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
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 Do not use this form of aggregate-address when aggregating many paths, because this route must be continually withdrawn and re-updated as autonomous system path reachability information for the summarized routes changes.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

route-maparea 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-idSyntax Description
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

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 costSyntax Description
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

Related Command
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 maskSyntax 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

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 stubSyntax Description
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

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

Example
The following sample configuration specifies an autonomous system number of 110:
autonomous-system 110
Related Command
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-summarySyntax 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
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-medSyntax 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-systemSyntax Description
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

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

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

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-changesSyntax 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
No memory for prefix entry
No memory for aggregate entry
No memory for dampening info
No memory for BGP updates
BGP Notification received
Erroneous BGP Update received
User reset request
Peer timeout
Password change
Error during connection collision
Peer closing down the session
Peer exceeding maximum prefix limit
Interface flap
Router ID changed
Neighbor deleted
Member added to peergroup
Administratively shutdown
Remote AS changed
RR client configuration modification
Soft reconfiguration modification
The eigrp log-neighbor-changes command enables logging of Enhanced IGRP neighbor adjacencies, but messages for BGP neighbors are logged only if they are specifically enabled with the bgp log-neighbor-changes command.
Use the show logging command to display the log for the BGP neighbor changes.
Example
The following configuration will log neighbor changes for BGP:
bgp router 100
bgp log-neighbor-changes

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

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
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-metricSyntax Description
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

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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-numberSyntax Description
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

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
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

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.

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.

no ip dvmrp routehog-notificationSyntax Description
Default
10,000 routes
Command Mode

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
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-limitSyntax Description
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
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-routingSyntax 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

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
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 secondsSyntax Description
Default
For low-speed, NBMA networks: 180 seconds
For all other networks: 15 secondsCommand 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

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

interface ethernet 0
ip igmp access-group 1
Related Command
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-addressSyntax 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

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-intervalSyntax 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

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 irdpSyntax Description
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 addressip irdp multicast
! increase router preference from 100 to 50ip irdp preference 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-tagSyntax 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

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
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-cacheSyntax 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] kbpsSyntax Description
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

Related Command
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-keySyntax 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

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 costSyntax 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.

no ip ospf dead-intervalSyntax 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 60Related Command
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.

no ip ospf hello-intervalSyntax 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

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 keyidSyntax Description
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

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:

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:

ip ospf retransmit-interval seconds
no ip ospf retransmit-intervalSyntax Description
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 8ip 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-delaySyntax 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 3ip 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
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:

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

This command has no arguments or keywords.
Default

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.

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 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
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

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-tagSyntax 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

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 routeSyntax Description
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:
ip route 131.108.0.0 255.255.0.0 131.108.6.6

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 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-horizonSyntax 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

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.

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
Default

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
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.

no isis metric {level-1 | level-2}Syntax Description
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

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.

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

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:

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

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-valueSyntax 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.

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
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.

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 holddownSyntax 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

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.

Default
tos: 0
k1: 1
k2: 0
k3: 1
k4: 0
k5: 0Command 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.
lists the default values used for several common media.
Table 19-4 Bandwidth Values by Media Type
Reliability is given as a fraction of 255. That is, 255 is 100 percent reliability or a perfectly stable link.
Load is given as a fraction of 255. A load of 255 indicates a completely saturated link.

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
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-addressSyntax Description
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
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

no neighbor template-name configure-neighborsSyntax 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

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

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

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 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
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

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-listSyntax 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-neighborsIn 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

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-selfSyntax Description
Default
Disabled
Command Mode

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} passwordSyntax Description
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)
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-groupSyntax Description
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

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

Related Command
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-idSyntax Description
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.

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 backdoorSyntax Description
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 weightSyntax 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
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-determinationSyntax 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 numberSyntax Description
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
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
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

mstat
To display IP multicast packet rate and loss information, use the mstat user EXEC command.
mstat source [destination] [group]
Syntax Description
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

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
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
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

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
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.

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

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.

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 0Syntax 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

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
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:

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:

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
match as-path 1
set community 109
route-map set_community 20 permit

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 interfaceExample
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:

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
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.

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
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
Related Command
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 synchronizationSyntax 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-nameSyntax Description
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

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.

Example
The following example changes the keepalive timer to 70 seconds and the holdtime timer to 210 seconds:
timers bgp 70 210
Related Commands

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 egpSyntax Description
Defaults
hello: 60 seconds
polltime: 180 secondsCommand 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-holdtimeSyntax Description
Defaults
spf-delay: 5 seconds
spf-holdtime: 10 secondsCommand 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-sourceSyntax 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 varianceSyntax 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
