IP Routing Protocols Commands


Cisco's implementation of the Internet Protocol (IP) suite provides all major services contained in the TCP/IP specifications.

Use the commands in this chapter to configure and monitor the IP routing protocols. For IP routing protocol configuration information and examples, refer to the "Configuring IP Routing Protocols" chapter of the Router Products Configuration Guide.

aggregate-address

To create an aggregate entry in a BGP routing table, use the aggregate-address router configuration command. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

aggregate-address address mask [as-set] [summary-only] [suppress-map map-name]
[
advertise-map map-name] [attribute-map map-name]
no aggregate-address address mask [as-set] [summary-only] [suppress-map map-name]
[
advertise-map map-name] [attribute-map map-name]

Syntax Description

address

Aggregate address.

mask

Aggregate mask.

as-set

(Optional) Generates autonomous system set path information.

summary-only

(Optional) Filters all more specific routes from updates.

suppress-map map-name

(Optional) Name of route map used to select the routes to be suppressed.

advertise-map map-name

(Optional) Name of route map used to select the routes to create AS-SET origin communities.

attribute-map map-name

(Optional) Name of route map used to set the attribute of the aggregate route.


Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

You can implement aggregate routing in BGP either by redistributing an aggregate route into BGP or by using this conditional aggregate routing feature.

Using the aggregate-address command with no arguments will create an aggregate entry in the BGP routing table if there are any more-specific BGP routes available that fall in the specified range. The aggregate route will be advertised as coming from your autonomous system and has the atomic aggregate attribute set to show that information might be missing. (By default, the atomic aggregate attribute is set unless you specify the as-set keyword.)

Using the as-set keyword creates an aggregate entry using the same rules that the command follows without this keyword, but the path advertised for this route will be an AS_SET consisting of all elements contained in all paths that are being summarized. Do not use this form of aggregate-address when aggregating many paths, because this route must be continually withdrawn and re-updated as autonomous system path reachability information for the summarized routes changes.

Using the summary-only keyword not only creates the aggregate route (for example, 193.*.*.*) but will also suppress advertisements of more specific routes to all neighbors. If you only want to suppress advertisements to certain neighbors, you may use the neighbor distribute-list command, with caution. If a more specific route leaks out, all BGP speakers will prefer that route over the less specific aggregate you are generating (using longest-match routing).

Using the suppress-map keyword creates the aggregate route but suppresses advertisement of specified routes. You can use the match clauses of route maps to selectively suppress some more specific routes of the aggregate and leave others unsuppressed. IP access lists and autonomous system path access lists match clauses are supported.

Example

In the following example, an aggregate address is created. The path advertised for this route will be an AS_SET consisting of all elements contained in all paths that are being summarized.

router bgp 5
aggregate-address 193.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 as-set

Related Commands

match as-path
match ip address
route-map

area authentication

To enable authentication for an OSPF area, use the area authentication router configuration command. To remove an area's authentication specification or a specified area from the router's configuration, use the no form of this command.

area area-id authentication [message-digest]
no area area-id authentication
no area area-id

Syntax Description

area-id

Identifier of the area for which authentication is to be enabled. The identifier can be specified as either a decimal value or an IP address.

message-digest

(Optional) Enables MD5 authentication on the area specified by area-id.


Default

Type 0 authentication (no authentication)

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

Specifying authentication for an area sets the authentication to Type 1 (simple password) as specified in RFC 1247. If this command is not included in the configuration file, authentication of Type 0 (no authentication) is assumed.

The authentication type must be the same for all routers in an area. The authentication password for all OSPF routers on a network must be the same if they are to communicate with each other via OSPF. Use the ip ospf authentication-key command to specify this password.

If you enable MD5 authentication with the message-digest keyword, you must configure a password with the ip ospf message-digest-key command.

To remove the area's authentication specification, use the no form of this command with the authentication keyword. To remove the specified area from the router's configuration, use the command no area area-id (with no other keywords).

Example

The following example mandates authentication for areas 0 and 36.0.0.0 of OSPF routing process 201. Authentication keys are also provided.

interface ethernet 0
ip address 131.119.251.201 255.255.255.0
ip ospf authentication-key adcdefgh
!
interface ethernet 1
ip address 36.56.0.201 255.255.0.0
ip ospf authentication-key ijklmnop
!
router ospf 201
network 36.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 area 36.0.0.0
network 131.119.0.0 0.0.255.255 area 0
area 36.0.0.0 authentication
area 0 authentication

Related Commands

area default-cost
area stub
ip ospf authentication-key
ip ospf message-digest-key

area default-cost

To specify a cost for the default summary route sent into a stub area, use the area default-cost router configuration command. To remove the assigned default route cost, use the no form of this command.

area area-id default-cost cost
no area area-id default-cost cost

Syntax Description

area-id

Identifier for the stub area. The identifier can be specified as either a decimal value or as an IP address.

cost

Cost for the default summary route used for a stub area. The acceptable value is a 24-bit number.


Default

Cost of 1

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command is used only on an area border router attached to a stub area.

There are two stub area router configuration commands: the stub and default-cost options of the area command. In all routers attached to the stub area, the area should be configured as a stub area using the stub option of the area command. Use the default-cost option only on an area border router attached to the stub area. The default-cost option provides the metric for the summary default route generated by the area border router into the stub area.

Example

The following example assigns a default-cost of 20 to stub network 36.0.0.0:

interface ethernet 0
ip address 36.56.0.201 255.255.0.0
!
router ospf 201
network 36.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 area 36.0.0.0
area 36.0.0.0 stub
area 36.0.0.0 default-cost 20

Related Commands

area authentication
area stub

area-password

To configure the IS-IS area authentication password, use the area-password router configuration command. To disable the password, use the no form of this command.

area-password password
no area-password [password]

Syntax Description

password

Password you assign.


Default

No area password is defined.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

This password is inserted in Level 1 (station router level) link state PDUs (LSPs), complete sequence number PDUs (CSNPs), and partial sequence number PDUs (PSNP).

Example

The following example assigns an area authentication password:

router isis
area-password angel

Related Command

domain-password

area range

To consolidate and summarize routes at an area boundary, use the area range router configuration command. To disable this function, use the no form of this command.

area area-id range address mask
no area area-id range address mask

Syntax Description

area-id

Identifier of the area about which routes are to be summarized. It can be specified as either a decimal value or as an IP address.

address

IP address.

mask

IP mask.


Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

The area range command is used only with area border routers. It is used to consolidate or summarize routes for an area. The result is that a single summary route is advertised to other areas by the area border router. Routing information is condensed at area boundaries. External to the area, a single route is advertised for each address range. This is called route summarization.

Multiple area router configuration commands specifying the range option can be configured. Thus, OSPF can summarize addresses for many different sets of address ranges.

Example

The following example specifies one summary route to be advertised by the area border router to other areas for all subnets on network 36.0.0.0 and for all hosts on network 192.42.110.0:

interface ethernet 0
ip address 192.42.110.201 255.255.255.0
!
interface ethernet 1
ip address 36.56.0.201 255.255.0.0
!
router ospf 201
network 36.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 area 36.0.0.0
network 192.42.110.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
area 36.0.0.0 range 36.0.0.0 255.0.0.0
area 0 range 192.42.110.0 255.255.255.0

area stub

To define an area as a stub area, use the area stub router configuration command. To disable this function, use the no form of this command.

area area-id stub [no-summary]
no area area-id stub

Syntax Description

area-id

Identifier for the stub area. The identifier can be either a decimal value or an IP address.

no-summary

(Optional) Prevents an Area Border Router from sending summary link advertisements into the stub area.


Default

No stub area is defined.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

You must configure the area stub command on all routers in the stub area. Use the area router configuration command with the default-cost option to specify the cost of a default internal router sent into a stub area by an area border router.

There are two stub area router configuration commands: the stub and default-cost options of the area router configuration command. In all routers attached to the stub area, the area should be configured as a stub area using the stub option of the area command. Use the default-cost option only on an area border router attached to the stub area. The default-cost option provides the metric for the summary default route generated by the area border router into the stub area.

To further reduce the number of link state advertisements (LSA) sent into a stub area, you can configure no-summary on the Area Border Router (ABR) to prevent it from sending summary link advertisement (LSA type 3) into the stub area.

Example

The following example assigns a default cost of 20 to stub network 36.0.0.0:

interface ethernet 0
ip address 36.56.0.201 255.255.0.0
!
router ospf 201
network 36.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 area 36.0.0.0
area 36.0.0.0 stub
area 36.0.0.0 default-cost 20

Related Commands

area authentication
area default-cost

area virtual-link

To define an OSPF virtual link, use the area virtual-link router configuration command with the optional parameters. To remove a virtual link, use the no form of this command.

area area-id virtual-link router-id [hello-interval seconds] [retransmit-interval seconds]
[
transmit-delay seconds] [dead-interval seconds] [[authentication-key key] |
[
message-digest-key keyid md5 key]]
no area area-id virtual-link router-id [hello-interval seconds] [retransmit-interval seconds]
[
transmit-delay seconds] [dead-interval seconds] [[authentication-key key] |
[
message-digest-key keyid md5 key]]

Syntax Description

area-id

Area ID assigned to the transit area for the virtual link. This can be either a decimal value or a valid IP address. There is no default.

router-id

Router ID associated with the virtual link neighbor. The router ID appears in the show ip ospf display. It is internally derived by each router from the router's interface IP addresses. This value must be entered in the format of an IP address. There is no default.

hello-interval seconds

(Optional) Time in seconds between the Hello packets that the router sends on an interface. Unsigned integer value to be advertised in the router's Hello packets. The value must be the same for all routers attached to a common network. The default is 10 seconds.

retransmit-interval seconds

(Optional) Time in seconds between link state advertisement retransmissions for adjacencies belonging to the interface. Expected round-trip delay between any two routers on the attached network. The value must be greater than the expected round-trip delay. The default is 5 seconds.

transmit-delay seconds

(Optional) Estimated time in seconds it takes to transmit a link state update packet on the interface. Integer value that must be greater than zero. Link state advertisements in the update packet have their age incremented by this amount before transmission. The default value is 1 second.

dead-interval seconds

(Optional) Time in seconds that a router's Hello packets are not seen before its neighbors declare the router down. Unsigned integer value. The default is four times the Hello interval, or 40 seconds. As with the Hello interval, this value must be the same for all routers attached to a common network.

authentication-key key

(Optional) Password to be used by neighboring routers. Any continuous string of characters that you can enter from the keyboard up to 8 bytes long. This string acts as a key that will allow the authentication procedure to generate or verify the authentication field in the OSPF header. This key is inserted directly into the OSPF header when originating routing protocol packets. A separate password can be assigned to each network on a per-interface basis. All neighboring routers on the same network must have the same password to be able to route OSPF traffic. The password is encrypted in the configuration file if the service password-encryption command is enabled. There is no default value.

message-digest-key keyid md5 key

(Optional) Key identifier and password to be used by neighboring routers and this router for MD5 authentication. The keyid is a number in the range 1 through 255. The key is an alphanumeric string of up to 16 characters. All neighboring routers on the same network must have the same key identifier and key to be able to route OSPF traffic. There is no default value.


Default

area-id: No area ID is predefined.
router-id: No router ID is predefined.
hello-interval seconds: 10 seconds
retransmit-interval seconds: 10 seconds
transmit-delay seconds: 1 second
dead-interval seconds: 40 seconds
authentication-key key: No key is predefined.
message-digest-key keyid md5 key: No key is predefined.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

In OSPF, all areas must be connected to a backbone area. If the connection to the backbone is lost, it can be repaired by establishing a virtual link.

The smaller the Hello interval, the faster topological changes will be detected, but more routing traffic will ensue.

The setting of the retransmit interval should be conservative, or needless retransmissions will result. The value should be larger for serial lines and virtual links.

The transmit delay value should take into account the transmission and propagation delays for the interface.

A router will use the specified authentication key only when authentication is enabled for the backbone with the area area-id authentication router configuration command.

The two authentication schemes, simple text and MD5 authentication, are mutually exclusive. You can specify one or the other or neither. Any keywords and arguments you specify after authentication-key key or message-digest-key keyid md5 key are ignored. Therefore, specify any optional arguments before such a keyword-argument combination.


Note   Each virtual link neighbor must include the transit area ID and the corresponding virtual link neighbor's router ID in order for a virtual link to be properly configured. Use the show ip ospf EXEC command to see the router ID of a router.


Examples

The following example establishes a virtual link with default values for all optional parameters:

router ospf 201
network 36.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 area 36.0.0.0
area 36.0.0.0 virtual-link 36.3.4.5

The following example establishes a virtual link with MD5 authentication:

router ospf 201
network 36.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 area 36.0.0.0
area 36.0.0.0 virtual-link 36.3.4.5 message-digest-key 3 md5 sa5721bk47

autonomous-system (EGP)

To specify the local autonomous system that the router resides in for EGP, use the autonomous-system global configuration command. To remove the autonomous system number, use the no form of this command.

autonomous-system local-as
no autonomous-system local-as

Syntax Description

local-as

Local autonomous system number to which the router belongs.


Default

No local autonomous system is specified.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

Before you can set up EGP routing, you must specify an autonomous system number. The local autonomous system number will be included in EGP messages sent by the router.

Example

The following sample configuration specifies an autonomous system number of 110:

autonomous-system 110

Related Command

router egp

auto-summary

To restore the default behavior of automatic summarization of subnet routes into network-level routes, use the auto-summary router configuration command. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

auto-summary
no auto-summary

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Enabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

By default, BGP does not accept subnets redistributed from IGP. To advertise and carry subnet routes in BGP, use an explicit network command or the no auto-summary command. If you disable auto-summarization and have not entered a network command, you will not advertise network routes for networks with subnet routes unless they contain a summary route.

IP Enhanced IGRP summary routes are given an administrative distance value of 5. You cannot configure this value.

Examples

In the following example, network numbers are not summarized automatically:

router bgp 6
no auto-summary

The following example disables automatic summarization for router process eigrp 109:

router eigrp 109
no auto-summary

Related Command

ip summary-address eigrp

bgp always-compare-med

To allow the comparison of the Multi Exit Discriminator (MED) for paths from neighbors in different autonomous systems, use the bgp always-compare-med router configuration command. To disallow the comparison, use the no form of this command.

bgp always-compare-med
no bgp always-compare-med

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

The router does not compare MEDs for paths from neighbors in different autonomous systems.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

The MED is one of the parameters that is considered when selecting the best path among many alternative paths. The path with a lower MED is preferred over a path with a higher MED.

By default, during the best path selection process, MED comparision is done only among paths from the same autonomous system. This command changes the default behavior by allowing comparision of MEDs among paths regardless of the autonomous system from which the paths are received.

Example

In the following example, the BGP speaker in autonomous system 100 is configured to compare MEDs among alternative paths, regardless of the autonomous system from which the paths are received:

router bgp 109
bgp always-compare-med

bgp confederation identifier

To specify a BGP confederation identifier, use the bgp confederation identifier router configuration command. To remove the confederation identifier, use the no form of this command.

bgp confederation identifier autonomous-system
no bgp confederation identifier autonomous-system

Syntax Description

autonomous-system

Autonomous system number that internally includes multiple autonomous systems.


Default

No confederation identifier is configured.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

Another way to reduce the IBGP mesh is to divide an autonomous system into multiple autonomous systems and group them into a single confederation. Each autonomous system is fully meshed within itself, and has a few connections to another autonomous system in the same confederation. Even though the peers in different autonomous systems have EBGP sessions, they exchange routing information as if they are IBGP peers. Specifically, the next-hop and local preference information is preserved. This enables to you to retain a single Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) for all of the autonomous systems. To the outside world, the confederation looks like a single autonomous system.

Example

In the following example, the autonomous system is divided into autonomous systems 4001, 4002, 4003, 4004, 4005, 4006, and 4007 and identified by the confederation identifier 5. Neighbor 1.2.3.4 is someone inside your routing domain confederation. Neighbor 3.4.5.6 is someone outside your routing domain confederation. To the outside world, there appears to be a single autonomous system with the number 5.

router bgp 4001
bgp confederation identifier 5
bgp confederation peers 4002 4003 4004 4005 4006 4007
neighbor 1.2.3.4 remote-as 4002
neighbor 3.4.5.6 remote-as 510

Related Command

bgp confederation peers

bgp confederation peers

To configure the autonomous systems that belong to the confederation, use the bgp confederation peers router configuration command. To remove an autonomous system from the confederation, use the no form of this command.

bgp confederation peers autonomous-system [autonomous-system]
no bgp confederation peers autonomous-system [autonomous-system]

Syntax Description

autonomous-system

Autonomous system number.


Default

No confederation peers are configured.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

The autonomous systems specified in this command are visible internally to a confederation. Each autonomous system is fully meshed within itself. The bgp confederation identifier command specifies the confederation that the autonomous systems belong to.

Example

The following example specifies that autonomous systems 1090, 1091, 1092, and 1093 belong to a single confederation:

router bgp 1090
bgp confederation peers 1091 1092 1093

Related Command

bgp confederation identifier

bgp default local-preference

To change the default local preference value, use the bgp default local-preference router configuration command. To return to the default setting, use the no form of this command.

bgp default local-preference value
no bgp default local-preference value

Syntax Description

value

Local preference value. Higher is more preferred. Integer from 0 through 4294967295.


Default

Local preference value of 100

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

Generally, the default value of 100 allows you to easily define a particular path as less preferable than paths with no local preference attribute. The preference is sent to all routers in the local autonomous system.

Example

In the following example, the default local preference value is raised from the default of 100 to 200:

router bgp 200
bgp default local-preference 200

Related Command

set local-preference

bgp fast-external-fallover

To immediately reset the BGP sessions of any directly adjacent external peers if the link used to reach them goes down, use the bgp fast-external-fallover router configuration command. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

bgp fast-external-fallover
no bgp fast-external-fallover

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Enabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Example

In the following example, the automatic resetting of BGP sessions is disabled:

router bgp 109
no bgp fast-external-fallover

bgp log-neighbor-changes

To enable logging of BGP neighbor resets, use the bgp log-neighbor-changes router configuration command. To disable the logging of changes in BGP neighbor adjacencies, use the no form of this command.

bgp log-neighbor-changes
no bgp log-neighbor-changes

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

No BGP neighbor changes are logged.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

The bgp log-neighbor-changes command enables logging of BGP neighbor status changes (up or down) and resets for troubleshooting network connectivity problems and measuring network stability. Unexpected neighbor resets might indicate high error rates or high packet loss in the network and should be investigated.

Using the bgp log-neighbo-changes command to enable status change message logging does not create a significant performance hit, unlike, for example, enabling per BGP update debugging. If the UNIX syslog facility is enabled, messages are sent to the UNIX host running the syslog daemon so that the messages can be stored and archived. If the UNIX syslog facility is not enabled, the status change messages are retained in the router's internal buffer, and are not stored to disk. You can set the size of this buffer, which is dependent upon the available RAM, using the logging buffered command.

The neighbor status change messages are not tracked if bgp log-neighbor changes is not enabled, except for the reset reason, which is always available as output of the show ip bgp neighbor command.

The log messages display the following reasons for changes in a neighbor's status:

BGP protocol initialization

No memory for path entry

No memory for attribute entry

default-information allowed

To control the candidate default routing information between IGRP or Enhanced IGRP processes, use the default-information allowed router configuration command. To suppress IGRP or Enhanced IGRP candidate information in incoming updates, use the no default-information allowed in command. To suppress IGRP or Enhanced IGRP candidate information in outbound updates, use the no default-information allowed out command.

default-information allowed {in | out} [route-map map-tag]
no default-information allowed {in | out} [route-map map-tag]

Syntax Description

in

Allows IGRP or Enhanced IGRP exterior or default routes to be received by an IGRP process.

out

Allows IGRP or Enhanced IGRP exterior routes to be advertised in updates.

route-map map-tag

(Optional) Indicates that the route map should be interrogated to filter the importation of routes from this source routing protocol to the current routing protocol. The argument map-tag is the identifier of a configured route map. If you specify route-map without specifying map-tag, no routes are imported. If you omit route-map, all routes are redistributed.


Default

Normally, exterior routes are always accepted and default information is passed between IGRP or Enhanced IGRP processes when doing redistribution.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

The default network of 0.0.0.0 used by RIP cannot be redistributed by IGRP or Enhanced IGRP.

Example

The following example allows IGRP exterior or default routes to be received by the IGRP process in autonomous system 23:

router igrp 23
default-information allowed in

default-information originate (BGP)

To allow the redistribution of network 0.0.0.0 into BGP, use the default-information originate router configuration command. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

default-information originate
no default-information originate

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

The same functionality will result from the network 0.0.0.0 command, using the network router configuration command.

Example

The following example configures BGP to redistribute network 0.0.0.0 into BGP:

router bgp 164
default-information originate

default-information originate (EGP)

To explicitly configure EGP to generate a default route, use the default-information originate router configuration command. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

default-information originate
no default-information originate

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

Because EGP can use network 0.0.0.0 as a default route, EGP must be explicitly configured to generate a default route. If the next hop for the default route can be advertised as a third party, it will be included as a third party.

Example

The following example configures EGP to generate a default route:

autonomous system 109
router egp 164
network 131.108.0.0
network 192.31.7.0
neighbor 10.2.0.2
default-information originate

default-information originate (IS-IS)

To generate a default route into an IS-IS routing domain, use the default-information originate router configuration command. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

default-information originate [route-map map-name]
no default-information originate [route-map map-name]

Syntax Description

route-map map-name

(Optional) Routing process will generate the default route if the route map is satisfied.


Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

If a router configured with this command has a route to 0.0.0.0 in the routing table, IS-IS will originate an advertisement for 0.0.0.0 in its LSPs.

Example

In the following configuration, the router is forced to generate a default external route into an IS-IS domain:

router isis
! BGP routes will be distributed into IS-IS
redistribute bgp 120
! access list 2 is applied to outgoing routing updates
distribute-list 2 out
default-information originate
! access list 2 defined as giving access to network 100.105.0.0 
access-list 2 permit 100.105.0.0 0.0.255.255

Related Commands

default-information originate (OSPF)

To generate a default route into an OSPF routing domain, use the default-information originate router configuration command. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

default-information originate [always] [metric metric-value] [metric-type type-value]
{
level-1 | level-1-2 | level-2} [route-map map-name]
no default-information originate [always] [metric metric-value] [metric-type type-value]
{level-1 | level-1-2 | level-2} [route-map map-name]

Syntax Description

originate

Causes the router to generate a default external route into an OSPF domain if the router already has a default route and you want to propagate to other routers.

always

(Optional) Always advertises the default route regardless of whether the router has a default route.

metric metric-value

(Optional) Metric used for generating the default route. If you omit a value and do not specify a value using the default-metric router configuration command, the default metric value is 1. The value used is specific to the protocol.

metric-type type-value

(Optional) External link type associated with the default route advertised into the OSPF routing domain. It can be one of the following values:

1—Type 1 external route

2—Type 2 external route

The default is Type 2 external route.

level-1

Level 1 routes are redistributed into other IP routing protocols independently. It specifies if IS-IS advertises network 0.0.0.0 into the Level 1 area.

level-1-2

Both Level 1 and Level 2 routes are redistributed into other IP routing protocols. It specifies if IS-IS advertises network 0.0.0.0 into both levels in a single command.

level-2

Level 2 routes are redistributed into other IP routing protocols independently. It specifies if IS-IS advertises network 0.0.0.0 into the Level 2 subdomain.

route-map map-name

(Optional) Routing process will generate the default route if the route-map is satisfied.


Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

Whenever you use the redistribute or the default-information router configuration commands to redistribute routes into an OSPF routing domain, the router automatically becomes an autonomous system boundary router. However, an autonomous system boundary router does not, by default, generate a default route into the OSPF routing domain. The router still needs to have a default route for itself before it generates one, except when you have specified the always keyword.

When you use this command for the OSPF process, the default network must reside in the routing table and you must satisfy the route-map map-name keyword. Use the default-information originate always route-map map-name form of the command when you do not want the dependency on the default network in the routing table.

Example

The following example specifies a metric of 100 for the default route redistributed into the OSPF routing domain and an external metric type of Type 1:

router ospf 109
redistribute igrp 108 metric 100 subnets
default-information originate metric 100 metric-type 1

Related Command

redistribute

default-metric (BGP, EGP, OSPF, and RIP)

To set default metric values for the BGP, EGP, OSPF, and RIP routing protocols, use this form of the default-metric router configuration command. To return to the default state, use the no form of this command.

default-metric number
no default-metric

Syntax Description

number

Default metric value appropriate for the specified routing protocol.


Default

Built-in, automatic metric translations, as appropriate for each routing protocol

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

The default-metric command is used in conjunction with the redistribute router configuration command to cause the current routing protocol to use the same metric value for all redistributed routes. A default metric helps solve the problem of redistributing routes with incompatible metrics. Whenever metrics do not convert, using a default metric provides a reasonable substitute and enables the redistribution to proceed.

In BGP, this sets the multiple exit discriminator (MED) metric. (The name of this metric for BGP Versions 2 and 3 is INTER_AS.)

Example

The following example shows a router in autonomous system 109 using both the RIP and the OSPF routing protocols. The example advertises OSPF-derived routes using the RIP protocol and assigns the OSPF-derived routes a RIP metric of 10.

router rip
default-metric 10
redistribute ospf 109

Related Command

redistribute

default-metric (IGRP and Enhanced IGRP only)

To set metrics for IGRP or Enhanced IGRP, use this form of the default-metric router configuration command. To remove the metric value and restore the default state, use the no form of this command.

default-metric bandwidth delay reliability loading mtu
no default-metric bandwidth delay reliability loading mtu

Syntax Description

bandwidth

Minimum bandwidth of the route in kilobits per second. It can be 0 or any positive integer.

delay

Route delay in tens of microseconds. It can be 0 or any positive number that is a multiple of 39.1 nanoseconds.

reliability

Likelihood of successful packet transmission expressed as a number between 0 and 255. The value 255 means 100 percent reliability; 0 means no reliability.

loading

Effective bandwidth of the route expressed as a number from 0 to 255 (255 is 100 percent loading).

mtu

Minimum maximum transmission unit (MTU) size of the route in bytes. It can be 0 or any positive integer.


Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

Metric defaults have been carefully set to work for a wide variety of networks. Take great care in changing these values.

Keeping the same metrics is supported only when redistributing from IGRP, Enhanced IGRP, or static routes.

Example

The following example takes redistributed RIP metrics and translates them into IGRP metrics with values as follows: bandwidth = 1000, delay = 100, reliability = 250, loading = 100, and mtu =1500.

router igrp 109
network 131.108.0.0
redistribute rip
default-metric 1000 100 250 100 1500

Related Command

distance

To define an administrative distance, use the distance router configuration command. To remove a distance definition, use the no form of this command.

distance weight [address mask [access-list-number]] [ip]
no distance weight [address mask [access-list-number]] [ip]

Syntax Description

weight

Administrative distance. This can be an integer from 10 to 255. (The values 0 through 9 are reserved for internal use.) Used alone, the argument weight specifies a default administrative distance that the router uses when no other specification exists for a routing information source. Routes with a distance of 255 are not installed in the routing table.

address

(Optional) IP address in four-part dotted notation.

mask

(Optional) IP address mask in four-part dotted-decimal format. A bit set to 1 in the mask argument instructs the router to ignore the corresponding bit in the address value.

access-list-number

(Optional) Number of a standard IP access list to be applied to incoming routing updates.

ip

(Optional) IP-derived routes for IS-IS. It can be applied independently for IP routes and ISO CLNS routes.


Default

Usage Guidelines

Numerically, an administrative distance is an integer between 0 and 255. In general, the higher the value, the lower the trust rating. An administrative distance of 255 means the routing information source cannot be trusted at all and should be ignored.

When the optional access list number is used with this command, it is applied when a network is being inserted into the routing table. This behavior allows filtering of networks according to the IP address of the router supplying the routing information. This could be used, as an example, to filter out possibly incorrect routing information from routers not under your administrative control.

The order in which you enter distance commands can affect the assigned administrative distances in unexpected ways (see "Example" for further clarification).

Weight values are also subjective; there is no quantitative method for choosing weight values.

For BGP, the distance command sets the administrative distance of the External BGP route.

The show ip protocols EXEC command displays the default administrative distance for a specified routing process.

Example

In the following example, the router igrp global configuration command sets up IGRP routing in autonomous system number 109. The network router configuration commands specify IGRP routing on networks 192.31.7.0 and 128.88.0.0. The first distance router configuration command sets the default administrative distance to 255, which instructs the router to ignore all routing updates from routers for which an explicit distance has not been set. The second distance command sets the administrative distance for all routers on the Class C network 192.31.7.0 to 90. The third distance command sets the administrative distance for the router with the address 128.88.1.3 to 120.

router igrp 109
network 192.31.7.0
network 128.88.0.0
distance 255

To allow the use of external, internal, and local administrative distances that could be a better route to a node, use the distance bgp router configuration command. To return to the default values, use the no form of this command.

distance bgp external-distance internal-distance local-distance
no distance bgp

Syntax Description

external-distance

Administrative distance for BGP external routes. External routes are routes for which the best path is learned from a neighbor external to the autonomous system. Acceptable values are from 1 to 255. The default is 20. Routes with a distance of 255 are not installed in the routing table.

internal-distance

Administrative distance for BGP internal routes. Internal routes are those routes that are learned from another BGP entity within the same autonomous system. Acceptable values are from 1 to 255. The default is 200. Routes with a distance of 255 are not installed in the routing table.

local-distance

Administrative distance for BGP local routes. Local routes are those networks listed with a network router configuration command, often as back doors, for that router or for networks that are being redistributed from another process. Acceptable values are from 1 to 255. The default is 200. Routes with a distance of 255 are not installed in the routing table.


Default

external-distance: 20
internal-distance: 200
local-distance: 200

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

An administrative distance is a rating of the trustworthiness of a routing information source, such as an individual router or a group of routers. Numerically, an administrative distance is an integer between 0 and 255. In general, the higher the value, the lower the trust rating. An administrative distance of 255 means the routing information source cannot be trusted at all and should be ignored.

Use this command if another protocol is known to be able to provide a better route to a node than was actually learned via external BGP, or if some internal routes should really be preferred by BGP.


Note   Changing the administrative distance of BGP internal routes is considered dangerous and is not recommended. One problem that can arise is the accumulation of routing table inconsistencies, which can break routing.


Example

In the following example, internal routes are known to be preferable to those learned through the IGP, so the administrative distance values are set accordingly:

router bgp 109
network 131.108.0.0
neighbor 129.140.6.6 remote-as 123
neighbor 128.125.1.1 remote-as 47
distance bgp 20 20 200

Related Command

distance eigrp internal-distance external-distance
no distance eigrp

Syntax Description

internal-distance

Administrative distance for Enhanced IGRP internal routes. Internal routes are those that are learned from another entity within the same autonomous system. It can be a value from 1 to 255.

external-distance

Administrative distance for Enhanced IGRP external routes. External routes are those for which the best path is learned from a neighbor external to the autonomous system. It can be a value from 1 to 255.


Default

internal-distance: 90
external-distance: 170

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

An administrative distance is a rating of the trustworthiness of a routing information source, such as an individual router or a group of routers. Numerically, an administrative distance is an integer between 0 and 255. In general, the higher the value, the lower the trust rating. An administrative distance of 255 means the routing information source cannot be trusted at all and should be ignored.

Use the distance eigrp command if another protocol is known to be able to provide a better route to a node than was actually learned via external Enhanced IGRP or if some internal routes should really be preferred by Enhanced IGRP.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

When redistributing networks, a routing process name can be specified as an optional trailing argument to the distribute-list command. This causes the access list to be applied to only those routes derived from the specified routing process. After the process-specific access list is applied, any access list specified by a distribute-list command without a process name argument will be applied. Addresses not specified in the distribute-list command will not be advertised in outgoing routing updates.


Note   To filter networks received in updates, use the distribute-list in command.


Examples

The following example would cause only one network to be advertised by a RIP routing process: network 131.108.0.0.

access-list 1 permit 131.108.0.0
access-list 1 deny 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255
router rip
network 131.108.0.0
distribute-list 1 out

In the following example, access list 1 is applied to outgoing routing updates and IS-IS is enabled on Ethernet interface 0. Only network 131.131.101.0 will be advertised in outgoing IS-IS routing updates.

router isis
redistribute ospf 109

To define a BGP-related access list, use the ip as-path access-list global configuration command. To disable use of the access list, use the no form of this command.

ip as-path access-list access-list-number {permit | deny} as-regular-expression
no ip as-path access-list access-list-number {permit | deny} as-regular-expression

Syntax Description

access-list-number

Integer from 1 to 199 that indicates the regular expression access list number.

permit

Permits access for matching conditions.

deny

Denies access to matching conditions.

as-regular-expression

Autonomous system in the access list using a regular expression. See the "Regular Expressions" appendix for information about forming regular expressions.


Default

No access lists are defined.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

You can specify an access list filter on both inbound and outbound BGP routes. In addition, you can assign weights based on a set of filters. Each filter is an access list based on regular expressions. If the regular expression matches the representation of the autonomous system path of the route as an ASCII string, then the permit or deny condition applies. The autonomous system path does not contain the local autonomous system number. Use the ip as-path access-list global configuration command to define an BGP access list, and the neighbor router configuration command to apply a specific access list.

Example

The following example specifies that the BGP neighbor with IP address 128.125.1.1 is not sent advertisements about any path through or from the adjacent autonomous system 123.

ip as-path access-list 1 deny _123_
ip as-path access-list 1 deny ^123$

router bgp 109
network 131.108.0.0
neighbor 129.140.6.6 remote-as 123
neighbor 128.125.1.1 remote-as 47
neighbor 128.125.1.1 filter-list 1 out

ip community-list

To create a community list for BGP and control access to it, use the ip community-list global configuration command. To delete the community list, use the no form of this command.

ip community-list community-list-number {permit | deny} community-number
no ip community-list community-list-number

Syntax Description

community-list-number

Integer 1 through 99 that identifies one or more permit or deny groups of communities.

permit

Permits access for a matching condition.

deny

Denies access for a matching condition.

community-number

Community number configured by a set community command. Valid value is one of the following:

1 through 4294967200. You can specify a single number or multiple numbers separated by a space.

internet—The Internet community.

no-export—Do not advertise this route to an EBGP peer.

no-advertise—Do not advertise this route to any peer (internal or external).


Default

Once you permit a value for the community number, the community list defaults to an implicit deny for everything else.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Example

In the following example, the router permits all routes except the routes with the communities 5 and 10 or 10 and 15:

ip community-list 1 deny 5 10
ip community-list 1 deny 10 15
ip community-list 1 permit internet

Related Command

ip default-network

To select a network as a candidate route for computing the gateway of last resort, use the ip default-network global configuration command. To remove a route, use the no form of this command.

ip default-network network-number
no ip default-network network-number

Syntax Description

network-number

Number of the network.


Default

If the router has a directly connected interface onto the specified network, the dynamic routing protocols running on that router will generate (or source) a default route. For RIP, this is flagged as the pseudonetwork 0.0.0.0; for IGRP, it is the network itself, flagged as an exterior route.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

The router uses both administrative distance and metric information to determine the default route. Multiple ip default-network commands can be given. All candidate default routes, both static (that is, flagged by ip default-network) and dynamic, appear in the routing table preceded by an asterisk.

If the IP routing table indicates that the specified network number is subnetted and a non-zero subnet number is specified, then the system will automatically configure a static summary route. This static summary route is configured instead of a default network. The effect of the static summary route is to cause traffic destined for subnets that are not explicitly listed in the IP routing table to be routed using the specified subnet.

Examples

The following example defines a static route to network 10.0.0.0 as the static default route:

ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 131.108.3.4
ip default-network 10.0.0.0

If the following command was issued on a router not connected to network 129.140.0.0, the router might choose the path to that network as a default route when the network appeared in the routing table:

ip default-network 129.140.0.0

Related Command

show ip route

ip dvmrp accept-filter

To configure an acceptance filter for incoming DVMRP reports, use the ip dvmrp accept-filter interface configuration command. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

ip dvmrp accept-filter access-list-number [distance]
no ip dvmrp accept-filter access-list-number [distance]

Syntax Description

access-list-number

Number of a standard IP access list. This can be a number from 0 to 99. A value of 0 means that all sources are accepted with the configured distance.

distance

(Optional) Administrative distance to the destination.


Default

All destinations are accepted with a distance of 0.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

Any sources that match the access list are stored in the DVMRP routing table with distance.

The distance is used to compare with the same source in the unicast routing table. The route with the lower distance (either the route in the unicast routing table or that in the DVMRP routing table) takes precedence when computing the Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF) interface for a source of a multicast packet.

By default, the administrative distance for DVMRP routes is 0. This means that they always take precedence over unicast routing table routes. If you have two paths to a source, one through unicast routing (using PIM as the multicast routing protocol) and another path using DVMRP (unicast and multicast routing), and if you want to use the PIM path, use the ip dvmrp accept-filter command to increase the administrative distance for DVMRP routes. For example, if the unicast routing protocol is Enhanced IGRP, which has a default administrative distance of 90, you could define and apply the following access list so the RPF interface used to accept multicast packets will be through the Enhanced IGRP/PIM path:

ip dvmrp accept-filter 1 100
access-list 1 permit 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255

Example

The following example applies access list 57 to the interface and sets a distance of 4:

access-list 57 permit 131.108.0.0 0.0.255.255
access-list 57 permit 198.92.37.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 57 deny 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255
ip dvmrp accept-filter 57 4

ip dvmrp default-information

To advertise network 0.0.0.0 to DVMRP neighbors on an interface, use the ip dvmrp default-information interface configuration command. To prevent the advertisement, use the no form of this command.

ip dvmrp default-information {originate | only}
no ip dvmrp default-information {originate | only}

Syntax Description

originate

Other routes more specific than 0.0.0.0 can also be advertised.

only

No DVMRP routes other than 0.0.0.0 are advertised.


Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command should only be used when the router is a neighbor to mrouted version 3.6 machines. The mrouted protocol is a public domain implementation of DVMRP.

You can use the ip dvmrp metric command with the ip dvmrp default-information command to tailor the metric used when advertising the default route 0.0.0.0. By default, metric 1 is used.

Example

The following example configures the router to advertise network 0.0.0.0, in addition to other networks, to DVMRP neighbors:

ip dvmrp default-information originate

Related Command

ip dvmrp metric

ip dvmrp metric

To configure the metric associated with a set of destinations for DVMRP reports, use the ip dvmrp metric interface configuration command. To disable this function, use the no form of this command.

ip dvmrp metric metric [list access-list-number] [protocol process-id] | [dvmrp]
no ip dvmrp metric metric [list access-list-number] [protocol process-id] | [dvmrp]

Syntax Description

metric

Metric associated with a set of destinations for DVMRP reports. It can be a value from 0 to 32. A value of 0 means that the route is not advertised. A value of 32 is equivalent to infinity (unreachable).

list access-list-number

(Optional) Number of an access list. If you specify this argument, only the multicast destinations that match the access list are reported with the configured metric. Any destinations not advertised because of split horizon do not use the configured metric.

protocol

(Optional) Name of unicast routing protocol. It can be bgp, egp, eigrp, igrp, isis, ospf, rip, or static. (Note that these are the protocol names you can specify with a router protocol command.)

If you specify these arguments, only routes learned by the specified routing protocol are advertised in DVMRP report messages.

process-id

(Optional) Process ID number of the unicast routing protocol.

dvmrp

(Optional) Allows routes from the DVMRP routing table to be advertised with the configured metric or filtered.


Default

No metric is preconfigured. Only directly connected subnets and networks are advertised to neighboring DVMRP routers.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

When PIM is configured on an interface and DVMRP neighbors are discovered, the router sends DVMRP report messages for directly connected networks. The ip dvmrp metric command enables DVMRP report messages for multicast destinations that match the access list. Usually, the metric for these routes is 1. Under certain circumstances, it may be desirable to tailor the metric used for various unicast routes.

Use the access-list-number argument in conjunction with the protocol process-id arguments to selectively list the destinations learned from a given routing protocol.

To display DVMRP activity, use the debug ip dvmrp command.

Example

The following example connects a PIM cloud to a DVMRP cloud. Access list 1 permits the sending of DVMRP reports to the DVMRP routers advertising all sources in the 198.92.35.0 network with a metric of 1. Access list 2 permits all other destinations, but the metric of 0 means that no DVMRP reports are sent for these destinations.

access-list 1 permit 198.92.35.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 1 deny 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255
access-list 2 permit 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255

ip dvmrp metric-offset

To change the metrics of advertised DVMRP routes and thus favor or not favor a certain route, use the ip dvmrp metric-offset interface configuration command. To restore the default values, use the no form of this command.

ip dvmrp metric-offset [in | out] increment
no ip dvmrp metric-offset

Syntax Description

in

(Optional) The increment value is added to incoming DVMRP reports and is reported in mrinfo replies. The default for in is 1.

out

(Optional) The increment value is added to outgoing DVMRP reports for routes from the DVMRP routing table. The default for out is 0.

increment

Value added to the metric of a DVMRP route advertised in a Report message.


Defaults

If neither in nor out is specified, in is the default.
The default for in is 1.
The default for out is 0.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

Use this command to influence which routes are used, as you prefer. The DVMRP metric is in hop count.

Example

The following example adds 10 to the incoming DVMRP reports:

ip dvmrp metric-offset 10

ip dvmrp reject-non-pruners

To configure the router so that it will not peer with a DVMRP neighbor if that neighbor does not support DVMRP pruning or grafting, use the ip dvmrp reject-non-pruners interface configuration command. To disable the feature, use the no form of this command.

ip dvmrp reject-non-pruners
no ip dvmrp reject-non-pruners

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

By default, the router accepts all DVMRP neighbors as peers, regardless of their DVMRP capability or lack thereof.

Use this command to prevent a router from peering with a DVMRP neighbor if that neighbor does not support DVMRP pruning or grafting. If the router receives a DVMRP Probe or Report message without the Prune-Capable flag set, the router logs a syslog message and discards the message.

Note that this command prevents peering with neighbors only. If there are any non-pruning routers multiple hops away (downstream toward potential receivers) that are not rejected, then a non-pruning DVMRP network might still exist.

Example

The following example configures the router not to peer with DVMRP neighbors that do not support pruning or grafting:

ip dvmrp reject-non-pruners

ip dvmrp routehog-notification

To change the number of DVMRP routes allowed before a syslog warning message is issued, use the ip dvmrp routehog-notification global configuration command. To restore the default value, use the no form of this command.

ip dvmrp routehog-notification route-count
no ip dvmrp routehog-notification

Syntax Description

route-count

Number of routes allowed before a syslog message is triggered.


Default

10,000 routes

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.2.

This command configures how many DVMRP routes are accepted on each interface within an approximate one-minute interval before a syslog message is issued, warning that there might be a route surge occurring. The warning is typically used to detect quickly when people have misconfigured their routers to inject a large number of routes into the MBONE.

The show ip igmp interface command displays a running count of routes. When the count is exceeded, an "*** ALERT ***" is appended to the line.

Example

The following example lowers the threshold to 8000 routes:

ip dvmrp routehog-notification 8000

Related Command

show ip igmp interface

ip dvmrp route-limit

To change the limit on the number of DVMRP routes that can be advertised over an interface enabled to run DVMRP, use the ip dvmrp route-limit global configuration command. To configure no limit, use the no form of this command.

ip dvmrp route-limit count
no ip dvmrp route-limit

Syntax Description

count

Number of DVMRP routes that can be advertised.


Default

7000 routes

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

Interfaces enabled to run DVMRP include a DVMRP tunnel, an interface where a DVMRP neighbor has been discovered, or an interface configured to run ip dvmrp unicast-routing.

The ip dvmrp route-limit command is automatically generated to the configuration file when at least one interface is enabled for multicast routing. This command is necessary to prevent misconfigured ip dvmrp metric commands from causing massive route injection into the multicast backbone (MBONE).

Example

The following example changes the limit to 5000 DVMRP routes allowed to be advertised:

ip dvmrp route-limit 5000

Related Command

ip dvmrp unicast-routing

ip dvmrp unicast-routing

To enable DVMRP unicast routing on an interface, use the ip dvmrp unicast-routing interface configuration command. To disable the feature, use the no form of this command.

ip dvmrp unicast-routing
no ip dvmrp unicast-routing

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.

Enabling DVMRP unicast routing means that routes in DVMRP Report messages are cached by the router in a DVMRP routing table. When PIM is running, these routes may get preference over routes in the unicast routing table. This allows PIM to run on the MBONE topology when it is different from the unicast topology.

DVMRP unicast routing can run on all interfaces, including GRE tunnels. On DVMRP tunnels, it runs by virtue of doing DVMRP multicast routing. This command does not enable DVMRP multicast routing among Cisco routers. However, if there is a DVMRP-capable multicast router, the Cisco router will do PIM/DVMRP multicast routing interaction.

Example

The following example enables DVMRP unicast routing:

ip dvmrp unicast-routing

Related Command

ip dvmrp route-limit

ip gdp

To enable GDP routing on an interface, use the ip gdp interface configuration command. To disable GDP routing, use the no form of this command.

ip gdp [priority number | reporttime seconds | holdtime seconds]
no ip gdp

Syntax Description

priority number

(Optional) Alters the GDP priority; default is a priority of 100. A larger number indicates a higher priority.

reporttime seconds

(Optional) Alters the GDP reporting interval; the default is 5 seconds for broadcast media such as Ethernets, and never for nonbroadcast media such as X.25.

holdtime seconds

(Optional) Alters the GDP default hold time of 15 seconds.


Default

priority: 100
reporttime: 5 seconds for broadcast media; 0 for nonbroadcast media
holdtime: 15 seconds

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

When enabled on an interface, GDP updates report the primary and secondary IP addresses of that interface.

Example

In the following example, GDP is enabled on Ethernet interface 1 with a report time of 10 seconds, and priority and hold time set to their defaults (because none are specified):

ip gdp reporttime 10

ip hello-interval eigrp

To configure the hello interval for the Enhanced IGRP routing process designated by an autonomous system number, use the ip hello-interval eigrp interface configuration command. To restore the default value, use the no form of this command.

ip hello-interval eigrp autonomous-system-number seconds
no ip hello-interval eigrp autonomous-system-number seconds

Syntax Description

autonomous-system-number

Autonomous system number.

seconds

Hello interval, in seconds.


Default

For low-speed, NBMA networks: 60 seconds
For all other networks: 5 seconds

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

The default of 60 seconds applies only to low speed, nonbroadcast, mutiaccess (NBMA) media. Low speed is considered to be a rate of T1 or slower, as specified with the bandwidth interface configuration command. Note that for the purposes of Enhanced IGRP, Frame Relay and SMDS networks may or may not be considered to be NBMA. These networks are considered NBMA if the interface has not been configured to use physical multicasting; otherwise they are considered not to be NBMA.

Example

The following example sets the hello interval for Ethernet interface 0 to 10 seconds:

interface ethernet 0
ip hello-interval eigrp 109 10

Related Command

ip hold-time eigrp

ip hold-time eigrp

To configure the hold time for a particular Enhanced IGRP routing process designated by the autonomous system number, use the ip hold-time eigrp interface configuration command. To restore the default value, use the no form of this command.

ip hold-time eigrp autonomous-system-number seconds
no ip hold-time eigrp autonomous-system-number seconds

Syntax Description

autonomous-system-number

Autonomous system number.

seconds

Hold time, in seconds.


Default

For low-speed, NBMA networks: 180 seconds
For all other networks: 15 seconds

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

On very congested and large networks, the default hold time might not be sufficient time for all routers to receive hello packets from their neighbors. In this case, you may want to increase the hold time.

We recommend that the hold time be at least three times the hello interval. If a router does not receive a hello packet within the specified hold time, routes through the router are considered unavailable.

Increasing the hold time delays route convergence across the network.

The default of 180 seconds hold time and 60 seconds hello interval apply only to low speed, nonbroadcast, multiaccess (NBMA) media. Low speed is considered to be a rate of T1 or slower, as specified with the bandwidth interface configuration command.

Example

The following example sets the hold time for Ethernet interface 0 to 40 seconds:

interface ethernet 0
 ip hold-time eigrp 109 40

Related Command

ip hello-interval eigrp

ip igmp access-group

To control the multicast groups that hosts on the subnet serviced by an interface can join, use the ip igmp access-group interface configuration command. To disable groups on an interface, use the no form of this command.

ip igmp access-group access-list-number
no ip igmp access-group access-list-number

Syntax Description

access-list-number

Number of a standard IP access list. This can be a number from 1 to 99.


Default

All groups are allowed on an interface.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Example

In the following example, hosts serviced by Ethernet interface 0 can join the group 225.2.2.2 only:

access-list 1 225.2.2.2 0.0.0.0
interface ethernet 0
ip igmp access-group 1

Related Command

ip igmp join-group

ip igmp join-group

To have the router join a multicast group, use the ip igmp join-group interface configuration command. To cancel membership in a multicast group, use the no form of this command.

ip igmp join-group group-address
no ip igmp join-group group-address

Syntax Description

group-address

Address of the multicast group. This is a multicast IP address in four-part dotted notation.


Default

No multicast group memberships are predefined.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

IP packets that are addressed to the group address are passed to the IP client process in the router.

If all the multicast-capable routers that you administer are members of a multicast group, pinging that group causes all routers to respond. This can be a useful administrative and debugging tool.

Another reason to have a router join a multicast group is when other hosts on the network have a bug in IGRP that prevents them from correctly answering IGMP queries. Having the router join the multicast group causes upstream routers to maintain multicast routing table information for that group and keep the paths for that group active.

Example

In the following example, the router joins multicast group 225.2.2.2:

ip igmp join-group 225.2.2.2

Related Commands

A dagger (†) indicates that the command is documented in another chapter.

ip igmp access-group

ip igmp query-interval

To configure the frequency at which the router sends IGMP host-query messages, use the ip igmp query-interval interface configuration command. To return to the default frequency, use the no form of this command.

ip igmp query-interval seconds
no ip igmp query-interval

Syntax Description

seconds

Frequency, in seconds, at which to transmit IGMP host-query messages. The can be a number from 0 to 65535. The default is 60 seconds.


Default

60 seconds

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

Multicast routers send host membership query messages (referred to as host-query messages) to discover which multicast groups have members on the router's attached networks. Hosts respond with IGMP report messages indicating that they wish to receive multicast packets for specific groups (that is, indicating that the host wants to become a member of the group). Host-query messages are addresses to the all-hosts multicast group, which has the address 224.0.0.1, and have an IP TTL value of 1.

The designated router for a LAN is the only router that sends IGMP host-query messages. The designated router is elected according to the multicast routing protocol that runs on the LAN.


Note   Changing this value may severely impact multicast forwarding.


Example

The following example changes the frequency at which the designated router sends IGMP host-query messages to 2 minutes:

interface tunnel 0
ip igmp query-interval 120

Related Commands

ip pim query-interval
show ip igmp groups

ip irdp

To enable ICMP Router Discovery Protocol (IRDP) processing on an interface, use the ip irdp interface configuration command. To disable IRDP routing, use the no form of this command.

ip irdp [multicast | holdtime seconds | maxadvertinterval seconds | minadvertinterval
seconds | preference number | address address [number]]
no ip irdp

Syntax Description

multicast

(Optional) Use the multicast address (224.0.0.1) instead of IP broadcasts.

holdtime seconds

(Optional) Length of time in seconds advertisements are held valid. Default is three times the maxadvertinterval value. Must be greater than maxadvertinterval and cannot be greater than 9000 seconds.

maxadvertinterval seconds

(Optional) Maximum interval in seconds between advertisements. The default is 600 seconds.

minadvertinterval seconds

(Optional) Minimum interval in seconds between advertisements. The default is 0.75 times the maxadvertinterval. If you change the maxadvertinterval value, this value defaults to three-quarters of the new value.

preference number

(Optional) Router's preference value. The allowed range is -231 to 231. The default is 0. A higher value increases the router's preference level. You can modify a particular router so that it will be the preferred router to which others home.

address address [number]

(Optional) IP address (address) to proxy-advertise, and optionally, its preference value (number).


Default

Disabled

When enabled, IRDP uses these defaults:

Broadcast IRDP advertisements

Maximum interval between advertisements: 600 seconds

Minimum interval between advertisements: 0.75 times maxadvertinterval

Preference: 0

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

If you change maxadvertinterval, the other two values also change, so it is important to change maxadvertinterval first before changing either holdtime or minadvertinterval.

The ip irdp multicast command allows for compatibility with Sun Microsystems Solaris, which requires IRDP packets to be sent out as multicasts. Many implementations cannot receive these multicasts; ensure end host ability before using this command.

Example

The following example illustrates how to set the various IRDP processes:

! enable irdp on interface Ethernet 0
interface ethernet 0
ip irdp
! send IRDP advertisements to the multicast address
ip irdp multicast
! increase router preference from 100 to 50
ip irdp preference 50
! set maximum time between advertisements to 400 secs
ip irdp maxadvertinterval 400
! set minimum time between advertisements to 100 secs
ip irdp minadvertinterval 100
! advertisements are good for 6000 seconds
ip irdp holdtime 6000
! proxy-advertise 131.108.14.5 with default router preference
ip irdp address 131.108.14.5
! proxy-advertise 131.108.14.6 with preference of 50
ip irdp address 131.108.14.6 50

ip local policy route-map

To identify a route map to use for local policy routing, use the ip local policy route-map global configuration command. To disable local policy routing, use the no form of this command.

ip local policy route-map map-tag
no ip local policy route-map map-tag

Syntax Description

map-tag

Name of the route map to use for local policy routing. The name must match a map-tag specified by a route-map command.


Default

Packets that are generated by the router are not policy-routed.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

Packets that are generated by the router are not normally policy-routed. However, you can use this command to policy-route such packets. You might enable local policy routing if you want packets originated at the router to take a route other than the obvious shortest path.

The ip local policy route-map command identifies a route map to use for local policy routing. Each route-map command has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria—the conditions under which packets should be policy-routed. The set commands specify the set actions—the particular policy routing actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met. The no ip local policy route-map command deletes the reference to the route map and disables local policy routing.

Example

In the following example, packets with a destination IP address matching that allowed by extended access list 131 are sent to the router at IP address 174.21.3.20:

ip local policy route-map xxx
!
route-map xxx
match ip address 131
set ip next-hop 174.21.3.20

ip mroute

To configure a multicast static route (mroute), use the ip mroute global configuration command. To remove the route, use the no form of this command.

ip mroute source mask [protocol as-number] {rpf-address | type number} [distance]
no ip mroute source mask [protocol as-number] {rpf-address | type number} [distance]

Syntax Description

source

IP address of the multicast source.

mask

Mask on the IP address of the multicast source.

protocol

(Optional) Unicast routing procotol that you are using.

as-number

(Optional) Autonomous system number of the routing protocol you are using, if applicable.

rpf-address

Incoming interface for the mroute. If the Reverse Path Forwarding address rpf-address is a PIM neighbor, PIM Joins, Grafts, and Prunes are sent to it. The rpf-address can be a host IP address of a directly connected system or a network/subnet number. When it is a route, a recursive lookup is done from the unicast routing table to find a directly connected system. If rpf-address is not specified, the interface type number is used as the incoming interface.

type number

Interface type and number for the mroute.

distance

(Optional) Determines whether a unicast route, a DVMRP route, or a static mroute should be used for the RPF lookup. The lower distances have better preference. If the static mroute has the same distance as the other two RPF sources, the static mroute will take precedence. The default is 0.


Default

distance: 0

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command allows you to statically configure where multicast sources are located (even though the unicast routing table says something different).

When a source range is specified, the rpf-address applies only to those sources.

Examples

The following example configures all sources via a single interface (in this case, a tunnel):

ip mroute 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 tunnel0

The following example configures all specific sources within a network number are reachable through 171.68.10.13:

ip mroute 171.69.0.0 255.255.0.0 171.68.10.13

The following example causes this multicast static route to take effect if the unicast routes for any given destination go away:

ip mroute 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 serial0 200

ip mroute-cache

To configure IP multicast fast switching, use the ip mroute-cache interface configuration command. To disable IP multicast fast switching, use the no form of this command.

ip mroute-cache
no ip mroute-cache

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Enabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

If fast switching is disabled on an incoming interface for a multicast routing table entry, the packet will be sent at process level for all interfaces in the outgoing interface list.

If fast switching is disabled on an outgoing interface for a multicast routing table entry, the packet is process level switched for that interface, but might be fast-switched for other interfaces in the outgoing interface list.

When fast switching is enabled (like unicast routing), debug messages are not logged. If you want to log debug messages, disable fast switching.

Example

The following example disables IP multicast fast switching on the interface:

no ip mroute-cache

ip multicast rate-limit

To control the rate a sender from the source-list can send to a multicast group in the group-list, use the ip multicast rate-limit interface configuration command. To remove the control, use the no form of this command.

ip multicast rate-limit {in | out} [group-list access-list] [source-list access-list] kbps
no multicast rate-limit {in | out} [group-list access-list] [source-list access-list] kbps

Syntax Description

in

Only packets at the rate of kbps or slower are accepted on the interface.

out

Only a maximum of kbps will be transmitted on the interface.

group-list access-list

(Optional) Specifies the access list number that controls which multicast groups are subject to the rate limit.

source-list access-list

(Optional) Specifies the access list number that controls which senders are subject to the rate limit.

kbps

Kilobits per second transmission rate.


Default

kbps = 0, meaning that there is no limit on the rate traffic is sent.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

If a router receives a packet and in the last second the user has sent over the limit, the packet is dropped; otherwise, it is forwarded.

Example

In the following example, packets to any group from sources in network 171.69.0.0 will have their packets rate-limited to 64 kilobits per second:

interface serial 0
ip multicast rate-limit out group-list 1 source-list 2 64
access-list 1 permit 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255
access-list 2 permit 171.69.0.0 0.0.255.255

ip multicast-routing

To enable IP multicast routing on the router, use the ip multicast-routing global configuration command. To disable IP multicast routing, use the no form of this command.

ip multicast-routing
no ip multicast-routing

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

When IP multicast routing is disabled, the router does not forward any multicast packets.

Example

The following example enables IP multicast routing on the router:

ip multicast-routing

Related Command

ip pim

ip multicast ttl-threshold

To configure the time-to-live (TTL) threshold of packets being forwarded out an interface, use the ip multicast ttl-threshold interface configuration command. To return to the default TTL threshold, use the no form of this command.

ip multicast ttl-threshold ttl
no ip multicast ttl-threshold [ttl]

Syntax Description

ttl

Time-to-live value, in hops. It can be a value from 0 to 255. The default value is 0, which means that all multicast packets are forwarded out the interface.


Default

0, which means that all multicast packets are forwarded out the interface.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

Only multicast packets with a TTL value greater than the threshold are forwarded out the interface.

You should configure the TTL threshold only on border routers. Conversely, routers on which you configure a TTL threshold value automatically become border routers.

This command replaces the ip multicast-threshold command, which is obsolete.

Example

In the following example, you set the TTL threshold on a border router to 200, which is a very high value. This means that multicast packets must have a TTL greater than 200 in order to be forwarded out this interface. Multicast applications generally set this value well below 200. Therefore, setting a value of 200 means that no packets will be forwarded out the interface.

interface tunnel 0
ip multicast ttl-threshold 200

ip ospf authentication-key

To assign a password to be used by neighboring routers that are using OSPF's simple password authentication, use the ip ospf authentication-key interface configuration command. To remove a previously assigned OSPF password, use the no form of this command.

ip ospf authentication-key password
no ip ospf authentication-key

Syntax Description

password

Any continuous string of characters that can be entered from the keyboard up to 8 bytes in length.


Default

No password is specified.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

The password created by this command is used as a "key" that is inserted directly into the OSPF header when the router originates routing protocol packets. A separate password can be assigned to each network on a per-interface basis. All neighboring routers on the same network must have the same password to be able to exchange OSPF information.


Note   A router will use this key only when authentication is enabled for an area with the area authentication router configuration command.


Example

In the following example, the authentication key is enabled with the string yourpass:

ip ospf authentication-key yourpass

Related Command

area authentication

ip ospf cost

To explicitly specify the cost of sending a packet on an interface, use the ip ospf cost interface configuration command. To reset the path cost to the default value, use the no form of this command.

ip ospf cost cost
no ip cost

Syntax Description

cost

Unsigned integer value expressed as the link state metric. It can be a value in the range 1 to 65535.


Default

No default cost is predefined.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

You can set the metric manually using this command. Using the bandwidth command changes the link cost as long as this command is not used.

The link state metric is advertised as the link cost in the router's router link advertisement. We do not support type of service (TOS), so you can assign only one cost per interface.

In general, the path cost is calculated using the following formula:

108 ÷ Bandwidth

Using the above formula, the default path costs were calculated as noted in the following list. If these values do not suit your network, you can use your own method of calculating path costs.

56-kbps serial link—Default cost is 1785

64-kbps serial link—Default cost is 1562

T1 (1.544-Mbps serial link)—Default cost is 65

E1 (2.048-Mbps serial link)—Default cost is 48

4-Mbps Token Ring—Default cost is 25

Ethernet—Default cost is 10

16-Mbps Token Ring—Default cost is 6

FDDI—Default cost is 1

Example

The following example sets the interface cost value to 65:

ip ospf cost 65

ip ospf dead-interval

To set how long a router's Hello packets must not have been seen before its neighbors declare the router down, use the ip ospf dead-interval interface configuration command. To return to the default time, use the no form of this command.

ip ospf dead-interval seconds
no ip ospf dead-interval

Syntax Description

seconds

Unsigned integer that specifies the interval in seconds; the value must be the same for all nodes on the network.


Default

Four times the interval set by the ip ospf hello-interval command

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

The interval is advertised in the router's Hello packets. This value must be the same for all routers on a specific network.

Example

The following example sets the OSPF dead interval to 60 seconds:

interface ethernet 1
ip ospf dead-interval 60

Related Command

ip ospf hello-interval

ip ospf hello-interval

To specify the interval between Hello packets that the router sends on the interface, use the ip ospf hello-interval interface configuration command. To return to the default time, use the no form of this command.

ip ospf hello-interval seconds
no ip ospf hello-interval

Syntax Description

seconds

Unsigned integer that specifies the interval in seconds. The value must be the same for all nodes on a specific network.


Default

10 seconds

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This value is advertised in the router's Hello packets. The smaller the Hello interval, the faster topological changes will be detected, but more routing traffic will ensue. This value must be the same for all routers on a specific network.

Example

The following example sets the interval between Hello packets to 15 seconds:

interface ethernet 1
ip ospf hello-interval 15

Related Command

ip ospf dead-interval

ip ospf message-digest-key

To enable OSPF MD5 authentication, use the ip ospf message-digest-key interface configuration command. To remove an old MD5 key, use the no form of this command.

ip ospf message-digest-key keyid md5 key
no ip ospf message-digest-key keyid

Syntax Description

keyid

An identifier in the range 1 through 255.

key

Alphanumeric password of up to 16 bytes.


Default

OSPF MD5 authentication is disabled.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

Usually there is one key per interface, which is used to generate authentication information when sending packets and to authenticate incoming packets. The same key identifier on the neighbor router must have the same key value.

The process of changing keys is as follows. Suppose the current configuration is as follows:

interface ethernet 1
ip ospf message-digest-key 100 md5 OLD

You change the configuration to the following:

interface ethernet 1
ip ospf message-digest-key 101 md5 NEW

The system assumes its neighbors do not have the new key yet, so it begins a rollover process. It sends multiple copies of the same packet, each authenticated by different keys. In this example, the system sends out two copies of the same packet—the first one authenticated by key 100 and the second one authenticated by key 101.

Rollover allows neighboring routers to continue communication while the network administrator is updating them with the new key. Rollover stops once the local system finds that all its neighbors know the new key. The system detects that a neighbor has the new key when it receives packets from the neighbor authenticated by the new key.

After all neighbors have been updated with the new key, the old key should be removed. In this example, you would enter the following:

interface ethernet 1
no ip ospf message-digest-key 100

Then, only key 101 is used for authentication on Ethernet interface 1.

We recommend that you not keep more than one key per interface. Every time you add a new key, you should remove the old key to prevent the local system from continuing to communicate with a hostile system that knows the old key. Removing the old key also reduces overhead during rollover.

Example

The following example sets a new key 19 with the password 8ry4222:

interface ethernet 1
ip ospf message-digest-key 10 md5 xvv560qle
ip ospf message-digest-key 19 md5 8ry4222

Related Command

ip ospf name-lookup

To configure OSPF to look up Domain Name System (DNS) names for use in all OSPF show EXEC command displays, use the ip ospf name-lookup global configuration command. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

ip ospf name-lookup
no ip ospf name-lookup

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This feature makes it easier to identify a router because it is displayed by name rather than by its router ID or neighbor ID.

Example

The following example configures OSPF to look up DNS names for use in all OSPF show EXEC command displays:

ip ospf name-lookup

Sample Display

The following is sample output from the show ip ospf database EXEC command, for example, once you have enabled the DNS name lookup feature.

ip ospf network

To configure the OSPF network type to a type other than the default for a given media, use the ip ospf network interface configuration command. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.

ip ospf network {broadcast | non-broadcast | point-to-multipoint}
no ip ospf network

Syntax Description

broadcast

Sets the network type to broadcast.

non-broadcast

Sets the network type to nonbroadcast.

point-to-multipoint

Sets the network type to point-to-multipoint.


Default

Depends on the network type

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

Using this feature, you can configure broadcast networks as nonbroadcast multiaccess networks when, for example, you have routers in your network that do not support multicast addressing. You can also configure nonbroadcast multiaccess networks, such as X.25, Frame Relay, and SMDS, as broadcast networks. This feature saves you from having to configure neighbors.

Configuring nonbroadcast multiaccess networks as either broadcast or nonbroadcast assumes that there are virtual circuits from every router to every router or fully-meshed network. This is not true for some cases, for example, due to cost constraints or when you have only a partially-meshed network. In these cases, you can configure the OSPF network type as a point-to-multipoint network. Routing between two routers that are not directly connected will go through the router that has virtual circuits to both routers. Note that you do not need to configure neighbors when using this feature.

If this command is issued on an interface that does not allow it, it will be ignored.

Example

The following example sets your OSPF network as a broadcast network:

interface serial 0
ip address 160.89.77.17 255.255.255.0
ip ospf network broadcast
encapsulation frame-relay

ip ospf priority

To set the router's priority, which helps determine the designated router for this network, use the ip ospf priority interface configuration command. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.

ip ospf priority number
no ip ospf priority

Syntax Description

number

8-bit unsigned integer that specifies the priority. The range is from 0 to 255.


Default

Priority of 1

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

When two routers attached to a network both attempt to become the designated router; the one with the higher router priority takes precedence. If there is a tie, the router with the higher router ID takes precedence. A router with a router priority set to zero is ineligible to become the designated router or backup designated router. Router priority is only configured for interfaces to multiaccess networks (in other words, not point-to-point networks).

This priority value is used when you configure OSPF for nonbroadcast networks using the neighbor router configuration command for OSPF.

Example

The following example sets the router priority value to 4:

interface ethernet 0
ip ospf priority 4

Related Commands

ip ospf network

ip ospf retransmit-interval

To specify the time between link state advertisement retransmissions for adjacencies belonging to the interface, use the ip ospf retransmit-interval interface configuration command. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.

ip ospf retransmit-interval seconds
no ip ospf retransmit-interval

Syntax Description

seconds

Time in seconds between retransmissions. It must be greater than the expected round-trip delay between any two routers on the attached network. The range is 1 to 65535 seconds. The default is 5 seconds.


Default

5 seconds

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

When a router sends a link state advertisement (LSA) to its neighbor, it keeps the LSA until it receives back the acknowledgment. If it receives no acknowledgment in seconds, it will retransmit the LSA.

The setting of this parameter should be conservative, or needless retransmission will result. The value should be larger for serial lines and virtual links.

Example

The following example sets the retransmit-interval value to 8 seconds:

interface ethernet 2
ip ospf retransmit-interval 8

ip ospf transmit-delay

To set the estimated time it takes to transmit a link state update packet on the interface, use the ip ospf transmit-delay interface configuration command. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.

ip ospf transmit-delay seconds
no ip ospf transmit-delay

Syntax Description

seconds

Time in seconds that it takes to transmit a link state update. It can be an integer in the range is 1 to 65535 seconds. The default is 1 second.


Default

1 second

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

Link state advertisements in the update packet must have their age incremented by the amount specified in the seconds argument before transmission. The value assigned should take into account the transmission and propagation delays for the interface.

If the delay is not added before transmission over a link, the time in which the LSA propagates over the link is not considered. This setting has more significance on very low speed links.

Example

The following example sets the retransmit-delay value to 3 seconds:

interface ethernet 0
ip ospf transmit-delay 3

ip pim

To enable PIM on an interface, use the ip pim interface configuration command. To disable PIM on the interface, use the no form of this command.

ip pim {dense-mode | sparse-mode}
no ip pim {dense-mode | sparse-mode}

Syntax Description

dense-mode

Enables dense mode of operation.

sparse-mode

Enables sparse mode of operation.


Default

IP multicast routing is disabled on all interfaces.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

Enabling PIM on an interface also enables IGMP operation on that interface. An interface can be configured to be in dense mode or sparse mode. The mode describes how the router populates its multicast routing table and how the router forwards multicast packets it receives from its directly connected LANs. In populating the multicast routing table, dense-mode interfaces are always added to the table. Sparse-mode interfaces are added to the table only when periodic join messages are received from downstream routers or there is a directly connected member on the interface.

Initially, a dense-mode interface forwards multicast packets until the router determines that there are group members or downstream routers, or until a prune message is received from a downstream router. Then, the dense-mode interface will periodically forward multicast packets out the interface until the same conditions occur. Dense mode assumes that there are multicast group members present. Dense-mode routers never send a join message. They do send prune messages as soon as they determine they have no members or downstream PIM routers. A dense-mode interface is subject to multicast flooding by default.

A sparse-mode interface is used for multicast forwarding only if a join message is received from a downstream router or if there are group members directly connected to the interface. Sparse mode assumes that there are no other multicast group members present. When sparse-mode routers want to join the shared path, they periodically send join messages toward the RP. When sparse-mode routers want to join the source path, they periodically send join messages toward the source; they also send periodic prune messages toward to RP to prune the shared path.

Examples

The following commands enables sparse-mode PIM on tunnel interface 0 and sets the address of the RP router to 226.0.0.8:

interface tunnel 0
ip pim sparse-mode
ip pim rp-address 226.0.0.8

The following commands enable dense-mode PIM on Ethernet interface 1:

interface ethernet 1
ip pim dense-mode

ip pim accept-rp

To configure a router to accept Joins or Prunes destined for a specified RP and for a specific list of groups, use the ip pim accept-rp global configuration command. To remove that check, use the no form of this command.

ip pim accept-rp {address | auto-rp} [group-access-list-number]
no ip pim accept-rp {ip-address | auto-rp} [group-access-list-number]

Syntax Description

address

RP address of the RP allowed to send Join messages to groups in the range specified by the group access list.

auto-rp

Join and Register messages are accepted only for RPs that are in the Auto-RP cache.

group-access-list-number

(Optional) Access list that defines which groups are subject to the check.


Default

Disabled, so all Join messages and Prune messages are processed.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.2.

This command causes the router to accept only (*,G) Join messages destined for the specified RP address . Additionally, the group address must be in the range specified by the access list.

When address is one of the system's addresses, the system will be the RP only for the specified group range specified by the access list. When the group address is not in the group range, the RP will not accept Join or Register messages and will respond immediately to Registers with Register-Stop messages.

Example

The following example states that the router will accept Join or Prune messages destined for the RP at address 100.1.1.1 for the multicast group 224.2.2.2:

ip pim accept-rp 100.1.1.1 3
access-list 3 permit 224.2.2.2

Related Command

ip pim nbma-mode

To configure a multiaccess WAN interface to be in nonbroadcast, multiaccess mode, use the ip pim nbma-mode interface configuration command. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

ip pim nbma-mode
no pim nbma-mode

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use this command on Frame Relay, SMDS, or ATM only, especially when these media do not have native multicast available. Do not use this command on multicast-capable LANs such as Ethernet or FDDI.

When this command is configured, each PIM Join message is kept track of in the outgoing interface list of a multicast routing table entry. Therefore, only PIM WAN neighbors that have joined for the group will get packets sent as data link unicasts. This command should only be used when ip pim sparse-mode is configured on the interface. This command is not recommended for LANs that have natural multicast capabilities.

Example

The following example configures an interface to be in nonbroadcast, multiaccess mode:

ip pim nbma-mode

Related Command

ip pim sparse-mode

ip pim query-interval

To configure the frequency of PIM router-query messages, use the ip pim query-interval interface configuration command. To return to the default interval, use the no form of this command.

ip pim query-interval seconds
no ip pim query-interval [seconds]

Syntax Description

seconds

Interval, in seconds, at which periodic PIM router-query messages are sent. It can be a number from 1 to 65535. The default is 30 seconds.


Default

30 seconds

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

Routers that are configured for IP multicast send PIM router-query messages to determine which router will be the designated router for each LAN segment (subnet). The designated router is responsible for sending IGMP host-query messages to all hosts on the directly connected LAN. When operating in sparse mode, the designated router is responsible for sending source registration messages to the RP. The designated router is the router with the largest IP address.

Example

The following example changes the PIM router-query message interval to 45 seconds:

interface tunnel 0
ip pim query-interval 45

Related Command

ip igmp query-interval

ip pim rp-address

To configure the address of a PIM rendezvous point (RP) for a particular group, use the ip pim rp-address global configuration command. To remove an RP address, use the no form of this command.

ip pim rp-address ip-address [access-list-number]
no ip pim rp-address ip-address [access-list-number]

Syntax Description

ip-address

IP address of a router to be a PIM RP. This is a unicast IP address in four-part dotted notation.

access-list-number

(Optional) Number of an access list that defines which multicast groups the RP should be used for. This is a standard IP access list. The number can be from 1 to 100.


Default

No PIM RPs are preconfigured.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

You must configure the IP address of RPs in leaf routers only. Leaf routers are those routers that are directly connected either to a multicast group member or to a sender of multicast messages.

The RP address is used by first-hop routers to send register packets on behalf of source multicast hosts to the RP. This address is also used by routers on behalf of multicast hosts that want to become members of a group to send join messages towards the RP. The RP must be a PIM router; however, it does not require any special configuration to recognize that it is the RP. Also, RPs are not members of the multicast group; rather, they serve as a "meeting place" for multicast sources and group members.

Choosing the router that will be an RP requires prior coordination between the people who want to be members of the multicast group. You should examine the length of the paths between members and sources. Remember that most multicast members will eventually want to join to the source tree that is the shortest route between the source and the group member.

You can configure a router to use a single RP for more than one group. The conditions specified by the access list determine which groups the RP can be used for. If no access list is configured, the RP is used for all groups.

A PIM router can use multiple RPs.

First-hop routers for multicast sources send register packets to all configured RPs. First-hop routers for multicast group members send join packets to one RP at a time. Once this router begins receiving multicast packets for the group, it will have joined one RP tree. Because the router does not want to receive multiple copies of the same packet, it joins only one RP tree.

Examples

The following example sets the PIM RP address to 198.92.37.33 for all multicast groups:

ip pim rp-address 198.92.37.33

The following example sets the PIM RP address to 147.106.6.22 for the multicast group 225.2.2.2 only:

access list 1 225.2.2.2 0.0.0.0
ip pim rp-address 147.106.6.22 1

ip policy route-map

To identify a route map to use for policy routing on an interface, use the ip policy route-map interface configuration command. To disable policy routing on the interface, use the no form of this command.

ip policy route-map map-tag
no ip policy route-map map-tag

Syntax Description

map-tag

Name of the route map to use for policy routing. Must match a map-tag specified by a route-map command.


Default

No policy routing occurs on the interface.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

You might enable policy routing if you want your packets to take a route other than the obvious shortest path.

The ip policy route-map command identifies a route map to use for policy routing. Each route-map command has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria—the conditions under which policy routing is allowed for the interface. The set commands specify the set actions—the particular policy routing actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met. The no ip policy route-map command deletes the pointer to the route map.

Example

In the following example, packets with the destination IP address of 174.95.16.18 are sent to the router at IP address 174.21.3.20:

interface serial 0
ip policy route-map wethersfield
!
route-map wethersfield

ip route

To establish static routes, use the ip route global configuration command. To remove static routes, use the no form of this command.

ip route network [mask] {address | interface} [distance]
no ip route

Syntax Description

network

IP address of the target network or subnet.

mask

(Optional) Network mask that lets you mask network and subnetwork bits.

address

IP address of the next hop that can be used to reach that network.

interface

Network interface to use.

distance

(Optional) An administrative distance.


Default

No static routes are established.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

A static route is appropriate when the router cannot dynamically build a route to the destination.

If you specify an administrative distance, you are flagging a static route that can be overridden by dynamic information. For example, IGRP-derived routes have a default administrative distance of 100. To have a static route that would be overridden by an IGRP dynamic route, specify an administrative distance greater than 100. Static routes have a default administrative distance of 1.

Static routes that point to an interface will be advertised via RIP, IGRP, and other dynamic routing protocols, regardless of whether redistribute static commands were specified for those routing protocols. This is because static routes that point to an interface are considered in the routing table to be connected and hence lose their static nature. However, if you define a static route to an interface that is not one of the networks defined in a network command, no dynamic routing protocols will advertise the route unless a redistribute static command is specified for these protocols.

Examples

In the following example, an administrative distance of 110 was chosen. In this case, packets for network 10.0.0.0 will be routed through to the router at 131.108.3.4 if dynamic information with administrative distance less than 110 is not available.

ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 131.108.3.4 110

In the following example, packets for network 131.108.0.0 will be routed to the router at 131.108.6.6:

To configure an IS-IS routing process for IP on an interface, use the ip router isis interface configuration command. To disable IS-IS for IP, use the no form of this command.

ip router isis [tag]
no ip router isis [tag]

Syntax Description

tag

(Optional) Defines a meaningful name for a routing process. If not specified, a null tag is assumed. It must be unique among all IP router processes for a given router. Use the same text for the argument tag as specified in the router isis global configuration command.


Default

No routing processes are specified.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Example

The following example specifies IS-IS as an IP routing protocol for a process named Finance, and specifies that the Finance process will be routed on interfaces Ethernet 0 and serial 0:

router isis Finance
interface Ethernet 0
ip router isis Finance
interface serial 0
ip router isis Finance

ip sd listen

To enable the router to listen to session directory advertisements, use the ip sd listen interface configuration command. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

ip sd listen
no ip sd listen

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

Session Directory Protocol is a multicast application for creating desktop conferencing sessions. It creates group addresses and allows the user to specify the scope of the group and whether audio, video, or whiteboard applications will be invoked when others open the session.

The ip sd listen command merely enables the router to listen to session directory advertisements. The router joins the default session directory group (group 224.2.127.255) on the interface. Use this command to get contact information.

Example

The following example enables the router to listen to session directory advertisements:

ip sd listen

ip split-horizon

To enable the split-horizon mechanism, use the ip split-horizon interface configuration command. To disable the split-horizon mechanism, use the no form of this command.

ip split-horizon
no ip split-horizon

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Varies with media

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

For all interfaces except those for which either Frame Relay or SMDS encapsulation is enabled, the default condition for this command is ip split-horizon; in other words, the split horizon feature is active. If the interface configuration includes either the encapsulation frame-relay or encapsulation smds commands, then the default is for split horizon to be disabled. Split horizon is not disabled by default for interfaces using any of the X.25 encapsulations.


Note   For networks that include links over X.25 PSNs, the neighbor router configuration command can be used to defeat the split horizon feature. You can as an alternative explicitly specify the no ip split-horizon command in your configuration. However, if you do so you must similarly disable split horizon for all routers in any relevant multicast groups on that network.


If split horizon has been disabled on an interface and you wish to enable it, use the ip split-horizon command to restore the split horizon mechanism.


Note   In general, changing the state of the default for the ip split-horizon command is not recommended, unless you are certain that your application requires a change in order to properly advertise routes. If split horizon is disabled on a serial interface (and that interface is attached to a packet-switched network), you must disable split horizon for all routers in any relevant multicast groups on that network.


Example

The following simple example disables split horizon on a serial link. The serial link is connected to an X.25 network:

interface serial 0
encapsulation x25
no ip split-horizon

Related Commands

ip split-horizon eigrp

To enable Enhanced IGRP split horizon, use the ip split-horizon eigrp interface configuration command. To disable split horizon, use the no form of this command.

ip split-horizon eigrp autonomous-system-number
no ip split-horizon eigrp autonomous-system-number

Syntax Description

autonomous-system-number

Autonomous system number.


Default

Enabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

For networks that include links over X.25 PSNs, you can use the neighbor router configuration command to defeat the split horizon feature. As an alternative, you can explicitly specify the no ip split-horizon eigrp command in your configuration. However, if you do so, you must similarly disable split horizon for all routers in any relevant multicast groups on that network.

In general, it is recommended that you not change the default state of split horizon unless you are certain that your application requires the change in order to properly advertise routes. Remember that if split horizon is disabled on a serial interface and that interface is attached to a packet-switched network, you must disable split horizon for all routers in any relevant multicast groups on that network.

Example

The following example disables split horizon on a serial link connected to an X.25 network:

interface serial 0
encapsulation x25
no ip split-horizon eigrp

ip summary-address eigrp

To configure a summary aggregate address for a specified interface, use the ip summary-address eigrp interface configuration command. To disable a configuration, use the no form of this command.

ip summary-address eigrp autonomous-system-number address mask
no ip summary-address eigrp autonomous-system-number address mask

Syntax Description

autonomous-system-number

Autonomous system number.

address

IP summary aggregate address to apply to an interface.

mask

Subnet mask.


Default

No summary aggregate addresses are predefined.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

Enhanced IGRP summary routes are given an administrative distance value of 5. You cannot configure this value.

Example

The following example sets the IP summary aggregate address for Ethernet interface 0:

interface ethernet 0
ip summary-address eigrp 109 192.1.0.0 255.255.0.0

isis circuit-type

To configure the type of adjacency, use the isis circuit-type interface configuration command. To reset the circuit type to Level l and Level 2, use the no form of this command.

isis circuit-type {level-1 | level-1-2 | level-2-only}
no isis circuit-type

Syntax Description

level-1

A Level 1 adjacency may be established if there is at least one area address in common between this system and its neighbors.

level-1-2

A Level 1 and Level 2 adjacency is established if the neighbor is also configured as level-1-2 and there is at least one area in common. If there is no area in common, a Level 2 adjacency is established. This is the default.

level-2-only

A Level 2 adjacency is established if and only if the neighbor is configured exclusively to be a Level 2 router.


Default

A Level 1 and Level 2 adjacency is established.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Example

In the following example, a router is configured to require Level 1 adjacency if there is at least one area address in common between this system and its neighbors:

ip router isis
interface serial 0
isis circuit-type level-1

isis csnp-interval

To configure the IS-IS complete sequence number PDUs (CSNP) interval, use the isis csnp-interval interface configuration command. To restore the default value, use the no form of this command.

isis csnp-interval seconds {level-1 | level-2}
no isis csnp-interval {level-1 | level-2}

Syntax Description

seconds

Interval of time between transmission of CSNPs on multiaccess networks. This interval only applies for the designated router. The default is 10 seconds.

level-1

Configures the interval of time between transmission of CSNPs for Level 1 independently.

level-2

Configures the interval of time between transmission of CSNPs for Level 2 independently.


Default

10 seconds

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command only applies for the designated router (DR) for a specified interface. Only DRs send CSNP packets in order to maintain database synchronization. The CSNP interval can be configured independently for Level 1 and Level 2. This feature does not apply to serial point-to-point interfaces. It does apply to WAN connections if the WAN is viewed as a multiaccess meshed network.

Example

In the following example, serial interface 0 is configured for transmitting CSN PDUs every 5 seconds. The router is configured to act as a station router.

interface serial 0
isis csnp-interval 5 level-1

isis hello-interval

To specify the length of time between Hello packets that the router sends, use the isis hello-interval interface configuration command. To restore the default value, use the no form of this command.

isis hello-interval seconds {level-1 | level-2}
no isis hello-interval {level-1 | level-2}

Syntax Description

seconds

Unsigned integer value. A value three times the Hello interval seconds is advertised as the holdtime in the Hello packets transmitted. It must be the same for all routers attached to a common network. With smaller Hello intervals, topological changes are detected faster, but there is more routing traffic. The default is 10 seconds.

level-1

Configures the Hello interval for Level 1 independently. Use this on X.25, SMDS, and Frame Relay multiaccess networks.

level-2

Configures the Hello interval for Level 2 independently. Use this on X.25, SMDS, and Frame Relay multiaccess networks.


Default

10 seconds

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

The Hello interval can be configured independently for Level 1 and Level 2, except on serial point-to-point interfaces. (Because there is only a single type of Hello packet sent on serial links, it is independent of Level 1 or Level 2.) The level-1 and level-2 keywords are used on X.25, SMDS, and Frame Relay multiaccess networks.

Example

In the following example, serial interface 0 is configured to advertise Hello packets every 5 seconds. The router is configured to act as a station router. This will cause more traffic than configuring a longer interval, but topological changes will be detected faster.

interface serial 0
isis hello-interval 5 level-1

isis metric

To configure the metric for an interface, use the isis metric interface configuration command. To restore the default metric value, use the no form of this command.

isis metric default-metric [delay-metric [expense-metric [error-metric]]] {level-1 | level-2}
no isis metric {level-1 | level-2}

Syntax Description

default-metric

Metric used for the redistributed route. The default metric is used as a value for the IS-IS metric. This is the value assigned when there is no QOS routing performed. Only this metric is supported by Cisco routers. You can configure this metric for Level 1 and/or Level 2 routing. The range is from 0 to 63. The default value is 10.

delay-metric

Not supported.

expense-metric

Not supported.

error-metric

Not supported.

level-1

Router acts as a station router (Level 1) only.

level-2

Router acts as an area router (Level 2) only.


Default

default-metric = 10

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

Specifying the level-1 or level-2 keywords resets the metric only for Level 1 or Level 2 routing, respectively.

Example

In the following example, serial interface 0 is configured for a default link-state metric cost of 15 for Level 1:

interface serial 0
isis metric 15 level-1

isis password

To configure the authentication password for an interface, use the isis password interface configuration command. To disable authentication for IS-IS, use the no form of this command.

isis password password {level-1 | level-2}
no isis password {level-1 | level-2}

Syntax Description

password

Authentication password you assign for an interface.

level-1

Configures the authentication password for Level 1 independently. For Level 1 routing, the router acts as a station router only.

level-2

Configures the authentication password for Level 2 independently. For Level 2 routing, the router acts as an area router only.


Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

Different passwords can be assigned for different routing levels using the level-1 and level-2 keyword arguments.

Specifying the level-1 or level-2 keywords disables the password only for Level 1 or Level 2 routing, respectively. If no keyword is specified, the default is level-1.

Example

The following example configures a password for serial interface 0 at Level 1:

interface serial 0
isis password frank level-1

isis priority

To configure the priority of designated routers, use the isis priority interface configuration command. To reset the default priority, use the no form of this command.

isis priority value {level-1 | level-2}
no isis priority {level-1 | level-2}

Syntax Description

value

Sets the priority of a router and is a number from 0 to 127. The default value is 64.

level-1

Sets the priority of a router for Level 1 independently.

level-2

Sets the priority of a router for Level 2 independently.


Default

Priority of 64

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

Priorities can be configured for Level 1 and Level 2 independently. Specifying the level-1 or
level-2 keywords resets priority only for Level 1 or Level 2 routing, respectively.

Example

The following example shows Level 1 routing given priority by setting the priority level to 50:

interface serial 0
isis priority 50 level-1

isis retransmit-interval

To configure the time between retransmission of IS-IS link-state PDU (LSP) retransmission for point-to-point links, use the isis retransmit-interval interface configuration command. To restore the default value, use the no form of this command.

isis retransmit-interval seconds
no isis retransmit-interval seconds

Syntax Description

seconds

Time in seconds between retransmission of IS-IS LSP retransmissions. It is an integer that should be greater than the expected round-trip delay between any two routers on the attached network. The default is 5 seconds.


Default

5 seconds

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

The setting of the seconds argument should be conservative, or needless retransmission will result. The value should be larger for serial lines and virtual links.

Example

The following example configures serial interface 0 for retransmission of IS-IS LSP every 10 seconds for a large serial line:

interface serial 0
isis retransmit-interval 10

is-type

To configure the IS-IS level at which the router operates, use the is-type router configuration command. To reset the default value, use the no form of this command.

is-type {level-1 | level-1-2 | level-2-only}
no is-type {level-1 | level-1-2 | level-2-only}

Syntax Description

level-1

Router acts as a station router.

level-1-2

Router acts as both a station router and an area router.

level-2-only

Router acts as an area router only.


Default

Router acts as both a station router and an area router.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Example

The following example specifies an area router:

router isis 
is-type level-2-only

match as-path

To match a BGP autonomous system path access list, use the match as-path route-map configuration command. To remove a path list entry, the no form of this command.

match as-path path-list-number
no match as-path path-list-number

Syntax Description

path-list-number

Autonomous system path access list. An integer from 1 through 199.


Default

No path lists are defined.

Command Mode

Route-map configuration

Usage Guidelines

The values set by the match and set commands override global values. For example, the weights assigned with the match as-path and set weight route-map commands override the weights assigned using the neighbor weight and neighbor filter-list commands.

A route map can have several parts. Any route that does not match at least one match clause relating to a route-map command will be ignored; that is, the route will not be advertised for outbound route maps and will not be accepted for inbound route maps. If you want to modify only some data, you must configure a second route-map section with an explicit match specified.

The implemented weight is based on the first matched autonomous system path.

Example

In the following example, the autonomous system path is set to match BGP autonomous system path access list 20:

route-map igp2bgp
match as-path 20

To match a BGP community, use the match community-list route-map configuration command. To remove the community list entry, use the no form of this command.

match community-list community-list-number [exact]
no match community-list community-list-number [exact]

Syntax Description

community-list-number

Community list number in the range from 1 through 99.

exact

(Optional) Indicates an exact match is required. All of the communities and only those communities in the community list must be present.


Default

No community list is defined.

Command Mode

Route-map configuration

Usage Guidelines

A route map can have several parts. Any route that does not match at least one match clause relating to a route-map command will be ignored; that is, the route will not be advertised for outbound route maps and will not be accepted for inbound route maps. If you want to modify only some data, you must configure a second route-map section with an explicit match specified.

Matching based on community list is one of the types of match clauses applicable to BGP.

Examples

In the following example, the routes that match community list 1 will have the weight set to 100. Any route that has community 109 will have the weight set to 100.

ip community-list 1 permit 109
!
route-map set_weight
match community-list 1
set weight 100

In the following example, the routes that match community list 1 will have the weight set to 200. Any route that has community 109 alone will have the weight set to 200.

ip community-list 1 permit 109
!
route-map set_weight
match community-list 1 exact
set weight 200

match interface

To distribute any routes that have their next hop out one of the interfaces specified, use the match interface route-map configuration command. To remove the match interface entry, use the no form of this command.

match interface type number...type number
no match interface type number...type number

Syntax Description

type

Interface type.

number

Interface number.


Default

No match interfaces are defined.

Command Mode

Route-map configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use the route-map global configuration command, and the match and set route-map configuration commands, to define the conditions for redistributing routes from one routing protocol into another. Each route-map command has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria—the conditions under which redistribution is allowed for the current route-map. The set commands specify the set actions—the particular redistribution actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met. The no route-map command deletes the route map.

The match route-map configuration command has multiple formats. The match commands may be given in any order, and all match commands must "pass" to cause the route to be redistributed according to the set actions given with the set commands. The no forms of the match commands remove the specified match criteria.

match ip address

To distribute any routes that have a destination network number address that is permitted by a standard access list, or to perform policy routing on packets, use the match ip address route-map configuration command. To remove the match ip address entry, use the no form of this command.

match ip address access-list-number...access-list-number
no match ip address access-list-number...access-list-number

Syntax Description

access-list-number

Number of an access list. It can be an integer from 1 through 99. It can be an extended access list for policy routing.


Default

No access list numbers are specified.

Command Mode

Route-map configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use route maps to redistribute routes or to subject packets to policy routing. Both purposes are described in this section.

Redistribution

Use the route-map global configuration command, and the match and set route-map configuration commands, to define the conditions for redistributing routes from one routing protocol into another. Each route-map command has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria—the conditions under which redistribution is allowed for the current route-map. The set commands specify the set actions—the particular redistribution actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met. The no route-map command deletes the route map.

The match route-map configuration command has multiple formats. The related match commands are listed in the section " Related Commands for Redistribution." The match commands can be given in any order, and all match commands must "pass" to cause the route to be redistributed according to the set actions given with the set commands. The no forms of the match commands remove the specified match criteria.

When you are passing routes through a route map, a route map can have several parts. Any route that does not match at least one match clause relating to a route-map command will be ignored; that is, the route will not be advertised for outbound route maps and will not be accepted for inbound route maps. If you want to modify only some data, you must configure a second route-map section with an explicit match specified.

Policy Routing

Another purpose of route maps is to enable policy routing. Use the ip policy route-map interface configuration command, in addition to the route-map global configuration command, and the match and set route-map configuration commands to define the conditions for policy routing packets. Each route-map command has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The related match and set commands are listed in the section " Related Commands for Policy Routing." The match commands specify the match criteria—the conditions under which policy routing occurs. The set commands specify the set actions—the particular routing actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met. You might want to policy route packets based on their source, for example, using an access list.

Examples

In the following example, routes that have addresses specified by access list numbers 5 and 80 will be distributed:

route-map name
match ip address 5 80

In the following policy routing example, packets that have addresses specified by access list numbers 6 and 25 will be routed to Ethernet interface 0:

interface serial 0
ip policy route-map chicago
!
route-map chicago
match ip address 6 25 
set interface ethernet 0

no match ip next-hop access-list-number...access-list-number

Syntax Description

access-list-number

Number of an access list. It can be an integer from 1 through 99.


Default

Routes are distributed freely, without being required to match a next-hop address.

Command Mode

Route-map configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use the route-map global configuration command, and the match and set route-map configuration commands, to define the conditions for redistributing routes from one routing protocol into another. Each route-map command has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria—the conditions under which redistribution is allowed for the current route-map. The set commands specify the set actions—the particular redistribution actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met. The no route-map command deletes the route map.

match ip route-source access-list-number...access-list-number
no match ip route-source access-list-number...access-list-number

Syntax Description

access-list-number

Number of an access list. It can be an integer from 1 through 99.


Default

No filtering on route source.

Command Mode

Route-map configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use the route-map global configuration command, and the match and set route-map configuration commands, to define the conditions for redistributing routes from one routing protocol into another. Each route-map command has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria— the conditions under which redistribution is allowed for the current route-map.

If you want to modify only some data, you must configure second route-map section with an explicit match specified.

There are situations in which a route's next hop and source router address are not the same.

Example

In the following example, routes that have been advertised by routers at the addresses specified by access lists 5 and 80 will be distributed:

route-map name
match ip route-source 5 80

match length

To base policy routing on the Level 3 length of a packet, use the match length route-map configuration command. To remove the entry, use the no form of this command.

match length min max
no match length min max

Syntax Description

min

Minimum Level 3 length of the packet, inclusive, allowed for a match. Range is 0 through 0x7FFFFFFF.

max

Maximum Level 3 length of the packet, inclusive, allowed for a match. Range is 0 through 0x7FFFFFFF.


Default

No policy routing on the length of a packet.

Command Mode

Route-map configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use the ip policy route-map interface configuration command, the route-map global configuration command, and the match and set route-map configuration commands, to define the conditions for policy routing packets. The ip policy route-map command identifies a route map by name. Each route-map has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria—the conditions under which policy routing occurs. The set commands specify the set actions—the particular routing actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met.

The match route-map configuration command has multiple formats. The match commands can be given in any order, and all match commands must "pass" to cause the packet to be routed according to the set actions given with the set commands. The no forms of the match commands remove the specified match criteria.

You might want to base your policy routing on the length of packets so that your interactive traffic and bulk traffic are directed to different routers.

Example

In the following example, packets 3 to 200 bytes long, inclusive, will be routed to FDDI interface 0.

interface serial 0
ip policy route-map interactive
!
route-map interactive
match length 3 200
set interface fddi 0

match metric

To redistribute routes with the metric specified, use the match metric route-map configuration command. To remove the entry, use the no form of this command.

match metric metric-value
no match metric metric-value

Syntax Description

metric-value

Route metric, which can be an IGRP five-part metric. It is a metric value from 0 through 4294967295.


Default

No filtering on a metric value.

Command Mode

Route-map configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use the route-map global configuration command, and the match and set route-map configuration commands, to define the conditions for redistributing routes from one routing protocol into another. Each route-map command has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria—the conditions under which redistribution is allowed for the current route-map. The set commands specify the set actions—the particular redistribution actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met. The no route-map command deletes the route map.

The match route-map configuration command has multiple formats. The match commands may be given in any order, and all match commands must "pass" to cause the route to be redistributed according to the set actions given with the set commands. The no forms of the match commands remove the specified match criteria.

A route map can have several parts. Any route that does not match at least one match clause relating to a route-map command will be ignored; that is, the route will not be advertised for outbound route maps and will not be accepted for inbound route maps. If you want to modify only some data, you must configure second route-map section with an explicit match specified.

Command Mode

Route-map configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use the route-map global configuration command, and the match and set route-map configuration commands, to define the conditions for redistributing routes from one routing protocol into another. Each route-map command has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria—the conditions under which redistribution is allowed for the current route-map. The set commands specify the set actions—the particular redistribution actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met. The no route-map command deletes the route map.

maximum-paths

To control the maximum number of parallel routes an IP routing protocol can support, use the maximum-paths router configuration command. To restore the default value, use the no form of this command.

maximum-paths maximum
no maximum-paths

Syntax Description

maximum

Maximum number of parallel routes an IP routing protocol installs in a routing table, in the range 1 to 6. However, BGP supports only one path.


Defaults

The default for BGP is 1 path. The default for all other IP routing protocols is 4 paths.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

Example

The following example allows a maximum of 2 paths to a destination:

maximum-paths 2

mbranch

To trace a branch of a multicast tree for a specific group, use the mbranch EXEC command.

mbranch {group-address | group-name} branch [ttl]

Syntax Description

group-address

Address of the multicast group. This is a multicast IP address in four-part dotted notation.

group-name

Name of the multicast group, as defined in the DNS hosts table or with the ip host command.

branch

Address or name of a router that is on the tree branch. The address is a unicast IP address in four-part dotted notation.

ttl

(Optional) Time-to-live value, in hops, that is used in trace request packets sent to the branch router. The default value is 30.


Command Mode

EXEC

Usage Guidelines

The mbranch command sends multicast IGMP trace request packets to the specified branch router. It displays information about the branch starting with the local (requesting) router and ending with the branch router. This is considered to be the forward direction.

The information returned shows how a multicast packet sourced by this router will be forwarded by each router on the path to the router with the branch address.

The router with the address branch-address is the only router that responds to the trace request packets. The response is unicast to the source.

It is important to specify a value for the ttl argument if you are tracing through a router on which a multicast threshold has been set with the ip multicast ttl-threshold interface configuration command.

Sample Display

The following is sample output from the mbranch command. This trace is between the same routers as shown in the example for the mbranch command. Note the order of responses. Also note that the outgoing interface list is the same.

Table 19-3 Mbranch Field Descriptions

Field
Description

Response from 10.17.118.10

Address of the router from which the response to the trace request packets came. This is a different interface on the router to which you sent the packet.

76 msec

How long it took to receive the response.

1

Order number of routers in the trace path. In this example, the request went through 3 routers to reach the router that responded to the request.

PIM9 (10.1.22.9) <- PIM2 (10.1.37.2)

Route of the trace request. In this example, the request went from the router PIM2 to the router PIM9 (PIM2 is considered to be PIM9's RPF neighbor), then from PIM9 to PIM-CR, and finally to the router at 10.17.118.10.

Interface list: 131.108.62.0/24 131.108.22.0/24 10.7.0.0/16

Interfaces out which a multicast packet forwarded by the router listed on the right side of the previous line (here, PIM2) will be forwarded. In this example, you interpret this line as follows: When the trace packet reached PIM9, it was replicated three times and one copy was sent out each of the three interfaces listed (131.108.62.0, 131.108.22.0, and 10.7.0.0). The interface list shows the subnet number and the mask rather than the interface name. This allows you to more easily figure out the packet's path because you can connect all like-numbered subnets together as a tree in order to detect loops. The source of the multicast packet is always the address of the router that started the mbranch (in this case, 10.1.37.2). The list does not include interfaces that failed access list conditions or TTL threshold criteria.

metric holddown

To keep new IGRP routing information from being used for a certain period of time, use the metric holddown router configuration command. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

metric holddown
no metric holddown

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

Holddown keeps new routing information from being used for a certain period of time. This can prevent routing loops caused by slow convergence. It is sometimes advantageous to disable holddown to increase the network's ability to quickly respond to topology changes; this command provides this function.

Use the metric holddown command if other routers within the IGRP autonomous system are not configured with no metric holddown. If all routers are not configured the same way, you increase the possibility of routing loops.

Example

The following example disables metric holddown:

router igrp 15
network 131.108.0.0
network 192.31.7.0
no metric holddown

Related Commands

metric maximum-hops

metric maximum-hops

To have the IP routing software to advertise as unreachable those routes with a hop count higher than is specified by the command (IGRP only), use the metric maximum-hops router configuration command. To reset the value to the default, use the no form of this command.

metric maximum-hops hops
no metric maximum-hops hops

Syntax Description

hops

Maximum hop count (in decimal). The default value is 100 hops; the maximum number of hops that can be specified is 255.


Default

100 hops

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command provides a safety mechanism that breaks any potential count-to-infinity problems. It causes the IP routing software to advertise as unreachable routes with a hop count greater than the value assigned to the hops argument.

Example

In the following example, a router in autonomous system 71 attached to network 15.0.0.0 wants a maximum hop count of 200, doubling the default. The network administrators decided to do this because they have a complex WAN that can generate a large hop count under normal (nonlooping) operations.

router igrp 71
network 15.0.0.0
metric maximum-hops 200

Related Commands

metric weights

To allow the tuning of the IGRP or Enhanced IGRP metric calculations, use the metric weights router configuration command. To reset the values to their defaults, use the no form of this command.

metric weights tos k1 k2 k3 k4 k5
no metric weights

Syntax Description

tos

Type of service. Currently, it must always be zero.

k1-k5

Constants that convert an IGRP or enhanced IGRP metric vector into a scalar quantity.


Default

tos: 0
k1: 1
k2: 0
k3: 1
k4: 0
k5: 0

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to alter the default behavior of IGRP routing and metric computation and allow the tuning of the IGRP metric calculation for a particular type of service (TOS).

If k5 equals 0, the composite IGRP or enhanced IGRP metric is computed according to the following formula:

metric = [k1 * bandwidth + (k2 * bandwidth)/(256 - load) + k3 * delay]

If k5 does not equal zero, an additional operation is done:

metric = metric * [k5 / (reliability + k4)]

Bandwidth is inverse minimum bandwidth of the path in bits per second scaled by a factor of 2.56 ¥ 1012. The range is from a 1200-bps line to 10 terabits per second.

Delay is in units of 10 microseconds. This gives a range of 10 microseconds to 168 seconds. A delay of all ones indicates that the network is unreachable.

The delay parameter is stored in a 32-bit field, in increments of 39.1 nanoseconds. This gives a range of 1 (39.1 nanoseconds) to hexadecimal FFFFFFFF (decimal 4,294,967,040 nanoseconds). A delay of all ones (that is, a delay of hexadecimal FFFFFFFF) indicates that the network is unreachable.

mrbranch

To trace a branch of a multicast tree for a group in the reverse direction, use the mrbranch EXEC command.

mrbranch {group-address | group-name} branch-address [ttl]

Syntax Description

group-address

Address of the multicast group. This is a multicast IP address in four-part dotted notation.

group-name

Name of the multicast group, as defined in the DNS hosts table or with the ip host command.

branch-address

Address of a router on the tree branch. This is a unicast IP address in four-part dotted notation.

ttl

(Optional) Time-to-live value, in hops, that is used in trace request packets sent to the branch router. The default value is 30.


Command Mode

EXEC

Usage Guidelines

The mrbranch command sends trace request packets to the specified branch router. Queries are sent recursively to all the routers in the branch. This command displays information about the branch starting with the router farthest away and working towards the requesting router. This is considered to be the reverse direction.

The information returned shows how a multicast packet sourced by this router will be forwarded by each router along the branch.

The router with the address branch-address responds to the trace request packets. The requesting router then sends a query to the router that is the first router's RPF neighbor. Both the request and response packets have unicast addresses.

The number of packets generated by this command is two times the number of routers between the source router and the specified branch router.

Sample Output

The following is sample output from the mrbranch command. This example is between the same router as shown in the mbranch command. Note the order of the responses. Also note that the outgoing interface list is the same.

neighbor (EGP, IGRP, RIP)

To define a neighboring router with which to exchange routing information, use this form of the neighbor router configuration command. To remove an entry, use the no form of this command.

neighbor ip-address
no neighbor ip-address

Syntax Description

ip-address

IP address of a peer router with which routing information will be exchanged.


Default

No neighboring routers are defined.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

For exterior routing protocol EGP, this command specifies routing peers. For normally broadcast protocols such as IGRP or RIP, this command permits the point-to-point (nonbroadcast) exchange of routing information. When used in combination with the passive-interface router configuration command, routing information can be exchanged between a subset of routers on a LAN.

Multiple neighbor commands can be used to specify additional neighbors or peers.

OSPF has its own version of the neighbor command. See the neighbor (OSPF) command page in this chapter.

Examples

The following example establishes an EGP neighbor:

autonomous-system 109
router egp 110
neighbor 131.108.1.1

In the following example, IGRP updates are sent to all interfaces on network 131.108.0.0 except interface Ethernet 1. However, in this case a neighbor router configuration command is included. This command permits the sending of routing updates to specific neighbors. One copy of the routing update is generated per neighbor.

router igrp 109
network 131.108.0.0
passive-interface ethernet 1
neighbor 131.108.20.4

Related Command

neighbor (OSPF)

To configure OSPF routers interconnecting to nonbroadcast networks, use this form of the neighbor router configuration command. To remove a configuration, use the no form of this command.

neighbor ip-address [priority number] [poll-interval seconds]
no neighbor ip-address [priority number] [poll-interval seconds]

Syntax Description

ip-address

Interface IP address of the neighbor.

number

(Optional) 8-bit number indicating the router priority value of the nonbroadcast neighbor associated with the IP address specified. The default is 0.

seconds

(Optional) Unsigned integer value reflecting the poll interval. RFC 1247 recommends that this value be much larger than the Hello interval. The default is 2 minutes (120 seconds).


Default

No configuration is specified.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

X.25 and Frame Relay provide an optional broadcast capability that can be configured in the map to allow OSPF to run as a broadcast network. At the OSPF level you can configure the router as a broadcast network. See the x25 map and frame-relay map commands in "X.25 Commands" and "Frame Relay Commands" chapters, respectively, for more detail.

One neighbor entry must be included in the router's configuration for each known nonbroadcast network neighbor. The neighbor address has to be on the primary address of the interface.

If a neighboring router has become inactive (Hello packets have not been seen for the Router Dead Interval period), it may still be necessary to send Hello packets to the dead neighbor. These Hello packets will be sent at a reduced rate called Poll Interval.

When the router first starts up, it sends only Hello packets to those routers with non-zero priority, that is, routers which are eligible to become designated routers (DR) and backup designated routers (BDR). After DR and BDR are selected, DR and BDR will then start sending Hello packets to all neighbors in order to form adjacencies.

Example

The following example declares a router at address 131.108.3.4 on a nonbroadcast network, with a priority of 1 and a poll-interval of 180:

router ospf
neighbor 131.108.3.4 priority 1 poll-interval 180

Related Command

neighbor advertisement-interval

To set the minimum interval between the sending of BGP routing updates, use the neighbor advertisement-interval router configuration command. To remove an entry, use the no form of this command.

neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} advertisement-interval seconds
no neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} advertisement-interval seconds

Syntax Description

ip-address

Neighbor's IP address.

peer-group-name

Name of a BGP peer group.

seconds

Time in seconds. Integer from 0 through 600.


Default

30 seconds for external peers and 5 seconds for internal peers.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

If you specify a BGP peer group by using the peer-group-name argument, all of the members of the peer group will inherit the characteristic configued with this command.

Example

In the following example, the minimum time between sending BGP routing updates is set to 10 seconds:

router bgp 5
neighbor 4.4.4.4 advertisement-interval 10

Related Command

neighbor peer-group (creating)

neighbor any

To control how neighbor entries are added to the routing table for both EGP and BGP, use the neighbor any router configuration command. To remove a configuration, use the no form of this command.

neighbor any [access-list-number]
no neighbor any [access-list-number]

Syntax Description

access-list-number

(Optional) Access list number the neighbor must be accepted by to be allowed to peer with the EGP or BGP process. If no list is specified, any neighbor will be allowed to peer with the router.


Default

No configuration is specified.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Example

In the following example, only neighbors permitted by access list 1 are allowed to peer with the local router:

access-list 1 permit 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
! global access list assignment
router egp 0

internal

(Optional) Indicates that the third-party router should be listed in the internal section of the EGP update.

external

(Optional) Indicates that the third-party router should be listed in the external section of the EGP update.


Default

No EGP process is configured.

Command Mode

neighbor configure-neighbors

To have the router treat temporary neighbors that have been accepted by a template as if they had been configured manually, use the neighbor configure-neighbors router configuration command. To restore the default, use the no form of this command.

neighbor template-name configure-neighbors
no neighbor template-name configure-neighbors

Syntax Description

template-name

User-selectable designation that identifies a particular template. This can be an arbitrary word.


Default

New neighbors are treated as temporary.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

Under normal circumstances, neighbors that are allowed to connect to the router because you had configured a template are treated as temporary. When a temporary neighbor disconnects, the local router will not try to actively reestablish a connection with it. In addition, information about temporary neighbors will not show up in the router configuration (write terminal).

When configure-neighbors is enabled on a particular template, any neighbor accepted by that template will be treated as if it had been manually configured. These neighbors will show up in write terminal displays and will be written to the nonvolatile configuration if a write memory command is issued.

Example

In the following example, any BGP speaker matching access list 7 can connect to the router and exchange information. Any neighbor that connects will be treated as if it had been manually configured.

access-list 7 permit 168.89.3.0 0.0.0.255
neighbor internal-ethernet neighbor-list 7
neighbor internal-ethernet configure-neighbors

Related Command

neighbor neighbor-list

neighbor default-originate

To allow a BGP speaker (the local router) to send the default route 0.0.0.0 to a neighbor for use as a default route, use the neighbor default-originate router configuration command. To remove the default route, use the no form of this command.

neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} default-originate [route-map map-name]
no neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} default-originate [route-map map-name]

Syntax Description

ip-address

Neighbor's IP address.

peer-group-name

Name of a BGP peer group.

map-name

(Optional) Name of the route map. The route map allows route 0.0.0.0 to be injected conditionally.


Default

No default route is sent to the neighbor.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command does not require the presence of 0.0.0.0 in the local router. When used with a route map, the default route 0.0.0.0 is injected if the route map contains a match ip address clause and there is a route that matches the IP access list exactly. The route map can contain other match clauses also.

Examples

In the following example, the local router injects route 0.0.0.0 to the neighbor 160.89.2.3 unconditionally:

router bgp 109
network 160.89.0.0
neighbor 160.89.2.3 remote-as 200
neighbor 160.89.2.3 default-originate

In the following example, the local router injects route 0.0.0.0 to the neighbor 160.89.2.3 only if there is a route to 198.92.68.0:

router bgp 109
network 160.89.0.0
neighbor 160.89.2.3 remote-as 200
neighbor 160.89.2.3 default-originate route-map default-map
!
route-map default-map 10 permit
match ip address 1
!
access-list 1 permit 198.92.68.0

neighbor distribute-list

To distribute BGP neighbor information as specified in an access list, use the neighbor distribute-list router configuration command. To remove an entry, use the no form of this command.

neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} distribute-list access-list-number {in | out}
no neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} distribute-list access-list-number {in | out}

Syntax Description

ip-address

Neighbor's IP address.

peer-group-name

Name of a BGP peer group.

access-list-number

Predefined access list number. Only standard access lists can be used with this command.

in

Access list is applied to incoming advertisements to that neighbor.

out

Access list is applied to outgoing advertisements from that neighbor.


Default

No BGP neighbor is specified.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

Using distribute lists is one of two ways to filter BGP advertisements. The other way is to use AS-path filters, as with the ip as-path access-list global configuration command and the neighbor filter-list command.

If you specify a BGP peer group by using the peer-group-name argument, all of the members of the peer group will inherit the characteristic configured with this command. Specifying the command with an IP address will override the value inherited from the peer group.

Example

The following example applies list 39 to incoming advertisements to neighbor 120.23.4.1:

router bgp 109
network 131.108.0.0
neighbor 120.23.4.1 distribute-list 39 in

Related Commands

neighbor ebgp-multihop

To accept and attempt BGP connections to external peers residing on networks that are not directly connected, use the neighbor ebgp-multihop router configuration command. To return to the default, use the no form of this command.

neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} ebgp-multihop [ttl]
no neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} ebgp-multihop

Syntax Description

ip-address

IP address of the BGP-speaking neighbor.

peer-group-name

Name of a BGP peer group.

ttl

Time-to-live in the range 1 to 255 hops.


Default

Only directly connected neighbors are allowed.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

This feature should only be used under the guidance of technical support staff.

If you specify a BGP peer group by using the peer-group-name argument, all of the members of the peer group will inherit the characteristic configured with this command.

Example

The following example allows connections to or from neighbor 131.108.1.1, which resides on a network that is not directly connected:

router bgp 109
neighbor 131.108.1.1 ebgp-multihop

Related Command

neighbor peer-group (creating)

neighbor filter-list

To set up a BGP filter, use the neighbor filter-list router configuration command. To disable this function, use the no form of this command.

neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} filter-list access-list-number {in | out |
weight weight}
no neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} filter-list access-list-number {in | out |
weight weight}

Syntax Description

ip-address

IP address of the neighbor.

peer-group-name

Name of a BGP peer group.

access-list-number

Number of an autonomous system path access list. You define this access list with the ip as-path access-list command.

in

Access list to incoming routes.

out

Access list to outgoing routes.

weight weight

Assigns a relative importance to incoming routes matching autonomous system paths. Acceptable values are 0 to 65535.


Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command establishes filters on both inbound and outbound BGP routes. Any number of weight filters are allowed on a per-neighbor basis, but only one in or out filter is allowed. The weight of a route affects BGP's route-selection rules.

The implemented weight is based on the first matched autonomous system path. Weights indicated when an autonomous system path is matched override the weights assigned by global neighbor commands. In other words, the weights assigned with the match as-path and set weight route-map commands override the weights assigned using the neighbor weight and neighbor filter-list commands.

See the "Regular Expressions" appendix for information on forming regular expressions.

If you specify a BGP peer group by using the peer-group-name argument, all of the members of the peer group will inherit the characteristic configured with this command. Specifying the command with an IP address will override the value inherited from the peer group.

Example

In the following example, the BGP neighbor with IP address 128.125.1.1 is not sent advertisements about any path through or from the adjacent autonomous system 123:

ip as-path access-list 1 deny _123_
ip as-path access-list 1 deny ^123$

router bgp 109
network 131.108.0.0
neighbor 129.140.6.6 remote-as 123
neighbor 128.125.1.1 remote-as 47
neighbor 128.125.1.1 filter-list 1 out

neighbor neighbor-list

To configure BGP to support anonymous neighbor peers by configuring a neighbor template, use the neighbor neighbor-list router configuration command. To delete a template, use the no form of this command.

neighbor template-name neighbor-list access-list-number
no neighbor template-name neighbor-list

Syntax Description

template-name

User-selectable designation that identifies a particular template (an arbitrary word).

access-list-number

Number of an access list. It can be a number in the range 1 through 99.


Default

No configuration is defined.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

To specify a group of anonymous neighbors, configure a neighbor template rather than specifically configure each neighbor. The template allows you to specify an IP access list which defines remote systems that can establish a BGP connection to the router. External BGP peers must be on a directly connected Ethernet unless they are overridden by the neighbor ebgp-multihop command.

Once you specify a template, you configure the template as if it were a regular neighbor entry, such as setting the protocol version or filter lists, so that anonymous neighbors accepted by the template will receive the settings of the template.

These neighbors accepted by the template appear in the show ip bgp summary and show ip bgp neighbors displays, although they do not appear in the router configuration. When the session is disconnected, all knowledge about the neighbor is discarded and the router will not attempt to actively reestablish a connection.

You can use the neighbor configure-neighbors command to request that the router treat peers learned through a template as if they were manually configured neighbors. These peers will then show up in write terminal displays and can be stored as part of the nonvolatile configuration.

The no neighbor neighbor-list command deletes the template and cause any temporary neighbors accepted by the template to be shut down and removed.

Examples

In the following example, any BGP speaker from 168.89.3.0 can connect to the router and exchange information:

access-list 7 permit 168.89.3.0 0.0.0.255
neighbor internal-ethernet neighbor-list 7
neighbor internal-ethernet configure-neighbors

In the following example, any BGP speaker in the connected internet can establish a BGP connection to the local router, and the local router will send them routing information. However, the distribute-list clause instructs the local router to ignore all information these remote BGP speakers send to it.

access-list 9 permit 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255
access-list 10 deny 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255
neighbor route-server-peers neighbor-list 9

neighbor next-hop-self

To disable next-hop processing of BGP updates on the router, use the neighbor next-hop-self router configuration command. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} next-hop-self
no neighbor {ip-address || peer-group-name} next-hop-self

Syntax Description

ip-address

IP address of the BGP-speaking neighbor.

peer-group-name

Name of a BGP peer group.


Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command is useful in nonmeshed networks such as Frame Relay or X.25 where BGP neighbors may not have direct access to all other neighbors on the same IP subnet.

If you specify a BGP peer group by using the peer-group-name argument, all of the members of the peer group will inherit the characteristic configured with this command. Specifying the command with an IP address will override the value inherited from the peer group.

Example

The following example forces all updates destined for 131.108.1.1 to advertise this router as the next hop:

router bgp 109
neighbor 131.108.1.1 next-hop-self

Related Command

neighbor peer-group (creating)

neighbor password

To enable MD5 authentication on a TCP connection between two BGP peers, use the neighbor password router configuration command. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} password string
no neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} password

Syntax Description

ip-address

IP address of the BGP-speaking neighbor.

peer-group-name

Name of a BGP peer group.

string

Case-sensitive password of up to 80 characters. The first character cannot be a number. The string can contain any alphanumeric characters, including spaces. You cannot specify a password in the format number-space-anything. The space after the number causes problems.


Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

You can invoke authentication between two BGP peers, causing each segment sent on the TCP connection between them to be verified. This feature must be configured with the same password on both BGP peers; otherwise, the connection between them will not be made. The authentication feature uses the MD5 algorithm. Specifying this command causes the generation and checking of the MD5 digest on every segment sent on the TCP connection.

Configuring a password for a neighbor will cause an existing session to be torn down and a new one established.

If you specify a BGP peer group by using the peer-group-name argument, all of the members of the peer group will inherit the characteristic configured with this command.

If a router has a password configured for a neighbor, but the neighbor router does not, a message like the following will appear on the console while the routers attempt to establish a BGP session between them:

%TCP-6-BADAUTH: No MD5 digest from [peer's IP address]:11003 to [local router's 
IP address]:179

Similarly, if the two routers have different passwords configured, a message like the following will appear on the console:

%TCP-6-BADAUTH: Invalid MD5 digest from [peer's IP address]:11004 to [local router's 
IP address]:179

Example

The following example enables the authentication feature between this router and the BGP neighbor at 131.102.1.1. The password that must also be configured for the neighbor is bla4u00=2nkq.

router bgp 109
neighbor 131.108.1.1 password bla4u00=2nkq

Related Command

neighbor peer-group (creating)

neighbor peer-group (creating)

To create a BGP peer group, use the neighbor peer-group router configuration command. To remove the peer group and all of its members, use the no form of this command.

neighbor peer-group-name peer-group
no neighbor peer-group-name peer-group

Syntax Description

peer-group-name

Name of the BGP peer group.


Default

There is no BGP peer group.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

Often in a BGP speaker, there are many neighbors configured with the same update policies (that is, same outbound route maps, distribute lists, filter lists, update source, and so on). Neighbors with the same update policies can be grouped into peer groups to simplify configuration and make update calculation more efficient.

Once a peer group is created with the neighbor peer-group command, it can be configured with the neighbor commands. By default, members of the peer group inherit all of the configuration options of the peer group. Members can also be configured to override the options that do not affect outbound updates.

Peer group members will always inherit the following: remote-as (if configured), version, update-source, out-route-map, out-filter-list, out-dist-list, minimum-advertisement-interval, and next-hop-self. All of the peer group members will inherit changes made to the peer group.

If a peer group is not configured with a remote-as, the members can be configured with the neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} remote-as command. This allows you to create peer groups containing EBGP neighbors.

Example for an IBGP Peer Group

In the following example, the peer group named internal configures the members of the peer group to be IBGP neighbors. By definition, this is an IBGP peer group because the router bgp command and the neighbor remote-as command indicate the same autonomous system (in this case, AS 100). All the peer group members use loopback 0 as the update source and use set-med as the outbound route-map. The inbound filter-list command shows that except 171.69.232.55 all the neighbor has filter-list 2 as the inbound filter list.

router bgp 100
neighbor internal peer-group
neighbor internal remote-as 100
neighbor internal update-source loopback 0
neighbor internal route-map set-med out
neighbor internal filter-list 1 out
neighbor internal filter-list 2 in
neighbor 171.69.232.53 peer-group internal
neighbor 171.69.232.54 peer-group internal
neighbor 171.69.232.55 peer-group internal
neighbor 171.69.232.55 filter-list 3 in

Example for an EBGP Peer Group

In the following example, the peer group external-peers is defined without the neighbor remote-as command. This is what makes it an EBGP peer group. Each individaul member of the peer group is configured with its respective AS-number separately. Thus the peer group consists of members from autonomous systems 200, 300 and 400. All the peer group members have set-metric route map as an outbound route map and filter-list 99 as an outbound filter list. Except for neighbor 171.69.232.110, all of them have 101 as the inbound filter list.

router bgp 100
neighbor external-peers peer-group
neighbor external-peers route-map set-metric out
neigbhor external-peers filter-list 99 out
neighbor external-peers filter-list 101 in
neighbor 171.69.232.90 remote-as 200

no neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} remote-as number

Syntax Description

ip-address

Neighbor's IP address.

peer-group-name

Name of a BGP peer group.

number

Autonomous system to which the neighbor belongs.


Default

There are no BGP neighbor peers.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

Specifying a neighbor with an autonomous system number that matches the autonomous system number specified in the router bgp global configuration command identifies the neighbor as internal to the local autonomous system. Otherwise, the neighbor is considered external.

If you specify a BGP peer group by using the peer-group-name argument, all of the members of the peer group will inherit the characteristic configured with this command.

Examples

The following example specifies that the router at the address 131.108.1.2 is a neighbor in autonomous system number 109:

router bgp 110
network 131.108.0.0
neighbor 131.108.1.2 remote-as 109

In the following example, a BGP router is assigned to autonomous system 109, and two networks are listed as originating in the autonomous system. Then the addresses of three remote routers (and their autonomous systems) are listed. The router being configured will share information about networks 131.108.0.0 and 192.31.7.0 with the neighbor routers. The first router listed is in the same Class B network address space, but in a different autonomous system; the second neighbor command illustrates specification of an internal neighbor (with the same autonomous system number) at address 131.108.234.2; and the last neighbor command specifies a neighbor on a different network.

router bgp 109
network 131.108.0.0
network 192.31.7.0
neighbor 131.108.200.1  remote-as 167
neighbor 131.108.234.2  remote-as 109

out

Apply to outgoing routes.


Default

No route maps are applied to a peer.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

If an outbound route map is specified, it is proper behavior to only advertise routes that match at least one section of the route map.

If you specify a BGP peer group by using the peer-group-name argument, all of the members of the peer group will inherit the characteristic configured with this command. Specifying the command with an IP address will override the value inherited from the peer group.

Example

In the following example, route map "internal-map" is applied to incoming route from 198.92.70.24:

router bgp 5
neighbor 198.92.70.24 route-map internal-map in
!
route-map internal-map

neighbor third-party

To send updates regarding EGP third-party routers, use the neighbor third-party router configuration command. To disable these updates, use the no form of this command.

neighbor ip-address third-party third-party-ip-address [internal | external]
no neighbor ip-address third-party third-party-ip-address [internal | external]

Syntax Description

ip-address

IP address of the EGP peer.

third-party-ip-address

Address of the third-party router on the network shared by the Cisco router and the EGP peer specified by address.

internal

(Optional) Indicates that the third-party router should be listed in the internal section of the EGP update. This is the default.

external

(Optional) Indicates that the third-party router should be listed in the external section of the EGP update.


Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

Using this third-party mechanism, EGP tells its peer that another router (the third party) on the shared network is the appropriate router for some set of destinations. If updates mentioning third-party routers are desired, use this command.

All networks reachable through the third-party router will be listed in the EGP updates as reachable by the router. The optional internal and external keywords indicate whether the third-party router should be listed in the internal or external section of the EGP update. Normally, all networks are mentioned in the internal section.

This command can be used multiple times to specify additional third-party routers.

Examples

In the following example, routes learned from router 131.108.6.99 will be advertised to 131.108.6.5 as third-party internal routes:

neighbor 131.108.6.5  third-party 131.108.6.99 internal

In the following example, routes learned from 131.108.6.100 will be advertised to 131.108.6.5 as third-party external routes:

neighbor 131.108.6.5 third-party 131.108.6.100 external

neighbor update-source

To have the router allow internal BGP sessions to use any operational interface for TCP connections, use the neighbor update-source router configuration command. To restore the interface assignment to the closest interface, which is called the best local address, use the no form of this command

neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} update-source interface
no neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} update-source interface

Syntax Description

ip-address

IP address of the BGP-speaking neighbor.

peer-group-name

Name of a BGP peer group.

interface

Loopback interface.


Default

Best local address

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

This feature works in conjunction with the loopback interface feature described in the "Configuring Interfaces" chapter of the Router Products Configuration Guide.

If you specify a BGP peer group by using the peer-group-name argument, all of the members of the peer group will inherit the characteristic configured with this command.

Example

In the following example, BGP TCP connections for the specified neighbor will be sourced with loopback interface's IP address rather than the best-local-address:

router bgp 110
network 160.89.0.0
neighbor 160.89.2.3 remote-as 110
neighbor 160.89.2.3 update-source Loopback0

Related Command

neighbor peer-group (creating)

neighbor version

To configure the router to accept only a particular BGP version, use the neighbor version router configuration command. To use the default version level of a neighbor, use the no form of this command.

neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} version value
no neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} version value

Syntax Description

ip-address

IP address of the BGP-speaking neighbor.

peer-group-name

Name of a BGP peer group.

value

BGP version number. The version can be set to 2 to force the router to only use Version 2 with the specified neighbor. The default is to use Version 4 and dynamically negotiate down to Version 2 if requested.


Default

BGP Version 4

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

Entering this command disables dynamic version negotiation.

Our implementation of BGP supports BGP Versions 2, 3, and 4. If the neighbor does not accept default Version 4, dynamic version negotiation is implemented to negotiate down to Version 2.

If you specify a BGP peer group by using the peer-group-name argument, all of the members of the peer group will inherit the characteristic configured with this command.

Example

The following example locks down to Version 4 of the BGP protocol:

router bgp 109
neighbor 131.104.27.2 version 4

Related Command

neighbor weight

To assign a weight to a neighbor connection, use the neighbor weight router configuration command. To remove a weight assignment, use the no form of this command.

neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} weight weight
no neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} weight weight

Syntax Description

ip-address

Neighbor's IP address.

peer-group-name

Name of a BGP peer group.

weight

Weight to assign. Acceptable values are 0 to 65535.


Default

Routes learned through another BGP peer have a default weight of 0 and routes sourced by the local router have a default weight of 32768.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

All routes learned from this neighbor will have the assigned weight initially. The route with the highest weight will be chosen as the preferred route when multiple routes are available to a particular network.

The weights assigned with the match as-path and set weight route-map commands override the weights assigned using the neighbor weight and neighbor filter-list commands.


Note   For weight changes to take effect, it may be necessary to use clear ip bgp *.


If you specify a BGP peer group by using the peer-group-name argument, all of the members of the peer group will inherit the characteristic configured with this command.

Example

The following example sets the weight of all routes learned via 151.23.12.1 to 50:

router bgp 109
neighbor 151.23.12.1 weight 50

Related Commands

net

To configure a Network Entity Title (NET) for the routing process, use the net router configuration command. To remove a NET, use the no form of this command.

net network-entity-title
no net network-entity-title

Syntax Description

network-entity-title

NET that specifies the area address and the system ID for an IS-IS routing process. This argument can be either an address or a name.


Default

No NET is configured.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

For IS-IS, multiple NETs per router are allowed, with a maximum of three. There is no default value for this command.

Example

The following example specifies a single NET:

router isis Pieinthesky
net 47.0004.004d.0001.0000.0c11.1111.00

network (BGP)

To specify the list of networks for the BGP routing process, use this form of the network router configuration command. To remove an entry, use the no form of this command.

network network-number [mask network-mask]
no network network-number [mask network-mask]

Syntax Description

network-number

Network that BGP will advertise.

network-mask

(Optional) Network mask address.


Default

No networks are specified.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

These types of networks can be learned from connected routes, dynamic routing, and from static route sources.

A maximum of 200 network commands may be specified for a single BGP process.

Example

The following example sets up network 131.108.0.0 to be included in the router's BGP updates:

router bgp 120
network 131.108.0.0

Related Commands

network backdoor
network mask
network weight
router bgp

network (EGP)

To specify the list of networks for the EGP routing process, use this form of the network router configuration command. To remove an entry, use the no form of this command.

network network-number
no network network-number

Syntax Description

network-number

IP address of a peer router with which routing information will be exchanged.


Default

No networks are specified.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

The networks to be advertised to the EGP peers of an EGP routing process are advertised with a distance of zero. The restrictions on the network you specify are that it must appear in the routing table, and the network number must not contain any subnet information. The network can be connected, statically configured, or redistributed into EGP from other routing protocols. Multiple commands can be used to specify additional networks.

Example

The following example illustrates a typical configuration for an EGP router process. The router is in autonomous system 109 and is peering with routers in autonomous system 164. It will advertise the networks 131.108.0.0 and 192.31.7.0 to the router in autonomous system 164, 10.2.0.2. The information sent and received from peer routers can be filtered in various ways, including blocking information from certain routers and suppressing the advertisement of specific routes.

autonomous-system 109
router egp 164
network 131.108.0.0
network 192.31.7.0
neighbor 10.2.0.2

Related Command

router egp

network (IGRP and Enhanced IGRP)

To specify a list of networks for the Enhanced IGRP routing process, use this form of the network router configuration command. To remove an entry, use the no form of this command.

network network-number
no network network-number

Syntax Description

network-number

IP address of the directly connected networks.


Default

No networks are specified.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

The network number specified must not contain any subnet information. You can specify multiple network commands.

IGRP or Enhanced IGRP sends updates to the interfaces in the specified network(s). Also, if an interface's network is not specified, it will not be advertised in any IGRP or Enhanced IGRP update.

Example

The following example configures a router for IGRP and assigns autonomous system 109. The network commands indicate the networks directly connected to the router.

router igrp 109
network 131.108.0.0
network 192.31.7.0

Related Commands

router igrp
router eigrp

network (RIP)

To specify a list of networks for the RIP routing process, use this form of the network router configuration command. To remove an entry, use the no form of this command.

network network-number
no network network-number

Syntax Description

network-number

IP address of the network of directly connected networks.


Default

No networks are specified.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

The network number specified must not contain any subnet information. You can specify multiple network commands. RIP routing updates will be sent and received only through interfaces on this network.

RIP sends updates to the interfaces in the specified network(s). Also, if an interface's network is not specified, it will not be advertised in any RIP update.

Example

The following example defines RIP as the routing protocol to be used on all interfaces connected to networks 128.99.0.0 and 192.31.7.0:

router rip
network 128.99.0.0
network 192.31.7.0

Related Command

router rip

network area

To define the interfaces on which OSPF runs and to define the area ID for those interfaces, use the network area router configuration command. To disable OSPF routing for interfaces defined with the address wildcard-mask pair, use the no form of this command.

network address wildcard-mask area area-id
no network address wildcard-mask area area-id

Syntax Description

address

IP address.

wildcard-mask

IP-address-type mask that includes "don't care" bits.

area-id

Area that is to be associated with the OSPF address range. It can be specified as either a decimal value or as an IP address. If you intend to associate areas with IP subnets, you can specify a subnet address as the area-id.


Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

The address and wildcard-mask arguments together allow you to define one or multiple interfaces to be associated with a specific OSPF area using a single command. Using the wildcard-mask allows you to define one or multiple interfaces to be associated with a specific OSPF area using a single command. If you intend to associate areas with IP subnets, you can specify a subnet address as the area-id.

For OSPF to operate on the interface, that interface's primary address must be covered by the network area command. If the network area command covers only the secondary address, it will not enable OSPF over that interface.

The router sequentially evaluates the address/wildcard-mask pair for each interface as follows:

1 The wildcard-mask is logically ORed with the interface IP address.

2 The wildcard-mask is logically ORed with address in the network command.

3 The router compares the two resulting values.

4 If they match, OSPF is enabled on the associated interface and this interface is attached to the OSPF area specified.


Note   Any individual interface can only be attached to a single area. If the address ranges specified for different areas overlap, the router will adopt the first area in the network command list and ignore the subsequent overlapping portions. In general, it is recommended that you devise address ranges that do not overlap in order to avoid inadvertent conflicts.


Example

In the following partial example, OSPF routing process 109 is initialized, and four OSPF areas are defined: 10.9.50.0, 2, 3, and 0. Areas 10.9.50.0, 2, and 3 mask specific address ranges, while area 0 enables OSPF for all other networks.

interface ethernet 0
ip address 131.108.20.1 255.255.255.0
router ospf 109
network 131.108.20.0  0.0.0.255 area 10.9.50.0
network 131.108.0.0  0.0.255.255 area 2
network 131.109.10.0  0.0.0.255 area 3
network 0.0.0.0  255.255.255.255 area 0

Related Command

router ospf

network backdoor

To specify a backdoor route to a BGP border router that will provide better information about the network, use the network backdoor router configuration command. To remove an address from the list, use the no form of this command.

network address backdoor
no network address backdoor

Syntax Description

address

IP address of the network to which you want a backdoor route.


Default

No network is advertised.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

A backdoor network is treated as a local network, except that it is not advertised.

Example

The following example configures network 131.108.0.0 as a local network and network 192.31.7.0 as a backdoor network:

router bgp 109
network 131.108.0.0
network 192.31.7.0 backdoor

network weight

To assign an absolute weight to a BGP network, use the network weight router configuration command. To delete an entry, use the no form of the command.

network address weight weight
no network address weight weight

Syntax Description

address

IP address of the network.

weight

Absolute weight, or importance. It can be an integer from 0 to 65535.


Default

Weight is unmodified. Weight is zero if the original default weight has not been modified by other router configuration commands.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

The weight specified by this command overrides a weight assigned by the redistribute command.

Example

In the following example, the BGP network has a weight of 100:

router bgp 5
network 193.0.0.0 weight 100

offset-list

To add an offset to incoming and outgoing metrics to routes learned via RIP and IGRP, use the offset-list router configuration command. To remove an offset list, use the no form of this command.

offset-list [access-list-number] {in | out} offset [type number]
no offset-list [access-list-number] {in | out} offset [type number]

Syntax Description

access-list-number

(Optional) Standard access list to be applied. Access list number 0 indicates all access lists. For IGRP, the offset is added to the delay component only.

in

Applies the access list to incoming metrics.

out

Applies the access list to outgoing metrics.

offset

Positive offset to be applied to metrics for networks matching the access list. If the offset is 0, no action is taken.

type

(Optional) Interface type to which the offset-list is applied.

number

(Optional) Interface number to which the offset-list is applied.


Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

The offset value is added to the routing metric. An offset-list with an interface type and interface number is considered extended and takes precedence over an offset-list that is not extended. Therefore, if an entry passes the extended offset-list and the normal offset-list, the extended offset-list's offset is added to the metric.

Examples

In the following example, the router applies an offset of 10 to the router's delay component to access list 21:

offset-list 21 out 10 

In the following example of an extended offset-list, the router applies the offset of 10 to routes learned from Ethernet interface 0:

offset-list in 10 ethernet 0

ospf auto-cost-determination

To control how OSPF calculates default metrics for the interface, use the ospf auto-cost-determination router configuration command. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

ospf auto-cost-determination
no ospf auto-cost-determination

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Enabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

In Cisco IOS Release 10.2 and earlier, OSPF assigns default OSPF metrics to interfaces regardless of the interface bandwidth. It gives both 64K and T1 links the same metric (1562), and thus requires an explicit ip ospf cost command in order to take advantage of the faster link.

In Cisco IOS Release 10.3 and later, by default OSPF will calculate the OSPF metric for an interface according to the bandwidth of the interface. For example, a 64K link will get a metric of 1562, while a T1 link will have a metric of 64.

The OSPF metric is calculated as metric-scale / bandwidth, with metric-scale equal to 108 by default, giving FDDI a metric of 1.

Example

The following example causes a fixed default metric assignment, regardless of interface bandwidth:

router ospf 1
no ospf auto-cost-determination

Related Command

ip ospf cost

passive-interface

To disable sending routing updates on an interface, use the passive-interface router configuration command. To reenable the sending of routing updates, use the no form of this command.

passive-interface type number
no passive-interface type number

Syntax Description

type

Interface type.

number

Interface number.


Default

Routing updates are sent on the interface.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

If you disable the sending of routing updates on an interface, the particular subnet will continue to be advertised to other interfaces, and updates from other routers on that interface continue to be received and processed.

For OSPF, OSPF routing information is neither sent nor received through the specified router interface. The specified interface address appears as a stub network in the OSPF domain.

For IS-IS, this command instructs IS-IS to advertise the IP addresses for the specified interface without actually running IS-IS on that interface. The no form of this command for IS-IS disables advertising IP addresses for the specified address.

Enhanced IGRP is disabled on an interface that is configured as passive although it advertises the route.

Examples

The following example sends IGRP updates to all interfaces on network 131.108.0.0 except Ethernet interface 1:

router igrp 109
network 131.108.0.0
passive-interface ethernet 1

The following configuration enables IS-IS on interfaces Ethernet 1 and serial 0 and advertises the IP addresses of Ethernet 0 in its Link State PDUs:

router isis Finance
passive-interface Ethernet 0
interface Ethernet 1
ip router isis Finance
interface serial 0
ip router isis Finance

ping

To send an ICMP Echo Request to a multicast group, use the ping EXEC command.

ping [group-anme-or-address]

Syntax Description

group-name-or-address

(Optional) Sends an ICMP Echo Request to the specified multicast group.


Command Mode

EXEC

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.2.

If you use this command with no argument, the system prompts you.

mrinfo

To query what neighboring multicast routers are peering with the local router, use the mrinfo EXEC command.

mrinfo [hostname-or-address] [source-address-or-interface]

Syntax Description

hostname-or-address

(Optional) Queries the DNS name or IP address of the multicast router. If omitted, the router queries itself.

source-address-or-interface

(Optional) Source address used on mrinfo requests. If omitted, the source address is based on the outbound interface for the destination.


Command Mode

EXEC

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

The mrinfo command is the MBONE's original tool to determine what neighboring multicast routers are peering with a multicast router. Cisco routers have supported responding to mrinfo requests since Cisco IOS Release 10.2.

Now you can query a multicast router using this command. The output format is identical to DVMRP's mrouted version. (The mrouted software is the UNIX software that implements DVMRP.)

Sample Display

The following is sample output of the mrinfo command:

Router # mrinfo
192.31.7.37 (barrnet-gw.cisco.com) [version cisco 11.1] [flags: PMSA]:

mstat

To display IP multicast packet rate and loss information, use the mstat user EXEC command.

mstat source [destination] [group]

Syntax Description

source

DNS name or the IP address of the multicast-capable source.

destination

(Optional) DNS name or address of the destination. If omitted, the command uses the system at which the command is typed.

group

(Optional) DNS name or multicast address of the group to be displayed. Default address is 224.2.0.1 (the group used for MBONE Audio).


Command Mode

EXEC

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

If no arguments are entered, the router will interactively prompt you for them.

This command is a form of UNIX mtrace that reports packet rate and loss information.

Sample Display

The following is sample output from the mstat command:

Router# mstat dino-ss2 dino-ss20 224.0.255.255

Related Command

mtrace

mtrace

To trace the path from a source to a destination branch for a multicast distribution tree, use the mtrace user EXEC command.

mtrace source [destination] [group]

Syntax Description

source

DNS name or the IP address of the multicast-capable source. This is a unicast address of the beginning of the path to be traced.

destination

(Optional) DNS name or address of the unicast destination. If omitted, the mtrace starts from the system at which the command is typed.

group

(Optional) DNS name or multicast address of the group to be traced. Default address is 224.2.0.1 (the group used for MBONE Audio). When address 0.0.0.0 is used, the software invokes a weak mtrace. A weak mtrace is one that follows the RPF path to the source, regardless of whether any router along the path has multicast routing table state.


Command Mode

EXEC

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

The trace request generated by the mtrace command is multicast to the multicast group to find the last hop router to the specified destination. The trace then follows the multicast path from destination to source by passing the mtrace request packet via unicast to each hop. Responses are unicast to the querying router by the first hop router to the source. This command allows you to isolate multicast routing failures.

If no arguments are entered, the router will interactively prompt you for them.

This command is identical in function to the UNIX version of mtrace.

Sample Display

The following is sample output from the mtrace command:


Router> mtrace 171.69.215.41 171.69.215.67 239.254.254.254

output-delay

To change the interpacket delay for RIP updates sent, use the output-delay router configuration command. To remove the delay, use the no form of this command.

output-delay delay
no output-delay [delay]

Syntax Description

delay

Delay, in milliseconds, between packets in a multiple-packet RIP update. The range is 8 to 50 milliseconds. The default is no delay.


Default

0 milliseconds

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

Consider using this command if you have a high-end router sending at high speed to a low-speed router that might not be able to receive at that fast a rate. Configuring this command will help prevent the routing table from losing information.

Example

In the following example, the interpacket delay is set to 10 milliseconds:

output-delay 10

redistribute

To redistribute routes from one routing domain into another routing domain, use the redistribute router configuration command. To disable redistribution, use the no form of this command.

redistribute protocol [process-id] {level-1 | level-1-2 | level-2} [metric metric-value]
[metric-type type-value] [match {internal | external 1 | external 2}]
[tag tag-value] [route-map map-tag] [weight weight] [subnets]
no redistribute protocol [process-id] {level-1 | level-1-2 | level-2} [metric metric-value]
[metric-type type-value] [match {internal | external 1 | external 2}]
[tag tag-value] [route-map map-tag] [weight weight] [subnets]

Syntax Description

protocol

Source protocol from which routes are being redistributed. It can be one of the following keywords: bgp, egp, igrp, isis, ospf, static [ip], connected, and rip.

The keyword static [ip] is used to redistribute IP static routes. The optional ip keyword is used when redistributing into IS-IS.

The keyword connected refers to routes which are established automatically by virtue of having enabled IP on an interface. For routing protocols such as OSPF and IS-IS, these routes will be redistributed as external to the autonomous system.

process-id

(Optional) For bgp, egp, or igrp, this is an autonomous system number, which is a 16-bit decimal number.
For isis, this is an optional tag that defines a meaningful name for a routing process. You can specify only one IS-IS process per router. Creating a name for a routing process means that you use names when configuring routing.
For ospf, this is an appropriate OSPF process ID from which routes are to be redistributed. This identifies the routing process. This value takes the form of a nonzero decimal number.
For rip, no process-id value is needed.

level-1

For IS-IS, Level 1 routes are redistributed into other IP routing protocols independently.

level-1-2

For IS-IS, both Level 1 and Level 2 routes are redistributed into other IP routing protocols.

level-2

For IS-IS, Level 2 routes are redistributed into other IP routing protocols independently.

metric metric-value

(Optional) Metric used for the redistributed route. If a value is not specified for this option, and no value is specified using the default-metric command, the default metric value is 0. Use a value consistent with the destination protocol.

metric-type type-value

(Optional) For OSPF, the external link type associated with the default route advertised into the OSPF routing domain. It can be one of two values:

1—Type 1 external route

2—Type 2 external route

If a metric-type is not specified, the router adopts a Type 2 external route.

For IS-IS, it can be one of two values:

internal—IS-IS metric which is < 63.

external—IS-IS metric which is > 64 < 128.

The default is internal.

match {internal | external 1 | external 2}

(Optional) For OPSF, the criteria by which OSPF routes are redistributed into other routing domains. It an be one of the following:

internal—Routes that are internal to a specific autonomous system.

external 1Routes that are external to the autonomous system, but are imported into OSPF as type 1 external route.

external 2Routes that are external to the autonomous system, but are imported into OSPF as type 2 external route.

tag tag-value

(Optional) 32-bit decimal value attached to each external route. This is not used by the OSPF protocol itself. It may be used to communicate information between Autonomous System Boundary Routers. If none is specified, then the remote autonomous system number is used for routes from BGP and EGP; for other protocols, zero (0) is used.

route-map

(Optional) Route map should be interrogated to filter the importation of routes from this source routing protocol to the current routing protocol. If not specified, all routes are redistributed. If this keyword is specified, but no route map tags are listed, no routes will be imported.

map-tag

(Optional) Identifier of a configured route map.

weight weight

(Optional) Network weight when redistributing into BGP. An integer between 0 and 65535.

subnets

(Optional) For redistributing routes into OSPF, the scope of redistribution for the specified protocol.


Default

Route redistribution is disabled.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

Changing or disabling any keyword will not affect the state of other keywords.

A router receiving a link-state protocol (LSP) with an internal metric will consider the cost of the route from itself to the redistributing router plus the advertised cost to reach the destination. An external metric only considers the advertised metric to reach the destination.

Routes learned from IP routing protocols can be redistributed at level-1 into an attached area or at level-2. The keyword level-1-2 allows both in a single command.

Redistributed routing information should always be filtered by the distribute-list out router configuration command. This ensures that only those routes intended by the administrator are passed along to the receiving routing protocol.

Whenever you use the redistribute or the default-information router configuration commands to redistribute routes into an OSPF routing domain, the router automatically becomes an Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR). However, an ASBR does not, by default, generate a default route into the OSPF routing domain.

When routes are redistributed between OSPF processes, no OSPF metrics are preserved.

When routes are redistributed into OSPF and no metric is specified in the metric keyword, the default metric that OSPF uses is 20 for routes from all protocols except BGP route, which gets a metric of 1.

When redistributing routes into OSPF, only routes that are not subnetted are redistributed if the subnets keyword is not specified.

The only connected routes affected by this redistribute command are the routes not specified by the network command.

You cannot use the default-metric command to affect the metric used to advertise connected routes.


Note   The metric value specified in the redistribute command supersedes the metric value specified using the default-metric command.


Default redistribution of IGPs or EGP into BGP is not allowed unless default-information originate is specified.

Examples

The following are examples of the various configurations you would use to redistribute one routing protocol into another routing protocol.

The following example configuration causes OSPF routes to be redistributed into a BGP domain:

router bgp 109
redistribute ospf...

The following example configuration causes IGRP routes to be redistributed into an OSPF domain:

router ospf 110
redistribute igrp...

The following example causes the specified IGRP process routes to be redistributed into an OSPF domain. The IGRP-derived metric will be remapped to 100 and RIP routes to 200.

router ospf 109
redistribute igrp 108 metric 100 subnets
redistribute rip metric 200 subnets

In the following example, BGP routes are configured to be redistributed into IS-IS. The link-state cost is specified as 5, and the metric type will be set to external, indicating that it has lower priority than internal metrics.

router isis
redistribute bgp 120 metric 5 metric-type external

route-map

To define the conditions for redistributing routes from one routing protocol into another, or to enable policy routing, use the route-map global configuration command and the match and set route-map configuration commands. To delete an entry, use the no route-map command.

route-map map-tag [permit | deny] [sequence-number]
no route-map map-tag [permit | deny] [sequence-number]

Syntax Description

map-tag

Defines a meaningful name for the route map. The redistribute router configuration command uses this name to reference this route map. Multiple route maps may share the same map tag name.

permit

(Optional) If the match criteria are met for this route map, and permit is specified, the route is redistributed as controlled by the set actions. In the case of policy routing, the packet is policy routed.

If the match criteria are not met, and permit is specified, the next route map with the same map-tag is tested. If a route passes none of the match criteria for the set of route maps sharing the same name, it is not redistributed by that set.

The permit keyword is the default.

deny

(Optional) If the match criteria are met for the route map, and deny is specified, the route is not redistributed or in the case of policy routing, the packet is not policy routed, and no further route maps sharing the same map tag name will be examined. If the packet is not policy routed, it reverts to the normal forwarding algorithm.

sequence-number

(Optional) Number that indicates the position a new route map is to have in the list of route maps already configured with the same name. If given with the no form of this command, it specifies the position of the route map that should be deleted.


Default

No default is available.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use route maps to redistribute routes or to subject packets to policy routing. Both purposes are described in this section.

Redistribution

Use the route-map global configuration command, and the match and set route-map configuration commands, to define the conditions for redistributing routes from one routing protocol into another. Each route-map command has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria—the conditions under which redistribution is allowed for the current route-map. The set commands specify the set actions—the particular redistribution actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met. The no route-map command deletes the route map.

The match route-map configuration command has multiple formats. The related match commands are listed in the section " Related Commands for Redistribution." The match commands can be given in any order, and all match commands must "pass" to cause the route to be redistributed according to the set actions given with the set commands. The no forms of the match commands remove the specified match criteria.

Use route maps when you want detailed control over how routes are redistributed between routing processes. The destination routing protocol is the one you specify with the router global configuration command. The source routing protocol is the one you specify with the redistribute router configuration command. See the following example as an illustration of how route maps are configured.

When you are passing routes through a route map, a route map can have several parts. Any route that does not match at least one match clause relating to a route-map command will be ignored; that is, the route will not be advertised for outbound route maps and will not be accepted for inbound route maps. If you want to modify only some data, you must configure a second route-map section with an explicit match specified.

Policy Routing

Another purpose of route maps is to enable policy routing. Use the ip policy route-map command, in addition to the route-map command, and the match and set commands to define the conditions for policy routing packets. The related match and set commands are listed in the section " Related Commands for Policy Routing." The match commands specify the conditions under which policy routing occurs. The set commands specify the routing actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met. You might want to policy route packets some way other than the obvious shortest path.

The sequence-number works as follows:

1 If no entry is defined with the supplied tag, an entry is created with sequence-number set to 10.

2 If only one entry is defined with the supplied tag, that entry becomes the default entry for the following route-map command. The sequence-number of this entry is unchanged.

3 If more than one entry is defined with the supplied tag, an error message is printed to indicate that sequence-number is required.

If no route-map map-tag is specified (with no sequence-number), the whole route-map is deleted.

Examples

The following example redistributes all OSPF routes into IGRP:

router igrp 109
redistribute ospf 110
default metric 1000 100 255 1 1500

The following example redistributes RIP routes with a hop count equal to 1 into OSPF. These routes will be redistributed into OSPF as external link state advertisements with a metric of 5, metric type of Type 1 and a tag equal to 1.

router ospf 109
redistribute rip route-map rip-to-ospf

route-map rip-to-ospf permit

router bgp

To configure the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing process, use the router bgp global configuration command. To remove a routing process, use the no form of this command.

router bgp autonomous-system
no router bgp autonomous-system

Syntax Description

autonomous-system

Number of an autonomous system that identifies the router to other BGP routers and tags the routing information passed along.


Default

No BGP routing process is enabled by default.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command allows you to set up a distributed routing core that automatically guarantees the loop-free exchange of routing information between autonomous systems.

Example

The following example configures a BGP process for autonomous system 120:

router bgp 120

Related Commands

neighbor
network (BGP)
timers bgp

router egp

To configure the Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) routing process, use the router egp global configuration command. To turn off an EGP routing process, use the no router egp command.

router egp remote-as
no router egp remote-as

Syntax Description

remote-as

Autonomous system number the router expects its peers to be advertising in their EGP messages.


Default

No EGP routing process is defined.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

You must specify the autonomous system number before starting EGP. The local autonomous system number will be included in EGP messages sent by the router. The software does not insist that the actual remote autonomous system number match the configured autonomous system numbers. The output from the debug ip-egp EXEC command will advise of any discrepancies.

Example

The following example assigns a router to autonomous system 109 and is peering with routers in autonomous system 164:

autonomous-system 109
router egp 164

Related Commands

autonomous-system (EGP)
neighbor

router egp 0

To specify that a router should be considered a core gateway, use the router egp 0 global configuration command. To disable this function, use the no form of this command.

router egp 0
no router egp 0

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

Core gateways are central clearinghouses of routing information. Only one core gateway process can be configured in a router.

The router egp 0 global configuration command allows a specific router to have an EGP process that will enable it to act as a peer with any reachable autonomous system and information is exchanged freely between autonomous systems.

Normally, an EGP process expects to communicate with neighbors from a single autonomous system. Because all neighbors are in the same autonomous system, the EGP process assumes that these neighbors all have consistent internal information. Therefore, if the EGP process is informed about a route from one of its neighbors, it will not send it out to other neighbors.

With core EGP, the assumption is that all neighbors are from different autonomous systems, and all have inconsistent information. In this case, the EGP process distributes routes from one neighbor to all others (but not back to the originator). This allows the EGP process to be a central clearinghouse for information.

To control how an EGP process determines which neighbors will be treated as peers, use the neighbor any router configuration command with the router egp 0 global configuration command.

Example

The following example illustrates how an EGP core gateway can be configured:

access-list 1 permit 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
! global access list assignment
router egp 0
neighbor any 1
network 131.108.0.0

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

It is not necessary to have a registered autonomous system number to use IGRP. If you do not have a registered number, you are free to create your own. We recommend that if you do have a registered number, you use it to identify the IGRP process.

Example

The following example shows how to configure an IGRP routing process and assign process number 109:

router igrp 109

Related Command

network (IGRP and Enhanced IGRP)

router isis

To enable the IS-IS routing protocol and to specify an IS-IS process for IP, use the router isis global configuration command. To disable IS-IS routing, use the no form of this command.

router isis [tag]
no router isis [tag]

Syntax Description

tag

(Optional) Meaningful name for a routing process. If it is not specified, a null tag is assumed and the process is referenced with a null tag. This name must be unique among all IP router processes for a given router.


Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

You can specify only one IS-IS process per router. Only one IS-IS process is allowed whether you run it in integrated mode, ISO CLNS only, or IP only.

Example

The following example configures the router for IP routing and enables the IS-IS routing protocol:

set as-path

To modify an autonomous system path for BGP routes, use the set as-path route map configuration command. To not modify the autonomous system path, use the no form of this command.

set as-path {tag | prepend as-path-string}
no set as-path {tag | prepend as-path-string}

Syntax Description

tag

Converts the tag of a route into an autonomous system path. Applies only when redistributing routes into BGP.

prepend as-path-string

Appends the string following the keyword prepend to the as-path of the route that is matched by the route map. Applies to inbound and outbound BGP route maps.


Default

Autonomous system path is not modified.

Command Mode

Route map configuration

Usage Guidelines

The only global BGP metric available to influence the best path selection is the AS-PATH length. By varying the length of the AS-PATH, a BGP speaker can influence the best path selection by a peer further away.

By allowing you to convert the tag into an autonomous system path, the set as-path tag variation of this command modifies the autonomous system length. The set as-path prepend variation allows you to prepend an arbitrary autonomous system path string to BGP routes. Usually the local autonomous system number is prepended multiple times. This increases the autonomous system path length.

Examples

The following example converts the tag of a redistributed route into an autonomous system path:

route-map set-as-path-from-tag
match as-path 2
set as-path prepend 100 100 100
!
router bgp 100
redistribute ospf 109 route-map se	t-as-path-from-tag

The following example prepends 100 100 100 to all the routes advertised to 131.108.1.1:

route-map set-as-path
match as-path 1
set as-path prepend 100 100 100

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Route-map configuration

Usage Guidelines

You must have a match clause (even if it points to a "permit everything" list) if you want to set tags.

Use the route-map global configuration command, and the match and set route-map configuration commands, to define the conditions for redistributing routes from one routing protocol into another. Each route-map command has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria—the conditions under which redistribution is allowed for the current route-map. The set commands specify the set actions—the particular redistribution actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met. The no route-map command deletes the route map.

The set route-map configuration commands specify the redistribution set actions to be performed when all of a route map's match criteria are met. When all match criteria are met, all set actions are performed.

Example

In the following example, the router is configured to automatically compute the tag value for the BGP learned routes:

route-map tag
match as path 10
set automatic-tag 
!
router bgp 100
table-map tag

To set the BGP COMMUNITIES attribute, use the set community route-map configuration command. To delete the entry, use the no form of this command.

set community {community-number [additive]} | none
no set community {community-number [additive]} | none

Syntax Description

community-number

Valid values are 1 through 4294967200, no-export, or no-advertise.

additive

(Optional) Adds the community to the already existing communities.

none

Removes the COMMUNITY attribute from the prefixes that pass the route-map.


Default

No BGP COMMUNITIES attributes exist.

Command Mode

Route-map configuration

Usage Guidelines

You must have a match clause (even if it points to a "permit everything" list) if you want to set tags.

Use the route-map global configuration command, and the match and set route-map configuration commands, to define the conditions for redistributing routes from one routing protocol into another. Each route-map command has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria—the conditions under which redistribution is allowed for the current route-map. The set commands specify the set actions—the particular redistribution actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met. The no route-map command deletes the route map.

The set route-map configuration commands specify the redistribution set actions to be performed when all of a route map's match criteria are met. When all match criteria are met, all set actions are performed.

Example

In the following example, routes that pass the autonomous system path access list 1 have the community set to 109. Routes that pass the autonomous system path access list 2 have the community set to no-export (these routes will not be advertised to any EBGP peers).

route-map set_community 10 permit

set community 109

route-map set_community 20 permit
match as-path 2
set community no-export

set default interface

To indicate where to output packets that pass a match clause of a route map for policy routing and have no explicit route to the destination, use the set default interface route-map configuration command. To delete an entry, use the no form of this command.

set default interface type number [... type number]
no set default interface type number [... type number]

Syntax Description

type

Interface type, used with the interface number, to which packets are output.

number

Interface number, used with the interface type, to which packets are output.


Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Route-map configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to provide certain users a different default route. If the router has no explicit route for the destination, then it routes the packet to this interface. The first interface specified with the set default interface command that is up is used. The optionally specified interfaces are tried in turn.

Use the ip policy route-map interface configuration command, the route-map global configuration command, and the match and set route-map configuration commands, to define the conditions for policy routing packets. The ip policy route-map command identifies a route map by name. Each route-map has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria—the conditions under which policy routing occurs. The set commands specify the set actions—the particular routing actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met.

The set clauses can be used in conjunction with one another. They are evaluated in the following order:

set ip next-hop
set interface
set ip default next-hop
set default interface

Example

In the following example, packets that have a Level 3 length of 3 to 50 bytes and for which the router has no explicit route to the destination are output to Ethernet interface 0:

interface serial 0
ip policy route-map brighton
!
route-map brighton
match length 3 50
set default interface ethernet 0

Command Mode

Route-map configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use the ip policy route-map interface configuration command, the route-map global configuration command, and the match and set route-map configuration commands, to define the conditions for policy routing packets. The ip policy route-map command identifies a route map by name. Each route-map has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria—the conditions under which policy routing occurs. The set commands specify the set actions—the particular routing actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met.

If the first interface specified with the set interface command is down, the optionally specified interfaces are tried in turn.

The set clauses can be used in conjunction with one another. They are evaluated in the following order:

set ip next-hop
set interface
set ip default next-hop
set default interface

A useful next hop implies an interface. As soon as a next hop and an interface are found, the packet is routed.

Specifying set interface null 0 is a way to write a policy that the packet be dropped and an "unreachable" message be generated.

Example

In the following example, packets with a Level 3 length of 3 through 50 bytes are output to Ethernet interface 0:

interface serial 0
ip policy route-map testing
!
route-map testing
match length 3 50
set interface ethernet 0

Related Commands

To indicate where to output packets that pass a match clause of a route map for policy routing and for which the router has no explicit route to a destination, use the set ip default next-hop route-map configuration command. To delete an entry, use the no form of this command.

set ip default next-hop ip-address [... ip-address]
no set ip default next-hop ip-address [... ip-address]

Syntax Description

ip-address

IP address of the next hop to which packets are output. It need not be an adjacent router.


Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Route-map configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to provide certain users a different default route. If the router has no explicit route for the destination in the packet, then it routes the packet to this next hop. The first next hop specified with the set ip default next-hop command that appears to be adjacent to the router is used. The optional specified IP addresses are tried in turn.

Use the ip policy route-map interface configuration command, the route-map global configuration command, and the match and set route-map configuration commands, to define the conditions for policy routing packets. The ip policy route-map command identifies a route map by name. Each route-map has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria—the conditions under which policy routing occurs. The set commands specify the set actions—the particular routing actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met.

The set clauses can be used in conjunction with one another. They are evaluated in the following order:

set ip next-hop
set interface
set ip default next-hop
set default interface

Example

The following example provides two sources with equal access to two different service providers. Packets arriving on async interface 1 from the source 1.1.1.1 are sent to the router at 6.6.6.6 if the router has no explicit route for the packet's destination. Packets arriving from the source 2.2.2.2 are sent to the router at 7.7.7.7 if the router has no explicit route for the packet's destination. All other packets for which the router has no explicit route to the destination are discarded.

access-list 1 permit ip 1.1.1.1 0.0.0.0
access-list 2 permit ip 2.2.2.2 0.0.0.0

set metric

To set the metric value for a routing protocol other than IGRP or IP Enhanced IGRP, use the set metric route-map configuration command. To return to the default metric value, use the no form of this command.

set metric metric-value
no set metric metric-value

Syntax Description

metric-value

Metric value or IGRP bandwidth in kilobits per second. It can be an integer from -294967295 through 294967295.


Default

Default metric value.

Command Mode

Route-map configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use the route-map global configuration command, and the match and set route-map configuration commands, to define the conditions for redistributing routes from one routing protocol into another. Each route-map command has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria—the conditions under which redistribution is allowed for the current route-map. The set commands specify the set actions—the particular redistribution actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met. The no route-map command deletes the route map.

The set route-map configuration commands specify the redistribution set actions to be performed when all of a route map's match criteria are met. When all match criteria are met, all set actions are performed.

Example

In the following example, the metric value for the destination routing protocol is set to 100:

route-map set-metric
set metric 100

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Route-map configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.

This command will cause BGP to advertise a MED that corresponds to the IGP metric associated with the NEXT HOP of the route. This command applies to generated, iBGP-, and eBGP-derived routes.

If this command is used, multiple BGP speakers in a common AS can advertise different MEDs for a particular prefix. Also, note that if the IGP metric changes, BGP will not readvertise the route.

You must have a match clause (even if it points to a "permit everything" list) if you want to set tags.

Use the route-map global configuration command, and the match and set route-map configuration commands, to define the conditions for redistributing routes from one routing protocol into another. Each route-map command has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria—the conditions under which redistribution is allowed for the current route-map command. The set commands specify the set actions—the particular redistribution actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met. The no route-map command deletes the route map.

The set route-map configuration commands specify the redistribution set actions to be performed when all of a route map's match criteria are met. When all match criteria are met, all set actions are performed.

Example

In the following example, the MED for all the advertised routes to neighbor 160.89.2.3 is set to the corresponding IGP metric of the nexthop:

router bgp 109
 network 160.89.0.0
 neighbor 160.89.2.3 remote-as 200
 neighbor 160.89.2.3 route-map setMED out
!
route-map setMED permit 10
 match as-path 1
 set metric-type internal
!
 ip as-path access-list 1 permit .*

Table 19-10 Show IP BGP Neighbors Field Descriptions

Field
Description

BGP neighbor

Lists the IP address of the BGP neighbor and its autonomous system number. If the neighbor is in the same autonomous system as the router, then the link between them is internal. Otherwise, it is considered external.

BGP version

Specifies that the BGP version being used to communicate with the remote router is BGP version 3; the neighbor's router ID (an IP address) is also specified.

BGP state

Indicates the internal state of this BGP connection.

  table version

Indicates that the neighbor has been updated with this version of the primary BGP routing table.

  up time

Indicates the amount of time that the underlying TCP connection has been in existence.

Last read

Time that BGP last read a message from this neighbor.

  hold time

Maximum amount of time that can elapse between messages from the peer.

  keepalive interval

Time period between sending keepalive packets, which help ensure that the TCP connection is up.

Received

Number of received messages indicates the number of total BGP messages received from this peer, including keepalives. The number of notifications is the number of error messages received from the peer.

Sent

The number of sent messages indicates the total number of BGP messages that have been sent to this peer, including keepalives. The number of notifications is the number of error messages that we have sent to this peer.

Connections established

The number of connections established is a count of the number of times that we have established a TCP connection and the two peers have agreed speak BGP with each other. The number of dropped connections is the number of times that a good connection has failed or been taken down.


The remainder of the display describes the status of the underlying TCP connection.

show ip mroute

To display the contents of the IP multicast routing table, use the show ip mroute EXEC command.

show ip mroute [group] [source] [summary] [count] [active kbps]

Syntax Description

group

(Optional) IP address or name of the multicast group as defined in the DNS hosts table.

source

(Optional) IP address or name of a multicast source.

summary

(Optional) Displays a one-line, abbreviated summary of each entry in the IP multicast routing table.

count

(Optional) Displays statistics about the group and source, including number of packets, packets per second, average packet size, and bits per second.

active kbps

(Optional) Displays the rate that active sources are sending to multicast groups. Active sources are those sending at a rate of kbps or higher. The kbps argument defaults to 4 kbps.


Default

The show ip mroute command displays all groups and sources.
The show ip mroute active command displays all sources sending at a rate greater than or equal to 4 kbps.

Command Mode

EXEC

Usage Guidelines

If you omit all optional arguments and keywords, the show ip mroute command displays all entries in the IP multicast routing table.

The router populates the multicast routing table by creating source, group (S,G) entries from star, group (*,G) entries. The star refers to all source addresses, the "S" refers to a single source address, and the "G" is the destination multicast group address. In creating (S,G) entries, the router uses the best path to that destination group found in the unicast routing table (that is, via Reverse Path Forwarding [RPF]).

Sample Displays

The following is sample output from the show ip mroute command for a router operating is dense mode. This command displays the contents of the IP multicast routing table for the multicast group named cbone-audio.

Field
Description

Flags:

Provides information about the entry.

 D - Dense

Entry is operating in dense mode.

 S - Sparse

Entry is operating in sparse mode.

 C - Connected

A member of the multicast group is present on the directly connected interface.

 L - Local

The router itself is a member of the multicast group.

 P - Pruned

Route has been pruned. The router keeps this information in case a downstream member wants to join the source.

   R - Rp-bit set

Indicates that the (S,G) entry is pointing towards the RP. This is typically prune state along the shared tree for a particular source.

   F - Register flag

Indicates that the router is Registering for a multicast source.

   T - SPT-bit set

Indicates that packets have been received on the shortest path source tree.

(*, 224.0.255.1)
(198.92.37.100/32, 224.0.255.1)

Entry in the IP multicast routing table. The entry consists of the IP address of the source router followed by IP address of the multicast group. An asterisk (*) in place of the source router indicates all sources.

Entries in the first format are referred to as (*,G,) or "star comma G," entries. Entries in the second format are referred to as (S,G) or ("S comma G") entries. (*,G) entries are used to build (S,G) entries.

uptime

How long in hours, minutes, and seconds the entry has been in the IP multicast routing table.

expires

How long in hours, minutes, and seconds until the entry will be removed from the IP multicast routing table on the outgoing interface.

RP

Address of the rendezvous point (RP) router. For routers operating in sparse mode, this address is always 0.0.0.0.

flags:

Information about the entry.

Incoming interface:

Expected interface for a multicast packet from the source. If the packet is not received on this interface, it is discarded.

RPF neighbor

IP address of the upstream router to the source. "Tunneling" indicates that this router is sending data to the RP encapsulated in Register packets. The hexadecimal number in parentheses indicates which RP we are registering to. Each bit indicates a different RP if multiple RPs per gorup are used.

Dvmrp or Mroute

Indicates if the RPF information is obtained from the DVMRP routing table or the static mroutes configuration.

Outgoing interface list:

Interfaces through which packets will be forwarded. When the interface has ip pim nbma-mode, the IP address of the PIM neighbor is also displayed.

 Ethernet0

Name and number of the outgoing interface.

 Forward/Dense

Indicates that packets will be forwarded on the interface if there are no restrictions due to access lists or TTL threshold. Following the slash, mode in which the interface is operating (dense or sparse).

 time/time

show ip ospf database

Use the show ip ospf database EXEC command to display lists of information related to the OSPF database for a specific router. The various forms of this command deliver information about different OSPF link state advertisements.

show ip ospf [process-id area-id] database
show ip ospf [process-id area-id] database [router] [link-state-id]
show ip ospf [process-id area-id] database [network] [link-state-id]

show ip ospf [process-id] database [external] [link-state-id]
show ip ospf [process-id area-id] database [database-summary]

Command Mode

EXEC

Syntax Description

process-id

(Optional) Internally used identification parameter. It is locally assigned and can be any positive integer number. The number used here is the number assigned administratively when enabling the OSPF routing process.

area-id

(Optional) Area number associated with the OSPF address range defined in the network router configuration command used to define the particular area.

link-state-id

(Optional) Identifies the portion of the Internet environment that is being described by the advertisement. The value entered depends on the advertisement's LS type. It must be entered in the form of an IP address.

When the link state advertisement is describing a network, the link-state-id can take one of two forms:

—The network's IP address (as in type 3 summary link advertisements and in autonomous system external link advertisements).

—A derived address obtained from the link state ID. (Note that masking a network links advertisement's link state ID with the network's subnet mask yields the network's IP address.)

When the link state advertisement is describing a router, the link state ID is always the described router's OSPF router ID.

When an autonomous system external advertisement (LS Type = 5) is describing a default route, its link state ID is set to Default Destination (0.0.0.0).


When entered with the optional keyword router, network, summary, asb-summary, external, or database-summary, different displays result. Examples and brief descriptions of each form follow.

The following is sample output using the longer-prefixes keyword. When the longer-prefixes keyword is included, the address and mask pair becomes the prefix, and any address that matches that prefix is displayed. Therefore, multiple addresses are displayed.

In the following example, the logical AND operation is performed on the source address 128.0.0.0 and the mask 128.0.0.0, resulting in 128.0.0.0. Each destination in the routing table is also logically ANDed with the mask and compared to that result of 128.0.0.0. Any destinations that fall into that range are displayed in the output.

Table 19-45 Show IS-IS Database Field Descriptions

Field
Description

LSPID

The link state PDU ID. The first six octets form the System ID. The next octet is the pseudo ID. When this value is zero, the LSP describes links from the system. When it is nonzero, the LSP is a pseudonode LSP. The designated router for an interface is the only system that originates pseudonode LSPs. The last octet is the LSP number. If there is more data than can fit in a single LSP, additional LSPs are sent with increasing LSP numbers. An asterisk (*) indicates that the LSP was originated by the local system.

LSP Seq Num

Sequence number for the LSP that allows other systems to determine if they have received the latest information from the source.

LSP Checksum

Checksum of the entire LSP packet.

LSP Holdtime

Amount of time the LSP remains valid, in seconds.

ATT

The attach bit. This indicates that the router is also a Level 2 router, and it can reach other areas.

 P

The P bit. Detects if the IS is area partition repair capable.

 OL

The Overload bit. Determines if the IS is congested.

summary-address

Use the summary-address router configuration command to create aggregate addresses for IS-IS or OSPF. The no summary-address command restores the default.

summary-address address mask {level-1 | level-1-2 | level-2}
no summary-address address mask {level-1 | level-1-2 | level-2}

Syntax Description

address

Summary address designated for a range of addresses.

mask

IP subnet mask used for the summary route.

level-1

Only routes redistributed into Level 1 are summarized with the configured address/mask value. This keyword does not apply to OSPF.

level-1-2

The summary router is injected into both a Level 1 area and a Level 2 subdomain. This keyword does not apply to OSPF.

level-2

Routes learned by Level 1 routing will be summarized into the Level 2 backbone with the configured address/mask value. This keyword does not apply to OSPF.


Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

Multiple groups of addresses can be summarized for a given level. Routes learned from other routing protocols can also be summarized. The metric used to advertise the summary is the smallest metric of all the more specific routes. This command helps reduce the size of the routing table.

Using this command for OSPF causes an OSPF Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR) to advertise one external route as an aggregate for all redistributed routes that are covered by the address. For OSPF, this command summarizes only routes from other routing protocols that are being redistributed into OSPF. Use the area range command for route summarization between OSPF areas.

Example for IS-IS

In the following example, summary address 10.1.0.0 includes address 10.1.1, 10.1.2, 10.1.3, 10.1.4, and so forth. Only the address 10.1.0.0 is advertised in an IS-IS Level 1 Link State PDU.

summary-address 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 level-1

Example for OSPF

In the following example, summary address 10.1.0.0 includes address 10.1.1.0, 10.1.2.0, 10.1.3.0, and so forth. Only the address 10.1.0.0 is advertised in an external link state advertisement.

summary-address 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0

synchronization

To enable the synchronization between BGP and your IGP, use the synchronization router configuration command. To enable a router to advertise a network route without waiting for the IGP, use the no form of this command.

synchronization
no synchronization

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Enabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

Usually, a BGP speaker does not advertise a route to an external neighbor unless that route is local or exists in the IGP. The no synchronization command allows a router to advertise a network route without waiting for the IGP. This feature allows routers within an autonomous system to have the route before BGP makes it available to other autonomous systems.

Use synchronization if there are routers in the autonomous system that do not speak BGP.

Example

The following example enables the router to advertise a network route without waiting for the IGP:

router bgp 120
no synchronization

table-map

To modify metric and tag values when the IP routing table is updated with BGP learned routes, use the table-map router configuration command. To disable this function, use the no form of the command.

table-map route-map-name
no table-map route-map-name

Syntax Description

route-map-name

Route map name, from the route-map command.


Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command adds the route map name defined by the route-map command to the IP routing table. This command is used to set the tag name and the route metric to implement redistribution.

You can use match clauses of route maps in the table-map command. IP access list, autonomous system paths, and next-hop match clauses are supported.

Example

In the following example, the router is configured to automatically compute the tag value for the BGP learned routes and to update the IP routing table.

route-map tag
match as path 10
set automatic-tag 
!
router bgp 100
table-map tag

timers basic (EGP, RIP, IGRP)

To adjust EGP, RIP, or IGRP network timers, use the timers basic router configuration command. To restore the default timers, use the no form of this command.

timers basic update invalid holddown flush [sleeptime]
no timers basic

Syntax Description

update

Rate in seconds at which updates are sent. This is the fundamental timing parameter of the routing protocol.

invalid

Interval of time in seconds after which a route is declared invalid; it should be three times the value of update. A route becomes invalid when there is an absence of updates that refresh the route. The route then enters holddown. The route is marked inaccessible and advertised as unreachable. However, the route is still used for forwarding packets.

holddown

Interval in seconds during which routing information regarding better paths is suppressed. It should be at least three times the value of update. A route enters into a holddown state when an update packet is received that indicates the route is unreachable. The route is marked inaccessible and advertised as unreachable. However, the route is still used for forwarding packets. When holddown expires, routes advertised by other sources are accepted and the route is no longer inaccessible.

flush

Amount of time in seconds that must pass before the route is removed from the routing table; the interval specified must be at least the sum of invalid and holddown. If it is less than this sum, the proper holddown interval cannot elapse, which results in a new route being accepted before the holddown interval expires.

sleeptime

(Optional) For IGRP only, interval in milliseconds for postponing routing updates in the event of a flash update. The sleeptime value should be less than the update time. If the sleeptime is greater than the update time, routing tables will become unsynchronized.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

The basic timing parameters for IGRP, EGP, and RIP are adjustable. Since these routing protocols are executing a distributed, asynchronous routing algorithm, it is important that these timers be the same for all routers in the network.


Note   The current and default timer values can be seen by inspecting the output of the show ip protocols EXEC command. The relationships of the various timers should be preserved as described previously.


Examples

In the following example, updates are broadcast every 5 seconds. If a router is not heard from in 15 seconds, the route is declared unusable. Further information is suppressed for an additional 15 seconds. At the end of the suppression period, the route is flushed from the routing table.

router igrp 109
timers basic 5  15  15  30

Note that by setting a short update period, you run the risk of congesting slow-speed serial lines; however, this is not a big concern on faster-speed Ethernets and T1-rate serial lines. Also, if you have many routes in your updates, you can cause the routers to spend an excessive amount of time processing updates.

When the timers basic command is used with EGP, the update time and holddown time are ignored. For example, the commands that follow will set the invalid time for EGP to 100 seconds and the flush time to 200 seconds.

router egp 47
timers basic 0 100 0 200

timers bgp

To adjust BGP network timers, use the timers bgp router configuration command. To reset the BGP timing defaults, use the no form of this command.

timers bgp keepalive holdtime
no timers bgp

Syntax Description

keepalive

Frequency, in seconds, with which the router sends keepalive messages to its peer. The default is 60 seconds.

holdtime

Interval, in seconds, after not receiving a keepalive message that the router declares a peer dead. The default is 180 seconds.


Defaults

keepalive: 60 seconds
holdtime: 180 seconds

Command Mode

Router configuration

Example

The following example changes the keepalive timer to 70 seconds and the holdtime timer to 210 seconds:

timers bgp 70 210

Related Commands

clear ip bgp
router bgp
show ip bgp

timers egp

To adjust EGP Hello and polltime network timers, use the timers egp router configuration command. The no form of this command resets the EGP timing defaults.

timers egp hello polltime
no timers egp

Syntax Description

hello

Frequency, in seconds, with which the router sends Hello messages to its peer. The default is 60 seconds.

polltime

Interval, in seconds, for how frequently to exchange updates. The default is 180 seconds.


Defaults

hello: 60 seconds
polltime: 180 seconds

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

To change the invalid time or flush time for EGP routes, use the timers basic router configuration command.

Example

The following example changes the EGP timers to 2 minutes and 5 minutes, respectively:

timers egp 120 300

Related Commands

router egp
show ip egp
timers basic (EGP, RIP, IGRP)

timers spf

To configure the delay time between when OSPF receives a topology change and when it starts a Shortest Path First (SPF) calculation, and the hold time between two consecutive SPF calculations, use the timers spf router configuration command. To return to the default timer values, use the no form of this command.

timers spf spf-delay spf-holdtime
no timers spf spf-delay spf-holdtime

Syntax Description

spf-delay

Delay time, in seconds, between when OSPF receives a topology change and when it starts a SPF. calculation. It can be an integer from 0 to 65535. The default time is 5 seconds. A value of 0 means that there is no delay; that is, the SPF calculation is started immediately.

spf-holdtime

Minimum time, in seconds, between two consecutive SPF calculations. It can be an integer from 0 to 65535. The default time is 10 seconds. A value of 0 means that there is no delay; that is, two consecutive SPF calculations can be done one immediately after the other.


Defaults

spf-delay: 5 seconds
spf-holdtime: 10 seconds

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

Setting the delay and hold time low causes routing to switch to the alternate path more quickly in the event of a failure. However, it consumes more CPU processing time.

Example

The following example changes the delay to 10 seconds and the hold time to 20 seconds:

timers spf 10 20

traffic-share

To control how traffic is distributed among routes when there are multiple routes for the same destination network that have different costs, use the traffic-share router configuration command. To disable this function, use the no form of the command.

traffic-share {balanced | min}
[
no] traffic share {balanced | min}

Syntax Description

balanced

Distributes traffic proportionately to the ratios of the metrics.

min

Uses routes that have minimum costs.


Default

Traffic is distributed proportionately to the ratios of the metrics.

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command applies to IGRP and Enhanced IGRP routing protocols only. With the default setting, routes that have higher metrics represent less-preferable routes and get less traffic. Configuring traffic-share min causes the router to only divide traffic among the routes with the best metric. Other routes will remain in the routing table, but will receive no traffic.

Example

In the following example, only routes of minimum cost will be used:

router igrp 5
traffic-share min

validate-update-source

To have the router to validate the source IP address of incoming routing updates for RIP and IGRP routing protocols, use the validate-update-source router configuration command. To disable this function, use the no form of this command.

validate-update-source
no validate-update-source

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Enabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command is only applicable to RIP and IGRP. The router ensures that the source IP address of incoming routing updates is on the same IP network as one of the addresses defined for the receiving interface.

Disabling split horizon on the incoming interface will also cause the system to perform this validation check.

For unnumbered IP interfaces (interfaces configured as ip unnumbered), no checking is performed.

Example

In the following example, the router is configured to not perform validation checks on the source IP address of incoming RIP updates:

router rip
network 128.105.0.0
no validate-update-source

variance

To control load balancing in an Enhanced IGRP-based internetwork, use the variance router configuration command. To reset the variance to the default value, use the no form of this command.

variance multiplier
no variance

Syntax Description

multiplier

Metric value used for load balancing. It can be a value from 1 to 128. The default is 1, which means equal-cost load balancing.


Default

1 (equal-cost load balancing)

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

Setting a variance value lets the router determine the feasibility of a potential route. A route is feasible if the next router in the path is closer to the destination than the current router and if the metric for the entire path is within the variance. Only paths that are feasible can be used for load balancing and included in the routing table.

If the following two conditions are met, the route is deemed feasible and can be added to the routing table:

1 The local best metric must be greater than the metric learned from the next router.

2 The multiplier times the local best metric for the destination must be greater than or equal to the metric through the next router.

Example

The following example sets a variance value of 4:

router igrp 109
variance 4
