually select VLANs. – VLT peer switches operate as separate chassis with independent control and data planes for devices attached to non-VLT ports. – Port-channel link aggregation (LAG) across the ports in the VLT interconnect is required; individual ports are not supported. Dell Networking strongly recommends configuring a static LAG for VLTi.
– The chassis backup link does not carry control plane information or data traffic. Its use is restricted to health checks only. • Virtual link trunks (VLTs) between access devices and VLT peer switches – To connect servers and access switches with VLT peer switches, you use a VLT port channel, as shown in Overview. Up to 48 port-channels are supported; up to eight member links are supported in each port channel between the VLT domain and an access device.
– Dell Networking does not recommend enabling peer-routing if the CAM is full. To enable peerrouting, a minimum of two local DA spaces for wild card functionality are required. • Software features supported on VLT physical ports – In a VLT domain, the following software features are supported on VLT physical ports: 802.1p, LLDP, flow control, IPv6 dynamic routing, port monitoring, and jumbo frames.
Primary and Secondary VLT Peers Primary and Secondary VLT Peers are supported on the platform. To prevent issues when connectivity between peers is lost, you can designate Primary and Secondary roles for VLT peers . You can elect or configure the Primary Peer. By default, the peer with the lowest MAC address is selected as the Primary Peer. You can configure another peer as the Primary Peer using the VLT domain domain-id role priority priority-value command.
When the bandwidth usage drops below the 80% threshold, the system generates another syslog message (shown in the following message) and an SNMP trap. %STKUNIT0-M:CP %VLTMGR-6-VLT-LAG-ICL: Overall Bandwidth utilization of VLT-ICLLAG (port-channel 25) reaches below threshold.
PIM-Sparse Mode Support on VLT The designated router functionality of the PIM Sparse-Mode multicast protocol is supported on VLT peer switches for multicast sources and receivers that are connected to VLT ports. VLT peer switches can act as a last-hop router for IGMP receivers and as a first-hop router for multicast sources. Figure 120.
(DR) if they are incorrectly hashed. In addition to being first-hop or last -hop routers, the peer node can also act as an intermediate router. On a VLT-enabled PIM router, if any PIM neighbor is reachable through a Spanned Layer 3 (L3) VLAN interface, this must be the only PIM-enabled interface to reach that neighbor. A Spanned L3 VLAN is any L3 VLAN configured on both peers in a VLT domain. This does not apply to server-side L2 VLT ports because they do not connect to any PIM routers.
local DA entries in TCAM. In case a VLT node is down, a timer that allows you to configure the amount of time needed for peer recovery provides resiliency. You can enable VLT unicast across multiple configurations using VLT links. You can enable ECMP on VLT nodes using VLT unicast. VLT unicast routing is supported on both IPv6/IPv4. To enable VLT unicast routing, both VLT peers must be in L3 mode. Static route and routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF, ISIS, and BGP are supported.
• VLT resiliency — After a VLT link or peer failure, if the traffic hashes to the VLT peer, the traffic continues to be routed using multicast until the PIM protocol detects the failure and adjusts the multicast distribution tree. • Optimal routing — The VLT peer that receives the incoming traffic can directly route traffic to all downstream routers connected on VLT ports.
Non-VLT ARP Sync Synchronization for non-ARP routing table entries is supported on the platform. ARP entries (including ND entries) learned on other ports are synced with the VLT peer to support station move scenarios. NOTE: ARP entries learned on non-VLT, non-spanned VLANs are not synced with VLT peers. RSTP Configuration RSTP is supported in a VLT domain. Before you configure VLT on peer switches, configure RSTP in the network. RSTP is required for initial loop prevention during the VLT startup phase.
Sample RSTP Configuration The following is a sample of an RSTP configuration. Using the example shown in the 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.
Configuring a VLT Interconnect To configure a VLT interconnect, follow these steps. 1. Configure the port channel for the VLT interconnect on a VLT switch and enter interface configuration mode. CONFIGURATION mode interface port-channel id-number Enter the same port-channel number configured with the peer-link port-channel command as described in Enabling VLT and Creating a VLT Domain. NOTE: To be included in the VLTi, the port channel must be in Default mode (no switchport or VLAN assigned). 2.
Enabling VLT and Creating a VLT Domain To enable VLT and create a VLT domain, use the following steps. 1. Enable VLT on a switch, then configure a VLT domain and enter VLT-domain configuration mode. CONFIGURATION mode vlt domain domain-id The domain ID range is from 1 to 1000. Configure the same domain ID on the peer switch to allow for common peering. VLT uses the domain ID to automatically create a VLT MAC address for the domain.
Configuring a VLT Backup Link To configure a VLT backup link, use the following command. 1. Specify the management interface to be used for the backup link through an out-of-band management network. CONFIGURATION mode interface managementethernet slot/ port Enter the slot (0-1) and the port (0). 2. Configure an IPv4 address (A.B.C.D) or IPv6 address (X:X:X:X::X) and mask (/x) on the interface.

CONFIGURATION mode vlt domain domain-id The range of domain IDs is from 1 to 1000. 2. (Optional) After you configure the VLT domain on each peer switch on both sides of the interconnect trunk, by default, Dell Networking OS elects a primary and secondary VLT peer device.
Connecting a VLT Domain to an Attached Access Device (Switch or Server) To connect a VLT domain to an attached access device, use the following commands. On a VLT peer switch: To connect to an attached device, configure the same port channel ID number on each peer switch in the VLT domain. 1. Configure the same port channel to be used to connect to an attached device and enter interface configuration mode. CONFIGURATION mode interface port-channel id-number 2. Remove an IP address from the interface.

CONFIGURATION mode vlt domain domain-id The range of domain IDs is from 1 to 1000. 2. Enter the port-channel number that acts as the interconnect trunk. VLT DOMAIN CONFIGURATION mode peer-link port-channel id-number The range is from 1 to 128. 3.
3. Enter VLT-domain configuration mode for a specified VLT domain. CONFIGURATION mode vlt domain domain-id The range of domain IDs is from 1 to 1000. 4. Enter the port-channel number that acts as the interconnect trunk. 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.
8. Configure enhanced VLT. Configure the port channel to be used for the VLT interconnect on a VLT switch and enter interface configuration mode. CONFIGURATION mode interface port-channel id-number Enter the same port-channel number configured with the peer-link port-channel command in the Enabling VLT and Creating a VLT Domain. 9. Place the interface in Layer 2 mode. INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode switchport 10.
VLT Sample Configuration To review a sample VLT configuration setup, study these steps. 1. Configure the VLT domain with the same ID in VLT peer 1 and VLT peer 2. VLT DOMAIN mode vlt domain domain id 2. Configure the VLTi between VLT peer 1 and VLT peer 2. 3. You can configure LACP/static LAG between the peer units (not shown).
13. Verify that the VLT LAG is running in both VLT peer units. EXEC mode or EXEC Privilege mode show interfaces interface Example of Configuring VLT In the following sample VLT configuration steps, VLT peer 1 is , VLT peer 2 is , and the ToR is S60-1. NOTE: If you use a third-party ToR unit, Dell Networking recommends using static LAGs with VLT peers to avoid potential problems if you reboot the VLT peers. Configure the VLT domain with the same ID in VLT peer 1 and VLT peer 2.
Configure the VLT links between VLT peer 1 and VLT peer 2 to the Top of Rack unit. In the following example, port Te 0/40 in VLT peer 1 is connected to Te 0/48 of TOR and port Te 0/18 in VLT peer 2 is connected to Te 0/50 of TOR. 1. Configure the static LAG/LACP between the ports connected from VLT peer 1 and VLT peer 2 to the Top of Rack unit. 2. Configure the VLT peer link port channel id in VLT peer 1 and VLT peer 2. 3.

Troubleshooting VLT To help troubleshoot different VLT issues that may occur, use the following information. NOTE: For information on VLT Failure mode timing and its impact, contact your Dell Networking representative. Table 72. Troubleshooting VLT Description Behavior at Peer Up Behavior During Run Time Action to Take Bandwidth monitoring A syslog error message and an SNMP trap is generated when the VLTi bandwidth usage goes above the 80% threshold and when it drops below 80%.

Specifying VLT Nodes in a PVLAN You can configure VLT peer nodes in a private VLAN (PVLAN). VLT enables redundancy without the implementation of Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and provides a loop-free network with optimal bandwidth utilization. Because the VLT LAG interfaces are terminated on two different nodes, PVLAN configuration of VLT VLANs and VLT LAGs are symmetrical and identical on both the VLT peers. PVLANs provide Layer 2 isolation between ports within the same VLAN.
not validated if you associate an ICL to a PVLAN. Similarly, if you dissociate an ICL from a PVLAN, although the PVLAN parity exists, ICL is removed from that PVLAN. Association of VLTi as a Member of a PVLAN If a VLAN is configured as a non-VLT VLAN on both the peers, the VLTi link is made a member of that VLAN if the VLTi link is configured as a PVLAN or normal VLAN on both the peers.
PVLAN Operations When a VLT Peer is Restarted When the VLT peer node is rebooted, the VLAN membership of the VLTi link is preserved and when the peer node comes back online, a verification is performed with the newly received PVLAN configuration from the peer. If any differences are identified, the VLTi link is either added or removed from the VLAN. When the peer node restarts and returns online, all the PVLAN configurations are exchanged across the peers.

4. Ensure that the port channel is active. INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode no shutdown 5. To configure the VLT interconnect, repeat Steps 1–4 on the VLT peer switch. 6. Enter VLT-domain configuration mode for a specified VLT domain. CONFIGURATION mode vlt domain domain-id The range of domain IDs is from 1 to 1000. 7. Enter the port-channel number that acts as the interconnect trunk. VLT DOMAIN CONFIGURATION mode peer-link port-channel id-number The range is from 1 to 128. 8.
5. Access INTERFACE VLAN mode for the VLAN to which you want to assign the PVLAN interfaces. CONFIGURATION mode interface vlan vlan-id 6. Enable the VLAN. INTERFACE VLAN mode no shutdown 7. To obtain maximum VLT resiliency, configure the PVLAN IDs and mappings to be identical on both the VLT peer nodes. Set the PVLAN mode of the selected VLAN to primary. INTERFACE VLAN mode private-vlan mode primary 8. Map secondary VLANs to the selected primary VLAN.
proxy ARP. For example, consider a sample topology in which VLAN 100 is configured on two VLT nodes, node 1 and node 2. ICL link is not configured between the two VLT nodes. Assume that the VLAN 100 IP address in node 1 is 10.1.1.1/24 and VLAN 100 IP address in node 2 is 20.1.1.2/24. In this case, if the ARP request for 20.1.1.1 reaches node 1, node 1 will not perform the ARP request for 20.1.1.2. Proxy ARP is supported only for the IP address belongs to the received interface IP network.
VLT Nodes as Rendezvous Points for Multicast Resiliency You can configure virtual link trunking (VLT) peer nodes as rendezvous points (RPs) in a Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) domain. PIM uses a VLT node as the RP to distribute multicast traffic to a multicast group. Messages to join the multicast group (Join messages) and data are sent towards the RP, so that receivers can discover who the senders are and begin receiving traffic destined for the multicast group.
Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) 53 Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) is supported on the S6000 platform. Overview S6000 device acts as the VXLAN gateway and performs the VXLAN Tunnel End Point (VTEP) functionality. VXLAN is a technology where in the data traffic from the virtualized servers is transparently transported over an existing legacy network. Components of VXLAN network VXLAN provides a mechanism to extend an L2 network over an L3 network.
• Network Virtualization Platform (NVP) Controller • VTEP (VXLAN Tunnel End Point) • VXLAN Gateway • VXLAN Hypervisor • Service Node (SN) • Legacy TOR Network Virtualization Platform (NVP) Controller NVP Controller is the network controller for managing cloud components. The OVSDB protocol is the protocol used for communication between VTEPs and the controller. In the current release, the qualified controller for the VXLAN Gateway function is NSX-from VMWare.
Functional Overview of VXLAN Gateway The following section is the functional overview of VXLAN Gateway: 1. Provides connectivity between a Virtual server infrastructure and a Physical server infrastructure. 2. Provides the functions performed by a VTEP in a virtual server infrastructure. The functions of a VTEP are: • VTEP is responsible for creating one or more logical networks.
Components of VXLAN Frame Format Some of the important fields of the VXLAN frame format are described below: Outer Ethernet Header: Outer IP Header: Outer UDP Header: VXLAN Header : Frame Check Sequence (FCS): The Outer Ethernet Header consists of the following components: • Destination Address: Generally, it is a first hop router's MAC address when the VTEP is on a different address. • Source Address : It is the source MAC address of the router that routes the packet.
To create a Hypervisor or server, the required fields are the IP address and SSL certificate of the server. The following are the snapshots of the user interface for creating a Hypervisor: 2.
To create service node, the required fields are the IP address and SSL certificate of the server. The Service node is responsible for broadcast/unknown unicast/multicast traffic replication. The following is the snapshot of the user interface for the creation of service node: 3. Create VXLAN Gateway To create a VXLAN L2 Gateway, the IP address of the Gateway is mandatory. The following is the snapshot of the user interface in creating a VXLAN Gateway 4.
NOTE: For more details about NVP controller configuration, refer to the NVP user guide from VMWare . Configuring VxLAN Gateway To configure the VxLAN gateway on the S6000 platform, follow these steps: 1. Connecting to NVP controller 2. Advertising VXLAN access ports to controller Connecting to an NVP Controller To connect to an NVP controller, use the following commands. 1. feature vxlan CONFIGURATION mode feature vxlan You must configure feature VXLAN to configure vxlan-instance. 2.
6. fail-mode (Optional) VxLAN INSTANCE mode fail-mode secure If the local VTEP loses connectivity with the controller, it will delete all its database and hardware flows/resources. 7. no shut VxLAN INSTANCE mode Advertising VXLAN Access Ports to Controller To advertise the access ports to the controller, use the following command. In INTERFACE mode, vxlan-instance command configures a VXLAN-Access Port into a VXLANinstance.

Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) 54 Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) allows a physical router to partition itself into multiple Virtual Routers (VRs). The control and data plane are isolated in each VR so that traffic does NOT flow across VRs.Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) allows multiple instances of a routing table to co-exist within the same router at the same time. VRF Overview VRF improves functionality by allowing network paths to be segmented without using multiple devices.
Figure 122. VRF Network Example VRF Configuration Notes Although there is no restriction on the number of VLANs that can be assigned to a VRF instance, the total number of routes supported in VRF is limited by the size of the IPv4 CAM. VRF is implemented in a network device by using Forwarding Information Bases (FIBs).
A network device may have the ability to configure different virtual routers, where entries in the FIB that belong to one VRF cannot be accessed by another VRF on the same device. Only Layer 3 interfaces can belong to a VRF.

Task Command Syntax Command Mode Create a non-default VRF instance by specifying a name and VRF ID number, and enter VRF configuration mode. ip vrf vrf-name vrf-id VRF CONFIGURATION ID range: 1 to 63 and 0 (default VRF) Assigning an Interface to a VRF You must enter the ip vrf forwarding command before you configure the IP address or any other setting on an interface.
Configuring VRRP on a VRF Instance You can configure the VRRP feature on interfaces that belong to a VRF instance. In a virtualized network that consists of multiple VRFs, various overlay networks can exist on a shared physical infrastructure. Nodes (hosts and servers) that are part of the VRFs can be configured with IP static routes for reaching specific destinations through a given gateway in a VRF.

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) 55 Virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP) is supported on the S6000 platform. 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 125. 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. VRRP Implementation Within a single VRRP group, up to 12 virtual IP addresses are supported.
CAUTION: Increasing the advertisement interval increases the VRRP Master dead interval, resulting in an increased failover time for Master/Backup election. Take caution when increasing the advertisement interval, as the increased dead interval may cause packets to be dropped during that switch-over time. VRRP Configuration By default, VRRP is not configured. Configuration Task List The following list specifies the configuration tasks for VRRP.
Examples of Configuring and Verifying VRRP The following examples how to configure VRRP. Dell(conf)#int gi 1/1 Dell(conf-if-gi-1/1)#vrrp-group 111 Dell(conf-if-gi-1/1-vrid-111)# The following examples how to verify the VRRP configuration. Dell(conf-if-gi-1/1)#show conf ! interface GigabitEthernet 1/1 ip address 10.10.10.
NOTE: Carefully following this procedure, otherwise you might introduce dual master switches issues. To migrate an IPv4 VRRP Group from VRRPv2 to VRRPv3: 1. Set the backup switches to VRRP version to both. Dell_backup_switch1(conf-if-te-0/1-vrid-100)#version both Dell_backup_switch2(conf-if-te-0/2-vrid-100)#version both 2. Set the master switch to VRRP protocol version 3. Dell_master_switch(conf-if-te-0/1-vrid-100)#version 3 3. Set the backup switches to version 3.
Configuring a Virtual IP Address To configure a virtual IP address, use the following commands. 1. Configure a VRRP group. INTERFACE mode vrrp-group vrrp-id The VRID range is from 1 to 255. 2. Configure virtual IP addresses for this VRID. INTERFACE -VRID mode virtual-address ip-address1 [...ip-address12] The range is up to 12 addresses. Examples of the Configuring and Verifying a Virtual IP Address The following example shows how to configure a virtual IP address.
Authentication: (none) -----------------GigabitEthernet 1/2, VRID: 111, Net: 10.10.2.1 State: Master, Priority: 100, Master: 10.10.2.1 (local) Hold Down: 0 sec, Preempt: TRUE, AdvInt: 1 sec Adv rcvd: 0, Bad pkts rcvd: 0, Adv sent: 27, Gratuitous ARP sent: 2 Virtual MAC address: 00:00:5e:00:01:6f Virtual IP address: 10.10.2.2 10.10.2.3 Authentication: When the VRRP process completes its initialization, the State field contains either Master or Backup.
Virtual IP address: 10.10.2.2 10.10.2.3 Authentication: (none) Dell(conf)# Configuring VRRP Authentication Simple authentication of VRRP packets ensures that only trusted routers participate in VRRP processes. When you enable authentication, Dell Networking OS includes the password in its VRRP transmission. The receiving router uses that password to verify the transmission.\ NOTE: You must configure all virtual routers in the VRRP group the same: you must enable authentication with the same password or aut
no preempt Examples of Disabling Preempt Re-enable preempt by entering the preempt command. When you enable preempt, it does not display in the show commands, because it is a default setting. The following example shows how to disable preempt using the no preempt command. Dell(conf-if-gi-1/1)#vrrp-group 111 Dell(conf-if-gi-1/1-vrid-111)#no preempt Dell(conf-if-gi-1/1-vrid-111)# The following example shows how to verify preempt is disabled using the show conf command.
• The default is 1 second. For VRRPv3, change the advertisement centisecs interval setting. INTERFACE-VRID mode advertise-interval centisecs centisecs The range is from 25 to 4075 centisecs in units of 25 centisecs. The default is 100 centisecs. Examples of the advertise-interval Command The following example shows how to change the advertise interval using the advertise-interval command.
• Port channel: enter port-channel number. • SONET: enter sonet slot/port. • VLAN: enter vlan vlan-id. – The 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).
The following example shows how to verify tracking using the show conf command. Dell(conf-if-gi-1/1-vrid-111)#show conf ! vrrp-group 111 advertise-interval 10 authentication-type simple 7 387a7f2df5969da4 no preempt priority 255 track GigabitEthernet 1/2 virtual-address 10.10.10.1 virtual-address 10.10.10.2 virtual-address 10.10.10.3 virtual-address 10.10.10.10 Dell(conf-if-gi-1/1-vrid-111)# The following example shows verifying the tracking status.
vrrp-ipv6-group 1 track 2 priority-cost 20 track 3 priority-cost 30 virtual-address 2007::1 virtual-address fe80::1 no shutdown Setting VRRP Initialization Delay VRRP initialization delay is supported on the S6000 platform. When configured, VRRP is enabled immediately upon system reload or boot. You can delay VRRP initialization to allow the IGP and EGP protocols to be enabled prior to selecting the VRRP Master. This delay ensures that VRRP initializes with no errors or conflicts.
Sample Configurations Before you set up VRRP, review the following sample configurations. VRRP for an IPv4 Configuration The following configuration shows how to enable IPv4 VRRP. This example does not contain comprehensive directions and is intended to provide guidance for only a typical VRRP configuration. You can copy and paste from the example to your CLI. To support your own IP addresses, interfaces, names, and so on, be sure that you make the necessary changes.
Examples of Configuring VRRP for IPv4 and IPv6 The following example shows configuring VRRP for IPv4 Router 2. R2(conf)#int gi 2/31 R2(conf-if-gi-2/31)#ip address 10.1.1.1/24 R2(conf-if-gi-2/31)#vrrp-group 99 R2(conf-if-gi-2/31-vrid-99)#priority 200 R2(conf-if-gi-2/31-vrid-99)#virtual 10.1.1.3 R2(conf-if-gi-2/31-vrid-99)#no shut R2(conf-if-gi-2/31)#show conf ! interface GigabitEthernet 2/31 ip address 10.1.1.1/24 ! vrrp-group 99 priority 200 virtual-address 10.1.1.
Figure 127. VRRP for an IPv6 Configuration NOTE: In a VRRP or VRRPv3 group, if two routers come up with the same priority and another router already has MASTER status, the router with master status continues to be MASTER even if one of two routers has a higher IP or IPv6 address. The following example shows configuring VRRP for IPv6 Router 2 and Router 3. Configure a virtual link local (fe80) address for each VRRPv3 group created for an interface.
Although R2 and R3 have the same default, priority (100), R2 is elected master in the VRRPv3 group because the GigE 0/0 interface has a higher IPv6 address than the GigE 1/0 interface on R3.
VRRP in a VRF Configuration The following example shows how to enable VRRP operation in a VRF virtualized network for the following scenarios. • Multiple VRFs on physical interfaces running VRRP. • Multiple VRFs on VLAN interfaces running VRRP. To view a VRRP in a VRF configuration, use the show commands. VRRP in a VRF: Non-VLAN Scenario The following example shows how to enable VRRP in a non-VLAN.

S-Series Debugging and Diagnostics 56 This chapter describes debugging and diagnostics for the S6000 platform. Offline Diagnostics The offline diagnostics test suite is useful for isolating faults and debugging hardware. The diagnostics tests are grouped into three levels: • Level 0 — Level 0 diagnostics check for the presence of various components and perform essential path verifications. In addition, Level 0 diagnostics verify the identification registers of the components on the board.
Running Offline Diagnostics To run offline diagnostics, use the following commands. For more information, refer to the examples following the steps. 1. Place the unit in the offline state. EXEC Privilege mode offline stack-unit id You cannot enter this command on a MASTER or Standby stack unit. NOTE: The system reboots when the offline diagnostics complete. This is an automatic process.
Also reboot/online command is necessary for normal operation after the offline command is issued.

configure 13 ports as fanout in each pipe, the system identifies the three ports in each pipe that are not configured in Fanout mode and deletes those entries from the port table. This removal of entries ensures that ports are not created for such pipes. • Entity MIB that uses static port configuration supports all of the ports, including those ports that are configured for fanout. • When you configure 26 ports as fanout, six ports are disabled. For disabled ports, interfaces are not created.
Figure 129. Port configured in Quad mode. Backward Compatibility With Enhanced Fanout Configuration When you configure fanout on the ports in which fanout is not supported in releases of Dell Networking OS earlier than Release 9.4(0.0), downgrade to an earlier release might cause an unexpected behavior. This phenomenon occurs because in Release 9.4(0.0), static configuration for the restricted ports is maintained. Validation of the restricted ports is performed at the CLI level and not during bootup.

1 0 104 0 0 0 0 Trace Logs In addition to the syslog buffer, Dell Networking OS buffers trace messages which are continuously written by various Dell Networking OS software tasks to report hardware and software events and status information. Each trace message provides the date, time, and name of the Dell Networking OS process. All messages are stored in a ring buffer. You can save the messages to a file either manually or automatically after failover.
Recognize an Overtemperature Condition An overtemperature condition occurs, for one of two reasons: the card genuinely is too hot or a sensor has malfunctioned. Inspect cards adjacent to the one reporting the condition to discover the cause. • If directly adjacent cards are not normal temperature, suspect a genuine overheating condition. • If directly adjacent cards are normal temperature, suspect a faulty sensor. When the system detects a genuine over-temperature condition, it powers off the card.
This message indicates that the specified card is not receiving enough power. In response, the system first shuts down Power over Ethernet (PoE). If the under-voltage condition persists, line cards are shut down, then the RPMs. Troubleshoot an Under-Voltage Condition To troubleshoot an under-voltage condition, check that the correct number of power supplies are installed and their Status light emitting diodes (LEDs) are lit.
Buffer Tuning Buffer tuning allows you to modify the way your switch allocates buffers from its available memory and helps prevent packet drops during a temporary burst of traffic. The S-Series application-specific integrated circuit (ASICs) implement the key functions of queuing, feature lookups, and forwarding lookups in hardware.
• Oversubscription ratio = 10 • Dynamic Cell Limit Per port = 59040/29 = 2036 cells Figure 130. Buffer Tuning Points Deciding to Tune Buffers Dell Networking recommends exercising caution when configuring any non-default buffer settings, as tuning can significantly affect system performance. The default values work for most cases. As a guideline, consider tuning buffers if traffic is bursty (and coming from several interfaces). In this case: • Reduce the dedicated buffer on all queues/interfaces.
• buffer-profile csf csqueue Change the dedicated buffers on a physical 1G interface. BUFFER PROFILE mode • buffer dedicated Change the maximum number of dynamic buffers an interface can request. BUFFER PROFILE mode • buffer dynamic Change the number of packet-pointers per queue. BUFFER PROFILE mode • buffer packet-pointers Apply the buffer profile to a line card. CONFIGURATION mode • buffer fp-uplink linecard Apply the buffer profile to a CSF to FP link.
To display the default buffer profile, use the show buffer-profile {summary | detail} command from EXEC Privilege mode. The following example shows viewing the default buffer profile.

You must reload the system for the global buffer profile to take effect, a message similar to the following displays: % Info: For the global pre-defined buffer profile to take effect, please save the config and reload the system..

Mini Core Dumps Dell Networking OS supports mini core dumps on the application and kernel crashes. The mini core dump applies to Master, Standby, and Member units. Application and kernel mini core dumps are always enabled. The mini core dumps contain the stack space and some other minimal information that you can use to debug a crash. These files are small files and are written into flash until space is exhausted. When the flash is full, the write process is stopped.
--------------------FREE MEMORY--------------uvmexp.free = 0x2312 Enabling TCP Dumps A TCP dump captures CPU-bound control plane traffic to improve troubleshooting and system manageability. When you enable TCP dump, it captures all the packets on the local CPU, as specified in the CLI. You can save the traffic capture files to flash, FTP, SCP, or TFTP. The files saved on the flash are located in the flash://TCP_DUMP_DIR/Tcpdump_/ directory and labeled tcpdump_*.pcap.
