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.
PAGE 33
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.
PAGE 34
• 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. You can configure a password for this mode; refer to the Configure the Enable Password section in the Getting Started chapter.

• 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.
PAGE 42
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.
PAGE 43
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.
PAGE 44
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.
PAGE 46
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.

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.
PAGE 50
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.
PAGE 51
- - - 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.
PAGE 52
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.
PAGE 55
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.

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
PAGE 61
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”.
PAGE 62
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.
PAGE 63
• 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.

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.

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.
PAGE 76
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.
PAGE 77
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.
PAGE 78
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.
PAGE 79
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. Enabling 802.1X Enable 802.1X globally. Figure 6. 802.1X Enabled 1. Enable 802.1X globally.

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 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.
PAGE 81
Configuring Request Identity Re-Transmissions If the authenticator sends a Request Identity frame, but the supplicant does not respond, the authenticator waits 30 seconds and then re-transmits the frame. The amount of time that the authenticator waits before re-transmitting and the maximum number of times that the authenticator re-transmits are configurable.
PAGE 82
Example of Configuring and Verifying Port Authentication The following example shows configuration information for a port for which the authenticator retransmits an EAP Request Identity frame: • after 90 seconds and a maximum of 10 times for an unresponsive supplicant • re-transmits an EAP Request Identity frame The bold lines show the new re-transmit interval, new quiet period, and new maximum re-transmissions.

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.
PAGE 87
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.
PAGE 90
• 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.
PAGE 91
• 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).
PAGE 92
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.

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.
PAGE 95
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.

CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP mode • set next-hop ip-address Assign an IPv6 address as the route’s next hop.
PAGE 99
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.

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).
PAGE 101
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.
PAGE 103
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.
PAGE 104
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.

NOTE: When assigning sequence numbers to filters, you may have to insert a new filter.
PAGE 106
The following example shows an extended IP ACL in which the sequence numbers were assigned by the software. The filters were assigned sequence numbers based on the order in which they were configured (for example, the first filter was given the lowest sequence number). The show config command in IP ACCESS LIST mode displays the two filters with the sequence numbers 5 and 10. Example of Viewing Filter Sequence for a Specified Extended ACL Dell(config-ext-nacl)#deny tcp host 123.55.34.
PAGE 107
For information about MAC ACLs, refer to Layer 2. Assign an IP ACL to an Interface To pass traffic through a configured IP ACL, assign that ACL to a physical interface, a port channel interface, or a VLAN. The IP ACL is applied to all traffic entering a physical or port channel interface and the traffic is either forwarded or dropped depending on the criteria and actions specified in the ACL. The same ACL may be applied to different interfaces and that changes its functionality.
PAGE 108

Counting ACL Hits You can view the number of packets matching the ACL by using the count option when creating ACL entries. 1. Create an ACL that uses rules with the count option. Refer to Configure a Standard IP ACL Filter. 2.

seq 5 permit tcp any any seq 10 deny icmp any any seq 15 permit 1.1.1.2 Configure Egress ACLs Egress ACLs are supported on the S6000 platform. Egress ACLs are applied to line cards and affect the traffic leaving the system. Configuring egress ACLs onto physical interfaces protects the system infrastructure from attack — malicious and incidental — by explicitly allowing only authorized traffic. These system-wide ACLs eliminate the need to apply ACLs onto each interface and achieves the same results.

For example, if you initiate a ping session from the system and apply an egress ACL to block this type of traffic on the interface, the ACL does not affect that ping traffic.

Example of Assigning Sequence Numbers to Filters If you want to forward all routes that do not match the prefix list criteria, configure a prefix list filter to permit all routes (permit 0.0.0.0/0 le 32). The “permit all” filter must be the last filter in your prefix list. To permit the default route only, enter permit 0.0.0.0/0.

When a stack unit is reset or a stack unit undergoes a failure, the ACL agent registers with the port mirroring application. The port mirroring utility downloads the monitoring configuration to the ACL agent. The interface manager notifies the port mirroring application about the removal of an interface when an ACL entry associated with that interface to is deleted.

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.
PAGE 122
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.
PAGE 123
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.
PAGE 124
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.
PAGE 125
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.
PAGE 128
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.

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.
PAGE 140
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.
PAGE 141
typical response is to terminate the peering session for the routing protocol and reconverge by bypassing the failed neighboring router.

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.
PAGE 153
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.
PAGE 154
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.
PAGE 155
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.

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.
PAGE 160
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.

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.

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.
PAGE 176
To add an internal BGP (IBGP) neighbor, configure the as-number parameter with the same BGP asnumber configured in the router bgp as-number command. Examples of Viewing and Configuring Peer Groups After you create a peer group, you can use any of the commands beginning with the keyword neighbor to configure that peer group. When you add a peer to a peer group, it inherits all the peer group’s configured parameters.

When you disable a peer group, all the peers within the peer group that are in the ESTABLISHED state move to the IDLE state.

When you enable fall-over, BGP tracks IP reachability to the peer remote address and the peer local address. Whenever either address becomes unreachable (for example, no active route exists in the routing table for peer IPv6 destinations/local address), BGP brings down the session with the peer. The BGP fast fall-over feature is configured on a per-neighbor or peer-group basis and is disabled by default. To enable the BGP fast fall-over feature, use the following command.

to affect interdomain routing. By identifying certain ASN in the AS_PATH, you can permit or deny routes based on the number in its AS_PATH. AS-PATH ACLs use regular expressions to search AS_PATH values. AS-PATH ACLs have an “implicit deny.” This means that routes that do not meet a deny or match filter are dropped. To configure an AS-PATH ACL to filter a specific AS_PATH value, use these commands in the following sequence. 1. Assign a name to a AS-PATH ACL and enter AS-PATH ACL mode.

IETF RFC 1997 defines the COMMUNITY attribute and the predefined communities of INTERNET, NO_EXPORT_SUBCONFED, NO_ADVERTISE, and NO_EXPORT. All BGP routes belong to the INTERNET community. In the RFC, the other communities are defined as follows: • All routes with the NO_EXPORT_SUBCONFED (0xFFFFFF03) community attribute are not sent to CONFED-EBGP or EBGP peers, but are sent to IBGP peers within CONFED-SUB-AS. • All routes with the NO_ADVERTISE (0xFFFFFF02) community attribute must not be advertised.

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).
PAGE 196
• 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).

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.

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.
PAGE 204
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.

Content Addressable Memory (CAM) 9 Content addressable memory (CAM) is supported on the S6000 platform. CAM is a type of memory that stores information in the form of a lookup table. On Dell Networking systems, CAM stores Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding information, access-lists (ACLs), flows, and routing policies. CAM Allocation The user configurable CAM allocations feature is available on the S6000 platform.

Troubleshoot CAM Profiling The following section describes CAM profiling troubleshooting. CAM Profile Mismatches The CAM profile on all cards must match the system profile. In most cases, the system corrects mismatches by copying the correct profile to the card, and rebooting the card. If three resets do not bring up the card, or if the system is running an Dell Networking OS version prior to version 6.3.1.1, the system presents an error message.
PAGE 222
A table-full error message is displayed once the number of entries is crossed the table size. Table-full message is generated only once when it crosses the threshold. For subsequent addition of entries, the table-full message is not recorded you clear the table-full message. The table-full message is cleared internally when the number of entries is less than the table size.
PAGE 223
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.
PAGE 224
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.
PAGE 225
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).

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.
PAGE 232
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.
PAGE 233
• 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.
PAGE 234
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..
PAGE 235
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.
PAGE 236
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.
PAGE 237
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.

PAGE 240
You can enable any number of 802.1p priorities for PFC. Queues to which PFC priority traffic is mapped are lossless by default. Traffic may be interrupted due to an interface flap (going down and coming up) when you reconfigure the lossless queues for no-drop priorities in a PFC input policy and reapply the policy to an interface. To apply PFC, a PFC peer must support the configured priority traffic (as detected by DCBx).

Separate the queue values with a comma; specify a priority range with a dash; for example, pfc no-drop queues 1,7 or pfc no-drop queues 2-7.
PAGE 242
• By default, the PFC buffer is enabled on all ports on the stack unit. Configure the PFC buffer for all port pipes in a specified stack unit by specifying the port-pipe number, number of PFC-enabled ports, and number of configured lossless queues. CONFIGURATION mode [no] dcb stack-unit stack-unit-id [port-set port-set-id] pfc-buffering pfcports {1-64} pfc-queues {1-2} Valid stack-unit IDs are 0 to 5.

• When allocating bandwidth or configuring a queue scheduler for dot1p priorities in a priority group on a DCBx CIN interface, take into account the CIN bandwidth allocation (refer to Configuring Bandwidth Allocation for DCBx CIN) and dot1p-queue mapping.
PAGE 244
4. Exit DCB Output Policy Configuration mode. POLICY-MAP-OUT-ETS mode exit Dell Networking OS Behavior: Traffic in priority groups is assigned to strict-queue or WERR scheduling in an DCB output policy and is managed using the ETS bandwidth-assignment algorithm. Dell Networking OS deqeues all frames of strict-priority traffic before servicing any other queues. A queue with strictpriority traffic can starve other queues in the same port.
PAGE 245
Creating an ETS Priority Group An ETS priority group specifies the range of 802.1p priority traffic to which a QoS output policy with ETS settings is applied on an egress interface. You can associate a priority group to more than one ETS output policy on different interfaces. 1. Create an ETS priority group to use with an ETS output policy. CONFIGURATION mode priority-group group-name The maximum is 32 characters. 2. Configure the priority-group identifier.
PAGE 246
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. If you configure more than one priority queue as strict priority or more than one priority group as strict priority, the higher numbered priority queue is given preference when scheduling data traffic.
PAGE 247
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.
PAGE 248
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. This default setting divides the bandwidth allocated to each port queue equally between the dot1p priority traffic assigned to the queue.

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.
PAGE 250
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.
PAGE 251
• If the received peer configuration is not compatible with the currently configured port configuration, the link with the DCBx peer port is disabled and a syslog message for an incompatible configuration is generated. The network administrator must then reconfigure the peer device so that it advertises a compatible DCB configuration. – The internally propagated configuration is not stored in the switch's running configuration.
PAGE 252
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.
PAGE 253
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.
PAGE 254
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).

The default is Auto. 4.
PAGE 258
• fcoe: enables the advertisement of FCoE in Application Priority TLVs. • iscsi: enables the advertisement of iSCSI in Application Priority TLVs. The default is Application Priority TLVs are enabled to advertise FCoE and iSCSI. NOTE: To disable TLV transmission, use the no form of the command; for example, no advertise DCBx-appln-tlv iscsi. For information about how to use iSCSI, refer to iSCSI Optimization. To verify the DCBx configuration on a port, use the show interface DCBx detail command.
PAGE 259
NOTE: You can configure the transmission of more than one TLV type at a time. You can only enable ETS recommend TLVs (ets-reco) if you enable ETS configuration TLVs (ets-conf). To disable TLV transmission, use the no form of the command; for example, no advertise DCBx-tlv pfc ets-reco. The default is All TLV types are enabled. 5. Configure the Application Priority TLVs that advertise on unconfigured interfaces with a manual portrole.

policy map to forward the matched DSCP packet to that queue. PFC frames gets generated with PFC priority associated with the queue when the queue gets congested. Operations on Untagged 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.
PAGE 273
PRIORITY to PG mapping (PRIO2PG) is on the ingress for each port. By default, all priorities are mapped to PG7. A priority for which PFC has to be generated is assigned to a PG other than PG7 (say PG6) and buffer watermark is set on PG6 so as to generate PFC. In ingress, the buffers are accounted at per PG basis and would indicate the number of the packets that has ingress this port PG but still queued up in egress pipeline. However, there is no direct mapping between the PG and Queue.

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.

If a priority group does not use its allocated bandwidth, the unused bandwidth is made available to other priority groups.
PAGE 279
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.
PAGE 280
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.
PAGE 281
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.
PAGE 282
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.
PAGE 283
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.
PAGE 284
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.
PAGE 285
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.
PAGE 286
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.

The default number of PFC queues in the system is 2 for S4810 and 1 for S6000 platforms.
PAGE 288
Applying a DCB Map in a Switch Stack Apply the same DCB map with PFC and ETS configuration to all stacked ports in a switch stack. You cannot apply different DCB maps to different stacked switches. This functionality is supported on the S6000 platform. To remove all PFC and ETS settings applied to stacked ports from the DCB map and reset PFC and ETS to their default settings, use the no dcb-map stack-unit all command. Task Command Command Mode Apply the specified DCB map on all ports of the switch stack.

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.
PAGE 290
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.
PAGE 291
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.
PAGE 292
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.
PAGE 293
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.
PAGE 294
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.
PAGE 295
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.
PAGE 296
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.
PAGE 297
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.
PAGE 298
• 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.
PAGE 299
• 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.
PAGE 300
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.
PAGE 301
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.
PAGE 302
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.
PAGE 303
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.
PAGE 304
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.
PAGE 305
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.
PAGE 306
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.
PAGE 307
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.
PAGE 308
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.
PAGE 309
Equal Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) 13 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.
PAGE 310
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.
PAGE 311
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.
PAGE 312
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.

FCoE Transit 14 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.
PAGE 316
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.
PAGE 317
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).
PAGE 318
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.
PAGE 319
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.
PAGE 320
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).
PAGE 321
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.
PAGE 322
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.

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.
PAGE 332
When load balancing RRoCE packets using flex hash is enabled, the show ip flow command is disabled. Similarly, when the show ip flow command is in use (ingress port-based load balancing is disabled), the hashing of RRoCE packets is disabled. Flex hash APIs do not mask out unwanted byte values after extraction of the data from the Layer 4 headers for the offset value. 2.

a ToR, leaf and spine unit or configuration setup. An exterior border gateway protocol (EBGP) session exists between the ToR and leaf switch units, and between the leaf and spine units or nodes. Booting Process When Optimized Boot Time Mechanism is Enabled When an S6000 switch running Dell Networking OS earlier than Release 9.3(0.0) is reloaded, the CPU and other components on the board are reset at the same time. Therefore, the control plane and the forwarding plane are impacted immediately.
PAGE 334
9. Traffic from North-South and South-North nodes are of line rate type. 10. Traffic outage for a planned reboot is less than 30 seconds for 4000 routes of IPv4 and IPv6 traffic for all of the following traffic directions. These traffic patterns apply only to the S6000 platforms. • South-North • North-South • East-West • West-East To the south of ToR switch, 96 servers can be linked. Up to 8 Multiprocotol BGP (MP-BGP) sessions to the servers are established.
PAGE 335
because of the peer timing out, traffic disruption occurs from that point onwards, even if the system continues to maintain valid routing information in the hardware and is capable of forwarding traffic. LACP and IPv6 Routing The following IPv6-related actions are performed during the reload phase: • The system saves all the dynamic ND cache entries to a database on the flash card.
PAGE 336
dynamic ARP or ND database entries are not present or required to be restored. The system boot up mode will not be fast boot and actions specific to this mode will not be performed.
PAGE 337
While the above change will ensure that at least one path to each destination gets into the FIB as quickly as possible, it does prevent additional paths from being used even if they are available. This downside has been deemed to be acceptable. RDMA Over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) Overview This functionality is supported on the S6000 platform. Remote direct memory access (RDMA) reduces both CPU cycles and latency. RDMA over converged Ethernet (RoCE) implements IB over Ethernet.
PAGE 338
occurs. You can optimize the booting time of the ToR nodes that experience a single point of failure to reduce the outage in traffic-handling operations. RoCE over a routed system is called RRoCE. RRoCE has IP headers. RRoCE is bursty and uses the entire 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface. Although RRoCE and normal data traffic are propagated in separate network portions, it may be necessary in certain topologies to combine both the RRoCE and the data traffic in a single network structure.
PAGE 339
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.
PAGE 340
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.
PAGE 341
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.
PAGE 342
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.
PAGE 343
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.
PAGE 344
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.

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.
PAGE 351
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.
PAGE 352
• 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.

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.

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.
PAGE 356
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.
PAGE 357
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.
PAGE 358
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.
PAGE 359
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.

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.
PAGE 364
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).

ip igmp snooping last-member-query-interval Fast Convergence after MSTP Topology Changes The following describes the fast convergence feature. When a port transitions to the Forwarding state as a result of an STP or MSTP topology change, 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.

routes. If SSH is specified as a management application, SSH links to and from an unknown destination uses the management default route. 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).
PAGE 370
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.
PAGE 372
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.
PAGE 373
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.

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.

PAGE 383
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.
PAGE 384
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.
PAGE 385
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.
PAGE 386
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.
PAGE 387
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.

To enter INTERFACE mode of the Null interface, use the following command.
PAGE 389
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.
PAGE 390
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.
PAGE 391
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.
PAGE 392
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.

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.

EXEC Privilege mode show tdr gigabitethernet / Splitting QSFP Ports to SFP+ Ports Splitting QSFP ports to SFP+ ports is supported on the S6000 platform. The S6000 platform supports splitting a single 40G QSFP port into four 10G SFP+ ports using one of the supported breakout cables (for a list of supported cables, refer to the Installation Guide or the Release Notes).
PAGE 403
When connected to a QSFP or QSFP+ port on a 40 Gigabit adapter, QSA acts as an interface for the SFP or SFP+ cables. This interface enables you to directly plug in an SFP or SFP+ cable originating at a 10 Gigabit Ethernet port on a switch or server. You can use QSFP optical cables (without a QSA) to split a 40 Gigabit port on a switch or a server into four 10 Gigabit ports. You must enable the fan-out mode in order for this mechanism to work. For more details, see Splitting QSFP Ports to SFP+ Ports.

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.
PAGE 429
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.
PAGE 430
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.
PAGE 431
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.
PAGE 432
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.
PAGE 433
– 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.
PAGE 434
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).
PAGE 436
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.
PAGE 437
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.
PAGE 438
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.
PAGE 439
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.
PAGE 440
• 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.
PAGE 441
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.
PAGE 442
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.
PAGE 443
• 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.
PAGE 444
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.
PAGE 445
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 .
PAGE 446
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.
PAGE 447
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.
PAGE 448
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.

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.
PAGE 452
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.

• 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).
PAGE 456
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.
PAGE 457
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.
PAGE 463
• 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.
PAGE 464
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.
PAGE 465
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.
PAGE 466
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.
PAGE 467
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.
PAGE 468
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.
PAGE 469
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.
PAGE 473
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.
PAGE 474
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.
PAGE 475
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.
PAGE 476
• Accepts external IPv6 information and advertises this information in the PDUs. The following table lists the default IS-IS values. Table 31.
PAGE 477
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.
PAGE 478
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. The IPv6 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. 6. Enable IS-IS on the IPv4 interface.

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. ROUTER ISIS AF IPV6 mode isis ipv6 metric metric-value [level-1 | level-2 | level-1-2] To configure wide or wide transition metric style, the cost can be between 0 and 16,777,215.

Configuring Authentication Passwords You can assign an authentication password for routers in Level 1 and for routers in Level 2. Because Level 1 and Level 2 routers do not communicate with each other, you can assign different passwords for Level 1 routers and for Level 2 routers. However, if you want the routers in the level to communicate with each other, configure them with the same password. To configure a simple text password, use the following commands.

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.
PAGE 499
• 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.
PAGE 500
• 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.

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.
PAGE 504
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.
PAGE 505
• • 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.

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.

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.
PAGE 516
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.

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.
PAGE 518
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.
PAGE 519
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).

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.
PAGE 524

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.

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.
PAGE 552
• 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.
PAGE 553
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).
PAGE 555
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.
PAGE 556
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.

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.

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.

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.
PAGE 580
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.
PAGE 581
• 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.
PAGE 582
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.
PAGE 583
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.
PAGE 584
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.
PAGE 585
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. PROTOCOL MSTP mode max-age seconds The range is from 6 to 40. The default is 20 seconds. 4. Change the max-hops parameter. PROTOCOL MSTP mode max-hops number The range is from 1 to 40.

• 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. The following lists the default values for port cost by interface. Table 48.

• Enable EdgePort on an interface. INTERFACE mode spanning-tree mstp edge-port [bpduguard | shutdown-on-violation] Dell Networking OS Behavior: Regarding bpduguard shutdown-on-violation behavior: – 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.

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.
PAGE 595
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.
PAGE 596
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.
PAGE 597
• 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.

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.
PAGE 606
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.
PAGE 607
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.
PAGE 608
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.
PAGE 609
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.
PAGE 610
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.
PAGE 611
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.
PAGE 612
Dell Networking OS supports stub areas, totally stub (no summary) and not so stubby areas (NSSAs) and supports the following LSAs, as described earlier.
PAGE 613
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.
PAGE 614
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.

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.

Enabling Passive Interfaces A passive interface is one that does not send or receive routing information. Enabling passive interface suppresses routing updates on an interface. Although the passive interface does not send or receive routing updates, the network on that interface is still included in OSPF updates sent via other interfaces. To suppress the interface’s participation on an OSPF interface, use the following command. This command stops the router from sending updates on that interface.

NOTE: The OSPFv2 network area command enables OSPF on multiple interfaces with the single command. Use the OSPFv3 ipv6 ospf area command on each interface that runs OSPFv3. All IPv6 addresses on an interface are included in the OSPFv3 process that is created on the interface. Enable OSPFv3 for IPv6 by specifying an OSPF process ID and an area in INTERFACE mode. If you have not created an OSPFv3 process, it is created automatically.

To ensure integrity, data origin authentication, detection and rejection of replays, and confidentiality of the packet, RFC 4302 and RFC 4303 propose using two security protocols — authentication header (AH) and encapsulating security payload (ESP). For OSPFv3, these two IPsec protocols provide interoperable, high-quality cryptographically-based security.
PAGE 640
• In an OSPFv3 encryption policy: – Both encryption and authentication are used. – IPsec security associations (SAs) are supported only in Transport mode (Tunnel mode is not supported). – ESP with null encryption is supported for authenticating only OSPFv3 protocol headers. – ESP with non-null encryption is supported for full confidentiality. – 3DES, DES, AES-CBC, and NULL encryption algorithms are supported; encrypted and unencrypted keys are supported.

NOTE: When you configure encryption using the area encryption command, you enable both IPsec encryption and authentication. However, when you enable authentication on an area using the area authentication command, you do not enable encryption at the same time. If you have enabled IPsec authentication in an OSPFv3 area using the area authentication command, you cannot use the area encryption command in the area at the same time.

Policy-based Routing (PBR) 32 Policy-based Routing (PBR) allows a switch to make routing decisions based on policies applied to an interface.
PAGE 648
To enable a PBR, you create a redirect list. Redirect lists are defined by rules, or routing policies.
PAGE 649
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.
PAGE 650
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.
PAGE 651

PAGE 652
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.
PAGE 658
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.
PAGE 659

This address is obtained automatically through the bootstrap router (BSR) mechanism or a static RP configuration. Use the following command if you have configured a static RP for a group.
PAGE 663
Creating Multicast Boundaries and Domains A PIM domain is a contiguous set of routers that all implement PIM and are configured to operate within a common boundary defined by PIM multicast border routers (PMBRs). PMBRs connect each PIM domain to the rest of the Internet. Create multicast boundaries and domains by filtering inbound and outbound bootstrap router (BSR) messages per interface. The following command is applied to the subsequent inbound and outbound updates.
PAGE 664
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.
PAGE 665
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.
PAGE 666
• • • 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.

35 Port Monitoring Port monitoring is supported on the S6000 platform. Mirroring is used for monitoring Ingress or Egress or both Ingress and Egress traffic on a specific port(s). This mirrored traffic can be sent to a port where a network sniffer can connect and monitor the traffic.
PAGE 669
Port Monitoring The S6000 supports multiple source-destination statements in a single monitor session. The maximum number of source ports that can be supported in a session is 128. The maximum number of destination ports that can be supported is 4 per port pipe. In the following examples, ports 0/13, 0/14, 0/15, and 0/16 all belong to the same port-pipe. They are pointing to four different destinations (0/1, 0/2, 0/3, and 0/37).

Figure 95. Port Monitoring Example Enabling Flow-Based Monitoring Flow-based monitoring is supported only on the S-Series 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.

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). The reserved VLANs transport the mirrored traffic in sessions (blue pipes) to the destination analyzers in the local network. Two destination sessions are shown: one for the reserved VLAN that transports orange-circle traffic; one for the reserved VLAN that transports green-circle traffic.
PAGE 675
• Mirrored traffic is transported across the network using 802.1Q-in-802.1Q tunneling. The source address, destination address and original VLAN ID of the mirrored packet are preserved with the tagged VLAN header. Untagged source packets are tagged with the reserve VLAN ID. • The RPM VLAN can’t be a Private VLAN. • The RPM VLAN can be used as GVRP VLAN. • The L3 interface configuration should be blocked for RPM VLAN.

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. You cannot configure a source port channel or source VLAN in a source session if the port channel or VLAN has a member port that is configured as a destination port in a remote-port mirroring session.

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.

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.

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.
PAGE 690
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.
PAGE 691
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.

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.

But when queue 1 gets congested on switch B, PFC frames for tagged packets will not be generated as PFC is not enabled on dot1p priority 5. Support for marking dot1p value in L3 Input Qos Policy In case the incoming packet is untagged and the packet which goes out to the peer is tagged, then the dot1p should be marked appropriately using L3 Input Qos Policy. This is required because in the peer switch PFC will be generated based on the dot1p value.

WRED profile to a policy-map so that specified traffic can be prevented from consuming too much of the BTM resources. WRED uses a profile to specify minimum and maximum threshold values. The minimum threshold is the allotted buffer space for specified traffic, for example, 1000KB on egress. If the 1000KB is consumed, packets are dropped randomly at an exponential rate until the maximum threshold is reached (as shown in the following illustration); this procedure is the “early detection” part of WRED.
PAGE 716
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. Dell Networking OS assigns a color (also called drop precedence) — red, yellow, or green — to each packet based on it DSCP value before queuing it. DSCP is a 6–bit field. Dell Networking uses the first three bits (LSB) of this field (DP) to determine the drop precedence. • DP values of 110 and 100, 101 map to yellow; all other values map to green.

Committed rate refers to the guaranteed bandwidth for traffic entering or leaving the interface under normal network conditions. When traffic propagates at an average rate that is less than or equal to the committed rate, it is considered to be green-colored or coded. When the transmitted traffic falls below the committed rate, the bandwidth, which is not used by any traffic that is traversing the network, is aggregated to form the committed burst size.

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).
PAGE 730
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.
PAGE 731
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.

PAGE 736
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.

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.
PAGE 744
the sampled data — the new master RPM provides the same sampled data as did the old master — as 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.
PAGE 745
Example of the rmon alarm Command To disable the alarm, use the no form of the command. 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).

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.
PAGE 748
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.

PAGE 752
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.
PAGE 753
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.

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.

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.
PAGE 776
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.
PAGE 780
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.
PAGE 784
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.
PAGE 785
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.
PAGE 786
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.

PAGE 789
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).
PAGE 790
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.

In the following example, R1 has one dynamic MAC address, learned off of port TeGigabitEthernet 1/21, which a member of the default VLAN, VLAN 1. The SNMP walk returns the values for dot1dTpFdbAddress, dot1dTpFdbPort, and dot1dTpFdbStatus. Each object is comprised of an OID concatenated with an instance number. In the case of these objects, the instance number is the decimal equivalent of the MAC address; derive the instance number by converting each hex pair to its decimal equivalent.
PAGE 804
Deriving Interface Indices Dell Networking OS assigns an interface number to each (configured or unconfigured) physical and logical interface. The interface index is a binary number with bits that indicate the slot number, port number, interface type, and card type of the interface. Dell Networking OS converts this binary index number to decimal, and displays it in the output of the show interface command.

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.
PAGE 808
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.
PAGE 809
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.
PAGE 810
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.
PAGE 811

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.
PAGE 812
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.
PAGE 813
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.
PAGE 814
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.
PAGE 815
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.
PAGE 816
• 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.

Root Bridge hello time 2, max age 20, forward delay 15 Dell# STP Root Guard STP root guard is supported on the platform. Use the STP root guard feature in a Layer 2 network to avoid bridging loops. In STP, the switch in the network with the lowest priority (as determined by STP or set with the bridge-priority command) is selected as the root bridge. If two switches have the same priority, the switch with the lower MAC address is selected as the root.
PAGE 819
Figure 114. STP Root Guard Prevents Bridging Loops Configuring Root Guard Enable STP root guard on a per-port or per-port-channel basis. Dell Networking OS Behavior: The following conditions apply to a port enabled with STP root guard: • Root guard is supported on any STP-enabled port or port-channel interface except when used as a stacking port.
PAGE 820
• 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.
PAGE 821
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.
PAGE 822
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.
PAGE 823
• 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.

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.

PAGE 837
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.
PAGE 838
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.
PAGE 839
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.
PAGE 842
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.
PAGE 843
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).
PAGE 844
• 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.
PAGE 845
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.
PAGE 846
INTERFACE mode untagged interface This command is available only in VLAN interfaces. Move an Untagged Interface to Another VLAN The no untagged interface command removes the untagged interface from a port-based VLAN and places the interface in the Default VLAN. You cannot use the no untagged interface command in the Default VLAN. The following example shows the steps and commands to move an untagged interface from the Default VLAN to another VLAN. To determine interface status, use the show vlan command.
PAGE 847
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. The shutdown command in INTERFACE mode does not affect Layer 2 traffic on the interface; the shutdown command only prevents Layer 3 traffic from traversing over the interface. NOTE: You cannot assign an IP address to the Default VLAN (VLAN 1).

PAGE 849
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.
PAGE 850
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.
PAGE 851
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.
PAGE 852
• 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.
PAGE 853
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.
PAGE 854
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.

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.
PAGE 857
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.
PAGE 858
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.
PAGE 859
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.
PAGE 860
• 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.
PAGE 861
– 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.
PAGE 862
– 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.
PAGE 863
– 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.
PAGE 864
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.
PAGE 865
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.
PAGE 866
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.
PAGE 867
(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.
PAGE 868
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.
PAGE 869
• 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.
PAGE 870
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.
PAGE 871
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.

PAGE 875
Configure a different unit ID (0 or 1) on each peer switch. Unit IDs are used for internal system operations. Use this command to minimize the time required for the VLT system to determine the unit ID assigned to each peer switch when one peer switch reboots. 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.
PAGE 876
To configure the VLAN where a VLT peer forwards received packets over the VLTi from an adjacent VLT peer that is down, use the peer-down-vlan parameter. When a VLT peer with BMP reboots, untagged DHCP discover packets are sent to the peer over the VLTi. Using this configuration ensures the DHCP discover packets are forwarded to the VLAN that has the DHCP server. Configuring a VLT VLAN Peer-Down (Optional) To configure a VLT VLAN peer-down, use the following commands. 1.

PAGE 894
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.
PAGE 895
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.
PAGE 896
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.

For example, if VLAN 100 and 200 are configured on the VLT peers, and if the VLAN 100 IP address is configured as 10.1.1.0/24 and the VLAN 200 IP address is configured as 20.1.1.0/24, the proxy ARP is not performed if the VLT node receives an ARP request for 20.1.1.0/24 on VLAN 100.
PAGE 902
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.

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.
PAGE 914
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.
PAGE 915
Dell Networking OS uses both the VRF name and VRF ID to manage VRF instances. The VRF name and VRF ID number are assigned using the ip vrf command. The VRF ID is displayed in show ip vrf command output. The VRF ID is not exchanged between routers. VRF IDs are local to a router. VRF supports some routing protocols only on the default VRF (default-vrf) instance. Table 1 displays the software features supported in VRF and whether they are supported on all VRF instances or only the default VRF. Table 74.

PAGE 918
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. NOTE: You can configure an IP address or subnet on a physical or VLAN interface that overlaps the same IP address or subnet configured on another interface only if the interfaces are assigned to different VRFs. If two interfaces are assigned to the same VRF, you cannot configure overlapping IP subnets or the same IP address on them.

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.
PAGE 929
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.
PAGE 930
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.

Dell(conf-if-gi-1/1)#show conf ! interface GigabitEthernet 1/1 ip address 10.10.10.
PAGE 932
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.

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.

PAGE 934
When the VRRP process completes its initialization, the State field contains either Master or Backup. Setting VRRP Group (Virtual Router) Priority Setting a virtual router priority to 255 ensures that router is the “owner” virtual router for the VRRP group. VRRP elects the MASTER router by choosing the router with the highest priority. The default priority for a virtual router is 100. The higher the number, the higher the priority.
PAGE 935
NOTE: You must configure all virtual routers in the VRRP group the same: you must enable authentication with the same password or authentication is disabled. To configure simple authentication, use the following command. • Configure a simple text password. INTERFACE-VRID mode authentication-type simple [encryption-type] password Parameters: – encryption-type: 0 indicates unencrypted; 7 indicates encrypted. – password: plain text.

– 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).

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. You can configure the delay for up to 15 minutes, after which VRRP enables normally.
PAGE 941
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.
PAGE 942
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.
PAGE 943
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.
PAGE 944
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.

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.
PAGE 951
NOTE: The system reboots when the offline diagnostics complete. This is an automatic process. The following warning message appears when you implement the offline stackunit command: Warning - Diagnostic execution will cause stack-unit to reboot after completion of diags. Proceed with Offline-Diags [confirm yes/no]:y After the system goes offline, you must reload or execute the online stack-unit command for the normal operation. 2. Confirm the offline status.

Configuring 104 10GbE Ports on the S6000 Platform The capability to configure up to 104 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports is supported on the S6000 platform. Starting with Dell Networking OS version 9.4(0.0), you can configure a maximum of 104 10G ports on an S6000 switch. The network processing unit (NPU) in an S6000 Switch contains two port pipes X and Y, with each pipe supporting a maximum of 52 ports. Therefore, S6000 can support a maximum of 104 ports .
PAGE 956
• You can configure a disabled port as a fanout port when the maximum limit is not exceeded. This behavior reduces the number of reloads required to configure a disabled port in Quad mode to Nonquad mode. • When you configure 13 ports as fanout, a warning message is displayed stating that the maximum number of ports that you can configure in Quad mode has been reached. The extra ports are disabled the next time you reload the system.
PAGE 957
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. Therefore, increased fanout configuration on ports is not backward-compatible. If you want to perform a downgrade from Release 9.3(0.0) to 9.0(2.0), Dell Networking recommends removing the fanout configuration on the ports that were previously not enabled for fanout.

Physical memory is organized into cells of 128 bytes. The cells are organized into two buffer pools — the dedicated buffer and the dynamic buffer. • Dedicated buffer — this pool is reserved memory that other interfaces cannot use on the same ASIC or by other queues on the same interface. This buffer is always allocated, and no dynamic re-carving takes place based on changes in interface status. Dedicated buffers introduce a trade-off.
PAGE 963
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. • Increase the dynamic buffer on all interfaces.

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.
