Preconfiguration is supported for the following types of interfaces and controllers: • Gigabit Ethernet • 10-Gigabit Ethernet • Management Ethernet • Packet-over-SONET/SDH (POS) • Serial • SONET controllers and channelized SONET controllers Preconfiguration allows you to configure modular services cards before they are inserted into the router. When the cards are inserted, they are instantly configured. The preconfiguration information is created in a different system database tree (known as the preconfiguration directory on the route switch processor [RSP]), rather than with the regularly configured interfaces. There may be some preconfiguration data that cannot be verified unless the modular services card is present, because the verifiers themselves run only on the modular services card. Such preconfiguration data is verified when the modular services card is inserted and the verifiers are initiated. A configuration is rejected if errors are found when the configuration is copied from the preconfiguration area to the active area. Note Only physical interfaces can be preconfigured. Feature History for Preconfiguring Physical Interfaces Release Modification Release 3.7.2 Ethernet interface preconfiguration was introduced. Release 4.0.0 POS interface preconfiguration was introduced.Preconfiguring Physical Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Contents HC-2 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Contents • Prerequisites for Preconfiguring Physical Interfaces, page 2 • Information About Preconfiguring Physical Interfaces, page 2 • How to Preconfigure Physical Interfaces, page 4 • Configuration Examples for Preconfiguring Physical Interfaces, page 6 • Additional References, page 7 Prerequisites for Preconfiguring Physical Interfaces You must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. The command reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance. Before preconfiguring physical interfaces, be sure that the following conditions are met: • Preconfiguration drivers and files are installed. Although it may be possible to preconfigure physical interfaces without a preconfiguration driver installed, the preconfiguration files are required to set the interface definition file on the router that supplies the strings for valid interface names. Information About Preconfiguring Physical Interfaces To preconfigure interfaces, you must understand the following concepts: • Physical Interface Preconfiguration Overview, page 2 • Benefits of Interface Preconfiguration, page 3 • Use of the Interface Preconfigure Command, page 3 • Active and Standby RSPs and Virtual Interface Configuration, page 4 Physical Interface Preconfiguration Overview Preconfiguration is the process of configuring interfaces before they are present in the system. Preconfigured interfaces are not verified or applied until the actual interface with the matching location (rack/slot/module) is inserted into the router. When the anticipated modular services card is inserted and the interfaces are created, the precreated configuration information is verified and, if successful, immediately applied to the router’s running configuration. Note When you plug the anticipated modular services card in, make sure to verify any preconfiguration with the appropriate show commands. Use the show run command to see interfaces that are in the preconfigured state. Preconfiguring Physical Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Preconfiguring Physical Interfaces HC-3 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Note We recommend filling out preconfiguration information in your site planning guide, so that you can compare that anticipated configuration with the actual preconfigured interfaces when that card is installed and the interfaces are up. Tip Use the commit best-effort command to save the preconfiguration to the running configuration file. The commit best-effort command merges the target configuration with the running configuration and commits only valid configuration (best effort). Some configuration might fail due to semantic errors, but the valid configuration still comes up. Benefits of Interface Preconfiguration Preconfigurations reduce downtime when you add new cards to the system. With preconfiguration, the new modular services card can be instantly configured and actively running during modular services card bootup. Another advantage of performing a preconfiguration is that during a card replacement, when the modular services card is removed, you can still see the previous configuration and make modifications. Use of the Interface Preconfigure Command Interfaces that are not yet present in the system can be preconfigured with the interface preconfigure command in global configuration mode. The interface preconfigure command places the router in interface configuration mode. Users should be able to add any possible interface commands. The verifiers registered for the preconfigured interfaces verify the configuration. The preconfiguration is complete when the user enters the end command, or any matching exit or global configuration mode command. Note It is possible that some configurations cannot be verified until the modular services card is inserted. Note Do not enter the no shutdown command for new preconfigured interfaces, because the no form of this command removes the existing configuration, and there is no existing configuration. Users are expected to provide names during preconfiguration that will match the name of the interface that will be created. If the interface names do not match, the preconfiguration cannot be applied when the interface is created. The interface names must begin with the interface type that is supported by the router and for which drivers have been installed. However, the slot, port, subinterface number, and channel interface number information cannot be validated. Note Specifying an interface name that already exists and is configured (or an abbreviated name like e0/3/0/0) is not permitted.Preconfiguring Physical Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Preconfigure Physical Interfaces HC-4 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Active and Standby RSPs and Virtual Interface Configuration The standby RSP is available and in a state in which it can take over the work from the active RSP should that prove necessary. Conditions that necessitate the standby RSP to become the active RSP and assume the active RSP’s duties include: • Failure detection by a watchdog • Standby RSP is administratively commanded to take over • Removal of the active RSP from the chassis If a second RSP is not present in the chassis while the first is in operation, a second RSP may be inserted and will automatically become the standby RSP. The standby RSP may also be removed from the chassis with no effect on the system other than loss of RSP redundancy. After failover, the virtual interfaces will all be present on the standby (now active) RSP. Their state and configuration will be unchanged, and there will have been no loss of forwarding (in the case of tunnels) over the interfaces during the failover. The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router uses nonstop forwarding (NSF) over tunnels through the failover of the host RSP. Note The user does not need to configure anything to guarantee that the standby interface configurations are maintained. How to Preconfigure Physical Interfaces This task describes only the most basic preconfiguration of an interface.

Step 2 interface preconfigure type interface-path-id Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface preconfigure GigabitEthernet 0/1/0/0 Enters interface preconfiguration mode for an interface, where type specifies the supported interface type that you want to configure and interface-path-id specifies the location where the interface will be located in rack/slot/module/port notation. Step 3 ipv4 address ip-address subnet-mask or ipv4 address ip-address/prefix Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if-pre)# ipv4 address 192.168.1.2/32 Assigns an IP address and mask to the interface. Step 4 Configure additional interface parameters, as described in this manual in the configuration chapter that applies to the type of interface that you are configuring. Preconfiguring Physical Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Configuration Examples for Preconfiguring Physical Interfaces HC-6 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Configuration Examples for Preconfiguring Physical Interfaces This section contains the following example: Preconfiguring an Interface: Example, page 6 Preconfiguring an Interface: Example The following example shows how to preconfigure a basic Ethernet interface: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface preconfigure GigabitEthernet 0/1/0/0 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# ipv4 address 192.168.1.2/32 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# commit Step 5 end or commit best-effort Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if-pre)# end or RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if-pre)# commit Saves configuration changes. • When you issue the end command, the system prompts you to commit changes: Uncommitted changes found, commit them before exiting (yes/no/cancel)? – Entering yes saves configuration changes to the running configuration file, exits the configuration session, and returns the router to EXEC mode. – Entering no exits the configuration session and returns the router to EXEC mode without committing the configuration changes. – Entering cancel leaves the router in the current configuration session without exiting or committing the configuration changes. • Use the commit best-effort command to save the configuration changes to the running configuration file and remain within the configuration session. The commit best-effort command merges the target configuration with the running configuration and commits only valid changes (best effort). Some configuration changes might fail due to semantic errors. Step 6 show running-config Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# show running-config (Optional) Displays the configuration information currently running on the router.

Before you can use Telnet to access the router through the LAN IP address, you must set up a Management Ethernet interface and enable Telnet servers, as described in the Configuring General Router Features module of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Getting Started Guide. This module describes how to modify the default configuration of the Management Ethernet interface after it has been configured, as described in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Getting Started Guide. Note Forwarding between physical layer interface modules (PLIM) ports and Management Ethernet interface ports is disabled by default. To enable forwarding between PLIM ports and Management Ethernet interface ports, use the rp mgmtethernet forwarding command. Note Although the Management Ethernet interfaces on the system are present by default, the user must configure these interfaces to use them for accessing the router, using protocols and applications such as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), HTTP, extensible markup language (XML), TFTP, Telnet, and command-line interface (CLI).

Before performing the Management Ethernet interface configuration procedures that are described in this chapter, be sure that the following tasks and conditions are met: • You have performed the initial configuration of the Management Ethernet interface, as described in the Configuring General Router Features module of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Getting Started Guide. • You must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. The command reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. • You know how to apply the generalized interface name specification rack/slot/module/port. For further information on interface naming conventions, refer to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Getting Started Guide. Note For transparent switchover, both active and standby Management Ethernet interfaces are expected to be physically connected to the same LAN or switch. Information About Configuring Management Ethernet Interfaces To configure Management Ethernet interfaces, you must understand the following concept: • Default Interface Settings, page 10 Default Interface Settings Table 2 describes the default Management Ethernet interface settings that can be changed by manual configuration.

Step 3 ipv4 address ip-address mask Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# ipv4 address 172.18.189.38 255.255.255.224 Assigns an IP address and subnet mask to the interface. • Replace ip-address with the primary IPv4 address for the interface. • Replace mask with the mask for the associated IP subnet. The network mask can be specified in either of two ways: – The network mask can be a four-part dotted decimal address. For example, 255.0.0.0 indicates that each bit equal to 1 means that the corresponding address bit belongs to the network address. – The network mask can be indicated as a slash (/) and number. For example, /8 indicates that the first 8 bits of the mask are ones, and the corresponding bits of the address are network address.

The L2VPN feature enables service providers (SPs) to provide Layer 2 services to geographically disparate customer sites. Typically, an SP uses an access network to connect the customer to the core network. On the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, this access network is typically Ethernet. Traffic from the customer travels over this link to the edge of the SP core network. The traffic then tunnels through an L2VPN over the SP core network to another edge router. The edge router sends the traffic down another attachment circuit (AC) to the customer's remote site. On the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, an AC is an interface that is attached to an L2VPN component, such as a bridge domain, pseudowire, or local connect. The L2VPN feature enables users to implement different types of end-to-end services. Cisco IOS XR software supports a point-to-point end-to-end service, where two Ethernet circuits are connected together. An L2VPN Ethernet port can operate in one of two modes: • Port Mode—In this mode, all packets reaching the port are sent over the PW (pseudowire), regardless of any VLAN tags that are present on the packets. In VLAN mode, the configuration is performed under the l2transport configuration mode. • VLAN Mode—Each VLAN on a CE (customer edge) or access network to PE (provider edge) link can be configured as a separate L2VPN connection (using either VC type 4 or VC type 5). In VLAN mode, the configuration is performed under the individual subinterface. Switching can take place in three ways: • AC-to-PW—Traffic reaching the PE is tunneled over a PW (and conversely, traffic arriving over the PW is sent out over the AC). This is the most common scenario. • Local switching—Traffic arriving on one AC is immediately sent out of another AC without passing through a pseudowire. • PW stitching—Traffic arriving on a PW is not sent to an AC, but is sent back into the core over another PW. Keep the following in mind when configuring L2VPN on an Ethernet interface: • L2VPN links support QoS (Quality of Service) and MTU (maximum transmission unit) configuration. • If your network requires that packets are transported transparently, you may need to modify the packet’s destination MAC (Media Access Control) address at the edge of the Service Provider (SP) network. This prevents the packet from being consumed by the devices in the SP network. Use the show interfaces command to display AC and PW information. To configure a point-to-point pseudowire xconnect on an AC, refer to these documents: • Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router L2VPN and Ethernet Services Configuration Guide • Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router L2VPN and Ethernet Services Command Reference To attach Layer 2 service policies, such as QoS, to the Ethernet interface, refer to the appropriate Cisco IOS XR software configuration guide.Configuring Ethernet Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet HC-27 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Gigabit Ethernet Protocol Standards Overview The Gigabit Ethernet interfaces support the following protocol standards: • IEEE 802.3 Physical Ethernet Infrastructure, page 30 • IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet, page 30 • IEEE 802.3z 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet, page 30 • IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gbps Ethernet, page 30 These standards are further described in the sections that follow. IEEE 802.3 Physical Ethernet Infrastructure The IEEE 802.3 protocol standards define the physical layer and MAC sublayer of the data link layer of wired Ethernet. IEEE 802.3 uses Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) access at a variety of speeds over a variety of physical media. The IEEE 802.3 standard covers 10 Mbps Ethernet. Extensions to the IEEE 802.3 standard specify implementations for Gigabit Ethernet, 10-Gigabit Ethernet, and Fast Ethernet. IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet The IEEE 802.3ab protocol standards, or Gigabit Ethernet over copper (also known as 1000BaseT) is an extension of the existing Fast Ethernet standard. It specifies Gigabit Ethernet operation over the Category 5e/6 cabling systems already installed, making it a highly cost-effective solution. As a result, most copper-based environments that run Fast Ethernet can also run Gigabit Ethernet over the existing network infrastructure to dramatically boost network performance for demanding applications. IEEE 802.3z 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Gigabit Ethernet builds on top of the Ethernet protocol, but increases speed tenfold over Fast Ethernet to 1000 Mbps, or 1 Gbps. Gigabit Ethernet allows Ethernet to scale from 10 or 100 Mbps at the desktop to 100 Mbps up to 1000 Mbps in the data center. Gigabit Ethernet conforms to the IEEE 802.3z protocol standard. By leveraging the current Ethernet standard and the installed base of Ethernet and Fast Ethernet switches and routers, network managers do not need to retrain and relearn a new technology in order to provide support for Gigabit Ethernet. IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gbps Ethernet Under the International Standards Organization’s Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, Ethernet is fundamentally a Layer 2 protocol. 10-Gigabit Ethernet uses the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet MAC protocol, the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet frame format, and the minimum and maximum IEEE 802.3 frame size. 10 Gbps Ethernet conforms to the IEEE 802.3ae protocol standards. Just as 1000BASE-X and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) remained true to the Ethernet model, 10-Gigabit Ethernet continues the natural evolution of Ethernet in speed and distance. Because it is a full-duplex only and fiber-only technology, it does not need the carrier-sensing multiple-access with the CSMA/CD protocol that defines slower, half-duplex Ethernet technologies. In every other respect, 10-Gigabit Ethernet remains true to the original Ethernet model.Configuring Ethernet Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet HC-28 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 IEEE 802.3ba 100 Gbps Ethernet IEEE 802.3ba is supported on the Cisco 1-Port 100-Gigabit Ethernet PLIM beginning in Cisco IOS XR 4.0.1. MAC Address A MAC address is a unique 6-byte address that identifies the interface at Layer 2. MAC Accounting The MAC address accounting feature provides accounting information for IP traffic based on the source and destination MAC addresses on LAN interfaces. This feature calculates the total packet and byte counts for a LAN interface that receives or sends IP packets to or from a unique MAC address. It also records a time stamp for the last packet received or sent. These statistics are used for traffic monitoring, debugging and billing. For example, with this feature you can determine the volume of traffic that is being sent to and/or received from various peers at NAPS/peering points. This feature is currently supported on Ethernet, FastEthernet, and bundle interfaces and supports Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF), distributed CEF (dCEF), flow, and optimum switching. Note A maximum of 512 MAC addresses per trunk interface are supported for MAC address accounting. Ethernet MTU The Ethernet maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the size of the largest frame, minus the 4-byte frame check sequence (FCS), that can be transmitted on the Ethernet network. Every physical network along the destination of a packet can have a different MTU. Cisco IOS XR software supports two types of frame forwarding processes: • Fragmentation for IPV4 packets–In this process, IPv4 packets are fragmented as necessary to fit within the MTU of the next-hop physical network. Note IPv6 does not support fragmentation. • MTU discovery process determines largest packet size–This process is available for all IPV6 devices, and for originating IPv4 devices. In this process, the originating IP device determines the size of the largest IPv6 or IPV4 packet that can be sent without being fragmented. The largest packet is equal to the smallest MTU of any network between the IP source and the IP destination devices. If a packet is larger than the smallest MTU of all the networks in its path, that packet will be fragmented as necessary. This process ensures that the originating device does not send an IP packet that is too large. Jumbo frame support is automatically enable for frames that exceed the standard frame size. The default value is 1514 for standard frames and 1518 for 802.1Q tagged frames. These numbers exclude the 4-byte frame check sequence (FCS).

It is fundamentally different from the usual full- and half-duplex flow control used on standard management interfaces. Flow control can be activated or deactivated for ingress traffic only. It is automatically implemented for egress traffic. 802.1Q VLAN A VLAN is a group of devices on one or more LANs that are configured so that they can communicate as if they were attached to the same wire, when in fact they are located on a number of different LAN segments. Because VLANs are based on logical instead of physical connections, it is very flexible for user and host management, bandwidth allocation, and resource optimization. The IEEE's 802.1Q protocol standard addresses the problem of breaking large networks into smaller parts so broadcast and multicast traffic does not consume more bandwidth than necessary. The standard also helps provide a higher level of security between segments of internal networks. The 802.1Q specification establishes a standard method for inserting VLAN membership information into Ethernet frames. VRRP The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) eliminates the single point of failure inherent in the static default routed environment. VRRP specifies an election protocol that dynamically assigns responsibility for a virtual router to one of the VPN concentrators on a LAN. The VRRP VPN concentrator controlling the IP addresses associated with a virtual router is called the master, and forwards packets sent to those IP addresses. When the master becomes unavailable, a backup VPN concentrator takes the place of the master. For more information on VRRP, see the Implementing VRRP module of Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router IP Addresses and Services Configuration Guide. HSRP Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP) is a proprietary protocol from Cisco. HSRP is a routing protocol that provides backup to a router in the event of failure. Several routers are connected to the same segment of an Ethernet, FDDI, or token-ring network and work together to present the appearance of a single virtual router on the LAN. The routers share the same IP and MAC addresses and therefore, in the event of failure of one router, the hosts on the LAN are able to continue forwarding packets to a consistent IP and MAC address. The transfer of routing responsibilities from one device to another is transparent to the user. HSRP is designed to support non disruptive switchover of IP traffic in certain circumstances and to allow hosts to appear to use a single router and to maintain connectivity even if the actual first hop router they are using fails. In other words, HSRP protects against the failure of the first hop router when the source host cannot learn the IP address of the first hop router dynamically. Multiple routers participate in HSRP and in concert create the illusion of a single virtual router. HSRP ensures that one and only one of the routers is forwarding packets on behalf of the virtual router. End hosts forward their packets to the virtual router. Configuring Ethernet Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet HC-30 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 The router forwarding packets is known as the active router. A standby router is selected to replace the active router should it fail. HSRP provides a mechanism for determining active and standby routers, using the IP addresses on the participating routers. If an active router fails a standby router can take over without a major interruption in the host's connectivity. HSRP runs on top of User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and uses port number 1985. Routers use their actual IP address as the source address for protocol packets, not the virtual IP address, so that the HSRP routers can identify each other. For more information on HSRP, see the Implementing HSRP module of Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router IP Addresses and Services Configuration Guide. Link Autonegotiation on Ethernet Interfaces Link autonegotiation ensures that devices that share a link segment are automatically configured with the highest performance mode of interoperation. Use the negotiation auto command in interface configuration mode to enable link autonegotiation on an Ethernet interface. On line card Ethernet interfaces, link autonegotiation is disabled by default. Note The negotiation auto command is available on Gigabit Ethernet interfaces only. Subinterfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router In Cisco IOS XR, interfaces are, by default, main interfaces. A main interface is also called a trunk interface, which is not to be confused with the usage of the word trunk in the context of VLAN trunking. There are three types of trunk interfaces: • Physical • Bundle On the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, physical interfaces are automatically created when the router recognizes a card and its physical interfaces. However, bundle interfaces are not automatically created. They are created when they are configured by the user. The following configuration samples are examples of trunk interfaces being created: • interface gigabitethernet 0/5/0/0 • interface bundle-ether 1 A subinterface is a logical interface that is created under a trunk interface. To create a subinterface, the user must first identify a trunk interface under which to place it. In the case of bundle interfaces, if one does not already exist, a bundle interface must be created before any subinterfaces can be created under it. The user then assigns a subinterface number to the subinterface to be created. The subinterface number must be a positive integer from zero to some high value. For a given trunk interface, each subinterface under it must have a unique value. Subinterface numbers do not need to be contiguous or in numeric order. For example, the following subinterfaces numbers would be valid under one trunk interface: 1001, 0, 97, 96, 100000 Subinterfaces can never have the same subinterface number under one trunk.

Layer 2, Layer 3, and EFP's On the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, a trunk interface can be either a Layer 2 or Layer 3 interface. A Layer 2 interface is configured using the interface command with the l2transport keyword. When the l2transport keyword is not used, the interface is a Layer 3 interface. Subinterfaces are configured as Layer 2 or Layer 3 subinterface in the same way. A Layer 3 trunk interface or subinterface is a routed interface and can be assigned an IP address. Traffic sent on that interface is routed. A Layer 2 trunk interface or subinterface is a switched interface and cannot be assigned an IP address. A Layer 2 interface must be connected to an L2VPN component. Once it is connected, it is called an access connection. Subinterfaces can only be created under a Layer 3 trunk interface. Subinterfaces cannot be created under a Layer 2 trunk interface. A Layer 3 trunk interface can have any combination of Layer 2 and Layer 3 interfaces. The following example shows an attempt to configure a subinterface under an Layer 2 trunk and the commit errors that occur. It also shows an attempt to change the Layer 2 trunk interface to an Layer 3 interface and the errors that occur because the interface already had an IP address assigned to it.

All subinterfaces must have unique encapsulation statements, so that the router can send incoming packets and frames to the correct subinterface. If a subinterface does not have an encapsulation statement, the router will not send any traffic to it. In Cisco IOS XR, an Ethernet Flow Point (EFP) is implemented as a Layer 2 subinterface, and consequently, a Layer 2 subinterface is often called an EFP. For more information about EFPs, see the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router L2VPN and Ethernet Services Configuration Guide. A Layer 2 trunk interface can be used as an access connection. However, a Layer 2 trunk interface is not an EFP because an EFP, by definition, is a substream of an overall stream of traffic. Cisco IOS XR also has other restrictions on what can be configured as a Layer 2 or Layer 3 interface. Certain configuration blocks only accept Layer 3 and not Layer 2. For example, OSPF only accepts Layer 3 trunks and subinterface. Refer to the appropriate Cisco IOS XR configuration guide for other restrictions. Enhanced Performance Monitoring for Layer 2 Subinterfaces (EFPs) Beginning in Cisco IOS XR Release 4.0.1, the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router adds support for basic counters for performance monitoring on Layer 2 subinterfaces. This section provides a summary of the new support for Layer 2 interface counters. For information about how to configure Performance Monitoring, see the “Implementing Performance Management” chapter of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router System Monitoring Configuration Guide. The interface basic-counters keyword has been added to support a new entity for performance statistics collection and display on Layer 2 interfaces in the following commands: • performance-mgmt statistics interface basic-counters • performance-mgmt threshold interface basic-counters • performance-mgmt apply statistics interface basic-counters • performance-mgmt apply threshold interface basic-counters • performance-mgmt apply monitor interface basic-counters • show performance-mgmt monitor interface basic-counters • show performance-mgmt statistics interface basic-countersConfiguring Ethernet Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet HC-36 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 The performance-mgmt threshold interface basic-counters command supports the following attribute values for Layer 2 statistics, which also appear in the show performance-mgmt statistics interface basic-counters and show performance-mgmt monitor interface basic-counters command: Other Performance Management Enhancements The following additional performance management enhancements are included in Cisco IOS XR Release 4.0.1: • You can retain performance management history statistics across a process restart or route processor (RP) failover using the new history-persistent keyword option for the performance-mgmt statistics interface command. • You can save performance management statistics to a local file using the performance-mgmt resources dump local command. • You can filter performance management instances by defining a regular expression group (performance-mgmt regular-expression command), which includes multiple regular expression indices that specify strings to match. You apply a defined regular expression group to one or more statistics or threshold templates in the performance-mgmt statistics interface or performance-mgmt thresholds interface commands. Frequency Synchronization and SyncE Cisco IOS XR Release 3.9 introduces support for SyncE-capable Ethernet on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. Frequency Synchronization provides the ability to distribute precision clock signals around the network. Highly accurate timing signals are initially injected into the Cisco ASR 9000 router in the network from an external timing technology (such as Cesium atomic clocks, or GPS), and used to clock the router's physical interfaces. Peer routers can then recover this precision frequency from the line, and also transfer it around the network. This feature is traditionally applicable to SONET/SDH networks, but with Cisco IOS XR Release 3.9, is now provided over Ethernet for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers with Synchronous Ethernet capability. interface controller Attribute Description InOctets Bytes received (64-bit) InPackets Packets received (64-bit) InputQueueDrops Input queue drops (64-bit) InputTotalDrops Inbound correct packets discarded (64-bit) InputTotalErrors Inbound incorrect packets discarded (64-bit) OutOctets Bytes sent (64-bit) OutPackets Packets sent (64-bit) OutputQueueDrops Output queue drops (64-bit) OutputTotalDrops Outband correct packets discarded (64-bit) OutputTotalErrors Outband incorrect packets discarded (64-bit)Configuring Ethernet Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure Ethernet HC-37 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 clock-interface sync location Where expands to: frequency synchronization selection input ssm disable priority quality transmit { lowest [ highest ] | highest | exact } quality receive { lowest [ highest ] | highest | exact } wait-to-restore Where: = itu-t option { 1 | 2 generation { 1 | 2 } } frequency synchronization clock-interface { independent | system } quality itu-t option { 1 | 2 generation { 1 | 2 }} log selection { changes | errors } Synchronous Ethernet is the ability to provide PHY-level frequency distribution through an Ethernet port. Previously, SDH and SONET devices were used in conjunction with external timing technology (primary reference clock [PRC] or primary reference source [PRS] using Cesium oscillators and / or global positioning system [GPS] as the clock source) to provide accurate and stable frequency reference. Using similar external references as a source, SyncE, natively supported on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers, aims to achieve the same function.

Step 5 ipv4 address ip-address mask Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# ipv4 address 172.18.189.38 255.255.255.224 Assigns an IP address and subnet mask to the interface. • Replace ip-address with the primary IPv4 address for the interface. • Replace mask with the mask for the associated IP subnet. The network mask can be specified in either of two ways: – The network mask can be a four-part dotted decimal address. For example, 255.0.0.0 indicates that each bit equal to 1 means that the corresponding address bit belongs to the network address. – The network mask can be indicated as a slash (/) and number. For example, /8 indicates that the first 8 bits of the mask are ones, and the corresponding bits of the address are network address.

Step 9 negotiation auto Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# negotiation auto (Optional) Enables autonegotiation on a Gigabit Ethernet interface. • Autonegotiation must be explicitly enabled on both ends of the connection, or speed and duplex settings must be configured manually on both ends of the connection. • If autonegotiation is enabled, any speed or duplex settings that you configure manually take precedence. Note The negotiation auto command is available on Gigabit Ethernet interfaces only. Step 10 no shutdown Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# no shutdown Removes the shutdown configuration, which forces an interface administratively down. Step 11 end or commit Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# end or RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# commit Saves configuration changes. • When you issue the end command, the system prompts you to commit changes: Uncommitted changes found, commit them before exiting(yes/no/cancel)? [cancel]: – Entering yes saves configuration changes to the running configuration file, exits the configuration session, and returns the router to EXEC mode. – Entering no exits the configuration session and returns the router to EXEC mode without committing the configuration changes. – Entering cancel leaves the router in the current configuration session without exiting or committing the configuration changes. • Use the commit command to save the configuration changes to the running configuration file and remain within the configuration session.

If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance. Before configuring Ethernet OAM, confirm that at least one of the Gigabit Ethernet line cards supported on the router is installed: • 2-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet, 20-Port Gigabit Ethernet Combination line card (A9K-2T20GE-B and A9K-2T20GE-L) • 4-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet line card (A9K-4T-L, -B, or -E) • 8-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet DX line card (A9K-8T/4-L, -B, or -E) • 8-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet line card (A9K-8T-L, -B, or -E) • 16-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ line card (A9K-16T/8-B and A9K-16T/8-B+AIP) • 40-Port Gigabit Ethernet line card (A9K-40GE-L, -B, or -E)Configuring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-54 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM To configure Ethernet OAM, you should understand the following concepts: • Ethernet Link OAM, page 54 • Ethernet CFM, page 56 • Ethernet SLA (Y.1731 Performance Monitoring), page 75 • Ethernet LMI, page 79 • Unidirectional Link Detection Protocol, page 83 Ethernet Link OAM Ethernet as a Metro Area Network (MAN) or a Wide Area Network (WAN) technology benefits greatly from the implementation of Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) features. Ethernet link OAM features allow Service Providers to monitor the quality of the connections on a MAN or WAN. Service providers can monitor specific events, take actions on events, and if necessary, put specific interfaces into loopback mode for troubleshooting. Ethernet link OAM operates on a single, physical link and it can be configured to monitor either side or both sides of that link. Ethernet link OAM can be configured in the following ways: • A Link OAM profile can be configured, and this profile can be used to set the parameters for multiple interfaces. • Link OAM can be configured directly on an interface. When an interface is also using a link OAM profile, specific parameters that are set in the profile can be overridden by configuring a different value directly on the interface. An EOAM profile simplifies the process of configuring EOAM features on multiple interfaces. An Ethernet OAM profile, and all of its features, can be referenced by other interfaces, allowing other interfaces to inherit the features of that Ethernet OAM profile. Individual Ethernet link OAM features can be configured on individual interfaces without being part of a profile. In these cases, the individually configured features always override the features in the profile. The preferred method of configuring custom EOAM settings is to create an EOAM profile in Ethernet configuration mode and then attach it to an individual interface or to multiple interfaces. The following standard Ethernet Link OAM features are supported on the router: • Neighbor Discovery, page 55 • Link Monitoring, page 55 • MIB Retrieval, page 55 • Miswiring Detection (Cisco-Proprietary), page 55 • Remote Loopback, page 55 • SNMP Traps, page 55 • Unidirectional Link Fault Detection, page 55Configuring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-55 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Neighbor Discovery Neighbor discovery enables each end of a link to learn the OAM capabilities of the other end and establish an OAM peer relationship. Each end also can require that the peer have certain capabilities before it will establish a session. You can configure certain actions to be taken if there is a capabilities conflict or if a discovery process times out, using the action capabilities-conflict or action discovery-timeout commands. Link Monitoring Link monitoring enables an OAM peer to monitor faults that cause the quality of a link to deteriorate over time. When link monitoring is enabled, an OAM peer can be configured to take action when the configured thresholds are exceeded. MIB Retrieval MIB retrieval enables an OAM peer on one side of an interface to get the MIB variables from the remote side of the link. The MIB variables that are retrieved from the remote OAM peer are READ ONLY. Miswiring Detection (Cisco-Proprietary) Miswiring Detection is a Cisco-proprietary feature that uses the 32-bit vendor field in every Information OAMPDU to identify potential miswiring cases. Remote Loopback Remote loopback enables one side of a link to put the remote side of the link into loopback mode for testing. When remote loopback is enabled, all packets initiated by the master side of the link are looped back to the master side, unaltered by the remote (slave) side. In remote loopback mode, the slave side is not allowed to inject any data into the packets. SNMP Traps SNMP traps can be enabled or disabled on an Ethernet OAM interface. Unidirectional Link Fault Detection Unidirectional link fault detection describes an Ethernet link OAM function that runs directly on physical Ethernet interfaces (not VLAN subinterfaces or bundles) that uses a defined link fault message to signal link faults to a remote host. Unidirectional link fault detection offers similar functionality to Gigabit Ethernet and Ten Gigabit Ethernet hardware-level signaling of a link fault, but it is done at a higher protocol layer as part of Ethernet link OAM. The hardware function uses the Remote Fault Indication bit set in a frame that is signaled out-of-band, where unidirectional link fault detection signals the error using an OAMPDU. Unidirectional link fault detection only applies to a single, physical link. When the remote host receives the link fault message, the interface can be shut down for all higher-layer protocols, and specifically, Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing protocols. While the fault is detected, a link fault message is sent periodically to the remote host. Once a fault is no longer detected, the link fault message is no longer sent, and the remote host can bring back the interface.Configuring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-56 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Unidirectional link fault detection is configured using the uni-directional link-fault detection command, and does not affect how the receipt of link-fault messages are handled by the router. Actions to be taken for the receipt of link-fault messages are configured using the action uni-directional link-fault command. Ethernet CFM Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) is a service-level OAM protocol that provides tools for monitoring and troubleshooting end-to-end Ethernet services per VLAN. This includes proactive connectivity monitoring, fault verification, and fault isolation. CFM uses standard Ethernet frames and can be run on any physical media that is capable of transporting Ethernet service frames. Unlike most other Ethernet protocols which are restricted to a single physical link, CFM frames can transmit across the entire end-to-end Ethernet network. CFM is defined in two standards: • IEEE 802.1ag—Defines the core features of the CFM protocol. • ITU-T Y.1731—Redefines, but maintains compatibility with the features of IEEE 802.1ag, and defines some additional features. Ethernet CFM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router supports the following functions of ITU-T Y.1731: • ETH-CC, ETH-RDI, ETH-LB, ETH-LT—These are equivalent to the corresponding features defined in IEEE 802.1ag. Note The Linktrace responder procedures defined in IEEE 802.1ag are used rather than the procedures defined in Y.1731; however, these are interoperable. • ETH-AIS—The reception of ETH-LCK messages is also supported. • ETH-DM—This is supported with the Ethernet SLA feature. For more information about Ethernet SLA, see the “Ethernet SLA (Y.1731 Performance Monitoring)” section on page 75. To understand how the CFM maintenance model works, you need to understand the following concepts and features: • Maintenance Domains, page 57 • Services, page 59 • Maintenance Points, page 59 • CFM Protocol Messages, page 62 • MEP Cross-Check, page 69 • Configurable Logging, page 70 • EFD, page 70 • Flexible VLAN Tagging for CFM, page 71 • CFM on MC-LAG, page 72Configuring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-57 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Maintenance Domains A maintenance domain describes a management space for the purpose of managing and administering a network. A domain is owned and operated by a single entity and defined by the set of interfaces internal to it and at its boundary, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 CFM Maintenance Domain A maintenance domain is defined by the bridge ports that are provisioned within it. Domains are assigned maintenance levels, in the range of 0 to 7, by the administrator. The level of the domain is useful in defining the hierarchical relationships of multiple domains. CFM maintenance domains allow different organizations to use CFM in the same network, but independently. For example, consider a service provider who offers a service to a customer, and to provide that service, they use two other operators in segments of the network. In this environment, CFM can be used in the following ways: • The customer can use CFM between their CE devices, to verify and manage connectivity across the whole network. • The service provider can use CFM between their PE devices, to verify and manage the services they are providing. • Each operator can use CFM within their operator network, to verify and manage connectivity within their network. Each organization uses a different CFM maintenance domain.

Note In CFM diagrams, the conventions are that triangles represent MEPs, pointing in the direction that the MEP sends CFM frames, and circles represent MIPs. For more information about MEPs and MIPs, see the “Maintenance Points” section on page 59. Figure 2 Different CFM Maintenance Domains Across a Network To ensure that the CFM frames for each domain do not interfere with each other, each domain is assigned a maintenance level, between 0 and 7. Where domains are nested, as in this example, the encompassing domain must have a higher level than the domain it encloses. In this case, the domain levels must be negotiated between the organizations involved. The maintenance level is carried in all CFM frames that relate to that domain. 207581 Operator Domains Service Provider Domain Level 6 Operator 1 CE 1 PE 1 PE 2 PE 3 PE 4 CE 2 Operator 2 Customer Domain Level 7 MEP Level 6 Level 6 Level 4 Level 3 MEP MEP MIP MIP MIP MEP MEP MIP MIP MIP MEPConfiguring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-59 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 CFM maintenance domains may touch or nest, but cannot intersect. Figure 3 illustrates the supported structure for touching and nested domains, and the unsupported intersection of domains. Figure 3 Supported CFM Maintenance Domain Structure Services A CFM service allows an organization to partition its CFM maintenance domain, according to the connectivity within the network. For example, if the network is divided into a number of virtual LANs (VLANs), a CFM service is created for each of these. CFM can then operate independently in each service. It is important that the CFM services match the network topology, so that CFM frames relating to one service cannot be received in a different service. For example, a service provider may use a separate CFM service for each of their customers, to verify and manage connectivity between that customer's end points. A CFM service is always associated with the maintenance domain that it operates within, and therefore with that domain's maintenance level. All CFM frames relating to the service carry the maintenance level of the corresponding domain. Note CFM Services are referred to as Maintenance Associations in IEEE 802.1ag and as Maintenance Entity Groups in ITU-T Y.1731. Maintenance Points A CFM Maintenance Point (MP) is an instance of a particular CFM service on a specific interface. CFM only operates on an interface if there is a CFM maintenance point on the interface; otherwise, CFM frames are forwarded transparently through the interface. A maintenance point is always associated with a particular CFM service, and therefore with a particular maintenance domain at a particular level. Maintenance points generally only process CFM frames at the same level as their associated maintenance domain. Frames at a higher maintenance level are always forwarded transparently, while frames at a lower maintenance level are normally dropped. This helps enforce the maintenance domain hierarchy described in the “Maintenance Domains” section on page 57, and ensures that CFM frames for a particular domain cannot leak out beyond the boundary of the domain. There are two types of MP: • Maintenance End Points (MEPs)—Created at the edge of the domain. Maintenance end points (MEPs) are members of a particular service within a domain and are responsible for sourcing and sinking CFM frames. They periodically transmit continuity check messages and receive similar 157282 Scenario A: Touching Domains OK Scenario B: Nested Domains OK Scenario C: Intersecting Domains Not AllowedConfiguring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-60 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 messages from other MEPs within their domain. They also transmit traceroute and loopback messages at the request of the administrator. MEPs are responsible for confining CFM messages within the domain. • Maintenance Intermediate Points (MIPs)—Created in the middle of the domain. Unlike MEPS, MIPs do allow CFM frames at their own level to be forwarded. MIP Creation Unlike MEPs, MIPs are not explicitly configured on each interface. MIPs are created automatically according to the algorithm specified in the CFM 802.1ag standard. The algorithm, in brief, operates as follows for each interface: – The bridge-domain or cross-connect for the interface is found, and all services associated with that bridge-domain or cross-connect are considered for MIP auto-creation. – The level of the highest-level MEP on the interface is found. From among the services considered above, the service in the domain with the lowest level that is higher than the highest MEP level is selected. If there are no MEPs on the interface, the service in the domain with the lowest level is selected. – The MIP auto-creation configuration (mip auto-create command) for the selected service is examined to determine whether a MIP should be created. Note Configuring a MIP auto-creation policy for a service does not guarantee that a MIP will automatically be created for that service. The policy is only considered if that service is selected by the algorithm first. MEP and CFM Processing Overview The boundary of a domain is an interface, rather than a bridge or host. Therefore, MEPs can be sub-divided into two categories: • Down MEPs—Send CFM frames from the interface where they are configured, and process CFM frames received on that interface. Down MEPs transmit AIS messages upward (toward the bridge domain or cross-connect). • Up MEPs—Send frames into the bridge relay function, as if they had been received on the interface where the MEP is configured. They process CFM frames that have been received on other interfaces, and have been switched through the bridge relay function as if they are going to be sent out of the interface where the MEP is configured. Up MEPs transmit AIS messages downward (toward the wire). However, AIS packets are only sent when there is a MIP configured on the same interface as the MEP and at the level of the MIP. Note The terms Down MEP and Up MEP are defined in the IEEE 802.1ag and ITU-T Y.1731 standards, and refer to the direction that CFM frames are sent from the MEP. The terms should not be confused with the operational status of the MEP.Configuring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-61 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Figure 4 illustrates the monitored areas for Down and Up MEPs. Figure 4 Monitored Areas for Down and Up MEPs Figure 5 shows maintenance points at different levels. Because domains are allowed to nest but not intersect (see Figure 3), a MEP at a low level always corresponds with a MEP or MIP at a higher level. In addition, only a single MIP is allowed on any interface—this is generally created in the lowest domain that exists at the interface and that does not have a MEP. Figure 5 CFM Maintenance Points at Different Levels MIPs and Up MEPs can only exist on switched (Layer 2) interfaces, because they send and receive frames from the bridge relay function. Down MEPs can be created on switched (Layer 2) or routed (Layer 3) interfaces.

MEPs never allow CFM frames at the level of the MEP to be forwarded, so the STP block is maintained. MIPs also continue to receive CFM frames at their level if the interface is STP blocked, and can respond to any received frames. However, MIPs do not allow CFM frames at the level of the MIP to be forwarded if the interface is blocked. Note A separate set of CFM maintenance levels is created every time a VLAN tag is pushed onto the frame. Therefore, if CFM frames are received on an interface which pushes an additional tag, so as to “tunnel” the frames over part of the network, the CFM frames will not be processed by any MPs within the tunnel, even if they are at the same level. For example, if a CFM MP is created on an interface with an encapsulation that matches a single VLAN tag, any CFM frames that are received at the interface that have two VLAN tags will be forwarded transparently, regardless of the CFM level. CFM Protocol Messages The CFM protocol consists of a number of different message types, with different purposes. All CFM messages use the CFM EtherType, and carry the CFM maintenance level for the domain to which they apply. This section describes the following CFM messages: • Continuity Check (IEEE 802.1ag and ITU-T Y.1731), page 62 • Loopback (IEEE 802.1ag and ITU-T Y.1731), page 64 • Linktrace (IEEE 802.1ag and ITU-T Y.1731), page 65 • Exploratory Linktrace (Cisco), page 67 • Alarm Indication Signal (ITU-T Y.1731), page 68 • Delay and Jitter Measurement (ITU-T Y.1731), page 69 Continuity Check (IEEE 802.1ag and ITU-T Y.1731) Continuity Check Messages (CCMs) are “heartbeat” messages exchanged periodically between all the MEPs in a service. Each MEP sends out multicast CCMs, and receives CCMs from all the other MEPs in the service—these are referred to as peer MEPs. This allows each MEP to discover its peer MEPs, and to verify that there is connectivity between them. MIPs also receive CCMs. MIPs use the information to build a MAC learning database that is used when responding to Linktrace. For more information about Linktrace, see the “Linktrace (IEEE 802.1ag and ITU-T Y.1731)” section on page 65.Configuring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-63 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Figure 6 Continuity Check Message Flow All the MEPs in a service must transmit CCMs at the same interval. IEEE 802.1ag defines 7 possible intervals that can be used: • 3.3ms • 10ms • 100ms • 1s • 10s • 1 minute • 10 minutes A MEP detects a loss of connectivity with one of its peer MEPs when some number of CCMs have been missed. This occurs when sufficient time has passed during which a certain number of CCMs were expected, given the CCM interval. This number is called the loss threshold, and is usually set to 3. CCM messages carry a variety of information that allows different defects to be detected in the service. This information includes: • A configured identifier for the domain of the transmitting MEP. This is referred to as the Maintenance Domain Identifier (MDID). • A configured identifier for the service of the transmitting MEP. This is referred to as the Short MA Name (SMAN). Together, the MDID and the SMAN make up the Maintenance Association Identifier (MAID). The MAID must be configured identically on every MEP in the service. • A configured numeric identifier for the MEP (the MEP ID). Each MEP in the service must be configured with a different MEP ID. • A sequence number. • A Remote Defect Indication (RDI). Each MEP includes this in the CCMs it is sending, if it has detected a defect relating to the CCMs it is receiving. This notifies all the MEPs in the service that a defect has been detected somewhere in the service. • The interval at which CCMs are being transmitted.

Note The status of the interface (up/down) should not be confused with the direction of any MEPs on the interface (Up MEPs/Down MEPs). The following defects can be detected from received CCMs: • Interval mismatch—The CCM interval in the received CCM does not match the interval that the MEP is sending CCMs. • Level mismatch—A MEP has received a CCM carrying a lower maintenance level than the MEPs own level. • Loop—A CCM is received with the source MAC address equal to the MAC address of the interface where the MEP is operating. • Configuration error—A CCM is received with the same MEP ID as the MEP ID configured for the receiving MEP. • Cross-connect—A CCM is received with an MAID that does not match the locally configured MAID. This generally indicates a VLAN misconfiguration within the network, such that CCMs from one service are leaking into a different service. • Peer interface down—A CCM is received that indicates the interface on the peer is down. • Remote defect indication—A CCM is received carrying a remote defect indication. Note This defect does not cause the MEP to include a remote defect indication in the CCMs that it is sending. Out-of-sequence CCMs can also be detected by monitoring the sequence number in the received CCMs from each peer MEP. However, this is not considered a CCM defect. Loopback (IEEE 802.1ag and ITU-T Y.1731) Loopback Messages (LBM) and Loopback Replies (LBR) are used to verify connectivity between a local MEP and a particular remote MP. At the request of the administrator, a local MEP sends unicast LBMs to the remote MP. On receiving each LBM, the target maintenance point sends an LBR back to the originating MEP. Loopback indicates whether the destination is reachable or not—it does not allow hop-by-hop discovery of the path. It is similar in concept to an ICMP Echo (ping). Since loopback messages are destined for unicast addresses, they are forwarded like normal data traffic, while observing the maintenance levels. At each device that the loopback reaches, if the outgoing interface is known (in the bridge's forwarding database), then the frame is sent out on that interface. If the outgoing interface is not known, then the message is flooded on all interfaces.Configuring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-65 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Figure 7 shows an example of CFM loopback message flow between a MEP and MIP. Figure 7 Loopback Messages Loopback messages can be padded with user-specified data. This allows data corruption to be detected in the network. They also carry a sequence number which allows for out-of-order frames to be detected. Except for one-way delay and jitter measurements, loopback messages can also be used for Ethernet SLA, if the peer does not support delay measurement. Note The Ethernet CFM loopback function should not be confused with the remote loopback functionality in Ethernet Link OAM (see the “Remote Loopback” section on page 55). CFM loopback is used to test connectivity with a remote MP, and only the CFM LBM packets are reflected back, but Ethernet Link OAM remote loopback is used to test a link by taking it out of normal service and putting it into a mode where it reflects back all packets. Linktrace (IEEE 802.1ag and ITU-T Y.1731) Linktrace Messages (LTM) and Linktrace Replies (LTR) are used to track the path (hop-by-hop) to a unicast destination MAC address. At the request of the operator, a local MEP sends an LTM. Each hop where there is a maintenance point sends an LTR back to the originating MEP. This allows the administrator to discover connectivity data about the path. It is similar in concept to IP traceroute, although the mechanism is different. In IP traceroute, successive probes are sent, whereas CFM Linktrace uses a single LTM which is forwarded by each MP in the path. LTMs are multicast, and carry the unicast target MAC address as data within the frame. They are intercepted at each hop where there is a maintenance point, and either retransmitted or dropped to discover the unicast path to the target MAC address.

Figure 8 Linktrace Message Flow The linktrace mechanism is designed to provide useful information even after a network failure. This allows it to be used to locate failures, for example after a loss of continuity is detected. To achieve this, each MP maintains a CCM Learning Database. This maps the source MAC address for each received CCM to the interface through which the CCM was received. It is similar to a typical bridge MAC learning database, except that it is based only on CCMs and it times out much more slowly—on the order of days rather than minutes. Note In IEEE 802.1ag, the CCM Learning Database is referred to as the MIP CCM Database. However, it applies to both MIPs and MEPs. In IEEE 802.1ag, when an MP receives an LTM message, it determines whether to send a reply using the following steps: 1. The target MAC address in the LTM is looked up in the bridge MAC learning table. If the MAC address is known, and therefore the egress interface is known, then an LTR is sent. 2. If the MAC address is not found in the bridge MAC learning table, then it is looked up in the CCM learning database. If it is found, then an LTR is sent. 3. If the MAC address is not found, then no LTR is sent (and the LTM is not forwarded). If the target MAC has never been seen previously in the network, the linktrace operation will not produce any results. Note IEEE 802.1ag and ITU-T Y.1731 define slightly different linktrace mechanisms. In particular, the use of the CCM learning database and the algorithm described above for responding to LTM messages are specific to IEEE 802.1ag. IEEE 802.1ag also specifies additional information that can be included in LTRs. Regardless of the differences, the two mechanisms are interoperable.

It has two primary purposes: • Provide a mechanism to locate faults in cases where standard linktrace does not work, such as when a MAC address has never been seen previously in the network. For example, if a new MEP has been provisioned but is not working, standard linktrace does not help isolate a problem because no frames will ever have been received from the new MEP. Exploratory Linktrace overcomes this problem. • Provide a mechanism to map the complete active network topology from a single node. This can only be done currently by examining the topology (for example, the STP blocking state) on each node in the network individually, and manually combining this information to create the overall active topology map. Exploratory linktrace allows this to be done automatically from a single node. Exploratory Linktrace is implemented using the Vendor Specific Message (VSM) and Vendor Specific Reply (VSR) frames defined in ITU-T Y.1731. These allow vendor-specific extensions to be implemented without degrading interoperability. Exploratory Linktrace can safely be deployed in a network that includes other CFM implementations because those implementations will simply ignore the Exploratory Linktrace messages. Exploratory Linktrace is initiated at the request of the administrator, and results in the local MEP sending a multicast Exploratory Linktrace message. Each MP in the network that receives the message sends an Exploratory Linktrace reply. MIPs that receive the message also forward it on. The initiating MEP uses all the replies to create a tree of the overall network topology. Figure 9 show an example of the Exploratory Linktrace message flow between MEPs. Figure 9 Exploratory Linktrace Messages and Replies To avoid overloading the originating MEP with replies in a large network, responding MPs delay sending their replies for a random amount of time, and that time increases as the size of the network increases. 278407 ELM ELR MEPConfiguring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-68 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 In a large network, there will be a corresponding large number of replies and the resulting topology map will be equally large. If only a part of the network is of interest, for example, because a problem has already been narrowed down to a small area, then the Exploratory Linktrace can be “directed” to start at a particular MP. Replies will thus only be received from MPs beyond that point in the network. The replies are still sent back to the originating MEP. Alarm Indication Signal (ITU-T Y.1731) Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) messages are used to rapidly notify MEPs when a fault is detected in the middle of a domain, in an event driven way. MEPs thereby learn of the fault much sooner than if they relied on detecting a loss of continuity, for example, failure to receive some number of consecutive CCMs. Unlike all other CFM messages, AIS messages are injected into the middle of a domain, and sent outward toward the MEPs at the edge of the domain. Typically, AIS messages are injected by a MEP in a lower level domain. To put it another way, when a MEP sends AIS messages, they are sent in the opposite direction to other CFM messages sent by the MEP, and at a level above the MEP’s own level. The AIS messages are received by the MEPs in the higher level domain, not by the peer MEPs in the same domain as the MEP sending the AIS. When a MEP receives an AIS message, it may itself send another AIS message at an even higher level. Figure 10 show an example of AIS message flow. The maintenance domain levels are numbered at the right side of the diagram. Figure 10 AIS Message Flow AIS is only applicable in point-to-point networks. In multipoint networks with redundant paths, a failure at a low level does not necessarily result in a failure at a higher level, as the network may reconverge so as to route around the failed link. AIS messages are typically sent by a MEP. However, AIS messages can also be sent when there is no MEP present, if a fault is detected in the underlying transport, such as if an interface goes down. In ITU-T Y.1731 these are referred to as server MEPs. AIS messages are sent in response to a number of failure conditions: • Detection of CCM defects, as described “Continuity Check (IEEE 802.1ag and ITU-T Y.1731)” section on page 62. Operator B Bridges Customer Equipment Operator A Bridges Customer Equipment 7 5 3 0 278408 AIS AIS AIS AIS AIS Fault AISConfiguring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-69 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 • Loss of continuity. • Receipt of AIS messages. • Failure in the underlying transport, such as when an interface is down. Received AIS messages can be used to detect and act on failures more quickly than waiting for a loss of continuity. They can also be used to suppress any failure action, on the basis that the failure has already been detected at a lower level and will be handled there. This is described in ITU-T Y.1731; however, the former is often more useful. Delay and Jitter Measurement (ITU-T Y.1731) The router supports one-way and two-way delay measurement using two packet types: • Delay Measurement Message (DMM) • Delay Measurement Response (DMR) These packets are unicast similar to loopback messages. The packets carry timestamps generated by the system time-of-day clock to support more accurate delay measurement, and also support an SLA manageability front-end. Beginning in Cisco IOS XR Release 4.1, the DDM & DDR packets carry timestamps derived from the DTI timing input on the clock-interface port on the RSP. However, unlike loopback messages, these message types can also measure one-way delay and jitter either from destination to source, or from source to destination. For more information about SLA, see the “Ethernet SLA (Y.1731 Performance Monitoring)” section on page 75. MEP Cross-Check MEP cross-check supports configuration of a set of expected peer MEPs so that errors can be detected when any of the known MEPs are missing, or if any additional peer MEPs are detected that are not in the expected group. The set of expected MEP IDs in the service is user-defined. Optionally, the corresponding MAC addresses can also be specified. CFM monitors the set of peer MEPs from which CCMs are being received. If no CCMs are ever received from one of the specified expected peer MEPs, or if a loss of continuity is detected, then a cross-check “missing” defect is detected. Similarly, if CCMs are received from a matching MEP ID but with the wrong source MAC address, a cross-check “missing” defect is detected. If CCMs are subsequently received that match the expected MEP ID, and if specified, the expected MAC address, then the defect is cleared. Note While loss of continuity can be detected for any peer MEP, it is only treated as a defect condition if cross-check is configured. If cross-check is configured and CCMs are received from a peer MEP with a MEP ID that is not expected, this is detected as a cross-check “unexpected” condition. However, this is not treated as a defect condition.Configuring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-70 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Configurable Logging CFM supports logging of various conditions to syslog. Logging can be enabled independently for each service, and when the following conditions occur: • New peer MEPs are detected, or loss of continuity with a peer MEP occurs. • Changes to the CCM defect conditions are detected. • Cross-check “missing” or “unexpected” conditions are detected. • AIS condition detected (AIS messages received) or cleared (AIS messages no longer received). • EFD used to shut down an interface, or bring it back up. EFD Ethernet Fault Detection (EFD) is a mechanism that allows Ethernet OAM protocols, such as CFM, to control the “line protocol” state of an interface. Unlike many other interface types, Ethernet interfaces do not have a line protocol, whose state is independent from that of the interface. For Ethernet interfaces, this role is handled by the physical-layer Ethernet protocol itself, and therefore if the interface is physically up, then it is available and traffic can flow. EFD changes this to allow CFM to act as the line protocol for Ethernet interfaces. This allows CFM to control the interface state so that if a CFM defect (such as AIS or loss of continuity) is detected with an expected peer MEP, the interface can be shut down. This not only stops any traffic flowing, but also triggers actions in any higher-level protocols to route around the problem. For example, in the case of Layer 2 interfaces, the MAC table would be cleared and MSTP would reconverge. For Layer 3 interfaces, the ARP cache would be cleared and potentially the IGP would reconverge. Note EFD can only be used for down MEPs. When EFD is used to shut down the interface, the CFM frames continue to flow. This allows CFM to detect when the problem has been resolved, and thus bring the interface backup automatically.Configuring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-71 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Figure 11 shows CFM detection of an error on one of its sessions EFD signaling an error to the corresponding MAC layer for the interface. This triggers the MAC to go to a down state, which further triggers all higher level protocols (Layer 2 pseudowires, IP protocols, and so on) to go down and also trigger a reconvergence where possible. As soon as CFM detects there is no longer any error, it can signal to EFD and all protocols will once again go active. Figure 11 CFM Error Detection and EFD Trigger Flexible VLAN Tagging for CFM The Flexible VLAN Tagging for CFM feature ensures that CFM packets are sent with the right VLAN tags so that they are appropriately handled as a CFM packet by the remote device. When packets are received by an edge router, they are treated as either CFM packets or data packets, depending on the number of tags in the header. The system differentiates between CFM packets and data packets based on the number of tags in the packet, and forwards the packets to the appropriate paths based on the number of tags in the packet. CFM frames are normally sent with the same VLAN tags as the corresponding customer data traffic on the interface, as defined by the configured encapsulation and tag rewrite operations. Likewise, received frames are treated as CFM frames if they have the correct number of tags as defined by the configured encapsulation and tag rewrite configuration, and are treated as data frames (that is, they are forwarded transparently) if they have more than this number of tags. In most cases, this behavior is as desired, since the CFM frames are then treated in exactly the same way as the data traffic flowing through the same service. However, in a scenario where multiple customer VLANs are multiplexed over a single multipoint provider service (for example, N:1 bundling), a different behavior might be desirable. 253927 DOWN L2VPN IPv4 MPLS EFD CFM MVRP Link OAM Packet I/O UP Interface IPv6 DOWN MAC layerConfiguring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-72 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Figure 12 shows an example of a network with multiple VLANS using CFM. Figure 12 Service Provider Network With Multiple VLANs and CFM Figure 12 shows a provider's access network, where the S-VLAN tag is used as the service delimiter. PE1 faces the customer, and PE2 is at the edge of the access network facing the core. N:1 bundling is used, so the interface encapsulation matches a range of C-VLAN tags. This could potentially be the full range, resulting in all:1 bundling. There is also a use case where only a single C-VLAN is matched, but the S-VLAN is nevertheless used as the service delimiter—this is more in keeping with the IEEE model, but limits the provider to 4094 services. CFM is used in this network with a MEP at each end of the access network, and MIPs on the boxes within the network (if it is native Ethernet). In the normal case, CFM frames are sent by the up MEP on PE1 with two VLAN tags, matching the customer data traffic. This means that at the core interfaces and at the MEP on PE2, the CFM frames are forwarded as if they were customer data traffic, since these interfaces match only on the S-VLAN tag. So, the CFM frames sent by the MEP on PE1 are not seen by any of the other MPs. Flexible VLAN tagging changes the encapsulation for CFM frames that are sent and received at Up MEPs. Flexible VLAN tagging allows the frames to be sent from the MEP on PE1 with just the S-VLAN tag that represents the provider service. If this is done, the core interfaces will treat the frames as CFM frames and they will be seen by the MIPs and by the MEP on PE2. Likewise, the MEP on PE1 should handle received frames with only one tag, as this is what it will receive from the MEP on PE2. To ensure that CFM packets from Up MEPs are routed to the appropriate paths successfully, tags may be set to a specific number in a domain service, using the tags command. Currently, tags can only be set to one (1). CFM on MC-LAG CFM on Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation Groups is supported on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router in the following typical network environment: • The customer edge (CE) device is a dual-homed device that is connected to two provider edge (PE) point-of-attachment (POA) devices. However, the dual-homed device operates without awareness of connectivity to multiple PEs. • The two points of attachment at the PE form a redundancy group (RG), with one POA functioning as the active POA, and the other as the standby POA for the dual-homed device link. • As with typical failover scenarios, if a failure occurs with the active POA, the standby POA takes over to retain the dual-homed device’s connectivity to the network.

Both levels of CFM support have certain restrictions and configuration guidelines that you must consider for successful implementation. This section includes the following topics: • RG-Level CFM, page 73 • POA-Level CFM, page 74 • Supported Features for CFM on MC-LAG, page 74 • Restrictions for CFM on MC-LAG, page 74 For more information about LAG and MC-LAG on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, see the “Configuring Link Bundling on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router” chapter in this guide. RG-Level CFM RG-level CFM is comprised of three areas of monitoring: • RG Downlink Monitoring, page 73 • RG Uplink Monitoring, page 73 • End-to-End Service Monitoring, page 73 RG Downlink Monitoring RG downlink monitoring uses CFM to verify connectivity between the dual-homed device and the RG. To configure RG downlink monitoring, be sure that the following requirements are met: • Down MEPs are configured on the bundle. • Down MEPs on each POA are configured identically, using the same MEP ID and source MAC address. This configuration has the following restrictions: • The CCM loss time is greater than the failover time (typically 50 ms), due to the shortest CCM interval of 100 ms that is currently supported, which results in the shortest CCM loss time of 350 ms. RG Uplink Monitoring RG uplink monitoring uses CFM to verify connectivity from the active POA to the core. To configure RG uplink monitoring, be sure that the following requirements are met: • Up MEPs are configured on the bundle interface or bundle subinterface on each POA. • Up MEPs on each POA are configured identically, using the same MEP ID and source MAC address. End-to-End Service Monitoring End-to-end service monitoring uses CFM to verify the end-to-end service between the dual-homed devices. To configure end-to-end service monitoring, be sure that the following requirements are met: • A down MEP is configured on the dual-homed device bundle interface or bundle subinterface.Configuring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-74 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 • If optional MIPs are configured, then each POA is configured with a MIP on the bundle. • Each POA can have a MIP on the uplink interface (if native Ethernet is used). • The active and standby POA is configured identically. This configuration has the following restrictions: • The MIP on the standby POA will not respond to loopback or linktrace requests. POA-Level CFM POA-level monitoing uses CFM to verify connectivity between the dual-homed device and a single POA. To configure POA-level CFM, be sure that the following requirements are met: • Down MEPs are configured on bundle members only. This configuration has the following restrictions: • POA-level monitoring is not supported on uplinks between a single POA and the core. Supported Features for CFM on MC-LAG CFM on MC-LAG supports the following CFM features: • All existing IEEE 802.1ag and Y.1731 functionality on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router is supported on an MC-LAG RG. • CFM maintenance points are supported on an MC-LAG interface. Maintenance points on a standby link are put into standby state. • Maintenance points in standby state receive CFM messages, but do not send or reply to any CFM messages. • When a MEP transitions from active to standby, all CCM defects and alarms are cleared. • Standby MEPs record remote MEP errors and timeouts, but do not report faults. This means that remote MEPs and their errors will appear in show commands, but no logs, alarms, MIB traps, or EFD are triggered and AIS messages are not sent. • When a MEP transitions from standby to active, any CCM defects previously detected while the MEP was in standby are reapplied and immediate actions are taken (logs, alarms, MIB traps, EFD, and so on). • CFM on MC-LAG supports the same scale for bundle interfaces that is supported on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. Restrictions for CFM on MC-LAG To support CFM on MC-LAG, you must consider the following restrictions and requirements: • The CFM configuration must be the same on both the active and standby POAs. • The CFM state is not synchronized between the two POAs. This can lead to flapping of the interface line protocol state on POA failover if EFD is configured. Fault alarms might also be delayed if a failover occurs just after a fault has been detected. • POA-level CFM monitoring is not supported on a native Ethernet uplink interface. • MEPs on bundle interfaces at level 0 are not supported. • Loopback, linktrace, and Y.1731 SLA operations cannot be started from a MEP in standby state.Configuring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-75 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 • Checks for configuration consistency of MEP IDs to ensure identical configuration of POAs is not supported. • Y.1731 SLA statistics can be split between the two POAs if a failover occurs. An external network management system would need to collect and collate these statistics from the two POAs. Ethernet SLA (Y.1731 Performance Monitoring) Customers require their service providers to conform to a Service Level Agreement (SLA). Consequently, service providers must be able to monitor the performance characteristics of their networks. Likewise, customers also want to monitor the performance characteristics of their networks. Cisco provides Y.1731 performance monitoring using the Cisco Ethernet SLA feature. An SLA defines a set of criteria that guarantees a minimum level of service for customers using a service provider network. The criteria can cover many different areas, including latency, jitter, frame loss, and availability. The Cisco Ethernet SLA feature conforms to the following standards: • IEEE 802.1ag • ITU-T Y.1731 The Cisco Ethernet SLA feature provides the architecture to monitor a network at Layer 2. This architecture provides functions such as collecting, storing, displaying, and analyzing SLA statistics. These SLA statistics can be stored and displayed in various ways, so that statistical analysis can be performed. Ethernet SLA provides the framework for performing the following major functions of performance monitoring: • Sending probes consisting of one or more packets to measure performance Ethernet SLA provides a flexible mechanism for sending SLA probes to measure performance. Probes can consist of either CFM loopback or CFM delay measurement packets. Options are available to modify how often the packets are sent, and to specify the attributes of the probe packets such as the size and priority. • Scheduling of operations consisting of periodic probes. A flexible mechanism is provided by Ethernet SLA to specify how often each probe should be executed, how long it should last, and when the first probe should start. Probes can be scheduled to run back-to-back to provide continuous measurements, or at a defined interval ranging from once a minute to once a week. • Collecting and storing results. Ethernet SLA provides flexibility to specify which performance parameters should be collected and stored for each measurement probe. Performance parameters include frame delay and jitter (inter-frame delay variation). For each performance parameter, either each individual result can be stored, or the results can be aggregated by storing a counter of the number of results that fall within a particular range. A configurable amount of historical data can also be stored as well as the latest results. • Analyzing and displaying results.Configuring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-76 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Ethernet SLA performs some basic statistical analysis on the collected results, such as calculating the minimum, maximum, mean and standard deviation. It also records whether any of the probe packets were lost or misordered, or if there is any reason why the results may not be a true reflection of the performance (for example if a big jump in the local time-of-day clock was detected during the time when the measurements were being made). Ethernet SLA Concepts To successfully configure the Cisco Ethernet SLA feature, you should understand the following concepts: • Ethernet SLA Statistic, page 76 • Ethernet SLA Measurement Packet, page 76 • Ethernet SLA Sample, page 77 • Ethernet SLA Probe, page 77 • Ethernet SLA Burst, page 77 • Ethernet SLA Schedule, page 77 • Ethernet SLA Bucket, page 77 • Ethernet SLA Aggregation Bin, page 78 • Ethernet SLA Operation Profile, page 78 • Ethernet SLA Operation, page 78 • Ethernet SLA On-Demand Operation, page 78 Ethernet SLA Statistic A statistic in Ethernet SLA is a single performance parameter. The following statistics can be measured by Ethernet SLA: • Round-trip delay • Round-trip jitter • One-way delay from source to destination • One-way jitter from source to destination • One-way delay from destination to source • One-way jitter from destination to source Note Not all statistics can be measured by all types of packet. For example, one-way statistics cannot be measured when using CFM loopback packets. Ethernet SLA Measurement Packet An Ethernet SLA measurement packet is a single protocol message and corresponding reply that is sent on the network for the purpose of making SLA measurements. The following types of measurement packet are supported:Configuring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-77 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 • CFM Delay Measurement (Y.1731 DMM/DMR packets)—CFM delay measurement packets contain timestamps within the packet data that can be used for accurate measurement of frame delay and jitter. These packets can be used to measure round-trip or one-way statistics; however, the size of the DMM/DMR packets cannot be modified. • CFM loopback (LBM/LBR)—CFM loopback packets are less accurate, but can be used if the peer device does not support DMM/DMR packets. Only round-trip statistics can be measured because these packets do not contain timestamps. However, loopback packets can be padded, so measurements can be made using frames of a specific size. Ethernet SLA Sample A sample is a single result—a number—that relates to a given statistic. For some statistics such as round-trip delay, a sample can be measured using a single measurement packet. For other statistics such as jitter, obtaining a sample requires two measurement packets. Ethernet SLA Probe A probe is a sequence of measurement packets used to gather SLA samples for a specific set of statistics. The measurement packets in a probe are of a specific type (for example, CFM delay measurement or CFM loopback) and have specific attributes, such as the frame size and priority. Note A single probe can collect data for different statistics at the same time, using the same measurement packets (for example, one-way delay and round-trip jitter). Ethernet SLA Burst Within a probe, measurement packets can either be sent individually, or in bursts. A burst contains two or more packets sent within a short interval apart. Each burst can last up to one minute, and bursts can follow each other immediately to provide continuous measurement within the probe. For statistics that require two measurement packets for each sample (such as jitter), samples are only calculated based on measurement packets in the same burst. For all statistics, it is more efficient to use bursts than to send individual packets. Ethernet SLA Schedule An Ethernet SLA schedule describes how often probes are sent, how long each probe lasts, and at what time the first probe starts. Ethernet SLA Bucket For a particular statistic, a bucket is a collection of results that were gathered during a particular period of time. All of the samples for measurements that were initiated during the period of time represented by a bucket are stored in that bucket. Buckets allow results from different periods of time to be compared (for example, peak traffic to off-peak traffic). By default, a separate bucket is created for each probe; that is, the bucket represents the period of time starting at the same time as the probe started, and continuing for the duration of the probe. The bucket will therefore contain all the results relating to measurements made by that probe.Configuring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-78 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Ethernet SLA Aggregation Bin Rather than storing each sample separately within a bucket, an alternative is to aggregate the samples into bins. An aggregation bin is a range of sample values, and contains a counter of the number of samples that were received that fall within that range. The set of bins forms a histogram. When aggregation is enabled, each bucket contains a separate set of bins. See Figure 14 on page 163. Ethernet SLA Operation Profile An operation profile is a configuration entity that defines the following aspects of an operation: • What packet types to send and in what quantities (probe and burst configuration) • What statistics to measure, and how to aggregate them • When to schedule the probes An operation profile by itself does not cause any packets to be sent or statistics collected, but is used to create operation instances. Ethernet SLA Operation An operation is an instance of a given operation profile that is actively collecting performance data. Operation instances are created by associating an operation profile with a given source (an interface and MEP) and with a given destination (a MEP ID or MAC address). Operation instances exist for as long as the configuration is applied, and they run for an indefinite duration on an ongoing basis. Ethernet SLA On-Demand Operation An on-demand operation is a method of Ethernet SLA operation that can be run on an as-needed basis for a specific and finite period of time. This can be useful in situations such as when you are starting a new service or modifying the parameters for a service to verify the impact of the changes, or if you want to run a more detailed probe when a problem is detected by an ongoing scheduled operation. On-demand operations do not use profiles and have a finite duration. The statistics that are collected are discarded after a finite time after the operation completes (two weeks), or when you manually clear them. On-demand operations are not persistent so they are lost during certain events such as a card reload or Minimal Disruptive Restart (MDR). Statistics Measurement and Ethernet SLA Operations Overview Ethernet SLA statistics measurement for network performance is performed by sending packets and storing data metrics such as: • Round-trip delay time—The time for a packet to travel from source to destination and back to source again. • Round-trip jitter—The variance in round-trip delay time (latency). • One-way delay and jitter—The router also supports measurement of one-way delay or jitter from source to destination, or from destination to source. In addition to these metrics, the following statistics are also kept for SLA probe packets: • Packet loss count • Packet corruption event • Out-of-order event Configuring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-79 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Counters for packet loss, corruption and out-of-order packets are kept for each bucket, and in each case, a percentage of the total number of samples for that bucket is reported (for example, 4% packet corruption). For delay and jitter statistics, the minimum, maximum, mean and standard deviation for the whole bucket are reported, as well as the individual samples or aggregated bins. When aggregation is enabled using the aggregate command, bins are created to store a count of the samples that fall within a certain value range, which is set by the width keyword. Only a counter of the number of results that fall within the range for each bin is stored. This uses less memory than storing individual results. When aggregation is not used, each sample is stored separately, which can provide a more accurate statistics analysis for the operation, but it is highly memory-intensive due to the independent storage of each sample. A bucket represents a time period during which statistics are collected. All the results received during that time period are recorded in the corresponding bucket. If aggregation is enabled, each bucket has its own set of bins and counters, and only results relating to the measurements initiated during the time period represented by the bucket are included in those counters. By default, there is a separate bucket for each probe. The time period is determined by how long the probe lasts (configured by the probe, send (SLA), and schedule (SLA) commands).You can modify the size of buckets so that you can have more buckets per probe or fewer buckets per probe (less buckets allows the results from multiple probes to be included in the same bucket). Changing the size of the buckets for a given metric clears all stored data for that metric. All existing buckets are deleted and new buckets are created. Scheduled SLA operation profiles run indefinitely, according to a configured schedule, and the statistics that are collected are stored in a rolling buffer, where data in the oldest bucket is discarded when a new bucket needs to be recorded. Configuration Overview of Scheduled Ethernet SLA Operations When you configure a scheduled Ethernet SLA operation, you perform the following basic steps: 1. Configure global profiles to define how packets are sent in each probe, how the probes are scheduled, and how the results are stored. 2. Configure operations from a specific local MEP to a specific peer MEP using these profiles. Note Certain Ethernet SLA configurations use large amounts of memory which can affect the performance of other features on the system. For more information, see the “Configuring Ethernet SLA” section on page 116. Ethernet LMI The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router supports the Ethernet Local Management Interface (E-LMI) protocol as defined by the Metro Ethernet Forum, Technical Specification MEF 16, Ethernet Local Management Interface (E-LMI), January 2006 standard.Configuring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-80 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 E-LMI runs on the link between the customer-edge (CE) device and the provider-edge (PE) device, or User Network Interface (UNI), and provides a way for the CE device to auto-configure or monitor the services offered by the PE device (see Figure 13). Figure 13 E-LMI Communication on CE-to-PE Link E-LMI is an asymmetric protocol whose basic operation involves the User-facing PE (uPE) device providing connectivity status and configuration parameters to the CE using STATUS messages in response to STATUS ENQUIRY messages sent by the CE to the uPE. E-LMI Messaging The E-LMI protocol as defined by the MEF 16 standard, defines the use of only two message types—STATUS ENQUIRY and STATUS. These E-LMI messages consist of required and optional fields called information elements, and all information elements are associated with assigned identifiers. All messages contain the Protocol Version, Message Type, and Report Type information elements, followed by optional information elements and sub-information elements. E-LMI messages are encapsulated in 46- to 1500-byte Ethernet frames, which are based on the IEEE 802.3 untagged MAC-frame format. E-LMI frames consist of the following fields: • Destination address (6 bytes)—Uses a standard MAC address of 01:80:C2:00:00:07. • Source address (6 bytes)—MAC address of the sending device or port. • E-LMI Ethertype (2 bytes)—Uses 88-EE. • E-LMI PDU (46–1500 bytes)—Data plus 0x00 padding as needed to fulfill minimum 46-byte length. • CRC (4 bytes)—Cyclic Redundancy Check for error detection. 282296 CE CE Customer Service Provider Customer Eth Access MPLS Core CE U-PE Request Response E-LMIConfiguring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-81 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 For more details about E-LMI messages and their supported information elements, refer to the Metro Ethernet Forum, Technical Specification MEF 16, Ethernet Local Management Interface (E-LMI), January 2006. Cisco-Proprietary Remote UNI Details Information Element The E-LMI MEF 16 specification does not define a way to send proprietary information. To provide additional information within the E-LMI protocol, the Cisco IOS XR software implements a Cisco-proprietary information element called Remote UNI Details to send information to the CE about remote UNI names and states. This information element implements what is currently an unused identifier from the E-LMI MEF 16 specification. To ensure compatibility for future implementations of E-LMI should this identifier ever be implemented in the standard protocol, or for another reason, you can disable transmission of the Remote UNI information element using the extension remote-uni disable command. E-LMI Operation The basic operation of E-LMI consists of a CE device sending periodic STATUS ENQUIRY messages to the PE device, followed by mandatory STATUS message responses by the PE device that contain the requested information. Sequence numbers are used to correlate STATUS ENQUIRY and STATUS messages between the CE and PE. The CE sends the following two forms of STATUS ENQUIRY messages called Report Types: • E-LMI Check—Verifies a Data Instance (DI) number with the PE to confirm that the CE has the latest E-LMI information. • Full Status—Requests information from the PE about the UNI and all EVCs. The CE device uses a polling timer to track sending of STATUS ENQUIRY messages, while the PE device can optionally use a Polling Verification Timer (PVT), which specifies the allowable time between transmission of the PE’s STATUS message and receipt of a STATUS ENQUIRY from the CE device before recording an error. In addition to the periodic STATUS ENQUIRY/STATUS message sequence for the exchange of E-LMI information, the PE device also can send asynchronous STATUS messages to the CE device to communicate changes in EVC status as soon as they occur and without any prompt by the CE device to send that information. Both the CE and PE devices use a status counter (N393) to determine the local operational status of E-LMI by tracking consecutive errors received before declaring a change in E-LMI protocol status. Supported E-LMI PE Functions on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router serves as the PE device for E-LMI on a MEN, and supports the following PE functions: • Supports the E-LMI protocol on Ethernet physical interfaces that are configured with Layer 2 subinterfaces as Ethernet Flow Points (EFPs), which serve as the EVCs about which the physical interface reports status to the CE. The Cisco IOS XR software does not support a specific manageability context for an Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC).

Unsupported E-LMI Functions The following areas of E-LMI are not supported on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router: • CE functionsConfiguring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-83 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Unidirectional Link Detection Protocol Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD) is a single-hop physical link protocol for monitoring an ethernet link, including both point-to-point and shared media links. This is a Cisco-proprietary protocol to detect link problems, which are not detected at the physical link layer. This protocol is specifically targeted at possible wiring errors, when using unbundled fiber links, where there can be a mismatch between the transmitting and receiving connections of a port. UDLD Operation UDLD works by exchanging protocol packets between the neighboring devices. In order for UDLD to work, both devices on the link must support UDLD and have it enabled on respective ports. UDLD sends an initial PROBE message on the ports where it is configured. Once UDLD receives a PROBE message, it sends periodic ECHO (hello) messages. Both messages identify the sender and its port, and also contain some information about the operating parameters of the protocol on that port. They also contain the device and port identifiers for any neighbor devices that the local device has heard from, on the port. Similarly, each device gets to know where it is connected and where its neighbors are connected. This information can then be used to detect faults and miswiring conditions. The protocol operates an aging mechanism by means of which information from neighbors that is not periodically refreshed is eventually timed out. This mechanism can also be used for fault detection. A FLUSH message is used to indicate that UDLD is disabled on a port, which causes the peers to remove the local device from their neighbor cache, to prevent it from being aged out. If a problem is detected, UDLD disables the affected interface and also notifies the user. This is to avoid further network problems beyond traffic loss, such as loops which are not detected or prevented by STP. Types of Fault Detection UDLD can detect these types of faults: • Transmit faults — These are cases where there has been a failure in transmitting packets from the local port to the peer device, but packets continue to be received from the peer. These faults are caused by failure of the physical link (where notification at layer 1 of unidirectional link faults is not supported by the media) as well as packet path faults on the local or peer device. • Miswiring faults — These are cases where the receiving and transmitting sides of a port on the local device are connected to different peer ports (on the same device or on different devices). This can occur when using unbundled fibers to connect fiber optic ports. • Loopback faults — These are cases where the receiving and transmitting sides of a port are connected to each other, creating a loopback condition. This can be an intentional mode of operation, for certain types of testing, but UDLD must not be used in these cases. • Receive faults — The protocol includes a heartbeat that is transmitted at a negotiated periodic interval to the peer device. Missed heartbeats can therefore be used to detect failures on the receiving side of the link (where they do not result in interface state changes). These could be caused by a unidirectional link with a failure only affecting the receiving side, or by a link which has developed a bidirectional fault. This detection depends on reliable, regular packet transmission by the peer device. For this reason, the UDLD protocol has two (configurable) modes of operation which determine the behavior on a heartbeat timeout. These modes are described in the section UDLD Modes of Operation, page 84.Configuring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Ethernet OAM HC-84 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 UDLD Modes of Operation UDLD can operate in these modes: • Normal mode: In this mode, if a Receive Fault is detected, the user is informed and no further action is taken. • Aggressive mode: In this mode, if a Receive Fault is detected, the user is informed and the affected port is disabled. UDLD Aging Mechanism This is a scenario that happens in a receive fault condition. Aging of UDLD information happens when the port that runs UDLD does not receive UDLD packets from the neighbor port for duration of hold time. The hold time for the port is dictated by the remote port and depends on the message interval at the remote side. The shorter the message interval, the shorter is the hold time and the faster the detection. The hold time is three times the message interval in Cisco IOS XR Software. UDLD information can age out due to the high error rate on the port caused by some physical issue or duplex mismatch. Such packet drop does not mean that the link is unidirectional and UDLD in normal mode does not disable such link. It is important to choose the right message interval in order to ensure proper detection time. The message interval should be fast enough to detect the unidirectional link before the forwarding loop is created. The default message interval is 60 seconds. The detection time is equal to approximately three times the message interval. So, when using default UDLD timers, UDLD does not time out the link faster than the STP aging time. State Machines UDLD uses two types of finite state machines (FSMs), generally referred as state machines. The Main FSM deals with all the phases of operation of the protocol while the Detection FSM handles only the phases that determine the status of a port. Main FSM The Main FSM can be in one of these states: • Init: Protocol is initializing. • UDLD inactive: Port is down or UDLD is disabled. • Linkup: Port is up and running, and UDLD is in the process of detecting a neighbor. • Detection: A hello message from a new neighbor has been received and the Detection FSM is running to determine the status of the port. • Advertisement: The Detection FSM has run and concluded that the port is operating correctly, periodic hellos will continue to be sent and hellos from neighbors monitored. • Port shutdown: The Detection FSM detected a fault, or all neighbors were timed out in Aggressive mode, and the port has been disabled as a result.Configuring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure Ethernet OAM HC-85 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Detection FSM The Detection FSM can be in one of these states: • Unknown: Detection has not yet been performed or UDLD has been disabled. • Unidirectional detected: A unidirectional link condition has been detected because a neighbor does not see the local device, the port will be disabled. • Tx/Rx loop: A loopback condition has been detected by receiving a TLV with the ports own identifiers, the port will be disabled. • Neighbor mismatch: A miswiring condition has been detected in which a neighbor can identify other devices than those the local device can see and the port will be disabled. • Bidirectional detected: UDLD hello messages are exchanged successfully in both directions, the port is operating correctly.

However, if you want to use a profile but also change the behavior of certain functions for a particular interface, then you can override the profile configuration. To override certain profile settings that are applied to an interface, you can configure that command in interface Ethernet OAM configuration mode to change the behavior for that interface. In some cases, only certain keyword options are available in interface Ethernet OAM configuration due to the default settings for the command. For example, without any configuration of the action commands, several forms of the command have a default behavior of creating a syslog entry when a profile is created and applied to an interface. Therefore, the log keyword is not available in Ethernet OAM configuration for these commands in the profile because it is the default behavior. However, the log keyword is available in Interface Ethernet OAM configuration if the default is changed in the profile configuration so you can retain the action of creating a syslog entry for a particular interface. To see all of the default Ethernet OAM configuration settings, see the “Verifying the Ethernet OAM Configuration” section on page 93.

If the Relay field contains “MPDB” for any of the hops, then the target MAC address was not found in the bridge MAC learning table at that hop, and the result is relying on CCM learning. This result can occur under normal conditions, but it can also indicate a problem. If you used the ping ethernet cfm command before using the traceroute ethernet cfm command, then the MAC address should have been learned. If “MPDB” is appearing in that case, then this indicates a problem at that point in the network.Configuring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure Ethernet OAM HC-116 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Configuring Ethernet SLA This section describes how to configure Ethernet SLA. Ethernet SLA Configuration Guidelines Caution Certain SLA configurations can use a large amount of memory which can affect the performance of other features on the router. Before you configure Ethernet SLA, consider the following guidelines: • Aggregation—Use of the aggregate none command significantly increases the amount of memory required because each individual measurement is recorded, rather than just counts for each aggregation bin. When you configure aggregation, consider that more bins will require more memory. • Buckets archive—When you configure the buckets archive command, consider that the more history that is kept, the more memory will be used. • Measuring two statistics (such as both delay and jitter) will use approximately twice as much memory as measuring one. • Separate statistics are stored for one-way source-to-destination and destination-to-source measurements, which consumes twice as much memory as storing a single set of round-trip statistics. • The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router supports SLA packet intervals of 100 ms and longer. If Ethernet SLA is configured, the overall combined packet rate for CCMs and SLA frames is 16000 frames-per-second in each direction, per card. The following procedure provides the steps to configure Ethernet Service Level Agreement (SLA) monitoring at Layer 2. To configure SLA, perform the following tasks: • Configuring an SLA Operation Profile, page 116 • Configuring SLA Probe Parameters in a Profile, page 117 • Configuring SLA Statistics Measurement in a Profile, page 119 • Configuring a Schedule for an SLA Operation Probe in a Profile, page 121 • Configuring an SLA Operation, page 123 • Configuring an On-Demand SLA Operation, page 124 • Verifying SLA Configuration, page 126 Configuring an SLA Operation Profile To configure a profile, perform the following steps: SUMMARY STEPS 1. configure 2. ethernet sla Configuring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure Ethernet OAM HC-117 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 3. profile profile-name type {cfm-delay-measurement | cfm-loopback} 4. end or commit DETAILED STEPS Configuring SLA Probe Parameters in a Profile To configure SLA probe parameters in a profile, perform the following steps beginning in SLA profile configuration mode: Command or Action Purpose Step 1 configure Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure Enters global configuration mode.

To investigate a link status other than “Up,” consider the following guidelines: • Unknown (PVT disabled)—Indicates that the Polling Verification Timer has been configured as disabled, so no status information can be provided. To see an “Up” or “Down” status, you must enable the PVT. For more information, see the “Configuring the Polling Verification Timer” section on page 136. • Down—The E-LMI link status can be Down for the following reasons: – The PVT has timed out the number of times specified by the status-counter command. This indicates that STATUS ENQUIRY messages have not been received from the CE device. This can be for the following reasons: — The CE device is not connected to the PE device. Check that the CE device is connected to the interface on which E-LMI is enabled on the PE device. — The CE device is not sending Status Enquiries. Check that E-LMI is enabled on the CE interface which is connected to the PE device. — Protocol errors are causing the PVT to expire. The PVT is only reset when a valid (unerrored) STATUS ENQUIRY message is received. – The Line Protocol State is “Down” or “Admin Down.” – The protocol has not yet started on the interface because it does not have useful information to provide, such as the UNI Id or details about EVCs. This is a symptom of provisioning misconfiguration. Note If the protocol is started, then E-LMI still responds to STATUS ENQUIRY messages when it is in “Down” state. Ethernet LMI Line Protocol State Troubleshooting The E-LMI line protocol state is reported in the “Line Protocol State” or “LineP State” fields in the output of forms of the show ethernet lmi interfaces command. The line protocol state is the state of the E-LMI protocol on the physical interface. To investigate a line protocol state other than Up, consider the following guidelines: • Admin-Down—The interface is configured with the shutdown command. Use the no shutdown command to bring the interface up. • Down—Indicates a fault on the interface. Run the show interfaces command to display both the interface state and the interface line protocol state for more information, and take the following actions to investigate further: – If both states are Down, this suggests a physical problem with the link (for example, the cable is not plugged into either the PE or CE device). – If the interface state is Up but the line protocol state is Down, this suggests that an OAM protocol has brought the line protocol state down due to a fault. Use the show efd interface command for more information. Configuring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure Ethernet OAM HC-144 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Ethernet LMI Error Counter Troubleshooting The show ethernet lmi interfaces command displays two sections of error counters: • Reliability Errors—Can indicate that messages are being lost between the PE and CE devices. The timers in the last block of the output should indicate that messages are being sent and received by the PE device. • Protocol Errors—Indicates that the CE device is sending packets to the PE device, but the PE does not understand those packets. This suggests an incorrect configuration of the E-LMI protocol on the CE side, or corruption of the packets on the path between the CE and PE. E-LMI packets have a strictly defined structure in the MEF 16 standard, and any deviation from that results in a protocol error. The PE will not respond to any packets that are malformed and result in a protocol error. Immediately after configuring E-LMI, all of the error counters should be zero, with the possible exception of the Status Enq Timeouts counter. The Status Enq Timeouts counter can be non-zero if the E-LMI protocol was started on the PE interface before being started on the corresponding CE interface. However, once the protocol is started on both devices, this counter should stop increasing. If the Status Enq Timeouts counter is non-zero and is increasing, this indicates that enquiries are not being received from the CE device. This can be due to the following conditions: • The CE device is not connected or not sending STATUS ENQUIRY messages. For more information, see also the “Ethernet LMI Link Status Troubleshooting” section on page 143. • The Polling Timer on the CE device is configured to a value greater than the PVT on the PE device. Verify that the value of the polling-verification-timer command on the PE device is larger than the value of the CE’s Polling Timer. For more information, see also the documentation for the show ethernet lmi interfaces command in the Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Command Reference. Ethernet LMI Remote UNI Troubleshooting Information about the Remote UNIs is reported in the output of the show ethernet lmi interfaces detail command. The Remote UNI ID field displays the name of the UNI as configured by the ethernet uni id command, or it displays the CFM MEP ID of the UNI when the UNI name has not been configured. If the Remote UNI is missing from the table altogether, this is can be due to the following conditions: • The remote UNI's EFP is missing from the bridge-domain in L2VPN configuration. Use the show ethernet cfm configuration-errors command to verify the configuration. • A CFM MEP has not been configured on the remote UNI's EFP.

Before configuring IRB, be sure that the following tasks and conditions are met: • If you have a Cisco ASR 9000 SIP-700 installed on the core-facing side of the router, then you can support IRB for Layer 3 routed to Layer 2 bridged traffic flows for IPv4 unicast traffic, where the Layer 2 destination is one of the supported Gigabit Ethernet line cards for IRB. • Confirm that you are configuring only the following types of Gigabit Ethernet line cards where you plan to support IRB in support of both Layer 3 to Layer 2 traffic flows and Layer 2 to Layer 3 traffic flows: – 2-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet, 20-Port Gigabit Ethernet Combination Line Cards (A9K-2T20GE-B and A9K-2T20GE-L) – 4-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet Line Cards (A9K-4T-B, -E, -L) – 8-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet DX Line Cards (A9K-8T/4-B, -E, -L) – 8-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet Line Cards (A9K-8T-B, -E, -L) – 16-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet Line Cards (A9K-16T/8-B, -E, -L) – 40-Port Gigabit Ethernet Line Cards (A9K-40GE-B, -E, -L) • Know the IP addressing and other Layer 3 information to be configured on the bridge virtual interface (BVI). For more information, see the “Restrictions for Configuring IRB” section on page 173. • Complete MAC address planning if you decide to override the common global MAC address for all BVIs. • Be sure that the BVI network address is being advertised by running static or dynamic routing on the BVI interface. Restrictions for Configuring IRB Before configuring IRB, consider the following restrictions: • Only one BVI can be configured in any bridge domain. • The same BVI can not be configured in multiple bridge domains.Configuring Integrated Routing and Bridging on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Restrictions for Configuring IRB HC-174 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Caution If you want to support IRB on a Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router that also has a Cisco ASR 9000 SIP-700 installed, you must be sure to set up your routing configuration to prevent loss of traffic between the SIP-700 and a BVI interface. See the restrictions below for more information. • Beginning in Cisco IOS XR Release 4.1, IRB can be implemented on supported Gigabit Ethernet line cards in a system where a Cisco ASR 9000 SIP-700 is also installed, with the following restrictions: – The Cisco ASR 9000 SIP-700 must be installed on the core-facing side of the router with a BVI interface configured with IPv4 addressing. – The Cisco ASR 9000 SIP-700 can support routing of IPv4 unicast traffic from Layer 3 to a bridged Layer 2 interface using IRB, where one of the following Gigabit Ethernet line cards is in the Layer 2 bridge domain: — 2-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet, 20-Port Gigabit Ethernet Combination Line Cards (A9K-2T20GE-B and A9K-2T20GE-L) — 4-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet Line Cards (A9K-4T-B, -E, -L) — 8-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet DX Line Cards (A9K-8T/4-B, -E, -L) — 8-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet Line Cards (A9K-8T-B, -E, -L) — 16-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet Line Cards (A9K-16T/8-B, -E, -L) — 40-Port Gigabit Ethernet Line Cards (A9K-40GE-B, -E, -L) Note The reverse direction of Layer 2 bridged traffic from these line cards to Layer 3 at the Cisco ASR 9000 SIP-700 is also supported. • The following areas are not supported on the BVI: – Access Control Lists (ACLs). However, Layer 2 ACLs can be configured on each Layer 2 port of the bridge domain. – IP fast reroute (FRR) – NetFlow – MoFRR – MPLS label switching – mVPNv4 – Quality of Service (QoS) – Traffic mirroring – Unnumbered interface for BVI – Video monitoring (Vidmon) • IRB with 802.1ah (BVI and Provider Backbone Bridge (PBB) should not be configured in the same bridge domain). • PIM snooping. (Need to use selective flood.) • VRF-aware DHCP relay is not supported.Configuring Integrated Routing and Bridging on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring IRB HC-175 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 • BVIs are supported only on bridge domains with the following characteristics: – The bridge domain supports single and double-tagged dot1q- and dot1ad-encapsulated EFPs with non-ambiguous or “exact match” EFP encapsulations. Single and double-tagged encapsulation can be specified as long as the rewrite ingress tag pop symmetric command is configured. – All Layer 2 tags must be removed. VLAN ranges are not supported. – Untagged EFPs are supported. • The following additional functionality is not supported on BVI interfaces in an environment with the Cisco ASR 9000 SIP-700 at the core-facing side: – ARP – Frame Relay – IPv4 multicast traffic – IPv6 unicast and multicast traffic – Layer 2 traffic flows from the SIP-700 to any Layer 3 interface – Layer 2/Layer 3 features on BVI interfaces – Load intervals – MIBs – The show adjacency details command is not supported. Information About Configuring IRB This section includes the following topics: • IRB Introduction, page 175 • Bridge-Group Virtual Interface, page 176 • Packet Flows Using IRB, page 177 • Supported Environments for IRB, page 179 IRB Introduction IRB provides the ability to route between a bridge group and a routed interface using a BVI. The BVI is a virtual interface within the router that acts like a normal routed interface. A BVI is associated with a single bridge domain and represents the link between the bridging and the routing domains on the router. To support receipt of packets from a bridged interface that are destined to a routed interface, the BVI must be configured with the appropriate IP addresses and relevant Layer 3 attributes. In software releases before Cisco IOS XR 4.0.1 where IRB is not supported, you would need to implement a physical cabling solution to connect the egress Layer 2 bridge domain interface to a Layer 3 routing domain interface on the same Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. In Cisco IOS XR Release 4.0.1, IRB accomplishes the same functionality using a BVI and its supporting interface and bridge group configuration shown in Figure 1.Configuring Integrated Routing and Bridging on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring IRB HC-176 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Figure 1 IRB Functional View and Configuration Elements Bridge-Group Virtual Interface This section includes the following information: • BVI Introduction, page 176 • Supported Features on a BVI, page 177 • BVI MAC Address, page 177 • BVI Interface and Line Protocol States, page 177 BVI Introduction The BVI is a virtual interface within the router that acts like a normal routed interface. The BVI does not support bridging itself, but acts as a gateway for the corresponding bridge-domain to a routed interface within the router. Aside from supporting a configurable MAC address, a BVI supports only Layer 3 attributes, and has the following characteristics: • Uses a MAC address taken from the local chassis MAC address pool, unless overridden at the BVI interface. • Is configured as an interface type using the interface bvi command and uses an IPv4 address that is in the same subnet as the hosts on the segments of the bridged domain. The BVI also supports secondary addresses. • The BVI identifier is independent of the bridge-domain identifier. These identifiers do not need to correlate like they do in Cisco IOS software. • Is associated to a bridge group using the routed interface bvi command.

BVI MAC Address By default, the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router uses one MAC address for all BVI interfaces on the router. However, this means that the MAC address is not unique globally. If you want to override the default and specify a unique MAC address at the BVI, then you can configure it at the BVI interface. BVI Interface and Line Protocol States Like typical interface states on the router, a BVI has both an Interface and Line Protocol state. • The BVI interface state is Up when the following occurs: – The BVI interface is created. – The bridge-domain that is configured with the routed interface bvi command has at least one available active bridge port (Attachment circuit [AC] or pseudowire [PW]). Note A BVI will be moved to the Down state if all of the bridge ports (Ethernet flow points [EFPs]) associated with the bridge domain for that BVI are down. However, the BVI will remain up if at least one pseudowire is up, even if all EFPs are down. • The following characteristics determine when the the BVI line protocol state is up: – The bridge-domain is in Up state. – The BVI IP address is not in conflict with any other IP address on another active interface in the router. Packet Flows Using IRB Figure 2 shows a simplified functional diagram of an IRB implementation to describe different packet flows between Host A, B, and C. In this example, Host C is on a network with a connection to the same router. In reality, another router could be between Host C and the router shown.Configuring Integrated Routing and Bridging on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring IRB HC-178 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Figure 2 IRB Packet Flows Between Hosts When IRB is configured on a router, the following processing happens: • ARP requests are resolved between the hosts and BVI that are part of the bridge domain. • All packets from a host on a bridged interface go to the BVI if the destination MAC address matches the BVI MAC address. Otherwise, the packets are bridged. • For packets destined for a host on a routed network, the BVI forwards the packets to the routing engine before sending them out a routed interface. • All packets either from or destined to a host on a bridged interface go to the BVI first (unless the packet is destined for a host on the bridge domain). • For packets that are destined for a host on a segment in the bridge domain that come in to the router on a routed interface, the BVI forwards the packet to the bridging engine, which forwards it through the appropriate bridged interface. Packet Flows When Host A Sends to Host B on the Bridge Domain When Host A sends data to Host B in the bridge domain on the 10.10.0.0 network, no routing occurs. The hosts are on the same subnet and the packets are bridged between their segment interfaces on the router. Packet Flows When Host A Sends to Host C From the Bridge Domain to a Routed Interface Using host information from Figure 2, the following occurs when Host A sends data to Host C from the IRB bridging domain to the routing domain: • Host A sends the packet to the BVI (as long any ARP request the is resolved between the host and the BVI). The packet has the following information: – Source MAC address of host A. – Destination MAC address of the BVI. 281768 Host A 10.10.0.2/24 Host B 10.10.0.3/24 Bridge group BG_test Bridge-domain BD_1 BVI 1 10.10.0.4 MAC address is from local chassis pool 10.20.0.2/24 Host C 10.20.0.3/24Configuring Integrated Routing and Bridging on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring IRB HC-179 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 • Since Host C is on another network and needs to be routed, the BVI forwards the packet to the routed interface with the following information: – IP source MAC address of Host A (10.10.0.2) is changed to the MAC address of the BVI (10.10.0.4). – IP destination address is the IP address of Host C (10.20.0.3). • Interface 10.20.0.2 sees receipt of a packet from the routed BVI 10.10.0.4. The packet is then routed through interface 10.20.0.2 to Host C. Packet Flows When Host C Sends to Host B From a Routed Interface to the Bridge Domain Using host information from Figure 2, the following occurs when Host C sends data to Host B from the IRB routing domain to the bridging domain: • The packet comes into the routing domain with the following information: – MAC source address—MAC of Host C. – MAC destination address—MAC of the 10.20.0.2 ingress interface. – IP source address—IP address of Host C (10.20.0.3). – IP destination address—IP address of Host B (10.10.0.3). • When interface 10.20.0.2 receives the packet, it looks in the routing table and determines that the packet needs to be forwarded to the BVI at 10.10.0.4. • The routing engine captures the packet that is destined for the BVI and forwards it to the BVI’s corresponding bridge domain. The packet is then bridged through the appropriate interface if the destination MAC address for Host B appears in the bridging table, or is flooded on all interfaces in the bridge group if the address is not in the bridging table. Supported Environments for IRB The following environments and configuration elements are supported with IRB on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router: • Configuration of one BVI per bridge domain. • Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) virtual forwarding instance (VFI) configuration associated with a bridge domain configured with a BVI. • BGP PIC edge for BVI-based prefixes. • Traffic forwarding for the BVI using Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS), Routing Information Protocol Version 2 (RIPv2), and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). • Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) static groups. • Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) relay agent. When DHCP relay is used from an aggregation node to obtain an IP address, the default gateway will be the IP address configured on the BVI. The BVI IP address should be in a common subnet as the DHCP pool that is being used by the aggregation node to assign IP addresses. • Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) configuration and priority. • Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP). • Up to 255 VRRF/HSRP VMAC per BVI interface.

A link bundle is a group of one or more ports that are aggregated together and treated as a single link. Each bundle has a single MAC, a single IP address, and a single configuration set (such as ACLs). POS link bundles do not have mac address, only ethernet link bundles have mac address. Note The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 Link Bundles. If the Link Bundle is a Layer 3 interface, an IP address is required. If the Link Bundle is a Layer 2 interface, an IP address is not required. A Link Bundle on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router may contain Layer 2 and Layer 3 subinterfaces within it. In which case, the Layer 3 subinterfaces require IP addresses, but the Link Bundle interface does not require an IP address. POS Link bundling is supported only on Layer 3 link bundles. The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router supports bundling for the following types of interfaces: • Ethernet interfaces and • POS interfaces on the ASR 9000 SIP-700 line card.Configuring Link Bundling on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Contents HC-198 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Feature History for Configuring Link Bundling Contents This module includes the following sections: • Prerequisites for Configuring Link Bundling, page 198 • Information About Configuring Link Bundling, page 199 • How to Configure Link Bundling, page 215 • How to Configure MGSCP, page 242 • Configuration Examples for Link Bundling, page 250 • Configuration Examples for MGSCP, page 256 • Additional References, page 261 Prerequisites for Configuring Link Bundling You must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs.

A virtual interface is assigned to the bundled link. The component links can be dynamically added and deleted from the virtual interface. The virtual interface is treated as a single interface on which one can configure an IP address and other software features used by the link bundle. Packets sent to the link bundle are forwarded to one of the links in the bundle. A link bundle is simply a group of ports that are bundled together and act as a single link. The advantages of link bundles are as follows: • Multiple links can span several line cards to form a single interface. Thus, the failure of a single link does not cause a loss of connectivity. • Bundled interfaces increase bandwidth availability, because traffic is forwarded over all available members of the bundle. Therefore, traffic can flow on the available links if one of the links within a bundle fails. Bandwidth can be added without interrupting packet flow. All the individual links within a single bundle must be of the same type and the same speed. For example, a bundle can contain all Ethernet interfaces, or it can contain all POS interfaces, but it cannot contain Ethernet and POS interfaces at the same time. Cisco IOS XR software supports the following methods of forming bundles of Ethernet interfaces: • IEEE 802.3ad—Standard technology that employs a Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to ensure that all the member links in a bundle are compatible. Links that are incompatible or have failed are automatically removed from a bundle. • EtherChannel or POS Channel—Cisco proprietary technology that allows the user to configure links to join a bundle, but has no mechanisms to check whether the links in a bundle are compatible.(EtherChannel applies to Ethernet interfaces, and POS Channel applies to POS interfaces.) Features and Compatible Characteristics of Ethernet Link Bundles The following list describes the properties and limitations of ethernet link bundles on Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers: • Any type of Ethernet interfaces can be bundled, with or without the use of LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol). • Bundle membership can span across several line cards that are installed in a single router.An ethernet link bundle can support a maximum of 64 physical links. If you add more than 64 links to a bundle, only 64 of the links are in distributing state, and the remaining links are in waiting state. • A single Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router supports a maximum of 256 bundles. • All the individual links within a single ethernet link bundle must be the same speed. • Physical layer and link layer configuration are performed on individual member links of a bundle. • Configuration of network layer protocols and higher layer applications is performed on the bundle itself.Configuring Link Bundling on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Link Bundling HC-201 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 • IPv4 and IPv6 addressing is supported on ethernet link bundles. • A bundle can be administratively enabled or disabled. Beginning in Cisco IOS XR Release 3.9.0, when you shut down a bundle interface, the member links are put into err-disable link interface status and admin-down line protocol state. You can show the status of a bundle interface and its members using the show interfaces command. • Each individual link within a bundle can be administratively enabled or disabled. • Ethernet link bundles are created in the same way as Ethernet channels, where the user enters the same configuration on both end systems. • The MAC address that is set on the bundle becomes the MAC address of the links within that bundle. • When LACP configured, each link within a bundle can be configured to allow different keepalive periods on different members.. • Load balancing (the distribution of data between member links) is done by flow instead of by packet. Data is distributed to a link in proportion to the bandwidth of the link in relation to its bundle. • QoS is supported and is applied proportionally on each bundle member. • Link layer protocols, such as CDP and HDLC keepalives, work independently on each link within a bundle. • Upper layer protocols, such as routing updates and hellos, are sent over any member link of an ethernet interface bundle. • All links within a single bundle must terminate on the same two systems. Both systems must be directly connected. • Bundled interfaces are point-to-point. • A link must be in the up state before it can be in distributing state in a bundle. • All links within a single bundle must be configured either to run 802.3ad (LACP) or Etherchannel (non-LACP). Mixed links within a single bundle are not supported. • A bundle interface can contain physical links and VLAN subinterfaces only. Tunnels cannot be bundle members. • Access Control List (ACL) configuration on link bundles is identical to ACL configuration on regular interfaces. • Multicast traffic is load balanced over the members of a bundle. For a given flow, internal processes select the member link and all traffic for that flow is sent over that member. Characteristics of POS Link Bundles in Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router This section lists the properties of POS link bundles that are specific to Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router: • Each bundle has to be configured between a pair of directly connected systems. • All members of a bundle must be POS. • The Cisco ASR 9000 SIP-700 line card can physically accomodate upto 32 POS link bundles. • POS link bundling can support up to 32 physical links if they are in the same speed. If links are in different speed, it cannot reach 32 physical links. • Only physical interfaces can become bundle members. • All bundles must be statically configured. • Only cHDLC encapsulation type is currently supported on POS Link Bundle.Configuring Link Bundling on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Link Bundling HC-202 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 • Only POS SPA is supported for POS Link Bundling and not channelized SPA. • Upper layer protocols, such as routing updates and hellos, are sent over through the bundle interface. • Bandwidths for policers and queues must be in percentage and not in absolute values. • Queue-limit must be in time unit and not in bytes. • For POS link bundles, different link speeds are allowed within a single bundle, with a maximum of four times the speed difference between the members of the bundle. This means that only up to 4 times the bandwidth ratio is supported. Restrictions of POS Link Bundles in Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router This section lists the limitations of POS link bundles that are specific to Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router: • LACP is not supported for POS link bundles in Cisco IOS XR Release 4.2.0. • IPv6 and ACL are not supported for POS link bundels in Cisco IOS XR Release 4.2.0. • Multicast routing is not supported for POS link bundles in Cisco IOS XR Release 4.2.0. Link Aggregation Through LACP The optional Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is defined in the IEEE 802 standard. LACP communicates between two directly connected systems (or peers) to verify the compatibility of bundle members. For the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, the peer can be either another router or a switch. LACP monitors the operational state of link bundles to ensure the following: • All links terminate on the same two systems. • Both systems consider the links to be part of the same bundle. • All links have the appropriate settings on the peer. LACP transmits frames containing the local port state and the local view of the partner system’s state. These frames are analyzed to ensure both systems are in agreement. IEEE 802.3ad Standard The IEEE 802.3ad standard typically defines a method of forming Ethernet link bundles. For each link configured as bundle member, the following information is exchanged between the systems that host each end of the link bundle: • A globally unique local system identifier • An identifier (operational key) for the bundle of which the link is a member • An identifier (port ID) for the link • The current aggregation status of the link This information is used to form the link aggregation group identifier (LAG ID). Links that share a common LAG ID can be aggregated. Individual links have unique LAG IDs. The system identifier distinguishes one router from another, and its uniqueness is guaranteed through the use of a MAC address from the system. The bundle and link identifiers have significance only to the router assigning them, which must guarantee that no two links have the same identifier, and that no two bundles have the same identifier.Configuring Link Bundling on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Link Bundling HC-203 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 The information from the peer system is combined with the information from the local system to determine the compatibility of the links configured to be members of a bundle. Bundle MAC addresses in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router come from a set of reserved MAC addresses in the backplane.This MAC address stays with the bundle as long as the bundle interface exists. The bundle uses this MAC address until the user configures a different MAC address. The bundle MAC address is used by all member links when passing bundle traffic. Any unicast or multicast addresses set on the bundle are also set on all the member links. Note We recommend that you avoid modifying the MAC address, because changes in the MAC address can affect packet forwarding. Multichassis Link Aggregation The Multichassis Link Aggregation (MC-LAG) feature provides an end to end interchassis redundancy solution for the Carrier Ethernet Networks. MC-LAG involves two devices collaborating to act as a single LAG from the perspective of a (third) connected device, thus providing device-level as well as link-level redundancy. To achieve this, two devices co-ordinate with each other to present a single LACP bundle (spanning the two devices) to a partner device. Only one of the devices forwards traffic at any one time, eliminating the risk of forwarding loops. When a failure occurs, these devices coordinate to perform a switchover, changing the device on which traffic is being forwarded by manipulating the link LACP states. The existing pseudowire redundancy in the core network coordinates with the redundancy in the access network based on: • Multichassis Link Aggregation Control Protocol (mLACP) • Interchassis Communication Protocol (ICCP) The mLACP protocol defines the expected behavior between the two devices and uses the Interchassis Control Protocol (ICCP) to exchange TLVs and identify peer devices to operate with. At the edge of a provider's network, a simple customer edge (CE) device that only supports standard LACP is connected to two provider edge (PE) devices. Thus the CE device is dual-homed, providing better L2 redundancy from the provider's side. In mLACP terminology, the CE device is referred to as a dual-homed device (DHD) and each PE device is known as a point of attachment (POA). The POA forwarding traffic for the bundle is the active device for that bundle, while the other POA is the standby device. Failure Cases MC-LAG provides redundancy, switching traffic to the unaffected POA while presenting an unchanged bundle interface to the DHD, for the following failure events: • Link failure: A port or link between the DHD and one of the POAs fails. • Device failure: Meltdown or reload of one of the POAs, with total loss of connectivity (to the DHD, the core and the other POA). • Core isolation: A POA loses its connectivity to the core network, and therefore is of no value, being unable to forward traffic to or from the DHD. A loss of connectivity between the POAs leads both devices to assume that the other has experienced device failure, causing them to attempt to take on the Active role. This is known as a split brain scenario and can happen in either of the following cases: Configuring Link Bundling on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Link Bundling HC-204 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 • All other connectivity remains; only the link between POAs is lost. • One POA is isolated from the core network (i.e. a core isolation scenario where the connection between the two POAs was over the core network). MC-LAG by itself does not provide a means to avoid this situation; resiliency in the connection between the POAs is a requirement. The DHD is given the responsibility of mitigating the problem by setting a limit on the number of links, within the bundle, that can be active. As such only the links connected to one of the POAs can be active at any one point of time. Interchassis Communication Protocol Figure 4 shows the graphical representation of the Interchassis Communication Protocol (ICCP). Figure 4 ICCP Protocol Two POAs communicate with each other over an LDP link using the Interchassis Communication Protocol (ICCP). ICCP is an LDP based protocol wherein an LDP session is created between the POAs in a redundancy group, and the ICCP messages are carried over that LDP session. The PE routers in a redundancy group may be a single-hop (directly connected) or a multi-hop away from one another. The ICCP protocol manages the setup and controls the redundancy groups. It also establishes, maintains, and tears down ICCP connections. The ICCP protocol uses route-watch to monitor the connectivity to the PEs in a given redundancy group. It is also responsible for tracking core isolation failures. It notifies all client applications of failure (core isolation and active PE failure). To operate ICCP, the devices are configured as members of redundancy groups (RGs). Note In the mLACP configuration, two devices are configured to be members of each RG (until a device-level failure occurs leaving only a single member). However, each device can be a member of more than one RG. In each redundancy group, a POA's mLACP peer is the other POA in that group, with which it communicates using mLACP over ICCP. For each bundle, the POA and DHD at each end are LACP partners, communicating using the standard LACP protocol. 279531 PE1 Clients/Apps ICCP Protocol LDP PE2 Clients/Apps ICCP Protocol LDP ICCP Control Channel Client Connection Redundancy GroupConfiguring Link Bundling on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Link Bundling HC-205 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Access Network Redundancy Model The Multichassis Link Aggregation Control Protocol (mLACP) based redundancy between the customer edge device (CE) or access network and the provider edge (PE) device is achieved by allowing the CE to be connected to two PE routers. The two PE routers synchronize the data through ICCP; therefore they appear as a single device to the CE. Figure 5 mLACP/ICCP Redundancy Model The CE is also called dual-homed device (DHD) and the PE is also called point of attachment (POA). The pair of POAs that is connected to the single DHD forms a redundancy group (RG). At any given time, only one POA is active for a bundle. Only the set of links between the DHD and the active POA actively sends traffic. The set of links between the DHD and the standby POA does not forward traffic. When the multichassis link bundle software detects that the connection to the active POA has failed, the software triggers the standby POA to become the active POA, and the traffic flows using the links between the DHD and newly active POA. The ICCP protocol operates between the active and the standby POAs, and allows the POAs to coordinate their configuration, determine which POA is active, and trigger a POA to become active. Applications running on the two POAs (mLACP, IGMP snooping, DHCP snooping or ANCP) synchronize their state using ICCP. Failure Modes The mLACP feature provides network resiliency by protecting against port, link, and node failures. Figure 6 depicts the various failure modes. 279533 Redundancy Group DHD Active PoA (PE1) Standby PoA (PE2) Active link Standby link ICCP Access Redundancy Core RedundancyConfiguring Link Bundling on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Link Bundling HC-206 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Figure 6 Failure Modes These are the failure categories: • A—DHD uplink port failure. The port on the DHD that is connected to the POA fails. • B—DHD uplink failure. The connection between the DHD and the POA fails. • C—Active POA downlink port failure. • D—Active POA node failure. • E—Active POA uplink failure (network isolation). The links between the active POA and the core network fails Core Network Redundancy Model This section explains: • One-way pseudowire redundancy • Two-way pseudowire redundancy One-way Pseudowire Redundancy Figure 7 shows the VPWS one-way pseudowire redundancy model. Only one end of the pseudowire is protected by a backup pseudowire.

In this topology, each T-PE at the end of a PW has a primary and a backup PW. The state of the PW is coordinated with the state of the mLACP link between the DHD and the PE. Figure 8 VPWS two-way Pseudowire Redundancy Switchovers Switchovers, which is changing the Active/Standby roles of the POAs, are performed using dynamic priority management or brute force behavior. Dynamic Priority Management Dynamic Priority Management involves co-ordination between the POAs to manipulate the LACP port priorities of their member links. Two priority values are tracked for each links: • A configured priority which can either be configured explicitly, or defaults to 32768 • An operational priority used in LACP negotiations, which may differ from the configured priority if switchovers have occurred. Higher priority LACP links are always selected ahead of lower priority LACP links. This means the operational priorities can be manipulated to force the standard LACP Selection Logic (on the POAs and on the DHD) to select desired links on both ends. For example, consider a case where the DHD has two links to each POA, and each POA is configured with minimum-active links is 2. (This means the bundle goes down on the POA if the number of active links falls below 2.) The operational priorities for the member links are 1 on POA-1 and 2 on POA-2. This means that POA-1 is active (being higher priority) and the links on POA-2 are held in Standby state. The sequence of events in a switchover is as follows: 1. A link fails on POA-1, causing the number of active links to fall below the minimum of 2. 2. POA-1 changes the operational priority of both its links to 3, so the links on POA 2 are now higher priority. 3. POA-1 sends a LACP message to the DHD and an mLACP message to POA-2, informing both devices of the change. 4. The DHD tries to activate the links connected to POA-2 as these now have the highest priority. 279528 DHD-1 DHD-2 ICCP ICCP A S A S primary PW primary PW primary PW primary PW backup PW backup PW backup PW backup PW T-PE1 (active) T-PE2 (standby) T-PE3 (active) T-PE4 (standby)Configuring Link Bundling on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Link Bundling HC-208 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 5. POA-2 also ensures that its links have the highest priority and activates its links to the DHD. At this point the switchover is complete. Brute Force Behavior In a brute force switchover, port priorities are not modified. Instead the failing POA sends a single dying gasp to the DHD over LACP, forcing it to deselect the link. It then terminates LACP communications on that link. This only leaves links between the DHD and POA-2, as links that can be selected. So, both ends select those links.

For more information about other forms of load balancing on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, see the following references: • Per-flow load balancing on non-bundle interfaces using Layer 3 and 4 routing information— See the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router IP Addresses and Services Configuration Guide. • Pseudowire (PW) Load Balancing beginning in Cisco IOS XR 4.0.1—See the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router L2VPN and Ethernet Services Configuration Guide. Layer 2 Ingress Load Balancing on Link Bundles By default, load balancing on Layer 2 link bundles is done based on the MAC source and destination address (SA/DA) fields in the incoming packet header. Table 1 shows a summary of the parameters used for load balancing of incoming traffic at Layer 2 based on whether the default mode, EFP-based, or flow-based load balancing is in use. Per-flow load balancing is supported on all links in the bundle. This scheme achieves load sharing by allowing the router to distribute packets over one of the links in the bundle, that is determined through a hash calculation. The hash calculation is an algorithm for link selection based on certain parameters. The standard hash calculation is a 5-tuple hashing, using the following parameters: • IP source address • IP destination address • Router ID • Layer 4 source port PW 2 PW 1 L1 L2 uPE1 uPE3 nPE2 PW 4 nPE2 PW 3 PW 5 PW 6 PW 8 PW 7 DHD1 nPE3 nPE4 Inter-chassis Control Channel (ICC) 199885 EoMPLS VPLS VFI 1 VFI 3 VFI 2 VFI 4Configuring Link Bundling on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Link Bundling HC-211 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 • Layer 4 destination port When per-flow load balancing is enabled, all packets for a certain source-destination pair will go through the same link, though there are multiple links available. Per-flow load balancing ensures that packets for a certain source-destination pair arrive in order. Note Load balancing for multicast traffic applies only when outgoing interfaces are link bundle interfaces or subinterfaces. Layer 3 Egress Load Balancing on Link Bundles Layer 3 load balancing support began on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router in Cisco IOS XR 3.9.1, with changes introduced in Cisco IOS XR Release 4.0.1. Layer 3 Load Balancing Before Cisco IOS XR Release 4.0.1 In Cisco IOS XR 3.9.1 through Cisco IOS XR 4.0, Layer 3 load balancing for link bundles is done on Ethernet Flow Points (EFPs) and is based on the IPv4 source and destination addresses in the packet. When Layer 3 service-specific load balancing is configured, all egressing bundles are load balanced based on the IPv4 source and destination addresses. When packets do not have IPv4 addresses, default load-balancing is used. Layer 3 load balancing for link bundles is enabled globally, using the following command: hw-module load-balance bundle l2-service l3-params Layer 3 Load Balancing Beginning in Cisco IOS XR Release 4.0.1 Layer 3 load balancing for link bundles is done when outgoing interfaces are either bundles or bundle subinterfaces. 5-tuple hashing is used for load balancing among bundle member links, using the following parameters: • IP source address • IP destination address Table 1 Bundle Load Balancing for Incoming Traffic Ingress Unicast, Flood, or Multicast Traffic Parameters Configuration Default • Source MAC address • Destination MAC address n/a EFP-based auto mode XID of the xconnect Auto mode is enabled using the bundle load-balancing hash auto command. EFP-based with user hash User hash A user hash is configured using the bundle load-balancing hash-value command. Flow-based with IP source and destination • Source IP address • Destination IP address Enabled using the L2VPN load-balancing flow src-dst-ip command. Flow-based with MAC source and destination • Source MAC address • Destination MAC address Enabled using the L2VPN load-balancing flow src-dst-mac command.Configuring Link Bundling on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Link Bundling HC-212 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 • Router ID • Layer 4 source port • Layer 4 destination port The ingress linecard does bundle member selection and forwards the packet to the linecard and network processor (NP) corresponding to the selected bundle member. The same hash value is used for both ingress and egress linecards. Therefore, even though the egress linecard also does bundle member selection, it selects the same bundle member that was selected by the ingress linecard. Multicast IPv4 and IPv6 Traffic For outbound multicast IPv4 or IPv6 traffic, a set of egress linecards is predetermined by the system. If a bundle interface or bundle subinterface is an outgoing interface, the system selects the bundle member for each outgoing interface in a route based on the multicast group address. This helps with load distribution of multicast routed traffic to different bundle members, while providing traffic sequencing within a specific route. The egress linecard does NP selection using the same approach, when bundle members are spread across multiple NPs within the egress linecard. When the packet arrives on an egress NP, it uses the 5-tuple hash to select a bundle member within an NP for each packet. This provides better resiliency for bundle member state changes within an NP. Dynamic Load Balancing for LAG Beginning in Cisco IOS XR Release 4.0.1, the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router supports a method of dynamic load balancing among link aggregation (LAG) members. With dynamic load balancing, the hash algorithms for link selection include up to a maximum of 64 links, and are based on the current number of active members in the bundle. QoS and Link Bundling On the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, when QoS is applied on the bundle for either the ingress or egress direction, QoS is applied at each member interface. For complete information on configuring QoS on link bundles on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, refer to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Modular Quality of Service Configuration Guide and the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Modular Quality of Service Command Reference. VLANs on an Ethernet Link Bundle 802.1Q VLAN subinterfaces can be configured on 802.3ad Ethernet link bundles. Keep the following information in mind when adding VLANs on an Ethernet link bundle: • The maximum number of VLANs allowed per bundle is 4096. • The maximum number of bundled VLANs allowed per router is 16384. Note The memory requirement for bundle VLANs is slightly higher than standard physical interfaces. To create a VLAN subinterface on a bundle, include the VLAN subinterface instance with the interface Bundle-Ether command, as follows:Configuring Link Bundling on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Link Bundling HC-213 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 interface Bundle-Ether interface-bundle-id.subinterface After you create a VLAN on an Ethernet link bundle, all VLAN subinterface configuration is supported on that link bundle. VLAN subinterfaces can support multiple Layer 2 frame types and services, such as Ethernet Flow Points - EFPs) and Layer 3 services. Layer 2 EFPs are configured as follows: interface bundle-ether instance.subinterface l2transport. encapsulation dot1q xxxxx Layer 3 VLAN subinterfaces are configured as follows: interface bundle-ether instance.subinterface, encapsulation dot1q xxxxx Note The difference between the Layer 2 and Layer 3 interfaces is the l2transport keyword. Both types of interfaces use dot1q encapsulation. Link Bundle Configuration Overview The following steps provide a general overview of the link bundle configuration process. Keep in mind that a link must be cleared of all previous network layer configuration before it can be added to a bundle: 1. In global configuration mode, create a link bundle. To create an Ethernet link bundle, enter the interface Bundle-Ether command. 2. Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the virtual interface using the ipv4 address command. 3. Add interfaces to the bundle you created in Step 1 with the bundle id command in the interface configuration submode. You can add up to 64 links to a single bundle. Note A link is configured as a member of a bundle from the interface configuration submode for that link. Nonstop Forwarding During Card Failover Cisco IOS XR software supports nonstop forwarding during failover between active and standby paired RSP cards. Nonstop forwarding ensures that there is no change in the state of the link bundles when a failover occurs. For example, if an active RSP fails, the standby RSP becomes operational. The configuration, node state, and checkpoint data of the failed RSP are replicated to the standby RSP. The bundled interfaces will all be present when the standby RSP becomes the active RSP. Note Failover is always onto the standby RSP. Note You do not need to configure anything to guarantee that the standby interface configurations are maintained.Configuring Link Bundling on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Link Bundling HC-214 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Link Failover When one member link in a bundle fails, traffic is redirected to the remaining operational member links and traffic flow remains uninterrupted. Multi-Gigabit Service Control Point Multi-Gigabit Service Control Point (MGSCP) is a deployment model that uses certain link bundling and forwarding features on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers to support load balancing, clustering, and redundancy for broadband subscriber traffic on Cisco Service Control Engine (SCE) devices. The Cisco SCE platform is used to provide many services such as user authorization, reporting, and application bandwidth metering for broadband subscribers. It manages IP traffic using a stateful processing mechanism based on application and subscriber awareness. Maintaining this statefulness requires that the SCE platform captures both the upstream and downstream flows of a session to classify it and provide Layer 7 processing at the application level. To process an application that is implemented with a bundle of flows, such as FTP or Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), the SCE platform needs to process all the flows that comprise a session of this application. In addition, when the SCE platform is configured to implement per subscriber reporting or control (sometimes referred to as subscriber awareness), it must process all traffic flows that a given subscriber generates. Because of this stateful processing to the subscriber level, the SCE platform is implemented in a network with a “bump-in-the-wire” topology for Layer 2 and Layer 3 transparency. However, as the number of broadband subscribers increases along with the bandwidth that an SCE platform must support, scaling the solution presents certain challenges when inserted into a typical network environment where asymmetric routing is often implemented and the two directions of a single session, or the many flows of a specific subscriber, could be split between different links. The MGSCP solution on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router satisfies these requirements by providing a topology to scale multiple SCE devices in a cluster that are connected to the router using link bundling, where all subscriber traffic can be directed through the same bundle member link. In addition, MGSCP also provides the benefits of load balancing and redundancy.Configuring Link Bundling on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure Link Bundling HC-215 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Figure 15 shows a basic network topology for MGSCP with a Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router connected between the subscriber and core networks, and acting as a dispatcher for the attached SCE cluster.

By default, Ethernet flow point (EFP) load balancing is enabled. However, the user can choose to configure all egressing traffic on the fixed members of a bundle to flow through the same physical member link. This configuration is available only on an Ethernet Bundle subinterface with Layer 2 transport (l2transport) enabled. Note If the active members of the bundle change, the traffic for the bundle may get mapped to a different physical link that has a hash value that matches the configured value.

Step 2 interface Bundle-POS bundle-id Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router#(config)#interface Bundle-POS 2 Configures and names the new bundled POS interface. Enters the interface configuration submode, from where interface specific configuration commands are executed. Use the exit command to exit from the interface configuration submode, and get back to the normal global configuration mode. Step 3 ipv4 address ipv4-address mask Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# ipv4 address 10.1.2.3 255.0.0.0 Assigns an IP address and subnet mask to the virtual interface using the ip address configuration subcommand. Step 4 bundle minimum-active bandwidth kbps Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# bundle minimum-active bandwidth 620000 (Optional) Sets the minimum amount of bandwidth required before a user can bring up a bundle. Step 5 bundle minimum-active links links Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# bundle minimum-active links 2 (Optional) Sets the number of active links required before you can bring up a specific bundle.Configuring Link Bundling on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure Link Bundling HC-221 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Step 6 bundle maximum-active links links [hot-standby] Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# bundle maximum-active links 1 hot-standby (Optional) Implements 1:1 link protection for the bundle, which causes the highest-priority link in the bundle to become active and the second-highest-priority link to become the standby. Also, specifies that a switchover between active and standby LACP-enabled links is implemented according to a proprietary optimization. Note The priority of the active and standby links is based on the value of the bundle port-priority command. Step 7 exit Exits the interface configuration submode. Step 8 interface POS interface-path-id Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface POS 0/1/0/0 Enters POS interface configuration mode and specifies the POS interface name and interface-path-id notation rack/slot/module/port. Step 9 bundle id bundle-id [mode {active | on | passive}] Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# bundle-id 3 Adds the link to the specified bundle. To enable active or passive LACP on the bundle, include the optional mode active or mode passive keywords in the command string. To add the link to the bundle without LACP support, include the optional mode on keywords with the command string. Note If you do not specify the mode keyword, the default mode is on (LACP is not run over the port). Step 10 bundle port-priority priority Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# bundle port-priority 1 (Optional) If you set the bundle maximum-active links command to 1, you must also set the priority of the active link to the highest priority (lowest value) and the standby link to the second-highest priority (next lowest value). For example, you can set the priority of the active link to 1 and the standby link to 2. Step 11 no shutdown Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# no shutdown Removes the shutdown configuration which forces the interface administratively down. The no shutdown command then returns the link to an up or down state, depending on the configuration and state of the link. Step 12 exit Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# exit Exits the interface configuration submode for the POS interface. Step 13 Repeat Step 19 through Step 21 to add more links to a bundle (Optional) Adds more links to the bundle you created in Step 2.

Step 4 backbone interface interface-type-id Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router#(config-redundancy-iccp-group) # backbone interface GigabitEthernet0/1/0/2 Configures ICCP backbone interfaces. This is an optional configuration to detect isolation from the network core, and triggers switchover to the peer POA if the POA on which the failure is occurring is active. Multiple backbone interfaces can be configured for each redundancy group. When all backbone interfaces are not UP, this is an indication of core isolation. When one or more backbone interfaces are UP, then the POA is not isolated from the network core. Backbone interfaces are typically the interfaces which L2VPN pseudowires can use.

Isolation recovery delay timer is started once the core isolation condition has cleared. When the timer expires, the POA can take over as the active POA (depending on other conditions like bundle recovery delay timer). This allows: • the network core to reconverge after the backbone interfaces have come up • ICCP state to be exchanged in order for POAs to know what state they are supposed to be in so that MCLAG bundles do not flap excessively.

Command or Action PurposeConfiguring Link Bundling on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure MGSCP HC-243 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 • You understand how to configure your cluster of Service Control Engine (SCE) devices and configure them according to the desired requirements of your network, including the following requirements for MGSCP support: – When you connect the SCE devices to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, be sure that each SCE device has two separate physical links connecting to two different bundle interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router as follows: — One link from each SCE device is connected to a link on the bundle interface that is routed to the access (or subscriber) side of the network. — The second link from each SCE device is connected to a link on another bundle interface that is routed to the core side of the network. – On the SCE device, you configure the SCE ports for link failure reflection (using the link failure-reflection command) to ensure that if a link on one side of the SCE goes down, then the link on the other side is automatically shut down. For more information, see the “Configuring the Connection” chapter in the Cisco SCE software configuration guide for your device and release at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6134/products_installation_and_configuration_guide s_list.html • For your bundle configuration on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, determine the following information: – The maximum number of active links that you will support. – The bundle links that will be protect (backup) links. You can configure a maximum of 4 protect links. • To maintain the statefulness of the connected SCEs, all subscriber flows must pass through the same SCE. Therefore, before you configure MGSCP, you need to determine how you want to configure the router to redirect subscriber traffic to ensure that it passes through the appropriate bundle interfaces connected to that SCE. You can use one of the following methods: – ACL-Based Forwarding (ABF)—Supports only IP addresses for the next hop, and can be complex to configure. For more information about ABF, see the “Implementing Access Lists and Prefix Lists” chapter of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router IP Addresses and Services Configuration Guide. – Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF)—Recommended. Uses VRF instances for the access and network bundles, which can then be routed using static or dynamic routing with OSPF and BGP. Restrictions for Configuring MGSCP Before configuring MGSCP, consider these restrictions: • You can configure up to a maximum of 4 protect links on a bundle. • IPv6 addressing is not supported. IPv4 addressing must be used. • MPLS is not supported.Configuring Link Bundling on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure MGSCP HC-244 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Configuring the Access Bundle for the Subscriber-Facing Side The configuration of the access bundle facing the subscriber side of the network is similar to the core bundle configuration, with the following guidelines: • If using VRFs to route subscriber traffic on the same SCE to the bundle (recommended), then a separate VRF is used for the subscriber-facing side. • Link-order signaling is required to enable LACP processing of link ordering numbers (LONs) for load balancing tables. • Bundle load balancing is configured based on source IP address. • The maximum number of active links must be configured to match the maximum number of active links on the core bundle.

For MGSCP, there are two different bundles: one for the access side traffic, and one for the core side traffic. These bundles each have a link connecting to either side of an SCE. Be sure to carefully map your interfaces to the appropriate bundle. • LACP is required for MGSCP, so the link must be configured with mode active on the bundle. • Active and backup (protect) links are configured using the bundle port-priority command: – To configure a working (active) link, use a priority of 1. The maximum number of active links that you can configure is determined by the value of the bundle maximum-active links command on the bundle. – Any priority other than 1 designates the link as a protect link. You can configure a maximum of 4 protect links.

Step 2 interface [GigabitEthernet | TenGigE] interface-path-id Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/0/0 Specifies or creates a Gigabit Ethernet or 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, where interface-path-id is the physical location of the interface using rack/slot/module/port notation, and enters interface configuration mode. Step 3 bundle id bundle-id mode active Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# bundle id 100 mode active Adds the interface as a member of the specified bundle, and runs LACP in active mode on the interface to exchange LACP packets for MGSCP.Configuring Link Bundling on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure MGSCP HC-249 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Configuring VRFs to Route Traffic to the Bundles VRFs are the recommended way to route subscriber traffic to the bundles to be sure that all subscriber traffic remains with the same SCE device for statefulness. To configure VRFs for MGSCP, complete one of the following tasks: • Configuring VRFs with Static Routing, page 249 • Configuring VRFs with Dynamic Routing, page 250 Configuring VRFs with Static Routing These steps summarize the tasks required to configure VRFs using static routing: 1. Configure two VRFs in global configuration—one each for the access and core sides of the network. Be sure to specify the IPv4 unicast address family. 2. Configure IPv4 addresses at each of the bundle interfaces and associate those addresses with the corresponding VRF that you configured in global configuration for the access and core side of the network. Step 4 bundle port-priority priority Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# bundle port-priority 1 Specifies the LACP priority for the interface and determines if a bundle interface is an active or protect link for MGSCP: • Value of 1—Specifies the link is an active interface. • Value other than 1—Specfies the link is a protect interface. The default is 32768. Step 5 end or commit Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router (config-bfd-if)# end or RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bfd-if)# commit Saves configuration changes. • When you issue the end command, the system prompts you to commit changes: Uncommitted changes found, commit them before exiting(yes/no/cancel)? [cancel]: – Entering yes saves configuration changes to the running configuration file, exits the configuration session, and returns the router to EXEC mode. – Entering no exits the configuration session and returns the router to EXEC mode without committing the configuration changes. – Entering cancel leaves the router in the current configuration session without exiting or committing the configuration changes. • Use the commit command to save the configuration changes to the running configuration file and remain within the configuration session.

Configure IPv4 addresses at the Gigabit Ethernet physical interfaces and associate those addresses with the corresponding VRF that you configured in global configuration for the access and core side of the network. 4. Configure static routing using the router static command to map the access and core VRFs to their corresponding bundle interfaces. For a sample configuration, see the “Example: Configuring VRFs with Static Routing” section on page 258. Configuring VRFs with Dynamic Routing VRFs for MGSCP are supported for both OSPF and BGP routing protocols. The general configuration of the VRFs in global configuration and at the bundle and physical interfaces is the same as for static routing. These steps summarize the tasks required to configure VRFs using OSPF routing: 1. Configure two VRFs in global configuration—one each for the access and core sides of the network. Be sure to specify the IPv4 unicast address family. 2. Configure IPv4 addresses at each of the bundle interfaces and associate those addresses with the corresponding VRF that you configured in global configuration for the access and core side of the network. 3. Configure IPv4 addresses at the Gigabit Ethernet physical interfaces and associate those addresses with the corresponding VRF that you configured in global configuration for the access and core side of the network. 4. Configure a dynamic routing protocol, such as OSPF, using the router ospf command to define the VRFs and associate the bundle and physical interfaces to the OSPF areas. For a sample configuration, see the “Example: Configuring VRFs with OSPF Routing” section on page 259 Configuration Examples for Link Bundling This section contains the following examples: • Example: Configuring an Ethernet Link Bundle, page 250 • Example: Configuring a VLAN Link Bundle, page 251 • Example: Configuring a POS Link Bundle, page 251 • Example: Configuring EFP Load Balancing on an Ethernet Link Bundle, page 252 • Example: Configuring Multichassis Link Aggregation, page 252 Example: Configuring an Ethernet Link BundleConfiguring Link Bundling on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Configuration Examples for Link Bundling HC-251 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 The following example shows how to join two ports to form an EtherChannel bundle running LACP: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router# config RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config)# interface Bundle-Ether 3 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# ipv4 address 1.2.3.4/24 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# bundle minimum-active bandwidth 620000 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# bundle minimum-active links 1 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# exit RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config)# interface TenGigE 0/3/0/0 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# bundle id 3 mode active RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# no shutdown RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config)# exit RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config)# interface TenGigE 0/3/0/1 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# bundle id 3 mode active RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# no shutdown RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# exit Example: Configuring a VLAN Link Bundle The following example shows how to create and bring up two VLANs on an Ethernet bundle: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router# config RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config)# interface Bundle-Ether 1 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# ipv4 address 1.2.3.4/24 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# bundle minimum-active bandwidth 620000 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# bundle minimum-active links 1 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# exit RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config)# interface Bundle-Ether 1.1 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-subif)# dot1q vlan 10 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-subif)# ip addr 10.2.3.4/24 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-subif)# no shutdown RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-subif)# exit RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config)# interface Bundle-Ether 1.2 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-subif)# dot1q vlan 20 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-subif)# ip addr20.2.3.4/24 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-subifif)# no shutdown RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-subifif)# exit RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config)# interface gig 0/1/5/7 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# bundle-id 1 mode act RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# commit RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# exit Example: Configuring a POS Link Bundle The following example shows how to join two ports to form a Packet-over-SONET (POS) link bundle: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router# config RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config)# interface Bundle-POS 5 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# ipv4 address 1.2.3.4/24 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# bundle minimum-active bandwidth 620000 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# bundle minimum-active bandwidth 620000 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# exit RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config)# interface POS 0/0/1/1 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# bundle id 5 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# no shutdown RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-if)# exitConfiguring Link Bundling on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Configuration Examples for Link Bundling HC-252 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Example: Configuring EFP Load Balancing on an Ethernet Link Bundle The following example shows how to configure all egressing traffic on the fixed members of a bundle to flow through the same physical member link automatically.

You can configure 800 source ports on a single monitoring session, or configure an aggregate total of 800 source ports on a maximum of eight monitoring sessions. The following forms of traffic mirroring are not supported: • Mirroring traffic to a GRE tunnel (also known as Encapsulated Remote Switched Port Analyzer [ER-SPAN] in Cisco IOS Software). • Mirroring traffic from a full bridge domain (also known as VLAN-based SPAN in Cisco IOS Software). Performance Impact with Traffic Mirroring It is recommended that you do not mirror more than 15% of your total transit traffic. On the Cisco ASR 9000 Ethernet Line Card, that uses Ten Gigabit Ethernet interfaces or bundle interfaces there is a limit of 1.5G of data on each of the ingress and egress traffic that can be mirrored. This limitation is not applicable on the Cisco ASR 9000 Enhanced Ethernet Line Card. Information about Traffic Mirroring The following sections provide information about traffic mirroring: • Introduction to Traffic Mirroring, page 264 • Traffic Mirroring Terminology, page 265 • Supported Traffic Mirroring Types, page 268 Introduction to Traffic Mirroring Traffic mirroring, which is sometimes called port mirroring, or Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) is a Cisco proprietary feature that enables you to monitor Layer 2 or Layer 3 network traffic passing in, or out of, a set of Ethernet interfaces. You can then pass this traffic to a network analyzer for analysis. Traffic mirroring copies traffic from one or more Layer 3 interfaces or Layer 2 interfaces or sub-interfaces, including Layer 2 link bundle interfaces or sub-interfaces, and sends the copied traffic to one or more destinations for analysis by a network analyzer or other monitoring device. Traffic mirroring does not affect the switching of traffic on the source interfaces or sub-interfaces, and allows the mirrored traffic to be sent to a destination interface or sub-interface. Traffic mirroring was introduced on switches because of a fundamental difference between switches and hubs. When a hub receives a packet on one port, the hub sends out a copy of that packet from all ports except from the one to which the hub received the packet. In the case of switches, after a switch boots, it starts to build up a Layer 2 forwarding table on the basis of the source MAC address of the different packets that the switch receives. After this forwarding table is built, the switch forwards traffic that is destined for a MAC address directly to the corresponding port. Configuring Traffic Mirroring on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information about Traffic Mirroring HR-265 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component OL-26061-02 For example, if you want to capture Ethernet traffic that is sent by host A to host B, and both are connected to a hub, just attach a traffic analyzer to this hub. All other ports see the traffic between hosts A and B (Figure 17). Figure 17 Traffic Mirroring Operation on a Hub On a switch or router, after the host B MAC address is learned, unicast traffic from A to B is only forwarded to the B port. Therefore, the traffic analyzer does not see this traffic (Figure 18). Figure 18 Network Analysis Does Not Work on a Router Without Traffic Mirroring In this configuration, the traffic analyzer only captures traffic that is flooded to all ports, such as: • Broadcast traffic • Multicast traffic with CGMP or Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping disabled • Unknown unicast traffic on a switch An extra feature is necessary that artificially copies unicast packets that host A sends. This extra feature is traffic mirroring. When traffic mirroring is enabled, the traffic analyzer is attached to a port that is configured to receive a copy of every packet that host A sends. This port is called a traffic mirroring port. The other sections of this document describe how you can fine tune this feature. Implementing Traffic Mirroring on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Traffic Mirroring Terminology • Ingress traffic—Traffic that enters the switch. • Egress traffic—Traffic that leaves the switch. 281711 A Hub B Network analyzer 281709 A B Network analyzer RouterConfiguring Traffic Mirroring on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information about Traffic Mirroring HR-266 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component OL-26061-02 • Source port—A port that is monitored with the use of traffic mirroring. It is also called a monitored port. • Destination port—A port that monitors source ports, usually where a network analyzer is connected. It is also called a monitoring port. • Monitor session—A designation for a collection of traffic mirroring configurations consisting of a single destination and, potentially, many source interfaces. Characteristics of the Source Port A source port, also called a monitored port, is a switched or routed port that you monitor for network traffic analysis. In a single local or remote traffic mirroring session, you can monitor source port traffic, such as received (Rx) for ingress traffic, transmitted (Tx) for egress traffic, or bidirectional (for both ingress and egress traffic). Your router supports any number of source ports (up to the maximum number of 800). A source port has these characteristics: • It can be any port type, such as Bundle Interface, Gigabit Ethernet, 10-Gigabit Ethernet, or EFPs. Note Bridge group virtual interfaces (BVIs) are not supported. • Each source port can be monitored in one traffic mirroring session. • It cannot be a destination port. • Each source port can be configured with a direction (ingress, egress, or both) to monitor. For bundles, the monitored direction applies to all physical ports in the group. Figure 19 Network Analysis on a Cisco ASR 9000 Router With Traffic Mirroring In Figure 19, the network analyzer is attached to a port that is configured to receive a copy of every packet that host A sends. This port is called a traffic mirroring port. Characteristics of the Monitor Session A monitor session is a collection of traffic mirroring configurations consisting of a single destination and, potentially, many source interfaces. For any given monitor session, the traffic from the source interfaces (called source ports) is sent to the monitoring port (called the destination port). Some optional operations such as VLAN tag imposition and ACL filtering can be performed on the mirrored traffic streams. If there is more than one source port in a monitoring session, the traffic from the several 281709 A B Network analyzer RouterConfiguring Traffic Mirroring on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information about Traffic Mirroring HR-267 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component OL-26061-02 mirrored traffic streams is combined at the destination port. The result is that the traffic that comes out of the destination port is a combination of the traffic from one or more source ports, and the traffic from each source port may or may not have VLAN push operations or ACLs applied to it. Monitor sessions have the following characteristics: • A single Cisco ASR 9000 Router can have a maximum of eight monitor sessions. • A single monitor session can have only one destination port. • A single destination port can belong to only one monitor session. • A single Cisco ASR 9000 Router can have a maximum of 800 source ports. • A monitor session can have a maximum of 800 source ports, as long as the maximum number of source ports from all monitoring sessions does not exceed 800. Characteristics of the Destination Port Each local session or remote destination session must have a destination port (also called a monitoring port) that receives a copy of the traffic from the source ports. A destination port has these characteristics: • A destination port must reside on the same router as the source port. • A destination port can be any Ethernet physical port, EFP, pseudowire, but not a bundle interface. • A destination port can only be a Layer 2 transport interface. An L3 interface as a SPAN destination cannot be configured on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. • A destination port and can be a trunk (main) interface or a subinterface. • At any one time, a destination port can participate in only one traffic mirroring session. A destination port in one traffic mirroring session cannot be a destination port for a second traffic mirroring session. In other words, no two monitor sessions can have the same destination port. • A destination port cannot also be a source port.

This is the most basic form of traffic mirroring. The network analyzer or sniffer is directly attached to the destination interface. In other words, all monitored ports are all located on the same switch as the destination port. • Remote traffic mirroring (known as R-SPAN). In this case, the network analyzer is not attached directly to the destination interface, but is on a VLAN accessible to the switch. For example, the destination interface is a sub-interface with a VLAN encapsulation. A restricted form of remote traffic mirroring can be implemented by sending traffic to a single destination port that pushes a VLAN tag, instead of switching via a bridge domain. – Allows decoupling the network analyzer and destination, but there is no on-the-box redundancy. – Allows multiple remote network analyzers as long as they can attach to the traffic mirroring VLAN. This is supported on Cisco IOS XR software, because the destination port is an EFP that can push a VLAN tag. • Pseudowire traffic mirroring (known as PW-SPAN in Cisco IOS Software). Instead of using a standard destination interface, traffic is mirrored to a remote site via an MPLS pseudowire. • ACL-based traffic mirroring. Traffic is mirrored based on the configuration of the global interface ACL. • Partial Packet Mirroring. The first 64 to 256 bytes of the packet can be mirrored. • Layer 2 or Layer 3 traffic mirroring is supported. Both Layer 2 and Layer 3 source ports can be mirrored. Pseudowire Traffic Mirroring The traffic mirroring destination port can be configured to be a pseudowire rather than a physical port. In this case, the designated traffic on the source port is mirrored over the pseudowire to a central location. This allows the centralization of expensive network traffic analysis tools. Because the pseudowire is carrying only the mirrored traffic, this traffic is generally unidirectional. There should not be any traffic coming from the remote provider edge. To protect the pseudowire traffic mirroring path against network failures, it is possible to configure a traffic engineering tunnel as the preferred path and enable fast reroute protection for the pseudowire.Configuring Traffic Mirroring on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Configuring Traffic Mirroring HR-269 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component OL-26061-02 Figure 21 Pseudowire Traffic Mirroring ACL-Based Traffic Mirroring You can mirror traffic based on the definition of a global interface access list (ACL). If you are mirroring Layer 2 traffic, the ACL is configured using the ethernet-services access-list command with the capture keyword. If you are mirroring Layer 3 traffic, the ACL is configured using the ipv4 access-list or ipv6 access-list command with the capture keyword. The permit and deny commands determine the behavior of regular traffic. The capture keyword designates that the packet is to be mirrored to the destination port.

The following example correctly shows both the capture keyword in the ACL definition and the acl command configured on the interface: monitor-session tm_example ! ethernet-services access-list tm_filter 10 deny 0000.1234.5678 0000.abcd.abcd any capture ! interface GigabitEthernet0/2/0/0 monitor-session tm_example direction rx-only acl ! l2transport ! ethernet-services access-group tm_filter ingress ! end How to Configure Partial Packet Mirroring SUMMARY STEPS 1. configure 2. monitor-session session-name 3. destination interface dest-interface 4. exit 5. interface source-interface 6. monitor-session session-name 7. mirror first bytes 8. end or commit 9. show monitor-session [session-name] statusConfiguring Traffic Mirroring on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Configuring Traffic Mirroring HR-281 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component OL-26061-02 DETAILED STEPS Command or Action Purpose Step 1 configure Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure Enters global configuration mode.

You can verify the state using the show interfaces command. Check the configuration to see what might be keeping the interface from coming up (for example, a sub-interface needs to have an appropriate encapsulation configured). Destination pseudowire is not configured The L2VPN configuration that is to set up the pseudowire is missing. Configure the traffic mirroring session name as one segment of the xconnect p2p. Destination pseudowire (down) The pseudowire is configured, but is down. Check the L2VPN configuration to identify why the pseudowire is not coming up. Session Status Explanation Source Interface Status Explanation Operational Everything appears to be working correctly in traffic mirroring PI. Please follow up with the platform teams in the first instance, if mirroring is not operating as expected. Not operational (Session is not configured globally) The session does not exist in global configuration. Check the show run command output to ensure that a session with the right name has been configured. Not operational (destination interface not known) The session exists, but it either does not have a destination interface specified, or the destination interface named for the session does not exist (for example, if the destination is a sub-interface that has not been created). Not operational (source same as destination) The session exists, but the destination and source are the same interface, so traffic mirroring does not work. Not operational (destination not active) The destination interface or pseudowire is not in the Up state. See the corresponding Session status error messages for suggested resolution. Not operational (source state ) The source interface is not in the Up state. You can verify the state using the show interfaces command.

Loopback and null interfaces are considered virtual interfaces. A virtual interface represents a logical packet switching entity within the router. Virtual interfaces Interfaces have a global scope and do not have an associated location. Virtual interfaces have instead a globally unique numerical ID after their names. Examples are Loopback 0, Loopback 1Loopback1, and Loopback 99999. The ID is unique per virtual interface type to make the entire name string unique such that you can have both Loopback 0 and Null 0. Loopback and null interfaces have their control plane presence on the active route switch processor (RSPRP). The configuration and control plane are mirrored onto the standby RSP RP and, in the event of a failoverswitchover, the virtual interfaces move to the ex-standby, which then becomes the newly active RSPRP.

The command reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance. Information About Configuring Virtual Interfaces To configure virtual interfaces, you must understand the following concepts: • Virtual Loopback Interface Overview, page 292 • Null Interface Overview, page 292 • Virtual Management Interface Overview, page 293 • Active and Standby RPs and Virtual Interface Configuration, page 293 Virtual Loopback Interface Overview A virtual loopback interface is a virtual interface with a single endpoint that is always up. Any packet transmitted over a virtual loopback interface is immediately received by the selfsame interface. Loopback interfaces emulate a physical interface. In Cisco IOS XR software, ,virtual loopback interfaces perform the following functions: • Loopback loopback interfaces can act as a termination address for routing protocol sessions. This allows routing protocol sessions to stay up even if the outbound interface is down. • You you can ping the loopback interface to verify that the router IP stack is working properly. In applications where other routers or access servers attempt to reach a virtual loopback interface, you must configure a routing protocol to distribute the subnet assigned to the loopback address. Packets routed to the loopback interface are rerouted back to the router or access server and processed locally. IP packets routed out the loopback interface but not destined to the loopback interface are dropped. Under these two conditions, the loopback interface can behave like a null interface. Null Interface Overview A null interface functions similarly to the null devices available on most operating systems. This interface is always up and can never forward or receive traffic; encapsulation always fails. The null interface provides an alternative method of filtering traffic. You can avoid the overhead involved with using access lists by directing undesired network traffic to the null interface. The only interface configuration command that you can specify for the null interface is the ipv4 unreachables command. With the ipv4 unreachables command, if the software receives a nonbroadcast packet destined for itself that uses a protocol it does not recognize, it sends an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) protocol unreachable message to the source. If the software receives a datagram that it cannot deliver to its ultimate destination because it knows of no route to the destination address, it replies to the originator of that datagram with an ICMP host unreachable message. The Null 0 Null0 interface is created by default on the RSP RP during boot and cannot be removed. The ipv4 unreachables command can be configured for this interface, but most configuration is unnecessary because this interface just discards all the packets sent to it.Configuring Virtual Loopback and Null Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Virtual Interfaces HC-293 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 The Null 0 Null0 interface can be displayed with the show interfaces null0 command. Virtual Management Interface Overview Configuring an IPv4 virtual address enables you to access the router from a single virtual address with a management network without prior knowledge of which RSP RP is active. An IPv4 virtual address persists across route switch processor (RSPRP) failover switchover situations. For this to happen, the virtual IPv4 address must share a common IPv4 subnet with a management Ethernet interface on both RPs. On a Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Cisco XR 12000 Series RouterCisco CRS-1 Router where each RSP RP has multiple management Ethernet interfaces, the virtual IPv4 address maps to the management Ethernet interface on the active RSP RP that shares the same IP subnet. Active and Standby RPs and Virtual Interface Configuration The standby RSP RP is available and in a state in which it can take over the work from the active RSP RP should that prove necessary. Conditions that necessitate the standby RSP RP to become the active RSP RP and assume the active RSPRP’s duties include: • Failure detection by a watchdog • Administrative command to take over • Removal of the active RSP RP from the chassis If a second RSP RP is not present in the chassis while the first is in operation, a second RSP RP may be inserted and automatically becomes the standby RSPRP. The standby RSP RP may also be removed from the chassis with no effect on the system other than loss of RSP RP redundancy. After failoverswitchover, the virtual interfaces all are present on the standby (now active) RSPRP. Their state and configuration are unchanged and there has been no loss of forwarding (in the case of tunnels) over the interfaces during the failoverswitchover. The routers use nonstop forwarding (NSF) over bundles and tunnels through the failover switchover of the host RSPRP. Note The user need not configure anything to guarantee that the standby interface configurations are maintained. Note Protocol configuration such as tacacs source-interface, snmp-server trap-source, ntp source, logging source-interface do not use the virtual management IP address as their source by default. Use the ipv4 virtual address use-as-src-addr command to ensure that the protocol uses the virtual IPv4 address as its source address. Alternatively, you can also configure a loopback address with the designated or desired IPv4 address and set that as the source for protocols such as TACACS+ using the tacacs source-interface command.Configuring Virtual Loopback and Null Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure Virtual Interfaces HC-294 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 How to Configure Virtual Interfaces This section contains the following procedures: • Configuring Virtual Loopback Interfaces, page 294 (Required) • Configuring Null Interfaces, page 295 (Required) • Configuring Virtual IPv4 IPV4 Interfaces, page 296 (Required) Configuring Virtual Loopback Interfaces This task explains how to configure a basic loopback interface.

The SONET controller name and interface-path-id are required with the controller sonet command. Information About Configuring Channelized SONET/SDH To configure Channelized SONET/SDH, you must understand the following concepts: • Channelized SONET Overview, page 302 • Channelized SDH Overview, page 307 • Default Configuration Values for Channelized SONET/SDH, page 310 • How to Configure Channelized SONET/SDH, page 311 Channelized SONET Overview Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) is an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) specification format used in transporting digital telecommunications services over optical fiber. Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) is the international equivalent of SONET. Channelized SONET provides the ability to transport SONET frames across multiplexed T3/E3 and virtual tributary group (VTG) channels. Channelized SONET is supported on the following SPAs: • Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-48/STM-16 SPA • Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA • Cisco 2-Port Channelized OC-12c/DS0 SPA Channelized SDH is supported on the following SPAs: • Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-48/STM-16 SPA • Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA • Cisco 2-Port Channelized OC-12c/DS0 SPA SONET uses Synchronous Transport Signal (STS) framing. An STS is the electrical equivalent to an optical carrier 1 (OC-1). SDH uses Synchronous Transport Mode (STM) framing. An STM-1 is the electrical equivalent to 3 optical carrier 1s (OC-1s). A channelized SONET interface is a composite of STS streams, which are maintained as independent frames with unique payload pointers. The frames are multiplexed before transmission. Configuring Channelized SONET/SDH on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Channelized SONET/SDH HC-303 Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 When a line is channelized, it is logically divided into smaller bandwidth channels called paths. These paths carry the SONET payload. The sum of the bandwidth on all paths cannot exceed the line bandwidth. When a line is not channelized, it is called clear channel, and the full bandwidth of the line is dedicated to a single channel that carries broadband services. An STS stream can be channelized into the following types of channels: • T3/E3 • VT1.5 mapped T1 • Packet over SONET/SDH (POS) (OC12 and OC48 only) The T3/E3 channels can be channelized further into T1s, and the T1s can be channelized into time slots (DS0s), except on the 1-Port Channelized OC-48/STM-16 SPA, which does not support T1 or DS0s. Channelizing a SONET line consists of two primary processes: • Configuring the controller • Configuring the interface into channelized paths You configure the controller first by setting the mode of the STS path. The mode can be set to T3, or VT1.5-mapped T1, or POS, depending on your hardware support. Note POS is supported only on the STS-3c and STS-12c paths on the Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-12/DS0 SPA and on the STS-3c, STS-12c, and STS-48c paths on the Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-48/STM-16 SPA. When the mode is specified, the respective controller is created, and the remainder of the configuration is applied on that controller. For example, mode T3 creates a T3 controller. The T3 controller can then be configured to a serial channel, or it can be further channelized to carry T1s, and those T1s can be configured to serial interfaces. Depending on the support for your installed SPA, each STS path can be independently configured into T3s, E3s, or VTGs, and so on.Configuring Channelized SONET/SDH on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Channelized SONET/SDH HC-304 Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Figure 22 shows an example of three STS paths for a SONET controller.

Figure 25 SONET VTG Channelized Paths Channelized SDH Overview Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) is the international equivalent of SONET. Channelized SDH is supported on the following SPAs: • Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-48/STM-16 SPA • Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA • Cisco 2-Port Channelized OC-12/DS0 SPA A Synchronous Transport Module (STM) signal is the Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) equivalent of the SONET STS, but the numbers are different for each bandwidth. In this guide, the STM term refers to both path widths and optical line rates. The paths within an STM signals are called administrative units (AUs). A summary of the basic terminology differences between SONET and SDH is as follows: • SONET STS is equivalent to SDH administrative unit (AU) • SONET VT is equivalent to SDH tributary unit (TU) • SDH basic building blocks are STM-1 (equivalent to STS-3) and STM-0 (equivalent to STS-1) STS 3 SONET Controller . . . same configuration possibilities as STS 1 STS 2 . . . same configuration possibilities as STS 1 STS 1 210877 VTG 1 VTG 2 VTG 3 VTG 4 VTG 5 VTG 6 VTG 7 T1 T1 T1 T1 Each STS can be channelized into 7 VTGs.

It consists of an information payload (the higher-order virtual container) and an administrative unit pointer, which indicates the offset of the payload frame start relative to the multiplex section frame start. An AU can be channelized into tributary units (TUs) and tributary unit groups (TUGs). An administrative unit 4 (AU-4) consists of three STM-1s or an STM-3. An administrative unit 3 (AU-3) consists of one STM-1. An administrative unit group (AUG) consists of one or more administrative units occupying fixed, defined positions in an STM payload. On the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, the following levels of SDH channelization are supported: • 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA – AU4 to TUG-3 to TUG-2 to VC-12 to E1 to NxDS0 – AU4 to TUG-3 to VC-3 to DS3 (Clear Channel) – AU4 to TUG-3 to VC-3 to E3 (Clear Channel) – AU3 to TUG-2 to VC-11 to DS1 to NxDS0 • 2-Port Channelized OC-12/DS0 SPA – AU-4-4c (VC-4-4c) – AU-4 (VC-4) – AU-4 to TUG-3 to VC-3 to DS3 – AU-4 to TUG-3 to VC-3 to E3 – AU-4 to TUG-3 to TUG-2 to VC-11 to T1 to NxDS0 – AU-4 to TUG-3 to TUG-2 to VC-12 to E1to NxDS0 – AU-3 to VC-3 to DS3 – AU-3 to TUG-2 to VC-11 to T1 to NxDS0 – AU-3 to TUG-2 to VC-12 to E1to NxDS0 – AU-3 to VC-3 to E3 – AU-3 to VC-3 to DS3 to T1 to NxDS0 Table 2 SONET and SDH Terminology Equivalencies SONET Term SDH Term SONET SDH STS-3c AU-4 STS-1 AU-3 VT TU SPE VC Section Regenerator Section Line Multiplex Section Path PathConfiguring Channelized SONET/SDH on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Channelized SONET/SDH HC-309 Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 – AU-3 to VC-3 to DS3 to E1 to NxDS0 • 1-Port Channelized OC-48/STM-16 SPA – DS3 – E3 – AU-3 (VC-3) – AU-4 (VC-4) – AU-4-4c (VC-4-4c) – AU-4-16c (VC-4-16c) Figure 26 shows an example of SDH AU-3 paths that can be configured on certain supported SPAs.

Step 3 clock source {internal | line} Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# clock source internal Configures the SONET port transmit clock source, where the internal keyword sets the internal clock and the line keyword sets the clock recovered from the line. • Use the line keyword whenever clocking is derived from the network. Use the internal keyword when two routers are connected back to back or over fiber for which no clocking is available. • line is the default keyword. Note Internal clocking is required for SRP interfaces.Configuring Channelized SONET/SDH on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure Channelized SONET/SDH HC-331 Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Step 4 framing sdh Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# framing sdh Configures the controller framing for Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) framing. SONET framing (sonet) is the default. Step 5 au number Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# au 1 Specifies the administrative unit (AU) group and enters AU path configuration mode. For AU-3, the valid range is: • 1 to 48—1-Port Channelized OC-48/DS3 SPA • 1 to 3—1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA • 1 to 12—2-Port Channelized OC-12c/DS0 SPA Note The au command does not specify the AU type. It specifies the number of the AU group for the AU type that you want to configure. The range for the AU command varies based on whether you are configuring AU-3 or AU-4. Step 6 mode t3 or mode e3 Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-auPath)# mode t3 Sets the mode of interface at the AU level to T3 or E3. Step 7 root Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-auPath)# root Exits to global configuration mode. Step 8 controller {t3 | e3} interface-path-id Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# controller T3 0/1/1/0/0 Enters T3 or E3 controller configuration submode and specifies the T3 or E3 controller name and interface-path-id with the rack/slot/module/port/auNum notation. Step 9 mode serial Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-t3)# mode serial Configures the mode of the port to be clear channel serial. Step 10 show configuration Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-t3)# show configuration Displays the contents of uncommitted configuration.

The SONET controller name and interface-path-id are required with the controller sonet command. Overview of Circuit Emulation over Packet Service Circuit Emulation over Packet (CEoP) is a way to carry TDM circuits over packet switched network. Circuit Emulation over Packet is the imitation of a physical connection. The goal of CEoP is to replace leased lines and legacy TDM networks. This feature allows network administrators to use their existing IP/MPLS network to provide leased-line emulation services or to carry data streams or protocols that do not meet the format requirements of other multiservice platform interfaces. CEoP puts TDM bits into the packets, encapsulates them into appropriate header and then sends through PSN. The receiver side of CEoP restores the TDM bit stream from packets. CEoP SPAs are half-height (HH) Shared Port Adapters (SPA) and the CEoP SPA family consists of 24xT1/E1/J1, 2xT3/E3, and 1xOC3/STM1 unstructured and structured (NxDS0) quarter rate, half height SPAs. The CEoP SPAs provide bit-transparent data transport that is completely protocol independent. CEoP has two major modes: • Unstructured mode is called SAToP (Structure Agnostic TDM over Packet) — SAToP does not look what is inside the incoming data and considers it as a pure bit stream. • Structured mode is named CESoPSN (Circuit Emulation Service over Packet Switched Network) — CESoPSN is aware of the structure of the incoming TDM bit stream at DS0 level. CESoPSN and SAToP can use MPLS, UDP/IP, and L2TPv3 for the underlying transport mechanism. Note The Cisco IOS XR Release 4.2.0 supports only MPLS transport mechanism. These SPAs are the first Cisco router interfaces designed to meet the emerging standards for Circuit Emulation Services over Packet Switched Network (CESoPSN) and Structure-Agnostic Transport over Packet (SAToP) transport. The Cisco IOS XR Release 4.2.0 supports CEM functionality only on this SPA: 1-port Channelized OC3 SPA [SPA-1xOC3-CE-ATM] In SAToP mode, these SPAs do not assume that data has any predefined format or structure. They simply regard the data as an arbitrary bit stream. All data bits are simply transported to a defined destination encapsulated in IP/MPLS packets. In CESoPSN mode the carrier has defined format. The SPAs support a full range of E1 and T1 framing. CESoPSN applications can save utilized bandwidth by selecting only valid timeslots for transmission. Some primary applications include: • Transporting 2G and 3G network traffic over packet networks, for mobile operators. Mobile service providers are implementing high-speed data networks with HSDPA to support new revenue-generating services. The SPA is uniquely positioned for multigenerational migration of mobile networks (2G and 3G), simultaneously carrying TDM and ATM traffic over IP/MPLS networks. This technology provides a mechanism to enable IP/MPLS to the cell site, which can eventually be in place to transport the mobile traffic over IP from end to end.Configuring Circuit Emulation over Packet on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring CEoP Channelized SONET/SDH HC-349 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 • T3/E3 circuit emulation for leased-line replacement. • T1/E1 circuit emulation for leased-line replacement. • PBX to PBX connectivity over PSN. • High density SS7 backhaul over IP/MPLS. • Inter-MSC connectivity. • Preencrypted data for government, defense, or other high-security applications. • Proprietary synchronous or asynchronous data protocols used in transportation, utilities, and other industries. • Leased-line emulation service offerings in metropolitan (metro) Ethernet or WAN service provider environments.

Information About Configuring CEoP Channelized SONET/SDH To configure the Circuit Emulation over Packet Channelized SONET/SDH, you must understand the following concepts: • Channelized SONET and SDH Overview, page 349 • Default Configuration Values for Channelized SONET/SDH, page 353 Channelized SONET and SDH Overview Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) is an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) specification format used in transporting digital telecommunications services over optical fiber. Channelized SONET provides the ability to transport SONET frames across multiplexed T3/E3 and virtual tributary group (VTG) channels. SONET uses Synchronous Transport Signal (STS) framing. An STS is the electrical equivalent to an optical carrier 1 (OC-1). A channelized SONET interface is a composite of STS streams, which are maintained as independent frames with unique payload pointers. The frames are multiplexed before transmission. When a line is channelized, it is logically divided into smaller bandwidth channels called paths. These paths carry the SONET payload. The sum of the bandwidth on all paths cannot exceed the line bandwidth. When a line is not channelized, it is called clear channel, and the full bandwidth of the line is dedicated to a single channel that carries broadband services. The T3/E3 channels can be channelized further into T1s, and the T1s can be channelized into time slots (DS0s). Channelizing a SONET line consists of two primary processes: • Configuring the controller • Configuring the interface into channelized paths You configure the controller first by setting the mode of the STS path. Configuring Circuit Emulation over Packet on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring CEoP Channelized SONET/SDH HC-350 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 When the mode is specified, the respective controller is created, and the remainder of the configuration is applied on that controller. For example, mode T3 creates a T3 controller. The T3 controller can then be configured to a serial channel, or it can be further channelized to carry T1s, and those T1s can be configured to serial interfaces. Depending on the support for your installed SPA, each STS path can be independently configured into T3s, E3s, or VTGs, and so on. The following level of SONET channelization modes are supported in CEoP SPA: OC3->STS-1->VTG-> VT1.5 -> Unframed T1 OC3->STS-1->VTG-> VT1.5 -> T1 -> DS0 Figure 28 shows the VTG paths that can be configured. Note Only VTG paths are supported on the Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. Figure 28 SONET VTG Channelized Paths Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) is the international equivalent of SONET. SDH uses Synchronous Transport Mode (STM) framing. An STM-1 is the electrical equivalent to 3 optical carrier 1s (OC-1s). A Synchronous Transport Module (STM) signal is the Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) equivalent of the SONET STS, but the numbers are different for each bandwidth. In this guide, the STM term refers to both path widths and optical line rates. The paths within an STM signals are called administrative units (AUs).

Each VTG can be channelized into 4 T1s.Configuring Circuit Emulation over Packet on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring CEoP Channelized SONET/SDH HC-351 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 A summary of the basic terminology differences between SONET and SDH is as follows: • SONET STS is equivalent to SDH administrative unit (AU) • SONET VT is equivalent to SDH tributary unit (TU) • SDH basic building blocks are STM-1 (equivalent to STS-3) and STM-0 (equivalent to STS-1) An administrative unit (AU) is the information structure that provides adaptation between the higher-order path layer and the multiplex section layer. It consists of an information payload (the higher-order virtual container) and an administrative unit pointer, which indicates the offset of the payload frame start relative to the multiplex section frame start. An AU can be channelized into tributary units (TUs) and tributary unit groups (TUGs). An administrative unit 3 (AU-3) consists of one STM-1. An administrative unit group (AUG) consists of one or more administrative units occupying fixed, defined positions in an STM payload. The Table 4 shows the commonly used notations and terms in SONET standards and their SDH equivalents. The following levels of SDH channelization are supported on the CEoP SPA in Cisco IOS XR Release 4.2.0: • For E1 : – STM1-> AU-4 -> TUG-3 -> TUG-2 ->VC12-> Unframed E1 – STM1-> AU-4 -> TUG-3 -> TUG-2 ->VC12-> E1 -> DS0 • For T1 : – STM1-> AU-3-> TUG-2 -> VC11->Unframed T1 – STM1-> AU-3-> TUG-2 -> VC11->T1 -> DS0 Table 4 SONET and SDH Terminology Equivalencies SONET Term SDH Term SONET SDH STS-3c AU-4 STS-1 AU-3 VT TU SPE VC Section Regenerator Section Line Multiplex Section Path PathConfiguring Circuit Emulation over Packet on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring CEoP Channelized SONET/SDH HC-352 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Figure 29 shows an example of SDH AU-3 paths that can be configured on the CEoP SPA.

The clock to the particular TDM line can be delivered from – Line: the transmit clock is from the receiver of the same physical line – Internal: the transmit clock is taken from line card and can be derived either from an internal free running oscillator or from another physical line – Recovered: In-band pseudowire-based activeclock recovery on a CEM interface which is used to drive the transmit clock. The number of recovered clocks that can be configured for CEoP SPA are: – Cisco 1-port Channelized OC3/STM-1 Circuit Emulation and Channelized ATM SPA : 10 clocks per SPA in the T1/E1 mode. • Adaptive Clocking — Adaptive clocking is used when the routers do not have a common clock source. See Figure 31. The clock is derived based on packet arrival rates. Two major types of adaptive clock recovery algorithms are: – Based on dejitter buffer fill level – Based on packet arrival rate The clock quality depends on packet size, has less tolerance to packet loss/corruption and introduces unnecessary delay in order to have sufficient number of packets in the buffer for clock recovery. The dejitter buffer size determines the ability of the emulated circuit to tolerate network jitter. The dejitter buffer in CEoP software is configurable up to a maximum of 500 milliseconds. Note The CEoP SPA hardware supports only the packet arrival rate algorithm. Figure 31 Adaptive Clock Recovery • Differential clocking — Differential clocking is used when the cell site and aggregation routers have a common clock source but TDM lines are clocked by a different source. The TDM clocks are derived from differential information in the RTP header of the packet with respect to the common clock. Differential clock recovery is based on time stamps received in RTP header. On the master TDM Service Clock Packet Switched Network IWF IWF TDM TDM Adaptive Clock Recovery Recovered TDM timing based on the adaptive clock recovery 284385Configuring Circuit Emulation over Packet on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to implement CEM HC-355 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 side, the difference of TDM clock and network clock is recorded into RTP header. On the slave side, these timestamps are read from RTP header, the clock recovery is done and this clock is used for synchronization. See Figure 32. Note The Cisco 1-port Channelized OC3/STM-1 CEoP SPA hardware can recover only a maximum of ten unique clocks in as many CEM interfaces. The CEM interfaces where clock recovery is configured must be on unique T1s.

Step 2 hw-module subslot node-id cardtype {sonet| sdh} Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# hw-module subslot 0/3/0 sonet Configures the controller for SONET framing. SONET framing (sonet) is the default. Whenever there is a change in framing mode (sonet/sdh), the SPA will be reloaded automatically. Reload will happen only when all the CEM Interface, T1 Controller and Sonet Controller configurations are removed completely. This is not applicable when you configure the first time because T1 controller and interface configurations would not exist. This configuration is mandatory for CEoP SPA to work normally in one of the framing modes. When you configure for the first time, it will not cause a SPA reload, if the cardtype is set to Sonet. Step 3 commit Use the commit command to save the configuration changes to the running configuration file and remain within the configuration session. Step 4 controller sonet interface-path-id Enters controller configuration submode and specifies the SONET controller name and instance identifier with the rack/slot/module/port/controllerName notation.

Step 3 commit Use the commit command to save the configuration changes to the running configuration file and remain within the configuration session. Step 4 controller sonet interface-path-id Enters controller configuration submode and specifies the SDH controller name and instance identifier with the rack/slot/module/port/controllerName notation.Configuring Circuit Emulation over Packet on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to implement CEM HC-364 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Step 5 au number Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# au 1 Specifies the administrative unit (AU) group and enters AU path configuration mode. For AU-3, the valid range is: • 1 to 3—1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA Note The au command does not specify the AU type. It specifies the number of the AU group for the AU type that you want to configure. The range for the AU command varies based on whether you are configuring AU-3 or AU-4. Step 6 mode tug3 Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-auPath)# mode tug3 Sets the mode of interface at the AU level. Currently only TUG3 is supported. Step 7 width number Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-auPath)# width 3 Configures the number of the AU streams. Step 8 tug3 number Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-auPath)#tug3 1 Specifies the Tributary Unit Group (TUG) number and enters the config-tug3Path mode. The range is 1 to 3. Step 9 mode mode Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-tug3Path)# mode c12-e1 Sets the mode of interface at the tug3 level. The modes are: • c12-e1—TUG-3 path carrying TU-12 to E1 Step 10 root Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-auPath)# root Exits to global configuration mode. Step 11 controller e1 interface-path-id Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# controller E1 0/0/2/0/1/1/1 Enters E1 controller configuration submode and specifies the E1 controller name and interface-path-id with the rack/slot/module/port/auNum/tugNum/t1Num notation.

CEM provides a bridge between a time-division multiplexing (TDM) network and a packet network using Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). The router encapsulates the TDM data in the MPLS packets and sends the data over a CEM pseudowire to the remote provider edge (PE) router. The following sections describe how to configure CEM: • Configuration Guidelines and Restrictions Step 13 controller e1 interface-path-id Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# controller E1 0/0/2/0/1/1/7 Enters E1 controller configuration submode and specifies the E1 controller name and interface-path-id with the rack/slot/module/port/auNum/tugNum/t1Num notation. Step 14 cem-group framed group-number timeslots range1-range2 Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# cem-group framed 0 timeslots 1 Creates an structure aware CEM interface. Step 15 no shutdown Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# no shutdown Removes the shutdown configuration. Note Removal of the shutdown configuration eliminates the forced administrative down on the interface, enabling it to move to an up or down state (assuming that the parent SONET layer is not configured administratively down). Step 16 end or commit Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# end or RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# commit Saves configuration changes. • When you issue the end command, the system prompts you to commit changes: Uncommitted changes found, commit them before exiting(yes/no/cancel)? [cancel]: – Entering yes saves configuration changes to the running configuration file, exits the configuration session, and returns the router to EXEC mode. – Entering no exits the configuration session and returns the router to EXEC mode without committing the configuration changes. – Entering cancel leaves the router in the current configuration session without exiting or committing the configuration changes. • Use the commit command to save the configuration changes to the running configuration file and remain within the configuration session.

If you apply an incompatible payload size or dejitter buffer configuration, the router rejects it and reverts to the previous configuration. Configuring a Global CEM Class This task explains how to configure a global CEM class. Note Any interface configuration would have higher precedence over configuration applied through attaching a CEM class. Also, CEM class attached to an interface would have higher precedence than CEM class attached to the parent controller. For example, if the dummy pattern value of 0xcf is applied directly to an interface and then a CEM class which contains dummy pattern value of 0xaa is attached to the same interface, then the dummy pattern value would be 0xcf. The new configuration would not be applied until the dummy pattern value applied directly to the interface is removed.

The size argument specifies the number of bytes in the payload of each packet. The range is from 32 to 1312 bytes. Default payload sizes for an unstructured CEM channel are as follows: • E1 = 256 bytes • T1 = 192 bytes • E3 = 1024 bytes • T3 = 1024 bytes Default payload sizes for a structured CEM channel depend on the number of time slots that constitute the channel. Payload (L in bytes), number of time slots (N), and packetization delay (D in milliseconds) have the following relationship: L = 8*N*D. The default payload size is calculated using the packetization latency depending on the number of time slots the cem interface represents. The relationship between the number of time slots and the packetization latency is provided below: • For N = 1, D is 8 milliseconds (with the corresponding packet payloadsize of 64 bytes) • For 2 <=N <= 4, D is 4 milliseconds (with the corresponding packetpayload size of 32*N bytes) • For N >= 5, D is 1 millisecond (with the corresponding packet payloadsize of 8*N octets). Support of 5 ms packetization latency for N = 1 is recommended. Setting the Dejitter Buffer Size To specify the size of the dejitter buffer used to compensate for the network filter, use the cem dejitter command. The configured dejitter buffer size is converted from milliseconds to packets and rounded up to the next integral number of packets. Use the size argument to specify the size of the buffer, in milliseconds. The range is from 1 to 500 ms. The following is an example: Router(config-cem)# cem dejitter 5 The default dejitter buffer for a CEM channel, irrespective of CESoPSN or SAToP, is as follows: • E1 = 16 milliseconds • T1 = 16 milliseconds • E3 = 5 milliseconds • T3 = 5 milliseconds Note Refer Table 6, Table 7, and Table 8 for the relationship between payload and dejitter buffer on SAToP T1/E1, T3/E3, and CESoPSN lines. Configuration of payload and dejitter should be in accordance with the minimum and maximum values as mentioned in the table. Note The maximum and minimum dejitter buffer value, that is the range is fixed for a given payload value.Configuring Circuit Emulation over Packet on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to implement CEM HC-371 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Setting an Idle Pattern To specify an idle pattern, use the [no] cem idle pattern pattern command. The payload of each lost CESoPSN data packet must be replaced with the equivalent amount of the replacement data. The range for pattern is from 0x0 to 0xff; the default idle pattern is 0xff. This is an example: Router(config-cem)# cem idle pattern 0xff If the expected CEM packets are not received for a given CEM interface and are considered as being lost, then the CEoP SPA will play out the idle pattern towards the TDM attachment circuit in the respective timeslots configured in the CEM group. Enabling Dummy Mode Dummy mode enables a bit pattern for filling in for lost or corrupted frames. To enable dummy mode, use the cem dummy mode [last-frame | user-defined] command. The default is last-frame. This is an example: Router(config-cem)# cem dummy mode last-frame When packets are lost due to misordering or where reordering of packets is not successful, the CEoP SPA will play out the Dummy pattern towards the TDM attachment circuit in respective timeslots configured in the CEM group. Setting a Dummy Pattern If dummy mode is set to user-defined, you can use the cem dummy-pattern command to configure the dummy pattern. The range for pattern is from 0x0 to 0xff. The default dummy pattern is 0xff. This is an example: Router(config-cem)# cem dummy-pattern 0xff The Table 6 shows the relationship between payload and dejitter for T1/E1 SAToP lines. Table 6 T1/E1 SAToP lines: Payload and Jitter Limits The Table 7 shows the relationship between payload and dejitter for T3/E3 SAToP lines.

Each SPA also supplies a reference clock to the host which can be selected among the received port clocks. This section provides information about how to configure clocking on the 1xOC3 SPA. This section describes the following topics: • Configuring Clock Recovery • Verifying Clock recovery Configuring Clock Recovery When configuring clock recovery, consider the following guidelines: Adaptive Clock Recovery • Clock source: – In Cisco IOS XR Release 4.2.0 and later, recovered clock from a CEM interface on the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM1 CEoP SPA can be used as a clock source on the SPA itself. • Number of clock sources allowed: – Refer the section Clock Distribution, page 354 for more information. • The clock must be the same as used by the router as the network clock. Any pseudowire in this case can carry the clock. • The minimum bundle size of CEM pseudowires on the network that delivers robust clock recovery is 4 DS0s. • The minimum packet size of CEM pseudowires on the network that delivers robust clock recovery is 64 bytes. Differential Clocking • The maximum number of differential clocks sourced from a 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM1 CEoP SPA is 10. • The 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM1 CEoP SPA can recover up to 10 T1/E1 clocks. • There are several bundles sent from the same port. The bundle that is used for carrying the clock of the port is the first created bundle of the port. Only pseudowires that include the first DS0 of a port can carry differential clock. • You must have a Stratum-1 clock, a common clock going to both PE routers. If not, the recovery will not work as expected. To configure clock recovery on the CEoP SPA and to apply the recovered clock to the controller, use the following procedure: SUMMARY STEPS 1. configure 2. interface cem rack/slot/subslot/port:cem-group 3. transmit-clock differential Configuring Circuit Emulation over Packet on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to implement CEM HC-374 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 4. recover-clock clock-id {adaptive |differential} 5. controller {t1|e1|t3|e3} rack/slot/subslot/port 6. clock source recovered clock-id DETAILED STEPS Command or Action Purpose Step 1 configure Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure Enters global configuration mode.

This is typically configured at the node acting as Master to send the clock. This command is not required for Adaptive Clock Recovery. Step 4 recover-clock clock-id {adaptive | differential} Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# recover-clock clock-id <> adaptive Specifies the recovered clock number and the clock recovery type. This is typically configured at the node acting as Slave that recovers the clock from incoming CEM packets from core. Step 5 controller name instance Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# controller t1 0/1/1/0/0/0 Enters controller configuration submode and specifies the controller name and instance identifier with the rack/slot/module/port/name/instance1/instance2 notation.

It is a set of standards defining the rates and formats for optical networks specified in American National Standards Institute (ANSI) T1.105, ANSI T1.106, and ANSI T1.117. For more information about configuring a channelized SONET controller, see the “Configuring Channelized SONET/SDH on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router” module. The commands for configuring the Layer 1 SONET controllers are provided in the Cisco IOS XR Interface and Hardware Component Command Reference.

If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance. Before configuring SONET controllers, be sure that the following tasks and conditions are met: • You have one of the following SPAs installed: – Cisco 2-Port Channelized OC-12c/DS0 SPA – Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-48/STM-16 SPA – Cisco 4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA – Cisco 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA – Cisco 1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR XFP SPA – Cisco 2-Port OC-48c/STM-16 POS/RPR SPA – Cisco 8-Port OC-12c/STM-4 POS SPA • You know how to apply the specify the SONET controller name and instance identifier with the generalized notation rack/slot/module/port. The SONET controller name and instance identifier are required with the controller sonet command. Information About Configuring SONET Controllers To configure SONET controllers, you must understand the following concepts: • SONET Controller Overview, page 382 • Default Configuration Values for SONET Controllers, page 383 • SONET APS, page 384 SONET Controller Overview In routers supporting Cisco IOS XR software, the physical ports on certain line cards are called controllers. Before you can configure channelized SONET or a serial interface, you need to configure the SONET controller.Configuring Clear Channel SONET Controllers on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring SONET Controllers HC-383 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 The commands used to configure the physical SONET port are grouped under the SONET controller configuration mode. To get to the SONET controller configuration mode, enter the controller sonet command in global configuration mode. You can also preconfigure a SONET controller using the controller preconfigure sonet global configuration command. The router uses SONET controllers for Layer 1 and Layer 2 processing. Default Configuration Values for SONET Controllers Table 9 describes some default configuration parameters that are present on SONET controllers. Table 9 SONET Controller Default Configuration Values Parameter Default Value Configuration File Entry Reporting of the following alarms for a SONET controller: • Bit 1 (B1) bit error rate (BER) threshold crossing alert (TCA) errors • Bit 2 (B2) BER TCA errors • Signal failure BER errors • Section loss of frame (SLOF) errors • Section loss of signal (SLOS) errors enabled To disable reporting of any alarms enabled by default, use the no report [b1-tca | b2-tca | sf-ber | slof | slos] command in SONET/SDH configuration mode. To enable reporting of line alarm indication signal (LAIS), line remote defect indication (LRDI), or signal degradation BER errors, use the report [lais | lrdi | sd-ber] command in SONET/SDH configuration mode. Reporting of the following alarms for a SONET path controller: • Bit 3 (B3) BER TCA errors • Path loss of pointer (PLOP) errors enabled To disable B3 BER TCA or PLOP reporting on the SONET path controller, enter the no report b3-tca or no report plop command in SONET/SDH path configuration submode. To enable reporting of path alarm indication signal (PAIS), path payload mismatch (PPLM), path remote defect indication (PRDI), or path trace identity mismatch (PTIM) errors, use the report [ pais | pplm | prdi | ptim command in SONET/SDH path configuration submode. Configuring Clear Channel SONET Controllers on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure Clear Channel SONET Controllers HC-384 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 SONET APS The automatic protection switching (APS) feature allows switchover of interfaces in the event of failure, and is often required when connecting SONET equipment to telco equipment. APS refers to the mechanism of using a protect interface in the SONET network as the backup for working interface. When the working interface fails, the protect interface quickly assumes its traffic load. The working interfaces and their protect interfaces make up an APS group. In Cisco IOS XR software, SONET APS configuration defines a working line and a protection line for each redundant line pair. The working line is the primary or preferred line, and communications take place over that line as long as the line remains operative. If a failure occurs on the working line, APS initiates a switchover to the protection line. For proper APS operation between two routers, a working line on one router must also be the working line on the other router, and the same applies to the protection line. In a SONET APS group, each connection may be bidirectional or unidirectional, and revertive or non-revertive. The same signal payload is sent to the working and protect interfaces. The working and protect interfaces terminate in two different routers. The protect interface directs the working interface to activate or deactivate in the case of degradation, loss of channel signal, or manual intervention. If communication between the working and protect interfaces is lost, the working router assumes full control of the working interface as if no protect circuit existed. In an APS group, each line is called a channel. In bidirectional mode, the receive and transmit channels are switched as a pair. In unidirectional mode, the transmit and receive channels are switched independently. For example, in bidirectional mode, if the receive channel on the working interface has a loss of channel signal, both the receive and transmit channels are switched.

Configuring Clear Channel SONET Controllers on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure Clear Channel SONET Controllers HC-386 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Step 3 clock source {internal | line} Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# clock source internal Configures the SONET port transmit clock source, where the internal keyword sets the internal clock and line keyword sets the clock recovered from the line. • Use the line keyword whenever clocking is derived from the network. Use the internal keyword when two routers are connected back-to-back or over fiber for which no clocking is available. Note The line clock is the default. Step 4 line delay trigger value Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# line delay trigger 3000 (Optional) Configures the SONET line delay trigger values, where the trigger values are in the range from 0 through 60000 milliseconds, and the default delay trigger value is 0 milliseconds. Step 5 line delay clear value Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# line delay clear 4000 (Optional) Configures the amount of time before a SONET line delay trigger alarm is cleared. The range is from 1000 through 180000 milliseconds, and the default is 10 seconds. Step 6 framing {sdh | sonet} Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# framing sonet (Optional) Configures the controller framing with either the sdh keyword for Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) framing or the sonet keyword for SONET framing. SONET framing (sonet) is the default. Step 7 loopback {internal | line} Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# loopback internal (Optional) Configures the SONET controller for loopback, where the internal keyword selects internal (terminal) loopback, or the line keyword selects line (facility) loopback. Step 8 overhead {j0 | s1s0} byte-value Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# overhead s1s0 (Optional) Configures the controller’s overhead, where the j0 keyword specifies the STS identifier (J0/C1) byte, and the s1s0 keyword specifies bits s1 and s0 of H1 byte. • The default byte value for the j0 keyword is 0xcc, and the default byte value for the s1s0 keyword is 0. • The range of valid values for j0 and s1s0 is 0 through 255.

Keyword definitions are as follows: • ais-shut—Set sending path alarm indication signal (PAIS) when shut down. • b3-ber-prdi—Enable sending of a path-level remote defect indication (PRDI) when the bit error rate (BER) bit interleaved parity (BIP) threshold is exceeded. • delay clear value—Set the amount of time before a Synchronous Transport Signal (STS) path delay trigger alarm is cleared. Replace the value argument with a number in the range from 0 through 180000 milliseconds. The default value is 10 seconds. • delay trigger value —Set SONET path delay values or delay trigger value. Replace the value argument with a number in the range from 0 through 60000 milliseconds. The default value is 0 milliseconds. • overhead [c2 byte-value | j1 line] —Set SONET POH byte or bit values. Enter the c2 keyword to specify STS SPE content (C2) byte, and replace the byte-value argument with a number in the range from 0 through 255. Enter the j1 keyword to configure the SONET path trace (J1) buffer, and replace the line argument with the path trace buffer identifier (in ASCII text). • report [b3-tca | pais | plop | pplm | prdi | ptim]—Set SONET path alarm reporting. Specifies which alarms are reported and which bit error rate (BER) thresholds will signal an alarm. By default, B3 BER threshold crossing alert (TCA) and path loss of pointer (PLOP) reporting are enabled. Specifying the pais keyword sets PAIS reporting status; pplm sets path payload mismatch (PPLM) defect reporting status; prdi sets path remote defect indication reporting status; and ptim sets path trace identity mismatch (PTIM) defect reporting status. The no report b3-tca and no report plop commands in SONET/SDH path configuration submode disable B3 BER TCA and PLOP reporting status, respectively. • scrambling disable—Disable SPE scrambling. Note that SPE scrambling is enabled by default. • threshold b3-tca BER—Set SONET path BER threshold value. Replace the BER argument with a number in the range from 3 through 9. The threshold value is interpreted as a negative exponent of 10 when determining the bit error rate. For example, a value of 5 implies a bit error rate of 10 to the minus 5. The default BER threshold value is 6. • uneq-shut—Sets sending Unequipped (UNEQ) when shut down.

This task explains how to configure basic automatic protection switching (APS) on the router and how to configure more than one protect or working interface on a router by using the aps group command. To verify the configuration or to determine if a switchover has occurred, use the show aps command. Prerequisites Before you configure SONET APS, be sure that you have a supported channelized SPA installed in a router that is running Cisco IOS XR software. On the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, you must have a 2-Port Channelized OC-12c/DS0 SPA installed. Restrictions Before you configure SONET APS, consider the following restictions: • The POS SPAs on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router do not support either single router or multirouter APS. Step 10 end or commit Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# end or RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# commit Saves configuration changes. • When you issue the end command, the system prompts you to commit changes: Uncommitted changes found, commit them before exiting(yes/no/cancel)? [cancel]: – Entering yes saves configuration changes to the running configuration file, exits the configuration session, and returns the router to EXEC mode. – Entering no exits the configuration session and returns the router to EXEC mode without committing the configuration changes. – Entering cancel leaves the router in the current configuration session without exiting or committing the configuration changes. • Use the commit command to save the configuration changes to the running configuration file and remain within the configuration session. Step 11 show controllers sonet interface-path-id Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# show controllers sonet 0/1/0/0 Verifies the SONET controller configuration.

Step 2 aps group number Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# aps group 1 Adds an APS group with a specified number and enters APS group configuration mode. • Use the aps group command in global configuration mode. • To remove a group, use the no form of this command, as in: no aps group number, where the value range is from 1–255. Note To use the aps group command, you must be a member of a user group associated with the proper task IDs for aps commands. Note The aps group command is used even when a single protect group is configured. Step 3 channel {0 | 1} local sonet interface Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-aps)# channel 0 local SONET 0/0/0/1 Creates a channel for the APS group. 0 designates a protect channel, and 1 designates a working channel. Note If the protect channel is local, it must be assigned using the channel command before any of the working channels is assigned. Step 4 Repeat Step 3 for each channel in the group. — Step 5 exit Exits APS group configuration mode and enters global configuration mode. Step 6 interface loopback number Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface loopback 1 (Optional) Configures a loopback interface if a two-router APS is desired and enters interface configuration mode for a loopback interface. Note In this example, the loopback interface is used as the interconnect. Step 7 ipv4 address ip-address mask Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# ipv4 address 172.18.0.1 255.255.255.224 Assigns an IPV4 address and subnet mask to the loopback interface. Step 8 exit Exits interface configuration mode for a loopback interface, and enters global configuration mode.Configuring Clear Channel SONET Controllers on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure Clear Channel SONET Controllers HC-391 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Step 9 interface pos interface-path-id or interface serial interface-path-id Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface POS 0/2/0/0 or RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface serial 0/1/1/0/0/0:0 Connects the interface for the channel selected in Step 3, and enters interface configuration mode. For serial interfaces, specifies the complete interface number with the rack/slot/module/port/T3Num/T1num:instance notation. Step 10 ipv4 address ip-address mask Example: RP/0//CPU0:router(config-if)# ipv4 address 172.18.0.1 255.255.255.224 Assigns an IPv4 address and subnet mask to the interface. Step 11 pos crc {16 | 32} or crc {16 | 32} Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# pos crc 32 or RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# crc 32 Selects a CRC value for the channel. Enter the 16 keyword to specify 16-bit CRC mode, or enter the 32 keyword to specify 32-bit CRC mode. For POS interfaces, the default CRC is 32. For serial interfaces, the default is 16. Step 12 encapsulation {frame-relay | hdlc | ppp} Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# encapsulation ppp (Serial interfaces only) Set the Layer 2 encapsulation of an interface. Step 13 keepalive {interval | disable}[retry] Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# keepalive disable Sets the keepalive timer for the channel, where: • interval—Number of seconds (from 1 to 30) between keepalive messages. The default is 10. • disable—Turns off the keepalive timer. • retry—(Optional) Number of keepalive messages (from 1 to 255) that can be sent to a peer without a response before transitioning the link to the down state. The default is 5 for interfaces with PPP encapsulation, and 3 for interfaces with HDLC encapsulation. The keepalive command does not apply to interfaces using Frame Relay encapsulation. Step 14 no shutdown Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# no shutdown Removes the shutdown configuration. • The removal of the shutdown configuration removes the forced administrative down on the interface, enabling that interface to move to an up or down state (assuming the parent SONET layer is not configured administratively down). Step 15 Repeat Step 9 through Step 13 for each channel in the group. — Command or Action PurposeConfiguring Clear Channel SONET Controllers on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure Clear Channel SONET Controllers HC-392 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Step 16 exit Exits interface configuration mode, and enters global configuration mode.

Step 18 ais-shut Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# ais-shut Configures SONET path values such as alarm indication signal (AIS) at shut down. Step 19 path scrambling disable Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# path scrambling disable (Optional) Disables synchronous payload envelope (SPE) scrambling. Note SPE scrambling is enabled by default. Step 20 clock source {internal | line} Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# clock source internal Configures the SONET port TX clock source, where the internal keyword sets the internal clock and the line keyword sets the clock recovered from the line. • Use the line keyword whenever clocking is derived from the network; use the internal keyword when two routers are connected back-to-back or over fiber for which no clocking is available. • The line clock (line) is the default. Step 21 Repeat Step 16 through Step 19 for each channel in the group. — Step 22 end or commit Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# end or RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# commit Saves configuration changes. • When you issue the end command, the system prompts you to commit changes: Uncommitted changes found, commit them before exiting(yes/no/cancel)?

When APS is configured in a SONET core network, an alarm might be generated toward a router downstream. If the router downstream is configured with FRR, you may want to configure a hold-off timer at the SONET level to prevent FRR from being triggered while the CORE network is doing a restoration.

The command reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance. Before configuring T3/E3 controllers, be sure that you have one of the following supported SPAs installed in the router: • Cisco 2-Port and 4-Port Clear Channel T3/E3 SPA • Cisco 4-Port Channelized T3/DS0 SPA Note The 4-Port Channelized T3/DS0 SPA can run in clear channel mode, or it can be channelized into 28 T1 or 21 E1 controllers. • Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA • Cisco 2-Port Channelized OC-12c/DS0 SPA • Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-48/STM-16 SPA • Cisco 8-Port Channelized T1/E1 SPA • Before you can configure a clear channel T3 controller on the channelized SONET SPAs, you must configure the SPA for an STS stream channelized for T3. For more information, see the “Configuring Channelized SONET/SDH on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router” module. Information About T3/E3 Controllers and Serial Interfaces The 2-Port and 4-Port Clear Channel T3/E3 SPAs support clear channel services over serial lines only. The 4-Port Channelized T3/DS0 SPA supports clear channel services and channelized serial lines. If a controller is not channelized, then it is a clear channel controller, and the full bandwidth of its associated serial line is dedicated to a single channel that carries serial services. When a T3 controller is channelized, it is logically divided into smaller bandwidth T1 or E1 controllers, depending on which mode of channelization you select. The sum of the bandwidth of the serial interfaces on the T1 or E1 controllers cannot exceed the bandwidth of the T3 controller that contains those channelized T1 or E1 controllers. When you channelize a T3 controller, each individual T1 or E1 controller is automatically further channelized into DS0 time slots. A single T1 controller carries 24 DS0 time slots, and a single E1 controller carries 31 DS0 time slots. Users can divide these DS0 time slots up into individual channel groups. Each channel group can support a single serial interface.Configuring Clear Channel T3/E3 and Channelized T3 and T1/E1 Controllers on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About T3/E3 Controllers and Serial Interfaces 401 Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 When a controller is channelized, and channel groups have been created, services are provisioned on the associated serial interfaces. The channelization feature in this release allows the following types of channelization: • A single T3 controller into 28 T1 controllers, for a total controller size of 44210 kbps. • A single T3 controller into 21 E1 controllers, for a total controller size of 43008 kbps. • A single T1 controller supports up to 1.536 MB. • A single E1 controller supports up to 2.048 MB.

Step 2 Configure the T1 or E1 controller. Step 3 Create channel groups and assign DS0 time slots to these channel groups as desired. Step 4 Configure the serial interfaces that are associated with the individual channel groups, as described in the Configuring Serial Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router module later in this document. Default Configuration Values for T3 and E3 Controllers Table 11 describes the default configuration parameters that are present on the T3 and E3 controllers. Note • Auto-detect framing is not supported on the 2-Port Channelized OC-12c/DS0 SPA. • E3 is not supported on the 4-Port Channelized T3/DS0 SPA.

If you configure internal clocking on both ends of a connection, framing slips occur. If you configure line clocking on both ends of a connection, the line does not come up. Link Noise Monitoring on T1 or E1 Links Link Noise Monitoring (LNM) provides the ability to monitor Path Code Violation (PCV) errors on T1 and E1 links on the 2-Port Channelized OC-12c/DS0 SPA on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, and to signal events and alarms on these links when noise continuously meets or exceeds configured thresholds (the set threshold values) for those errors. Events are also signaled when noise falls below configured improved thresholds (the clear threshold values). Beginning in Cisco IOS XR Release 4.1, the LNM feature supports the lnm remove command to signal the Noise Attribute to PPP to remove an MLPPP bundle member link when specified thresholds are crossed. Note An LCV is an occurrence of either a Bi-Polar Violation (BPV) or Excessive Zeroes (EXZ) error, and a PCV is an occurrence of a CRC error in a timeslot. However, the LNM feature currently only monitors PCV errors. The LCV values are only used to calculate an expected PCV if the PCV values are not specified. If the PCV values are specified, then the LCV values are ignored. LNM Events There are two basic types of monitoring events produced by LNM: • Crossed events—A crossed event signals when PCV threshold values continuously meet or exceed the specified set values for major and minor warnings for a specified period of time (duration). When a crossed event occurs, the major or minor monitoring type for the controller is reported as the alarm state. When the crossed event is no longer present, the monitoring type returns to the stable state. The following are examples of crossed events: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router#0/1/CPU0:May 13 9:54:10.980 : g_spa_1[181]: %L2-T1E1_LNM-3-MINWARNNOISE : Interface T10/1/1/0/1/1/1, noise crossed minor warning threshold RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router#0/1/CPU0:May 13 9:54:11.980 : g_spa_1[181]: %L2-T1E1_LNM-3-MAJWARNNOISE : Interface T10/1/1/0/1/1/1, noise crossed major warning threshold • Cleared events—A cleared event signals when threshold values that were crossed have fallen below the specified clear values for major and minor warnings. The following are examples of cleared events: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router#LC/0/1/CPU0:May 13 10:27:25.809 : g_spa_1[181]: %L2-T1E1_LNM-3-MAJWARNNOISE : Interface T10/1/1/0/1/1/1, noise cleared major warning threshold RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router#LC/0/1/CPU0:May 13 10:28:14.810 : g_spa_1[181]: %L2-T1E1_LNM-3-MINWARNNOISE : Interface T10/1/1/0/1/1/1, noise cleared minor warning thresholdConfiguring Clear Channel T3/E3 and Channelized T3 and T1/E1 Controllers on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure Clear Channel T3/E3 Controllers and Channelized T1/E1 Controllers 409 Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 LNM Logging When you enable syslog messages for LNM events using the lnm syslog command, LNM messages will appear in both the system log and in the log events buffer. You can display LNM events in the log events buffer using the show logging events buffer bistate-alarms-set command, and also using the show logging command, which are described in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router System Monitoring Command Reference. LNM supports hierarchical level alarm reporting as defined in the Telcordia (Bellcore) GR-253 standard. Hierarchical alarm reporting means that whenever a higher alarm is asserted, the lower alarm state is suppressed. When the high alarm is cleared, the lower alarm will re-assert if the condition still exists. For LNM, this means that if a major warning threshold is continuously met or exceeded resulting in a crossed event and alarm state, then a minor warning alarm state is suppressed and returned to stable state. The minor crossed event also is removed from the bistate log. When the major warning is cleared, the minor warning alarm is asserted if the condition still exists. Only a single crossed event for major warnings will appear in the bistate log for the controller. Therefore, you will see only a single log message for a controller if noise exists above configured threshold values. How to Configure Clear Channel T3/E3 Controllers and Channelized T1/E1 Controllers The T3/E3 controllers are configured in the physical layer control element of the Cisco IOS XR software configuration space.

Modifying the Default E3 Controller Configuration This task explains how to modify the default E3 controller configuration, which is described in the “Default Configuration Values for T3 and E3 Controllers” section earlier in this module. Prerequisites You must configure a clear channel E3 controller, as described in the “Configuring a Clear Channel E3 Controller” section earlier in this module. Step 5 end or commit Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-e3)# end or RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-e3)# commit Saves configuration changes. • When you issue the end command, the system prompts you to commit changes: Uncommitted changes found, commit them before exiting(yes/no/cancel)? [cancel]: – Entering yes saves configuration changes to the running configuration file, exits the configuration session, and returns the router to EXEC mode. – Entering no exits the configuration session and returns the router to EXEC mode without committing the configuration changes. – Entering cancel leaves the router in the current configuration session without exiting or committing the configuration changes. • Use the commit command to save the configuration changes to the running configuration file and remain within the configuration session.

Configuring BERT Depending on your hardware support, BERT is supported on each of the T3/E3 or T1/E1 controllers, and on the DS0 channel groups. It is done only over an unframed T3/E3 or T1/E1 signal and is run on only one port at a time. It is also supported on individual channel groups. To view the BERT results, use the show controllers t1 or show controllers t3 command in EXEC mode. The BERT results include the following information: • Type of test pattern selected • Status of the test • Interval selected • Time remaining on the BER test • Total bit errors • Total bits received Step 14 Repeat Step 2 through Step 13 to assign more channel groups to a controller as desired. — Step 15 end or commit Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-e3)# end or RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-e3)# commit Saves configuration changes. • When you issue the end command, the system prompts you to commit changes: Uncommitted changes found, commit them before exiting(yes/no/cancel)? [cancel]: – Entering yes saves configuration changes to the running configuration file, exits the configuration session, and returns the router to EXEC mode. – Entering no exits the configuration session and returns the router to EXEC mode without committing the configuration changes. – Entering cancel leaves the router in the current configuration session without exiting or committing the configuration changes. • Use the commit command to save the configuration changes to the running configuration file and remain within the configuration session.

Configuring Link Noise Monitoring on a T1 or E1 Channel This section describes how to configure Link Noise Monitoring (LNM) on a T1 or E1 channel on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. Prerequisites Before you configure LNM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, be sure that these requirements are met: • A 2-Port Channelized OC-12c/DS0 SPA is installed. • The 2-Port Channelized OC-12/DS0 SPA is configured as a channelized T3 controller running in T1 or E1 mode, as described in the “Configuring a Channelized T3 Controller” section on page 415. • The T1 or E1 controller is configured as a single channel supporting the full 24 or 31 DS0 time slots, as described in the “Configuring a T1 Controller” section on page 421 or “Configuring an E1 Controller” section on page 425. LNM is not supported on a fractional T1 or E1 link. Restrictions Before you configure LNM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, consider these restrictions: • The lnm major-warning and lnm remove commands are mutually exclusive. You can only configure one of these LNM functions on a controller. • The lnm minor-warning command can be configured with the lnm major-warning or lnm remove commands on a controller. • When the lnm remove command is configured, links in an MLPPP bundle are removed only up to the threshold set by the ppp multilink minimum-active links command.

There should not normally be any need to clear the LNM controller states. The state option resets the LNM configuration which causes an update of the current LNM states in the system. Therefore, under normal conditions, if the controller is in alarm state, the reset should continue to report the alarm state; alternatively, if the controller is clear of any alarms, the reset will show the stable state. The use of the clear controller lnm state command does not actually clear any alarms, but causes a refresh of their values in the system. Therefore, this command can be used if the reported controller state should happen to be out of synchronization with the actual controller state. To reset LNM states, use the clear controller lnm command as shown in the following example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router# clear controller t1 0/1/0/0/1/1 lnm state To clear LNM statistics and reset counters to zero, use the clear controller lnm command as shown in the following example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router# clear controller t1 0/1/0/0/1/1 lnm statistics RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router# show controller T1 0/1/0/1/1/1 lnm statistics Thu May 13 11:26:20.991 PDT Controller T1 0/1/0/1/1/1 Monitoring type Minor-Warn Major-Warn --------------- ------------ ------------ Create 0 0 Update 0 0 Delete 0 0 Clear 0 0 Noise Crossed 0 0 Noise Cleared 0 0 Configuration Examples This section contains the following examples: • Configuring a Clear Channel T3 Controller: Example, page 440 • Configuring a T3 Controller with Channelized T1 Controllers: Example, page 440 • Configuring BERT on a T3 Controller: Example, page 441 • Configuring Link Noise Monitoring on a T1 Controller: Examples, page 442 • QoS on T3 Channels: Example, page 443Configuring Clear Channel T3/E3 and Channelized T3 and T1/E1 Controllers on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Configuration Examples 440 Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Configuring a Clear Channel T3 Controller: Example The following example shows configuration for a clear channel T3 controller: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)#controller T3 0/3/2/0 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-t3)#clock source internal RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-t3)#mode serial RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-t3)#cablelength 4 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-t3)#framing c-bit RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-t3)#commit Configuring a T3 Controller with Channelized T1 Controllers: Example The following example shows how to configure a T3 controller that has been channelized 28 T1 controllers: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# controller T3 0/3/0/0 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-t3)# mode t1 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-t3)# framing m23 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-t3)# cablelength 11 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-t3)# clock source line RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-t3)#commit RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-t3)#exit RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# exit RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# show controllers T1 ? 0/3/0/0/0 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/1 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/10 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/11 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/12 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/13 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/14 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/15 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/16 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/17 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/18 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/19 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/2 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/20 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/21 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/22 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/23 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/24 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/25 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/26 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/27 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/3 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/4 T1 Interface Instance 0/3/0/0/5 T1 Interface Instance --More-- !

DWDM is an optical technology that is used to increase bandwidth over existing fiber-optic backbones. DWDM can be configured on supported 10-Gigabit Ethernet (GE) line cards. After you configure the DWDM controller, you can configure an associated 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface.

The command reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance. Before configuring a DWDM controller, be sure that you have installed one of the following cards that support DWDM: • Cisco 8-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Line Card • Cisco 2-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet + 20-port Gigabit Ethernet Combination Line Card Information About the DWDM Controllers DWDM support in Cisco IOS XR software is based on the Optical Transport Network (OTN) protocol that is specified in ITU-T G.709. This standard combines the benefits of SONET/SDH technology with the multiwavelength networks of DWDM. It also provides for forward error correction (FEC) that can allow a reduction in network costs by reducing the number of regenerators used. To enable multiservice transport, OTN uses the concept of a wrapped overhead (OH). To illustrate this structure: • Optical channel payload unit (OPU) OH information is added to the information payload to form the OPU. The OPU OH includes information to support the adaptation of client signals. • Optical channel data unit (ODU) OH is added to the OPU to create the ODU. The ODU OH includes information for maintenance and operational functions to support optical channels. • Optical channel transport unit (OTU) OH together with the FEC is added to form the OTU. The OTU OH includes information for operational functions to support the transport by way of one or more optical channel connections. • Optical channel (OCh) OH is added to form the OCh. The OCh provides the OTN management functionality and contains four subparts: the OPU, ODU, OTU, and frame alignment signal (FAS). See Figure 33. Figure 33 OTN Optical Channel Structure FAS OTU ODU Payload FEC OPU 138893Configuring Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing Controllers on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information about IPoDWDM HC-449 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Information about IPoDWDM Cisco IOS XR software includes the IP over Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (IPoDWDM) feature. IPoDWDM is supported on the following hardware devices: • Cisco 8-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Line Card • Cisco 2-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet + 20-port Gigabit Ethernet Combination Line Card IPoDWDM currently provides the following software features: • Proactive Maintenance Proactive Maintenance Proactive maintenance automatically triggers Forward Error Correction-Fast Re-Route (FEC-FRR). Proactive maintenance requires coordinated maintenance between Layer 0 (L0) and Layer 3 (L3). L0 is the DWDM optical layer. FEC-FRR is an L3 protection mechanism. FEC-FRR detects failures before they happen and corrects errors introduced during transmission or that are due to a degrading signal. System administrators can configure the following IPoDWDM features: • Optical Layer DWDM port, see Configuring the Optical Layer DWDM Ports, page 457. • Administrative state of DWDM optical ports, see Configuring the Administrative State of DWDM Optical Ports, page 459. • FEC-FRR trigger threshold, window size, revert threshold, and revert window size, see Configuring Proactive FEC-FRR Triggering, page 461. FEC-FRR Triggering FEC-FRR can be configure to be triggered by the following alarms: • ais – Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) • bdi – Backward Defect Indication (BDI) • *bdiO – Backward Defect Indication - Overhead (BDI-O) • *bdiP – Backward Defect Indication - Payload (BDI-P) • *deg – Degraded (DEG) • lck – Locked (LCK) • lof – Loss of Frame (LOF) • lom – Loss of Multi Frame • los – Loss of Signal (LOS) • *losO – Loss of Signal - Overhead (LOS-O) • *losP – Loss of Signal - Payload (LOS-P) • oci – Open Connection Indication (OCI) • plm – Payload Mismatch (PLM) • *ssf – Server Signal Failure (SSF) • *ssfO – Server Signal Failure - Overhead (SSF-O) • *ssfP – Server Signal Failure - Payload (SSF-P)Configuring Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing Controllers on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure DWDM Controllers HC-450 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 • tim – Trace Identifier Mismatch (TIM) Signal Logging DWDM statistic data, such as EC, UC and alarms, are collected and stored in the log file on the DWDM line card. How to Configure DWDM Controllers The DWDM controllers are configured in the physical layer control element of the Cisco IOS XR software configuration space. This configuration is done using the controller dwdm command, and is described in the following task: • Configuring G.709 Parameters, page 450 Note All interface configuration tasks for Gigabit Ethernet interfaces still must be performed in interface configuration mode. Configuring G.709 Parameters This task describes how to customize the alarm display and the thresholds for alerts and forward error correction (FEC). You need to use this task only if the default values are not correct for your installation. Prerequisites The loopback, and g709 fec commands can be used only when the controller is in the shutdown state. Use the admin-state command.

Step 2 controller dwdm interface-path-id Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config)# controller dwdm 0/1/0/0 Specifies the DWDM controller name in the notation rack/slot/module/port and enters DWDM configuration mode. Step 3 admin-state maintenance or admin-state out-of-service Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-dwdm)# admin-state out-of-service Disables the DWDM controller. You must disable the controller before you can use the DWDM configuration commands. Step 4 commit Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-dwdm)# commit Saves configuration changes. This performs the shutdown from the previous step. When the controller has been shut down, you can proceed with the configuration. Step 5 loopback {internal | line} Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-dwdm)# loopback internal (Optional) Configures the DWDM controller for loopback mode. Step 6 g709 fec {disable | standard} Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-dwdm)# g709 fec disable (Optional) Configures the forward error correction mode (FEC) for the DWDM controller. By default, enhanced FEC is enabled. Step 7 g709 {odu | otu} report alarm disable Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-dwdm)# g709 odu bdi disable (Optional) Disables the logging of selected optical channel data unit (ODU) alarms or optical channel transport unit (OTU) alarms to the console for a DWDM controller. By default, all alarms are logged to the console. Step 8 g709 otu overhead tti {expected | sent} {ascii | hex} tti-string Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-dwdm)# g709 otu overhead tti expected ascii test OTU 5678 Configures a transmit or expected Trail Trace Identifier (TTI) that is displayed in the show controller dwdm command.Configuring Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing Controllers on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure DWDM Controllers HC-452 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 What to Do Next All interface configuration tasks for the Gigabit Ethernet interfaces still must be performed in interface configuration mode. Refer to the corresponding modules in this book for more information. Step 9 end or commit Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-dwdm)# end or RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-dwdm)# commit Saves configuration changes. • When you issue the end command, the system prompts you to commit changes: Uncommitted changes found, commit them before exiting(yes/no/cancel)? [cancel]: – Entering yes saves configuration changes to the running configuration file, exits the configuration session, and returns the router to EXEC mode. – Entering no exits the configuration session and returns the router to EXEC mode without committing the configuration changes. – Entering cancel leaves the router in the current configuration session without exiting or committing the configuration changes. • Use the commit command to save the configuration changes to the running configuration file and remain within the configuration session. Step 10 admin-state in-service Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router(config-dwdm)# admin-state in-service Places the DWDM port in In Service (IS) state, to support all normal operation. Step 11 show controllers dwdm interface-path-id g709 Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Router# show controller dwdm 0/1/0/0 optics Displays the G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) protocol alarms and counters for Bit Errors, along with the FEC statistics and threshold-based alerts.

Thresholds are used to set error levels for each performance monitoring parameter. During the accumulation cycle, if the current value of a performance monitoring parameter reaches or exceeds its corresponding threshold value, a threshold crossing alert (TCA) can be generated. The TCAs provide early detection of performance degradation. Performance monitoring statistics are accumulated on a 15-minute basis, synchronized to the start of each quarter-hour. They are also accumulated on a daily basis starting at midnight. Historical counts are maintained for thirty-three 15-minute intervals and two daily intervals. Performance monitoring is described in the following task: • Configuring DWDM Controller Performance Monitoring, page 453 Configuring DWDM Controller Performance Monitoring This task describes how to configure performance monitoring on DWDM controllers and how to display the performance parameters.

POS interfaces provide secure and reliable data transmission over SONET and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) frames using Cisco High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) protocol or Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) encapsulation. In addition to Cisco HDLC and PPP encapsulation, the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router supports Frame Relay encapsulation. The commands for configuring Layer 1 POS interfaces are provided in the Cisco IOS XR Interface and Hardware Component Command Reference. Feature History for Configuring POS Interfaces on Cisco IOS XR Software Contents • Prerequisites for Configuring POS Interfaces, page 470 • Information About Configuring POS Interfaces, page 470 • How to Configure a POS Interface, page 475 • Configuration Examples for POS Interfaces, page 494 Release Modification Release 4.0.0 This feature was introduced on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router on the following SPAs: • Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-48/STM-16 SPA • Cisco 2-Port Channelized OC-12c/DS0 SPA • Cisco 1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR XFP SPA • Cisco 2-Port OC-48c/STM-16 POS/RPR SPA • Cisco 8-Port OC-12c/STM-4 POS SPA Release 4.0.1 Support for the following SPAs was added on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router: • Cisco 4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA • Cisco 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPAConfiguring POS Interfaces onthe Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Prerequisites for Configuring POS Interfaces HC-470 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 • Additional References, page 496 Prerequisites for Configuring POS Interfaces You must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. The command reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance. Before configuring POS interfaces, be sure that the following conditions are met: • You know the IP address of the interface you will assign to the new POS interface configuration. • You have configured a clear channel or channelized SONET controller, as described in the “Configuring Clear Channel SONET Controllers on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router” or “Configuring Channelized SONET/SDH on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router” modules. Information About Configuring POS Interfaces To configure POS interfaces, you must understand the following concepts: • Cisco HDLC Encapsulation, page 471 • PPP Encapsulation, page 471 • Keepalive Timer, page 472 • Frame Relay Encapsulation, page 473 • Default Settings for POS Interfaces, page 470 On the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, a single POS interface carries data using PPP, Cisco HDLC, or Frame Relay encapsulation. The router identifies the POS interface address by the physical layer interface module (PLIM) card rack number, slot number, bay number, and port number that are associated with that interface. If a subinterface and permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) are configured under the POS interface, then the router includes the subinterface number in the POS interface path ID. Default Settings for POS Interfaces When a POS interface is brought up and no additional configuration commands are applied, the default interface settings shown in Table 13 are present. These default settings can be changed by configuration. Configuring POS Interfaces onthe Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring POS Interfaces HC-471 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Note Default settings do not appear in the output of the show running-config command. Cisco HDLC Encapsulation Cisco High-Level Data Link Controller (HDLC) is the Cisco proprietary protocol for sending data over synchronous serial links using HDLC. Cisco HDLC also provides a simple control protocol called Serial Line Address Resolution Protocol (SLARP) to maintain serial link keepalives. HDLC is the default encapsulation type for POS interfaces under Cisco IOS XR software. Cisco HDLC is the default for data encapsulation at Layer 2 (data link) of the Open System Interconnection (OSI) stack for efficient packet delineation and error control. Note Cisco HDLC is enabled by default for POS interfaces. Cisco HDLC uses keepalives to monitor the link state, as described in the “Keepalive Timer” section on page 472. PPP Encapsulation PPP is a standard protocol used to send data over synchronous serial links. PPP also provides a Link Control Protocol (LCP) for negotiating properties of the link. LCP uses echo requests and responses to monitor the continuing availability of the link. Table 13 POS Modular Services Card and PLIM Default Interface Settings Parameter Configuration File Entry Default Settings Keepalive Note The keepalive command applies to POS interfaces using HDLC or PPP encapsulation. It does not apply to POS interfaces using Frame Relay encapsulation. keepalive {interval [retry] | disable} no keepalive Interval of 10 seconds Retry of: • 5 (with PPP encapsulation) • 3 (with HDLC encapsulation) Encapsulation encapsulation [hdlc | ppp | frame-relay [IETF]] hdlc Maximum transmission unit (MTU) mtu bytes 4474 bytes Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) crc [16 | 32] 32Configuring POS Interfaces onthe Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring POS Interfaces HC-472 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Note When an interface is configured with PPP encapsulation, a link is declared down, and full LCP negotiation is re-initiated after three ECHOREQ packets are sent without receiving an ECHOREP response. PPP provides the following Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for negotiating the properties of data protocols that run on the link: • IP Control Protocol (IPCP)—negotiates IP properties • Multiprotocol Label Switching control processor (MPLSCP)—negotiates MPLS properties • Cisco Discovery Protocol control processor (CDPCP)—negotiates CDP properties • IPv6CP—negotiates IP Version 6 (IPv6) properties • Open Systems Interconnection control processor (OSICP)—negotiates OSI properties PPP uses keepalives to monitor the link state, as described in the “Keepalive Timer” section on page 472. PPP supports the following authentication protocols, which require a remote device to prove its identity before allowing data traffic to flow over a connection: • Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)—CHAP authentication sends a challenge message to the remote device. The remote device encrypts the challenge value with a shared secret and returns the encrypted value and its name to the local router in a response message. The local router attempts to match the remote device’s name with an associated secret stored in the local username or remote security server database; it uses the stored secret to encrypt the original challenge and verify that the encrypted values match. • Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP)—MS-CHAP is the Microsoft version of CHAP. Like the standard version of CHAP, MS-CHAP is used for PPP authentication; in this case, authentication occurs between a personal computer using Microsoft Windows NT or Microsoft Windows 95 and a Cisco router or access server acting as a network access server. • Password Authentication Protocol (PAP)—PAP authentication requires the remote device to send a name and a password, which are checked against a matching entry in the local username database or in the remote security server database. Note For more information on enabling and configuring PPP authentication protocols, see the “Configuring PPP on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router” module later in this manual. Use the ppp authentication command in interface configuration mode to enable CHAP, MS-CHAP, and PAP on a POS interface. Note Enabling or disabling PPP authentication does not effect the local router’s willingness to authenticate itself to the remote device. Keepalive Timer Cisco keepalives are useful for monitoring the link state. Periodic keepalives are sent to and received from the peer at a frequency determined by the value of the keepalive timer. If an acceptable keepalive response is not received from the peer, the link makes the transition to the down state. As soon as an acceptable keepalive response is obtained from the peer or if keepalives are disabled, the link makes the transition to the up state.Configuring POS Interfaces onthe Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring POS Interfaces HC-473 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 If three keepalives are sent to the peer and no response is received from peer, then the link makes the transition to the down state. ECHOREQ packets are sent out only when LCP negotiation is complete (for example, when LCP is open). Note The keepalive command applies to POS interfaces using HDLC or PPP encapsulation. It does not apply to POS interfaces using Frame Relay encapsulation. Use the keepalive command in interface configuration mode to set the frequency at which LCP sends ECHOREQ packets to its peer. To restore the system to the default keepalive interval of 10 seconds, use the keepalive command with no argument. To disable keepalives, use the keepalive disable command. For both PPP and Cisco HDLC, a keepalive of 0 disables keepalives and is reported in the show running-config command output as keepalive disable. To remove the keepalive command from the configuration entirely, use the no keepalive command. You must remove the keepalive command from an interface configuration before you can configure Frame Relay encapsulation on that interface. Frame Relay interfaces do not support keepalives. Note During MDR, the keepalive interval must be 10 seconds or more. When LCP is running on the peer and receives an ECHOREQ packet, it responds with an echo reply (ECHOREP) packet, regardless of whether keepalives are enabled on the peer. Keepalives are independent between the two peers. One peer end can have keepalives enabled while the other end has them disabled. Even if keepalives are disabled locally, LCP still responds with ECHOREP packets to the ECHOREQ packets it receives. Similarly, LCP also works if the period of keepalives at each end is different. Note Use the debug chdlc slarp packet command and other Cisco HDLC debug commands to display information about the Serial Line Address Resolution Protocol (SLARP) packets that are sent to the peer after the keepalive timer has been configured. Frame Relay Encapsulation On the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, Frame Relay encapsulated POS interface configuration is hierarchical and comprises the following elements: 1. The POS main interface is comprised of the physical interface and port. If you are not using the POS interface to support Cisco HDLC and PPP encapsulated connections, then you must configure subinterfaces with PVCs under the POS main interface. Frame Relay connections are supported on PVCs only. 2. POS subinterfaces are configured under the POS main interface. A POS subinterface does not actively carry traffic until you configure a PVC under the POS subinterface. 3. Point-to-point and Layer 2 attachment circut (AC) PVCs are configured under a POS subinterface. You cannot configure a PVC directly under a main interface. A single point-to-point or L2 AC PVC is allowed per subinterface. PVCs use a predefined circuit path and fail if the path is interrupted. PVCs remain active until the circuit is removed. Connections on the POS PVC support Frame Relay encapsulation only. 4. Layer 3 configuration typically takes place on the subinterface.Configuring POS Interfaces onthe Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring POS Interfaces HC-474 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Note The administrative state of a parent interface drives the state of the subinterface and its PVC. When the administrative state of a parent interface or subinterface changes, so does the administrative state of any child PVC configured under that parent interface or subinterface. On the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, the following SPAs support Frame Relay encapsulation: • Cisco 4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA • Cisco 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA • Cisco 1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR XFP SPA • Cisco 2-Port OC-48c/STM-16 POS/RPR SPA • Cisco 8-Port OC-12c/STM-4 POS SPA To configure Frame Relay encapsulation on POS interfaces, use the encapsulation frame-relay command. Frame Relay interfaces support two types of encapsulated frames: • Cisco (this is the default) • IETF Use the encap command in PVC configuration mode to configure Cisco or IETF encapsulation on a PVC. If the encapsulation type is not configured explicitly for a PVC, then that PVC inherits the encapsulation type from the main POS interface. Note Cisco encapsulation is required on POS main interfaces that are configured for MPLS. IETF encapsulation is not supported for MPLS. Before you configure Frame Relay encapsulation on an interface, you must verify that all prior Layer 3 configuration is removed from that interface. For example, you must ensure that there is no IP address configured directly under the main interface; otherwise, any Frame Relay configuration done under the main interface will not be viable. LMI on Frame Relay Interfaces The Local Management Interface (LMI) protocol monitors the addition, deletion, and status of PVCs. LMI also verifies the integrity of the link that forms a Frame Relay UNI interface. By default, cisco LMI is enabled on all PVCs. However, you can modify the default LMI type to be ANSI or Q.933, as described in the “Modifying the Default Frame Relay Configuration on an Interface” module later in this manual. If the LMI type is cisco (the default LMI type), the maximum number of PVCs that can be supported under a single interface is related to the MTU size of the main interface. Use the following formula to calculate the maximum number of PVCs supported on a card or SPA: (MTU - 13)/8 = maximum number of PVCs Note The default setting of the mtu command for a POS interface is 4474 bytes. Therefore, the default numbers of PVCs supported on a POS interface configured with cisco LMI is 557. Configuring POS Interfaces onthe Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure a POS Interface HC-475 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Note You must configure the LMI interface type on Frame Relay interfaces; otherwise, the POS interface does not come up. For connections between Provider Edge (PE) and Customer Edge (CE) routers, the PE end must be DCE and the CE end must be DTE for LMI to come up. For more information about configuring the LMI interface type on a Frame Relay interface, see the “Configuring Frame Relay on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router” module.

Note You must skip Step 4 of the “Bringing Up a POS Interface” configuration steps when configuring an interface for Layer 2 switching. The ipv4 address command is not permissible on Frame Relay encapsulated interface. Restrictions • Only one PVC can be configured for each subinterface. • The configuration on both ends of the PVC must match for the connection to operate properly. • The ipv4 address command is not permissible on Frame Relay encapsulated interface. Any previous configuration of an IP address must be removed before you can configure an interface for Layer 2 transport mode. • Layer 2 configuration is supported on Frame Relay PVCs only. Layer 2 Port mode, where Layer 2 configuration is applied directly under the main POS interface, is not supported. SUMMARY STEPS 1. configure 2. interface pos interface-path-id.subinterface l2transport 3. pvc dlci 4. end or commit 5. Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 to bring up the subinterface and any associated PVC at the other end of the AC.Configuring POS Interfaces onthe Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure a Layer 2 Attachment Circuit HC-489 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 DETAILED STEPS What to Do Next • To configure optional subinterface parameters, see the “Configuring Optional Layer 2 Subinterface Parameters” section on page 492. Command or Action Purpose Step 1 configure Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure Enters global configuration mode. Step 2 interface pos interface-path-id.subinterface l2transport Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface pos 0/3/0/0.1 l2transport Creates a subinterface and enters POS subinterface configuration mode for that subinterface. Note The subinterface must be unique to any other subinterfaces configured under a single main interface. Step 3 pvc dlci Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# pvc 100 Creates a Frame Relay permanent virtual circuit (PVC) and enters Layer 2 transport PVC configuration mode. Replace dlci with the DLCI number used to identify the PVC. Range is from 16 to 1007. Note Only one PVC is allowed per subinterface. Step 4 end or commit Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-fr-vc)# end or RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-fr-vc)# commit Saves configuration changes. • When you issue the end command, the system prompts you to commit changes: Uncommitted changes found, commit them before exiting(yes/no/cancel)? [cancel]: – Entering yes saves configuration changes to the running configuration file, exits the configuration session, and returns the router to EXEC mode. – Entering no exits the configuration session and returns the router to EXEC mode without committing the configuration changes. – Entering cancel leaves the router in the current configuration session without exiting or committing the configuration changes. • Use the commit command to save the configuration changes to the running configuration file and remain within the configuration session. Step 5 Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 to bring up the subinterface and any associated PVC at the other end of the AC. Brings up the AC. Note The configuration on both ends of the AC must match.Configuring POS Interfaces onthe Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure a Layer 2 Attachment Circuit HC-490 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 • To configure optional PVC parameters, see the “Configuring Optional Layer 2 PVC Parameters” section on page 490. • For more information about configuring Layer 2 services on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, see the “Implementing Point to Point Layer 2 Services” module of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router L2VPN and Ethernet Services Configuration Guide. Configuring Optional Layer 2 PVC Parameters This task describes the commands you can use to modify the default configuration on a Frame Relay Layer 2 PVC. Prerequisites You must create the PVC on a Layer 2 subinterface, as described in the “Creating a Layer 2 Frame Relay Subinterface with a PVC” section on page 488.

Prerequisites Before you can modify the default PVC configuration, you must create the PVC on a Layer 2 subinterface, as described in the “Creating a Layer 2 Frame Relay Subinterface with a PVC” section on page 488. Restrictions In most cases, the MTU that is configured under the subinterface has priority over the MTU that is configured under the main interface. The exception to this rule is when the subinterface MTU is higher than main interface MTU. In such cases, the subinterface MTU displays the configured value in the CLI output, but the actual operational MTU is the value that is configured under the main interface value. To avoid confusion when troubleshooting and optimizing your Layer 2 connections, we recommend always configuring a higher MTU on main interface.

Cisco HDLC also provides a simple control protocol called Serial Line Address Resolution Protocol (SLARP) to maintain serial link keepalives. HDLC is the default encapsulation type for serial interfaces under Cisco IOS XR software. Cisco HDLC is the default for data encapsulation at Layer 2 (data link) of the Open System Interconnection (OSI) stack for efficient packet delineation and error control. Note Cisco HDLC is the default encapsulation type for the serial interfaces. Cisco HDLC uses keepalives to monitor the link state, as described in the “Keepalive Timer” section on page 508. Note Use the debug chdlc slarp packet command to display information about the Serial Line Address Resolution Protocol (SLARP) packets that are sent to the peer after the keepalive timer has been configured. PPP Encapsulation PPP is a standard protocol used to send data over synchronous serial links. PPP also provides a Link Control Protocol (LCP) for negotiating properties of the link. LCP uses echo requests and responses to monitor the continuing availability of the link. Note When an interface is configured with PPP encapsulation, a link is declared down, and full LCP negotiation is re-initiated after five ECHOREQ packets are sent without receiving an ECHOREP response. PPP provides the following Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for negotiating properties of data protocols that will run on the link: Table 20 Overview: Configuring a Serial Interface on a T3 Channel Step Task Module Section 1.

PPP supports the following authentication protocols, which require a remote device to prove its identity before allowing data traffic to flow over a connection: • Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)—CHAP authentication sends a challenge message to the remote device. The remote device encrypts the challenge value with a shared secret and returns the encrypted value and its name to the local router in a response message. The local router attempts to match the name of the remote device with an associated secret stored in the local username or remote security server database; it uses the stored secret to encrypt the original challenge and verify that the encrypted values match. • Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP)—MS-CHAP is the Microsoft version of CHAP. Like the standard version of CHAP, MS-CHAP is used for PPP authentication; in this case, authentication occurs between a personal computer using Microsoft Windows NT or Microsoft Windows 95 and a Cisco router or access server acting as a network access server. • Password Authentication Protocol (PAP)—PAP authentication requires the remote device to send a name and a password, which are checked against a matching entry in the local username database or in the remote security server database. Note For more information on enabling and configuring PPP authentication protocols, see the “Configuring PPP on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router” module in this manual. Use the ppp authentication command in interface configuration mode to enable CHAP, MS-CHAP, and PAP on a serial interface. Note Enabling or disabling PPP authentication does not effect the local router’s willingness to authenticate itself to the remote device. Multilink PPP Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol (MLPPP) is supported on the following SPAs: • 1-Port Channelized OC-12/DS0 SPAs and line cards • 2-Port and 4-Port Channelized T3 SPAs • 8-Port Channelized T1/E1 SPA • 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA • 2-Port Channelized OC-12/DS0 SPA MLPPP provides a method for combining multiple physical links into one logical link. The implementation of MLPPP combines multiple PPP serial interfaces into one multilink interface. MLPPP performs the fragmenting, reassembling, and sequencing of datagrams across multiple PPP links. Configuring Serial Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Serial Interfaces 508 Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 MLPPP provides the same features that are supported on PPP Serial interfaces with the exception of QoS. It also provides the following additional features: • Fragment sizes of 128, 256, and 512 bytes • Long sequence numbers (24-bit) • Lost fragment detection timeout period of 80 ms • Minimum-active-links configuration option • LCP echo request/reply support over multilink interface • Full T1 and E1 framed and unframed links For more information about configuring MLPPP on a serial interface, see the “Configuring PPP on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router” module in this document. Keepalive Timer Cisco keepalives are useful for monitoring the link state. Periodic keepalives are sent to and received from the peer at a frequency determined by the value of the keepalive timer. If an acceptable keepalive response is not received from the peer, the link makes the transition to the down state. As soon as an acceptable keepalive response is obtained from the peer or if keepalives are disabled, the link makes the transition to the up state. Note The keepalive command applies to serial interfaces using HDLC or PPP encapsulation. It does not apply to serial interfaces using Frame Relay encapsulation. For each encapsulation type, a certain number of keepalives ignored by a peer triggers the serial interface to transition to the down state. For HDLC encapsulation, three ignored keepalives causes the interface to be brought down. For PPP encapsulation, five ignored keepalives causes the interface to be brought down. ECHOREQ packets are sent out only when LCP negotiation is complete (for example, when LCP is open). Use the keepalive command in interface configuration mode to set the frequency at which LCP sends ECHOREQ packets to its peer. To restore the system to the default keepalive interval of 10 seconds, use the keepalive command with no argument. To disable keepalives, use the keepalive disable command. For both PPP and Cisco HDLC, a keepalive of 0 disables keepalives and is reported in the show running-config command output as keepalive disable. Note During Minimal Disruptive Restart (MDR) keepalives may fail. Therefore the keepalive timers, on both ends, should be either disabled or set to an interval longer than the MDR time. Note Before performing a Minimal Disruptive Restart (MDR) upgrade, we recommend disabling keepalives on a Cisco XR 12000 Series Router. Note Before performing a Minimal Disruptive Restart (MDR) upgrade, we recommend configuring a keepalive interval of 10 seconds or more on a Cisco CRS-1 Router.Configuring Serial Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Serial Interfaces 509 Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 When LCP is running on the peer and receives an ECHOREQ packet, it responds with an echo reply (ECHOREP) packet, regardless of whether keepalives are enabled on the peer. Keepalives are independent between the two peers. One peer end can have keepalives enabled; the other end can have them disabled. Even if keepalives are disabled locally, LCP still responds with ECHOREP packets to the ECHOREQ packets it receives. Similarly, LCP also works if the period of keepalives at each end is different. Note Use the debug chdlc slarp packet command and other Cisco HDLC debug commands to display information about the Serial Line Address Resolution Protocol (SLARP) packets that are sent to the peer after the keepalive timer has been configured. Frame Relay Encapsulation When Frame Relay encapsulation is enabled on a serial interface, the interface configuration is hierarchical and comprises the following elements: 1. The serial main interface comprises the physical interface and port. If you are not using the serial interface to support Cisco HDLC and PPP encapsulated connections, then you must configure subinterfaces with permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) under the serial main interface. Frame Relay connections are supported on PVCs only. 2. Serial subinterfaces are configured under the serial main interface. A serial subinterface does not actively carry traffic until you configure a PVC under the serial subinterface. Layer 3 configuration typically takes place on the subinterface. 3. Point-to-point PVCs are configured under a serial subinterface. You cannot configure a PVC directly under a main interface. A single point-to-point PVC is allowed per subinterface. PVCs use a predefined circuit path and fail if the path is interrupted. PVCs remain active until the circuit is removed from either configuration. Connections on the serial PVC support Frame Relay encapsulation only. Note The administrative state of a parent interface drives the state of the subinterface and its PVC. When the administrative state of a parent interface or subinterface changes, so does the administrative state of any child PVC configured under that parent interface or subinterface. To configure Frame Relay encapsulation on serial interfaces, use the encapsulation frame-relay command. Frame Relay interfaces support two types of encapsulated frames: • Cisco (default) • IETF Use the encap command in PVC configuration mode to configure Cisco or IETF encapsulation on a PVC. If the encapsulation type is not configured explicitly for a PVC, then that PVC inherits the encapsulation type from the main serial interface. Note Cisco encapsulation is required on serial main interfaces that are configured for MPLS. IETF encapsulation is not supported for MPLS.Configuring Serial Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Serial Interfaces 510 Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Before you configure Frame Relay encapsulation on an interface, you must verify that all prior Layer 3 configuration is removed from that interface. For example, you must ensure that there is no IP address configured directly under the main interface; otherwise, any Frame Relay configuration done under the main interface will not be viable. LMI on Frame Relay Interfaces The Local Management Interface (LMI) protocol monitors the addition, deletion, and status of PVCs. LMI also verifies the integrity of the link that forms a Frame Relay UNI interface. By default, cisco LMI is enabled on all PVCs. However, you can modify the default LMI type to be ANSI or Q.933, as described in the “Modifying the Default Frame Relay Configuration on an Interface” section of the “Configuring Frame Relay on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router” module in this manual. If the LMI type is cisco (the default LMI type), the maximum number of PVCs that can be supported under a single interface is related to the MTU size of the main interface. Use the following formula to calculate the maximum number of PVCs supported on a card or SPA: (MTU - 13)/8 = maximum number of PVCs Note The default setting of the mtu command for a serial interface is 1504 bytes. Therefore, the default numbers of PVCs supported on a serial interface configured with cisco LMI is 186. Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol Version 3-Based Layer 2 VPN on Frame Relay The Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol Version 3 (L2TPv3) feature defines the L2TP protocol for tunneling Layer 2 payloads over an IP core network using Layer 2 virtual private networks (VPNs). L2TPv3 is a tunneling protocol used for transporting Layer 2 protocols. It can operate in a number of different configurations and tunnel a number of different Layer 2 protocols and connections over a packet-switched network. Before you can configure L2TPv3, you need to configure a connection between the two attachment circuits (ACs) that will host the L2TPv3 psuedowire. Cisco IOS XR software supports a point-to-point, end-to-end service, where two ACs are connected together. This module describes how to configure a Layer 2 AC on a Frame Relay encapsulated serial interface. Note Serial interfaces support DLCI mode layer 2 ACs only; layer 2 port mode ACs are not supported on serial interfaces. For detailed information about configuring L2TPv3 in your network, see the “Implementing Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol Version 3” module of the Cisco IOS XR Virtual Private Network Configuration Guide for the Cisco CRS Router. For detailed information about configuring L2VPNs, see the “Implementing MPLS Layer 2 VPNs” module of the Cisco IOS XR Virtual Private Network Configuration Guide for the Cisco CRS Router. For detailed information about configuring L2TPv3 in your network, see the “Implementing Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol Version 3 on Cisco IOS XR Software” module of the Cisco IOS XR Virtual Private Network Configuration Guide for the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router. For detailed information about configuring L2VPNs, see the “Implementing MPLS Layer 2 VPNs on Cisco IOS XR Software” module of the Cisco IOS XR Virtual Private Network Configuration Guide for the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.Configuring Serial Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Serial Interfaces 511 Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Default Settings for Serial Interface Configurations When an interface is enabled on a T3/E3 SPA, and no additional configuration commands are applied, the default interface settings shown in Table 21 are present. These default settings can be changed by configuration. Note Default settings do not appear in the output of the show running-config command. Serial Interface Naming Notation The naming notation for serial interfaces on a clear channel SPA is rack/slot/module/port, as shown in the following example: interface serial 0/0/1/2 The naming notation for T1, E1, and DS0 interfaces on a channelized SPA is rack/slot/module/port/channel-num:channel-group-number, as shown in the following example: interface serial 0/0/1/2/4:3 Table 21 Serial Interface Default Settings Parameter Configuration File Entry Default Settings Keepalive Note The keepalive command applies to serial interfaces using HDLC or PPP encapsulation.

In this case, the naming notation is rack/slot/module/port[/channel-num:channel-group-number].subinterface, as shown in the following examples: interface serial 0/0/1/2.1 interface serial 0/0/1/2/4:3.1 Note A slash between values is required as part of the notation. The naming notation syntax for serial interfaces is as follows: • rack: Chassis number of the rack. • slot: Physical slot number of the modular services card or line card. • module: Module number. Shared port adapters (SPAs) are referenced by their subslot number. • port: Physical port number of the controller. • channel-num: T1 or E1 channel number. T1 channels range from 0 to 23; E1 channels range from 0 to 31. • channel-group-number: Time slot number. T1 time slots range from 1 to 24; E1 time slots range from 1 to 31. The channel-group-number is preceded by a colon and not a slash. • subinterface: Subinterface number. Use the question mark (?) online help function following the serial keyword to view a list of all valid interface choices. IPHC Overview IP header compression (IPHC) is based on the premise that most of the headers in the packets of a particular transmission remain constant throughout the flow. Only a few fields in the headers of related packets change during a flow. IPHC compresses these headers so that the compressed header contains only the fields that change from packet to packet. All fields that remain the same from packet to packet are eliminated in the compressed headers. Full headers are sent between compressed headers. Full headers are uncompressed headers that contain all the original header fields along with additional information (context ID) to identify the flow. The interval at which full headers are sent between compressed packets is configurable using the refresh max-period and refresh max-time commands. IPHC contexts are used by the compressor (sender) and decompressor (receiver) of compressed packets to encode and decode the packets in a flow. A context is stored on the compressor and decompressor and is used in the delta calculation at both ends. The number of contexts allowed on a particular interface is configurable. The maximum size of the header that can be compressed is also configurable. IPHC supports the compression and decompression of RTP and UDP traffic and the decompression of CN on TCP and CTCP traffic. Users may choose one of the following types of compression formats: • Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard format. Uses RFC2507 and RFC2508 compression schemes. • IPHC format. Provides options similar to IETF.Configuring Serial Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring Serial Interfaces 513 Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Table 22 shows the IPHC features, the values of the features, and their defaults: Currently, only IPv4 unicast packets with UDP in the protocol field of the IP header are compressed. IPHC is configured on an interface as follows: • Configure the IPHC slot level command • Create an IPHC profile • Configure IPHC attributes in the profile • Attach the profile to an interface IPHC profiles must contain the rtp command to enable Real Time Protocol (RTP) on the interface, or the profile is not enabled. The refresh rtp command must be used to enable the configured refresh settings for RTP packets. By default, refresh RTP is disabled and only the first packet in the flow is sent as a ‘full-header’ packet. If some attributes, such as feedback messages, maximum refresh period size, maximum refresh time period, and maximum header size, are not configured in the profile, the default values for those attributes apply when the profile is enabled on the interface. Currently, IPHC is supported only on serial interfaces with PPP encapsulation and on multilink with PPP encapsulation interfaces. IPHC is typically configured between the Customer Edge (CE) and Provide Edge (PE) ends of an interface and must be configured at both ends of the interface to work. The PPP protocol negotiates the IPHC specific parameters between the two ends of the interface and settles on the lowest value configured between the two ends. QoS and IPHC An IPHC profile can be enabled on an interface so that the IPHC profile applies only to packets that match a Quality of Service (QoS) service policy. In this case, the QoS service-policy class attributes determine which packets are compressed. This allows users to fine tune IPHC with greater granularity. Policy maps are attached to an interface using the service-policy command. IPHC action applies only to output service policies. IPHC is not supported on input service policies.

The command reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance. Before configuring Frame Relay, be sure that the following conditions are met: • Your hardware must support POS or serial interfaces. • You have enabled Frame Relay encapsulation on your interface with the encapsulation frame relay command, as described in the appropriate module: – To enable Frame Relay encapsulation on a multilink bundle interface, see the “Configuring Multilink Frame Relay Bundle Interfaces” section on page 562. – To enable Frame Relay encapsulation on a POS interface, see the “Configuring POS Interfaces onthe Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router” module in this manual. – To enable Frame Relay encapsulation on a serial interface, see the Configuring Serial Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router module in this manual. Information About Frame Relay Interfaces The following sections explain the various aspects of configuring Frame Relay interfaces: • Frame Relay Encapsulation, page 550 • Multilink Frame Relay (FRF.16), page 553 • End-to-End Fragmentation (FRF.12), page 557 Frame Relay Encapsulation On the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, Frame Relay is supported on POS and serial main interfaces, and on PVCs that are configured under those interfaces. To enable Frame Relay encapsulation on an interface, use the encapsulation frame-relay command in interface configuration mode. Frame Relay interfaces support two types of encapsulated frames: • Cisco (this is the default) • IETF Use the encapsulation frame-relay command in interface configuration mode to configure Cisco or IETF encapsulation on a PVC. Configuring Frame Relay on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Frame Relay Interfaces HC-551 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Note If the encapsulation type is not configured explicitly for a PVC with the encapsulation command, then that PVC inherits the encapsulation type from the main interface. The encapsulation frame relay and encap (PVC) commands are described in the following modules: – To enable Frame Relay encapsulation on a POS interface, see the “Configuring POS Interfaces onthe Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router” module in this manual. – To enable Frame Relay encapsulation on a serial interface, see the Configuring Serial Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router module in this manual. When an interface is configured with Frame Relay encapsulation and no additional configuration commands are applied, the default interface settings shown in Table 23 are present. These default settings can be changed by configuration as described in this module. Note The default settings of LMI polling-related commands appear in Table 24 on page 552 and Table 25 on page 553. LMI The Local Management Interface (LMI) protocol monitors the addition, deletion, and status of PVCs. LMI also verifies the integrity of the link that forms a Frame Relay User-Network Interface (UNI). Table 23 Frame Relay Encapsulation Default Settings Parameter Configuration File Entry Default Settings Command Mode PVC Encapsulation encap {cisco | ietf} cisco Note When the encap command is not configured, the PVC encapsulation type is inherited from the Frame Relay main interface. PVC configuration Type of support provided by the interface frame-relay intf-type {dce | dte} dte Interface configuration LMI type supported on the interface frame-relay lmi-type [ansi | cisco | q933a] For a DCE, the default setting is cisco. For a DTE, the default setting is synchronized to match the LMI type supported on the DCE. Note To return an interface to its default LMI type, use the no frame-relay lmi-type [ansi | cisco | q933a] command. Interface configuration Disable or enable LMI frame-relay lmi disable LMI is enabled by default on Frame Relay interfaces. To reenable LMI on an interface after it has been disabled, use the no frame-relay lmi disable command. Interface configurationConfiguring Frame Relay on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Frame Relay Interfaces HC-552 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Frame Relay interfaces supports the following types of LMI on UNI interfaces: • ANSI—ANSI T1.617 Annex D • Q.933—ITU-T Q.933 Annex A • Cisco Use the frame-relay lmi-type command to configure the LMI type to be used on an interface. Note The LMI type that you use must correspond to the PVCs configured on the main interface. The LMI type must match on both ends of a Frame Relay connection. If your router functions as a switch connected to another non-Frame Relay router, use the frame-relay intf-type dce command to configure the LMI type to support data communication equipment (DCE). If your router is connected to a Frame Relay network, use the frame-relay intf-type dte command to configure the LMI type to support data terminal equipment (DTE). Note LMI type auto-sensing is supported on DTE interfaces by default. Use the show frame-relay lmi and show frame-relay lmi-info commands in EXEC mode to display information and statistics for the Frame Relay interfaces in your system. (When specifying the type and interface-path-id arguments, you must specify information for the main interface.) You can modify the error threshold, event count, and polling verification timer and then use the show frame-relay lmi command to gather information that can help you monitor and troubleshoot Frame Relay interfaces. If the LMI type is cisco (the default LMI type), the maximum number of PVCs that can be supported under a single interface is related to the MTU size of the main interface. Use the following formula to calculate the maximum number of PVCs supported on a card or SPA : (MTU - 13)/8 = maximum number of PVCs The default number of PVCs supported on POS PVCs configured with cisco LMI is 557, while the default number of PVCs supported on serial PVCs configured with cisco LMI is 186. For LMI types that are not from Cisco, up to 992 PVCs are supported under a single main interface. Note If a specific LMI type is configured on an interface, use the no frame-relay lmi-type [ansi | cisco | q933a] command to bring the interface back to the default LMI type. Table 24 describes the commands that can be used to modify LMI polling options on PVCs configured for a DCE. Table 24 LMI Polling Configuration Commands for DCE Parameter Configuration File Entry Default Settings Sets the error threshold on a DCE interface. lmi-n392dce threshold 3 Sets the monitored event count. lmi-n393dce events 4 Sets the polling verification timer on the DCE end. lmi-t392dce seconds 15Configuring Frame Relay on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Frame Relay Interfaces HC-553 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Table 25 describes the commands that can be used to modify LMI polling options on PVCs configured for a DTE. Multilink Frame Relay (FRF.16) Multilink Frame Relay (MFR) is supported only on the following shared port adapters (SPAs): • Cisco 1-Port Channelized STM-1/OC-3 SPA • Cisco 2-Port Channelized OC-12c/DSO SPA Multilink Frame Relay High Availability MFR supports the following levels of high availability support: • MFR supports a process restart, but some statistics will be reset during a restart of certain processes. • MFR member links remain operational during a route switch processor (RSP) switchover. Multilink Frame Relay Configuration Overview A multilink Frame Relay interface is part of a multilink bundle that allows Frame Relay encapsulation on its interfaces. You create a multilink Frame Relay interface by configuring the following components: • MgmtMultilink controller • Multilink bundle interface that allows Frame Relay encapsulation • Bundle identifier name • Multilink Frame Relay subinterfaces • Bundle interface bandwidth class • Serial interfaces MgmtMultilink Controller You configure a multilink bundle under a controller, using the following commands: controller MgmtMultilink rack/slot/bay/controller-id bundle bundleId Table 25 LMI Polling Configuration Commands for DTE Parameter Configuration File Entry Default Settings Set the number of Line Integrity Verification (LIV) exchanges performed before requesting a full status message. lmi-n391dte polling-cycles 6 Sets the error threshold. lmi-n392dte threshold 3 Sets the monitored event count. lmi-n393dte events 4 Sets the polling interval (in seconds) between each status inquiry from the DTE end. frame-relay lmi-t391dte seconds 10Configuring Frame Relay on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Frame Relay Interfaces HC-554 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 This configuration creates the controller for a generic multilink bundle. The controller ID number is the zero-based index of the controller chip. Currently, the SPAs that support multilink Frame Relay have only one controller per bay; therefore, the controller ID number is always zero (0). Multilink Bundle Interface After you create the multilink bundle, you create a multilink bundle interface that allows Frame Relay encapsulation, using the following commands: interface multilink interface-path-id encapsulation frame-relay This configuration allows you to create multilink Frame Relay subinterfaces under the multilink bundle interface. Note After you set the encapsulation on a multilink bundle interface to Frame Relay, you cannot change the encapsulation if the interface has member links or any member links associated with a multilink bundle. Bundle Identifier Name Note Bundle identifier name is configurable only under Frame Relay Forum 16.1 (FRF 16.1). The bundle identifier (bid) name value identifies the bundle interface at both endpoints of the interface. The bundle identifier name is exchanged in the information elements to ensure consistent link assignments. By default, the interface name, for example, Multilink 0/4/1/0/1, is used as the bundle identifier name. However, you can optionally create a name using the frame-relay multilink bid command. Note Regardless of whether you use the default name or create a name using the frame-relay multilink bid command, it is recommended that each bundle have a unique name. The bundle identifier name can be up to 50 characters including the null termination character. The bundle identifier name is configured at the bundle interface level and is applied to each member link. You configure the bundle identifier name using the following commands: interface multilink interface-path-id frame-relay multilink bid bundle-id-name Multilink Frame Relay Subinterfaces You configure a multilink Frame Relay subinterface, using the following command: interface multilink interface-path-id[.subinterface {l2transport | point-to-point}] You can configure up to 992 subinterfaces on a multilink bundle interface. Note You configure specific Frame Relay interface features at the subinterface level.Configuring Frame Relay on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Frame Relay Interfaces HC-555 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Multilink Frame-Relay Subinterface Features The following commands are available to set specific features on a multilink Frame Relay bundle subinterface: • mtu MTU size • description • shutdown • bandwidth bandwidth • service-policy {input | output} policymap-name Note When entering the service-policy command, which enables you to attach a policy map to a multilink Frame Relay bundle subinterface, you must do so while in Frame Relay PVC configuration mode. For more information, see Configuring Multilink Frame Relay Bundle Interfaces, page 562. Bundle Interface Bandwidth Class Note Bandwidth class is configurable only under a multilink bundle interface. You can configure one of three types of bandwidth classes on a multilink Frame Relay interface: • a—Bandwidth Class A • b—Bandwidth Class B • c—Bandwidth Class C When Bandwidth Class A is configured and one or more member links are up (PH_ACTIVE), the bundle interface is also up and BL_ACTIVATE is signaled to the Frame Relay connections. When all the member links are down, the bundle interface is down and BL_DEACTIVATE is signaled to the Frame Relay connections. When Bandwidth Class B is configured and all the member links are up (PH_ACTIVE), the bundle interface is up and BL_ACTIVATE is signaled to the Frame Relay connections. When any member link is down, the bundle interface is down and BL_ACTIVATE is signaled to the Frame Relay connections. When Bandwidth Class C is configured, you must also set the bundle link threshold to a value between 1 and 255. The threshold value is the minimum number of links that must be up (PH_ACTIVE) for the bundle interface to be up and for BL_ACTIVATE to be signaled to the Frame Relay connections. When the number of links that are up falls below this threshold, the bundle interface goes down and BL_DEACTIVATE is signaled to the Frame Relay connections. When 1 is entered as the threshold value, the behavior is identical to Bandwidth Class A. If you enter a threshold value that is greater than the number of member links that are up, the bundle remains down. You configure the bandwidth class for a Frame Relay multilink bundle interface using the following commands: interface multilink interface-path-id frame-relay multilink bandwidth-class {a | b | c [threshold]} The default is a (Bandwidth Class A).Configuring Frame Relay on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Frame Relay Interfaces HC-556 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Serial Interfaces After the T3 and T1 controllers are configured, you can add serial interfaces to the multilink Frame Relay bundle subinterface by configuring the serial interface, encapsulating it as multilink Frame Relay (mfr), assigning it to the bundle interface (specified by the multilink group number), and configuring a name for the link. You may also configure MFR acknowledge timeout value, retry count for retransmissions and hello interval, for the bundle link. You configure a multilink Frame Relay serial interface using the following commands: interface serial rack/slot/module/port/t1-num:channel-group-number encapsulation mfr multilink group group number frame-relay multilink lid link-id name frame-relay multilink ack ack-timeout frame-relay multilink hello hello-interval frame-relay multilink retry retry-count Note All serial links in an MFR bundle inherit the value of the mtu command from the multilink interface. Therefore, you should not configure the mtu command on a serial interface before configuring it as a member of an MFR bundle. The Cisco IOS XR software blocks attempts to configure a serial interface as a member of an MFR bundle if the interface is configured with a nondefault MTU value as well as attempts to change the mtu command value for a serial interface that is configured as a member of an MFR bundle. Show Commands You can verify a multilink Frame Relay serial interface configuration using the following show commands: show frame-relay multilink location node id show frame-relay multilink interface serial interface-path-id [detail | verbose] The following example shows the display output of the show frame-relay multilink location command: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# show frame-relay multilink location 0/4/cpu0 Member interface: Serial0/4/2/0/9:0, ifhandle 0x05007b00 HW state = Up, link state = Up Member of bundle interface Multilink0/4/2/0/2 with ifhandle 0x05007800 Bundle interface: Multilink0/4/2/0/2, ifhandle 0x05007800 Member Links: 4 active, 0 inactive State = Up, BW Class = C (threshold 3) Member Links: Serial0/4/2/0/12:0, HW state = Up, link state = Up Serial0/4/2/0/11:0, HW state = Up, link state = Up Serial0/4/2/0/10:0, HW state = Up, link state = Up Serial0/4/2/0/9:0, HW state = Up, link state = Up Member interface: Serial0/4/2/0/10:0, ifhandle 0x05007c00 HW state = Up, link state = Up Member of bundle interface Multilink0/4/2/0/2 with ifhandle 0x05007800 Member interface: Serial0/4/2/0/11:0, ifhandle 0x05007d00 HW state = Up, link state = Up Member of bundle interface Multilink0/4/2/0/2 with ifhandle 0x05007800 Configuring Frame Relay on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Configuring Frame Relay HC-557 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Member interface: Serial0/4/2/0/12:0, ifhandle 0x05007e00 HW state = Up, link state = Up Member of bundle interface Multilink0/4/2/0/2 with ifhandle 0x05007800 The following example shows the display output of RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# show frame-relay multilink interface serial 0/4/2/0/10:0 Member interface: Serial0/4/2/0/10:0, ifhandle 0x05007c00 HW state = Up, link state = Up Member of bundle interface Multilink0/4/2/0/2 with ifhandle 0x05007800 End-to-End Fragmentation (FRF.12) You can configure an FRF.12 end-to-end fragmentation connection using the data-link connection identifier (DLCI). However, it must be done on a channelized Frame Relay serial interface. Note The fragment end-to-end command is not allowed on Packet-over-SONET/SDH (POS) interfaces or under the DLCI of a multilink Frame Relay bundle interface. You configure FRF.12 end-to-end fragmentation on a DLCI connection using the following command: fragment end-to-end fragment-size The fragment-size argument defines the size of the fragments, in bytes, for the serial interface. Note On a DLCI connection, we highly recommend that you configure an egress service policy that classifies packets into high and low priorities, so that interleaving of high-priority and low-priority fragments occurs. Configuring Frame Relay The following sections describe how to configure Frame Relay interfaces. • Modifying the Default Frame Relay Configuration on an Interface, page 557 • Disabling LMI on an Interface with Frame Relay Encapsulation, page 560 • Configuring Multilink Frame Relay Bundle Interfaces, page 562 • Configuring FRF.12 End-to-End Fragmentation on a Channelized Frame Relay Serial Interface, page 568 Modifying the Default Frame Relay Configuration on an Interface Perform this task to modify the default Frame Relay parameters on a Packet-over-SONET/SDH (POS), multilink, or serial interface with Frame Relay encapsulation. Prerequisites Before you can modify the default Frame Relay configuration, you need to enable Frame Relay on the interface, as described in the following modules:Configuring Frame Relay on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Configuring Frame Relay HC-558 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 • To enable Frame Relay encapsulation on a POS interface, see the “Configuring POS Interfaces onthe Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router” module in this manual. • To enable Frame Relay encapsulation on a serial interface, see the Configuring Serial Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router module in this manual. Note Before enabling Frame Relay encapsulation on a POS or serial interface, make certain that you have not previously assigned an IP address to the interface. If an IP address is assigned to the interface, you will not be able to enable Frame Relay encapsulation. For Frame Relay, the IP address and subnet mask are configured on the subinterface. Restrictions • The LMI type must match on both ends of the connection for the connection to be active. • Before you can remove Frame Relay encapsulation on an interface and reconfigure that interface with PPP or HDLC encapsulation, you must remove all interfaces, subinterface, LMI, and Frame Relay configuration from that interface.

Prerequisites Before configuring MFR bundles, be sure you have the following SPA installed: • 1-Port Channelized STM-1/OC-3 SPA • 2-Port Channelized OC-12c/DS0 SPA Restrictions • All member links in a multilink Frame Relay bundle interface must be of the same type (for example, T1s or E1s). The member links must have the same framing type, such as point-to-point, and they must have the same bandwidth class. • All member links must be full T1s or E1s. Fractional links, such as DS0s, are not supported. • All member links must reside on the same SPA; otherwise, they are considered to be unrelated bundles. • All member links must be connected to the same line card or SPA at the far end. • A maximum of 992 MFR subinterfaces is supported on each main interface, based on the supported DLCI range 16–1007. • The Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA and 2-Port Channelized OC-12c/DS0 SPA have the following additional guidelines: – A maximum of 700 MFR bundles per line card is supported. – A maximum of 2600 MFR bundles per system is supported. – A maximum of 4000 Frame Relay Layer 3 subinterfaces per line card is supported. – A maximum of 8000 Frame Relay Layer 3 subinterfaces per system is supported. • Fragmentation on a Frame Relay subinterface that is part of an MLFR bundle is not supported. • All serial links in an MFR bundle inherit the value of the mtu command from the multilink interface. Therefore, you should not configure the mtu command on a serial interface before configuring it as a member of an MFR bundle. The Cisco IOS XR software blocks the following: – Attempts to configure a serial interface as a member of an MFR bundle if the interface is configured with a nondefault MTU value. – Attempts to change the mtu command value for a serial interface that is configured as a member of an MFR bundle.

Step 2 controller MgmtMultilink rack/slot/bay/controller-id Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# controller MgmtMultilink 0/1/0/0 Creates the controller for a generic multilink bundle in the rack/slot/bay/controller-id notation and enters the multilink management configuration mode. The controller ID number is the zero-based index of the controller chip. Currently, the SPAs that support multilink Frame Relay have only one controller per bay; therefore, the controller ID number is always zero (0). Step 3 exit Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-mgmtmultilink)# exit Exits the multilink management configuration mode. Step 4 controller t3 interface-path-id Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# controller t3 0/1/0/0 Specifies the T3 controller name in the rack/slot/module/port notation and enters T3 configuration mode.

The command reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance. Before you can configure PPP authentication on a POS or serial interface, be sure that the following tasks and conditions are met: • Your hardware must support POS or serial interfaces. • You have enabled PPP encapsulation on your interface with the encap ppp command, as described in the appropriate module: – To enable PPP encapsulation on a POS interface, see the Configuring POS Interfaces onthe Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router module in this manual. – To enable PPP encapsulation on a serial interface, see the Configuring Serial Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router module in this manual. Release 4.0.1 Support for PPP was added for the following SPAs on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router: • Cisco 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 SPA (also supports MLPPP) • Cisco 2-Port and 4-Port Clear Channel T3/E3 SPA • Cisco 4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 SPA • Cisco 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 SPA Release 4.1.0 Support for the Noise Attribute was added for PPP to remove links on MLPPP bundles when Link Noise Monitoring (LNM) thresholds are crossed on a link. Support for PPP, including MLPPP support on T1/E1 channels, was introduced on the following SPAs: • Cisco 4-Port Channelized T3 SPA • Cisco 8-Port Channelized T1/E1 SPAConfiguring PPP on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About PPP HC-581 Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Information About PPP To configure PPP and related features, you should understand the information in this section: • PPP Authentication, page 581 • Multilink PPP, page 582 • ICSSO for PPP and MLPPP, page 584 • Multiclass MLPPP with QoS, page 586 • T3 SONET Channels, page 587 PPP Authentication When PPP authentication is configured on an interface, a host requires that the other host uniquely identify itself with a secure password before establishing a PPP connection. The password is unique and is known to both hosts. PPP supports the following authentication protocols: • Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) • Microsoft extension to the CHAP protocol (MS-CHAP) • Password Authentication Protocol (PAP). When you first enable PPP on a POS or serial interface, no authentication is enabled on the interface until you configure a CHAP, MS-CHAP, or PAP secret password under that interface. Keep the following information in mind when configuring PPP on an interface: • CHAP, MS-CHAP, and PAP can be configured on a single interface; however, only one authentication method is used at any one time. The order in which the authentication protocols are used is determined by the peer during the LCP negotiations. The first authentication method used is the one that is also supported by the peer. • PAP is the least secure authentication protocol available on POS and serial interfaces. To ensure higher security for information that is sent over POS and serial interfaces, we recommend configuring CHAP or MS-CHAP authentication in addition to PAP authentication. • Enabling or disabling PPP authentication does not effect the local router’s willingness to authenticate itself to the remote device. • The ppp authentication command is also used to specify the order in which CHAP, MS-CHAP, and PAP authentication is selected on the interface. You can enable CHAP, MS-CHAP, or PAP in any order. If you enable all three methods, the first method specified is requested during link negotiation. If the peer suggests using the second method, or refuses the first method, the second method is tried. Some remote devices support only one method. Base the order in which you specify methods on the remote device’s ability to correctly negotiate the appropriate method and on the level of data line security you require. PAP usernames and passwords are sent as clear text strings, which can be intercepted and reused. Caution If you use a list-name value that was not configured with the aaa authentication ppp command, your interface cannot authenticate the peer. For details on implementing the aaa authentication command with the ppp keyword, see the Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting Commands on Cisco IOS XR Software module of Cisco IOS XR System Security Command Reference and Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.Configuring PPP on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About PPP HC-582 Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 PAP Authentication PAP provides a simple method for a remote node to establish its identity using a two-way handshake. After a PPP link is established between two hosts, a username and password pair is repeatedly sent by the remote node across the link (in clear text) until authentication is acknowledged, or until the connection is terminated. PAP is not a secure authentication protocol. Passwords are sent across the link in clear text and there is no protection from playback or trial-and-error attacks. The remote node is in control of the frequency and timing of the login attempts. CHAP Authentication CHAP is defined in RFC 1994, and it verifies the identity of the peer by means of a three-way handshake. The steps that follow provide a general overview of the CHAP process: Step 1 The CHAP authenticator sends a challenge message to the peer. Step 2 The peer responds with a value calculated through a one-way hash function. Step 3 The authenticator checks the response against its own calculation of the expected hash value. If the values match, then the authentication is successful. If the values do not match, then the connection is terminated. This authentication method depends on a CHAP password known only to the authenticator and the peer. The CHAP password is not sent over the link. Although the authentication is only one-way, you can negotiate CHAP in both directions, with the help of the same CHAP password set for mutual authentication. Note For CHAP authentication to be valid, the CHAP password must be identical on both hosts. MS-CHAP Authentication Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP) is the Microsoft version of CHAP and is an extension to RFC 1994. MS-CHAP follows the same authentication process used by CHAP. In this case, however, authentication occurs between a PC using Microsoft Windows NT or Microsoft Windows 95 and a Cisco router or access server acting as a network access server (NAS). Note For MS-CHAP authentication to be valid, the MS-CHAP password must be identical on both hosts. Multilink PPP Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol (MLPPP) provides a method for combining multiple physical links into one logical link. The implementation combines multiple PPP interfaces into one multilink interface. MLPPP performs the fragmenting, reassembling, and sequencing of datagrams across multiple PPP links.Configuring PPP on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About PPP HC-583 Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Link Fragmentation and Interleaving (LFI) is designed for MLPPP interfaces and is required when integrating voice and data on low-speed interfaces. Link Fragmentation and Interleaving (LFI) provides stability for delay-sensitive traffic, such as voice or video, traveling on the same circuit as data. Voice is susceptible to increased latency and jitter when the network processes large packets on low-speed interfaces. LFI reduces delay and jitter by fragmenting large datagrams and interleaving them with low-delay traffic packets. Figure 34 Link Fragmentation Interleave MLPPP Feature Summary MLPPP in Cisco IOS XR provides the same features that are supported on PPP Serial interfaces with the exception of QoS. It also provides the following additional features: • Long sequence numbers (24-bit). • Lost fragment detection timeout period of 1 second. • Minimum-active-links configuration option. • LCP echo request/reply support over multilink interface. • Full T1 and E1 framed and unframed links. • Support for the Cisco 2-Port Channelized OC-12c/DS0 SPA to set thresholds for noise errors on T1/E1 links that are used to signal the Noise Attribute to PPP for removal of an MLPPP bundle link. For more information about LNM, see the “Configuring Clear Channel T3/E3 Controllers and Channelized T3 Controllers on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router” module in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide. IPHC Over MLPPP The 2-Port Channelized OC-12c/DS0 SPA supports IPHC over PPP, MLPPP, and MLPPP/LFI.

Inter-Chassis Stateful Switchover (ICSSO) on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router provides features that maintain Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and Multilink PPP (MLPPP) sessions during a Multi-Router Automatic Protection Switching (MR-APS) switchover from the MR-APS Working router to the MR-APS Protect router. ICSSO allows an MR-APS switchover to occur without the need for Link Control Protocol (LCP) or IP Control Protocol (IPCP) renegotiation between the new MR-APS active router and the remote PPP/MLPPP peer devices. The primary purpose of ICSSO is to minimize subscriber session and data loss during an MR-APS switchover. ICSSO synchronizes the PPP and MLPPP state information on the active router with the state information on the backup router, and ensures that the backup router is ready to forward traffic immediately after an MR-APS switchover. ICSSO works in conjunction with the following other software components: • Multi-Router Automatic Protection Switching (MR-APS), page 584 • Session State Redundancy Protocol (SSRP), page 584 • Redundancy Group Manager (RG-MGR), page 585 • IP Fast Reroute (IP-FRR), page 585 • VPN Routing And Forwarding (VRF), page 585 • Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), page 586 Multi-Router Automatic Protection Switching (MR-APS) Multi-Router Automatic Protection Switching (MR-APS) is a Cisco feature that provides Layer 1 protection against facility and equipment failures through the configuration of a protection pair of SONET controllers located on two different routers. The redundant backup router is configured identically to the active router and is ready to forward traffic immediately upon an MR-APS switchover. The protection pair communicates using Layer 1 (k1/k2) signalling bytes from the SONET downstream connection (as per Bellcore specification GR-253-CORE) and Layer 3 signaling messages using Protect Group Protocol (PGP). MR-APS detects many of the sources of failures that indirectly trigger an IP-FRR update to use backup routes. In an MR-APS configuration, two interfaces, on different routers, are assigned the roles of Working interface or Protect interface. These roles are configured by the operator. Under normal conditions, the Working interface carries active traffic. If the Working interface fails, the Protect interface takes over the active traffic immediately with no loss of PPP traffic. Session State Redundancy Protocol (SSRP) A pair of SONET controllers configured for MR-APS are part of a Session State Redundancy Protocol (SSRP) protection group. SSRP communicates interface and system state information between the Active and Standby routers. SSRP also serves as the keepalive protocol. SSRP configuration associates a SONET controller with an inter-chassis redundancy group and enables MR-APS peer routers to synchronize PPP session states on each Active SONET controller. Configuring PPP on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About PPP HC-585 Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 PPP sessions can have one of three states: • Active–A PPP session is in the Active state when the PPP session negotiation is complete, the associated route is installed, and the associated adjacency is created. PPP sessions in the Active state replicate data to their peers on the Standby router. • Standby Up–A PPP session on the Standby router is in the Standby Up state when replicated state information is received from the Active router, the associated PPP route is installed, and the associated adjacency is created. PPP sessions in the Standby Up state are ready to forward traffic immediately after an MR-APS switchover. • Standby Down–A PPP session on the Standby router is in the Standby Down state when the associated route is not installed and the adjacency is not created. SSRP runs between the MR-APS peer routers and uses TCP/IP. One SSRP session runs on each pair of redundant SONET controllers, meaning multiple SSRP sessions can be running on a pair of MR-APS-redundant routers. Note SSRP is not a redundancy control protocol, but is a state information synchronization protocol. Redundancy Group Manager (RG-MGR) The Redundancy Group Manager (RG-MGR) configures the backup routes for the protected interface. The RG-MGR registers events on protected SONET controllers and provides the Routing Information Base (RIB) component with IP Fast Reroute (IP-FRR) updates. IP Fast Reroute (IP-FRR) Note IP-FRR, when used with IC-SSO, is only supported with PPP encapsulation. It is not supported with HDLC encapsulation. IP Fast Reroute (IP-FRR) provides extremely fast rerouting of PPP/MLPPP traffic after an MR-APS switchover. IP-FRR controls the primary and backup routes. Each route is mapped in the Routing Information Base (RIB), and IP-FRR controls which backup path is used to forward traffic after an MR-APS switchover. An MR-APS switchover triggers an IP-FRR update, which activates the backup routes on the protection SONET controller. When the working SONET controller is restored, another IP-FRR update is triggered, and traffic is rerouted to the primary route. For more information about IP-FRR, refer to the “Implementing MPLS Traffic Engineering on Cisco IOS XR Software” module in the Cisco IOS XR MPLS Configuration Guide. VPN Routing And Forwarding (VRF) ICSSO can be used with VPN routing and forwarding (VRF). Customers who wish to isolate traffic streams with different service types can do so using VRF technology. VRF allows the user to create and maintain separate routing and forwarding databases. See VRF on Multilink Configuration for Use with ICSSO: Example, page 625 and VRF on Ethernet Configuration for Use with ICSSO: Example, page 625. For more information on configuring VRF, refer to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Routing Configuration Guide.Configuring PPP on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About PPP HC-586 Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Aggregation routers that terminate PPP sessions to a set of remote peers, must advertise their availability on the network using Open Shortest Path First (OSPF). OSPF is required to advertise the availability of remote PPP peers to the ICSSO peer router. See OSPF Configuration for Use with ICSSO: Example, page 626. For more information on configuring OSPF, refer to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Routing Configuration Guide. ICSSO Configuration Overview ICSSO is configured as follows: • Configure MR-APS • Configure SSRP profile • Configure SSRP groups • Configure serial interfaces with PPP encapsulation • Configure multilink interfaces • Verify ICSSO configuration The “Configuring ICSSO for PPP and MLPPP” section on page 612 of this module provides step procedures for configuring ICSSO. The “ICSSO for PPP and MLPPP Configuration: Examples” section on page 622 gives specific examples for configuring ICSSO and related components. Multiclass MLPPP with QoS Multiclass Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol (MLPPP) can be utilized with Quality of Service (QoS) and configured using the encap-sequence command under a class in a policy map. The encap-sequence command specifies the MLPPP MCMP class ID for the packets in an MQC defined class. The valid values for the encap-sequence ID number are none, 0, 1, 2, or 3. The none value is applicable only when the priority level is 1 and indicates that there is no MLPPP encapsulation. The values 1, 2, or 3 can be used with priority 1 or 2 classes or other classes with queuing actions. An encap-sequence ID number of zero (0) is reserved for the default class and cannot be specified in any other classes. Note The encap-sequence ID numbers must be configured in numeric order. For example, you cannot assign an ID number of 3 unless you have already assigned 1 and 2. The number of encap-sequence ID numbers must be less than the number of MLPPP classes that are negotiated between the peers via the Multilink header. The user must ensure that the configuration is consistent as the system does not verify this. The ppp multilink multiclass remote apply command provides a way to ensure this. You can ensure that the number of classes using an encap-sequence ID number (including the default of 0) is less than the min-number value in the ppp multilink multiclass remote apply command. For example, if the min-number value in the ppp multilink multiclass remote apply command is 4, you can only have 3 or less classes with encap-sequence ID numbers The QoS policy validates the following conditions. If these conditions are not met, the policy is rejected:Configuring PPP on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About PPP HC-587 Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-01 • The encap-sequence ID number is within the allowed values of 1 to 3. • When encap-sequence is configured for any class in a policy map, all classes in that policy map with priority level 1 must also contain an encap-sequence ID number. • The encap-sequence none configuration is restricted to classes with priority level 1. • The class-default does not contain an encap-sequence configuration. • Only classes containing a queuing action have the encap-sequence configuration. Note Classes that share the same encap-sequence ID number must have the same priority. A QoS policy map is configured as follows: config policy-map type qos policy-name class class-name action action action . . . The following example shows how to configure a policy map for MLPPP: config policy-map foo class ip-prec-1 encap-sequence none police rate percent 10 priority level 1 ! class ip-prec-2 encap-sequence 1 shape average percent 80 ! class ip-prec-3 encap-sequence 1 bandwidth percent 10 ! class class-default ! end-policy-map !

Step 6 ppp max-terminate number Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# ppp max-terminate 5 (Optional) Configures the maximum number of terminate requests (TermReqs) to send without reply before the Link Control Protocol (LCP) or Network Control Protocol (NCP) is closed. • Replace the number argument with the maximum number of TermReqs to send without reply before closing down the LCP or NCP. Range is from 2 to 10. • The default maximum number of TermReqs is 2. Step 7 ppp timeout authentication seconds Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# ppp timeout authentication 20 (Optional) Sets PPP authentication timeout parameters. • Replace the seconds argument with the maximum time, in seconds, to wait for a response to an authentication packet. Range is from 3 to 30 seconds. • The default authentication time is 10 seconds, which should allow time for a remote router to authenticate and authorize the connection and provide a response. However, it is also possible that it will take much less time than 10 seconds. In such cases, use the ppp timeout authentication command to lower the timeout period to improve connection times in the event that an authentication response is lost. Step 8 ppp timeout retry seconds Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# ppp timeout retry 8 (Optional) Sets PPP timeout retry parameters. • Replace the seconds argument with the maximum time, in seconds, to wait for a response during PPP negotiation. Range is from 1 to 10 seconds. • The default is 3 seconds.

The IEEE 802.1Q specification establishes a standard method for tagging Ethernet frames with VLAN membership information, and defines the operation of VLAN bridges that permit the definition, operation, and administration of VLAN topologies within a bridged LAN infrastructure. The 802.1Q standard is intended to address the problem of how to divide large networks into smaller parts so broadcast and multicast traffic does not use more bandwidth than necessary. The standard also helps provide a higher level of security between segments of internal networks. Feature History for Configuring 802.1Q VLAN Interfaces Contents • Prerequisites for Configuring 802.1Q VLAN Interfaces, page 635 • Information About Configuring 802.1Q VLAN Interfaces, page 636 • How to Configure 802.1Q VLAN Interfaces, page 639 • Configuration Examples for VLAN Interfaces, page 645 • Additional References, page 647 Prerequisites for Configuring 802.1Q VLAN Interfaces You must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. The command reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance. Before configuring 802.1Q VLAN interfaces, be sure that the following conditions are met: Release Modification Release 3.7.2 This feature was introduced on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. Release 3.9.0 Layer 2 dot1q was updated. Encapsulation dot1q was added. Configuring 802.1Q VLAN Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring 802.1Q VLAN Interfaces HC-636 Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 • You must have configured a Gigabit Ethernet interface, a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, or an Ethernet bundle interface. Information About Configuring 802.1Q VLAN Interfaces To configure 802.1Q VLAN interfaces, you must understand the following concepts: • 802.1Q VLAN Overview, page 636 • 802.1Q Tagged Frames, page 636 • CFM on 802.1Q VLAN Interfaces, page 637 • Subinterfaces, page 637 • Subinterface MTU, page 637 • Native VLAN, page 637 • EFPs, page 637 • Layer 2 VPN on VLANs, page 638 • Other Layer 2 VPN Features, page 639 802.1Q VLAN Overview A VLAN is a group of devices on one or more LANs that are configured so that they can communicate as if they were attached to the same wire, when in fact they are located on a number of different LAN segments. Because VLANs are based on logical instead of physical connections, they are very flexible for user and host management, bandwidth allocation, and resource optimization. The IEEE 802.1Q protocol standard addresses the problem of dividing large networks into smaller parts so broadcast and multicast traffic does not consume more bandwidth than necessary. The standard also helps provide a higher level of security between segments of internal networks. The 802.1Q specification establishes a standard method for inserting VLAN membership information into Ethernet frames. Cisco IOS XR software supports VLAN subinterface configuration on Gigabit Ethernet and10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. 802.1Q Tagged Frames The IEEE 802.1Q tag-based VLAN uses an extra tag in the MAC header to identify the VLAN membership of a frame across bridges. This tag is used for VLAN and quality of service (QoS) priority identification. The VLANs can be created statically by manual entry or dynamically through Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP). The VLAN ID associates a frame with a specific VLAN and provides the information that switches must process the frame across the network. A tagged frame is four bytes longer than an untagged frame and contains two bytes of Tag Protocol Identifier (TPID) residing within the type and length field of the Ethernet frame and two bytes of Tag Control Information (TCI) which starts after the source address field of the Ethernet frame.Configuring 802.1Q VLAN Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring 802.1Q VLAN Interfaces HC-637 Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 CFM on 802.1Q VLAN Interfaces Configuring Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) for monitoring 802.1Q VLAN interfaces is identical to configuring CFM for monitoring Ethernet interfaces. For information on configuring CFM for Ethernet interfaces, refer to the following sections in the Configuring Ethernet OAM on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router module: • Ethernet CFM, page 56 • Configuring Ethernet CFM, page 94 • Ethernet CFM Service Configuration: Example, page 149 • Ethernet CFM Show Command: Examples, page 150 Subinterfaces Subinterfaces are logical interfaces created on a hardware interface. These software-defined interfaces allow for segregation of traffic into separate logical channels on a single hardware interface as well as allowing for better utilization of the available bandwidth on the physical interface. Subinterfaces are distinguished from one another by adding an extension on the end of the interface name and designation. For instance, the Ethernet subinterface 23 on the physical interface designated TenGigE 0/1/0/0 would be indicated by TenGigE 0/1/0/0.23. Before a subinterface is allowed to pass traffic it must have a valid tagging protocol encapsulation and VLAN identifier assigned. All Ethernet subinterfaces always default to the 802.1Q VLAN encapsulation. However, the VLAN identifier must be explicitly defined. Subinterface MTU The subinterface maximum transmission unit (MTU) is inherited from the physical interface with an additional four bytes allowed for the 802.1Q VLAN tag. Native VLAN The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router does not support a native VLAN. However, the equivalent functionality is accomplished using an encapsulation command as follows: encapsulation dot1q TAG-ID, untagged EFPs An Ethernet Flow Point (EFP) is a Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) term describing abstract router architecture. On the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, an EFP is implemented by an L2 subinterface with a VLAN encapsulation. The term EFP is used synonymously with an VLAN tagged L2 subinterface.Configuring 802.1Q VLAN Interfaces on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About Configuring 802.1Q VLAN Interfaces HC-638 Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Layer 2 VPN on VLANs The Layer 2 Virtual Private Network (L2VPN) feature enables Service Providers (SPs) to provide Layer 2 services to geographically disparate customer sites. The configuration model for configuring VLAN attachment circuits (ACs) is similar to the model used for configuring basic VLANs, where the user first creates a VLAN subinterface, and then configures that VLAN in subinterface configuration mode. To create an AC, you need to include the l2transport keyword in the interface command string to specify that the interface is a Layer 2 interface. VLAN ACs support three modes of L2VPN operation: • Basic Dot1Q AC—The AC covers all frames that are received and sent with a specific VLAN tag. • QinQ AC—The AC covers all frames received and sent with a specific outer VLAN tag and a specific inner VLAN tag. QinQ is an extension to Dot1Q that uses a stack of two tags. • Q-in-Any AC—The AC covers all frames received and sent with a specific outer VLAN tag and any inner VLAN tag, as long as that inner VLAN tag is not L3 terminated. Q-in-Any is an extension to QinQ that uses wildcarding to match any second tag. Note The Q-in-Any mode is a variation of the basic Dot1Q mode. In Q-in-Any mode, the frames have a basic QinQ encapsulation; however, in Q-in-Any mode the inner tag is not relevant, except for the fact that a few specific inner VLAN tags are siphoned for specific services. For example, a tag may be used to provide L3 services for general internet access. Each VLAN on a CE-to-PE link can be configured as a separate L2VPN connection (using either VC type 4 or VC type 5). To configure L2VPN on VLANs, see the “Configuring an Attachment Circuit on a VLAN” section on page 641. Keep the following in mind when configuring L2VPN on a VLAN: • Cisco IOS XR software supports 4k ACs per LC. • In a point-to-point connection, the two ACs do not have to be of the same type. For example, a port mode Ethernet AC can be connected to a Dot1Q Ethernet AC. • Pseudowires can run in VLAN mode or in port mode. A pseudowire running in VLAN mode has a single Dot1Q tag, while a pseudo-wire running in port mode has no tags. Some interworking is required to connect these different types of circuits together. This interworking takes the form of popping, pushing, and rewriting tags. The advantage of Layer 2 VPN is that is simplifies the interworking required to connect completely different media types together. • The ACs on either side of an MPLS pseudowire can be different types. In this case, the appropriate conversion is carried out at one or both ends of the AC to pseudowire connection. Use the show interfaces command to display AC and pseudowire information.

Note The dot1q vlan command is replaced by the encapsulation dot1q command on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. It is still available for backward-compatibility, but only for Layer 3 interfaces. Step 4 ipv4 address ip-address mask Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-subif)# ipv4 address 178.18.169.23/24 Assigns an IP address and subnet mask to the subinterface. • Replace ip-address with the primary IPv4 address for an interface. • Replace mask with the mask for the associated IP subnet. The network mask can be specified in either of two ways: – The network mask can be a four-part dotted decimal address. For example, 255.0.0.0 indicates that each bit equal to 1 means that the corresponding address bit belongs to the network address. – The network mask can be indicated as a slash (/) and number. For example, /8 indicates that the first 8 bits of the mask are ones, and the corresponding bits of the address are network address.

Bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) provides low-overhead, short-duration detection of failures in the path between adjacent forwarding engines. BFD allows a single mechanism to be used for failure detection over any media and at any protocol layer, with a wide range of detection times and overhead. The fast detection of failures provides immediate reaction to failure in the event of a failed link or neighbor. Feature History for Configuring Bidirectional Forwarding Detection on Cisco IOS XR Software Release Modification Release 3.7.2 BFD was introduced on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. Release 3.9.0 • Support for these applications with BFD was added: – Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) – Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) • The dampening command was added to minimize BFD session flapping and delay session startup. • The echo ipv4 source command was added to specify a source IP address and override the default. • The ipv6 checksum command was added to enable and disable the IPv6 UDP checksum computation and BFD interface configuration modes. Release 4.0.0 Support for these BFD features was added: • BFD for OSPFv3 • BFD for IPv6 Support for BFD was added on the following SPAs: • 1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR XFP SPA • 2-Port OC-48c/STM-16 POS/RPR SPA • 8-Port OC-12c/STM-4 POS SPA Configuring Bidirectional Forwarding Detection on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Contents HC-650 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Contents • Prerequisites for Configuring BFD, page 650 • Restrictions for Configuring BFD, page 651 • Information About BFD, page 652 • How to Configure BFD, page 663 • Configuration Examples for Configuring BFD, page 697 • Where to Go Next, page 704 • Additional References, page 704 Prerequisites for Configuring BFD You must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. The command reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance. The following prerequisites are required to implement BFD: • If enabling BFD on Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), an installed composite PIE file including the MPLS package, or a composite-package image is required. For Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS), Static, and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), an installed Cisco IOS XR IP Unicast Routing Core Bundle image is required. • Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) is activated on the router if you are using IS-IS or OSPF. • On the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, each line card supporting BFD must be able to perform the following tasks: – Send echo packets every 50ms * 3 (as a minimum under normal conditions) – Send control packets every 150ms * 3 (as a minimum under stress conditions) Release 4.0.1 Support for these BFD features was added: • Support for BFD Per Member Links on Link Bundles was added. • The echo latency detect command was added to enable latency detection for BFD echo packets on non-bundle interfaces. • The echo startup validate command was added to verify the echo path before starting a BFD session on non-bundle interfaces. Release 4.2.0 Support for these BFD features was added: • BFD Multihop Global TTL check. • BFD Multihop support for BGP and • BFD Multihop support for IPv4 traffic. • The multihop ttl-drop-threshold command was added to specify the TTL value to start dropping packets for multihop sessions. Release 4.2.1 Support for BFD Multihop feature was added on the ASR9K-SIP-700 line card.Configuring Bidirectional Forwarding Detection on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Restrictions for Configuring BFD HC-651 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 – Send and receive up to 9600 User Datagram Protocol (UDP) pps. This sustains 144 sessions at a 15-ms echo interval (or 1440 sessions at a 150-ms echo interval). • To enable BFD for a neighbor, the neighbor router must support BFD. • In Cisco IOS XR releases before Release 3.9.0, we recommended that you configure the local router ID with the router-id command in global configuration mode prior to setting up a BFD session. If you did not configure the local router ID, then by default the source address of the IP packet for BFD echo mode is the IP address of the output interface. Beginning in Cisco IOS XR release 3.9.0 and later, you can use the echo ipv4 source command to specify the IP address that you want to use as the source address. • To support BFD on bundle member links, be sure that the following requirements are met: – The routers on either end of the bundle are connected back-to-back without a Layer 2 switch in between. – For a BFD session to start, any one of the following configurations or states are present on the bundle member: Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) Distributing state is reached, –Or– EtherChannel or POS Channel is configured, –Or– Hot Standby and LACP Collecting state is reached. Restrictions for Configuring BFD These restrictions apply to BFD: • Demand mode is not supported in Cisco IOS XR software. • BFD echo mode is not supported for these applications: – BFD for IPv4 on bundled VLANs – BFD for IPv6 (global and link-local addressing) – BFD with uRPF (IPv4 or IPv6) – Rack reload and online insertion and removal (OIR) when a BFD bundle interface has member links that span multiple racks – BFD for Multihop Paths • BFD for IPv6 has these restrictions: – BFD for IPv6 is not supported on bundled VLAN interfaces – BFD for IPv6 static routes, OSPFv3, and BGP are supported by the client – BFD for IPv6 static routes that have link-local address as the next-hop is not supported • Only the static, OSPF, and IS-IS applications are supported on BFD over bundled VLANs. • BFD under BGP with IPv4 over Ethernet VLAN bundle subinterfaces is not supported. • For BFD on bundle member links, only a single BFD session for each bundle member link is created, monitored, and maintained for the IPv4 addressing type only. IPv6 and VLAN links in a bundle have the following restrictions: – IPv6 states are not explicitly monitored on a bundle member and they inherit the state of the IPv4 BFD session for that member interface. Configuring Bidirectional Forwarding Detection on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About BFD HC-652 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 – VLAN subinterfaces on a bundle member also inherit the BFD state from the IPv4 BFD session for that member interface. VLAN subinterfaces are not explicitly monitored on a bundle member. • Echo latency detection and echo validation are not supported on bundle interfaces. • BFD Multihop can be run on any non-default VRF but selective VRF download must be disabled. For more information on the configuration and commands for selective VRF download, see Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Routing Configuration Guide and Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Routing Command Reference. Information About BFD To configure BFD, you should understand these concepts: • Differences in BFD in Cisco IOS XR Software and Cisco IOS Software, page 652 • BFD Modes of Operation, page 653 • BFD Packet Information, page 653 • BFD for IPv4, page 658 • BFD for IPv6, page 660 • BFD on Bundled VLANs, page 660 • BFD Over Member Links on Link Bundles, page 660 • BFD Multipath Sessions, page 663 Differences in BFD in Cisco IOS XR Software and Cisco IOS Software If you are already familiar with BFD configuration in Cisco IOS software, be sure to consider the following differences in BFD configuration in the Cisco IOS XR software implementation: • In Cisco IOS XR software, BFD is an application that is configured under a dynamic routing protocol, such as an OSPF or BGP instance. This is not the case for BFD in Cisco IOS software, where BFD is only configured on an interface. • In Cisco IOS XR software, a BFD neighbor is established through routing. The Cisco IOS bfd neighbor interface configuration command is not supported in Cisco IOS XR software. • Instead of using a dynamic routing protocol to establish a BFD neighbor, you can establish a specific BFD peer or neighbor for BFD responses in Cisco IOS XR software using a method of static routing to define that path. In fact, you must configure a static route for BFD if you do not configure BFD under a dynamic routing protocol in Cisco IOS XR software. For more information, see the “Enabling BFD on a Static Route” section on page 671. • A router running BFD in Cisco IOS software can designate a router running BFD in Cisco IOS XR software as its peer using the bfd neighbor command; the Cisco IOS XR router must use dynamic routing or a static route back to the Cisco IOS router to establish the peer relationship. See the “BFD Peers on Routers Running Cisco IOS and Cisco IOS XR Software: Example” section on page 703.Configuring Bidirectional Forwarding Detection on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About BFD HC-653 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 BFD Modes of Operation Cisco IOS XR software supports the asynchronous mode of operation only, with or without using echo packets. Asynchronous mode without echo will engage various pieces of packet switching paths on local and remote systems. However, asynchronous mode with echo is usually known to provide slightly wider test coverage as echo packets are self-destined packets which traverse same packet switching paths as normal traffic on the remote system. BFD echo mode is enabled by default for the following interfaces: • For IPv4 on member links of BFD bundle interfaces. • For IPv4 on other physical interfaces whose minimum interval is less than two seconds. When BFD is running asynchronously without echo packets (Figure 35), the following occurs: • Each system periodically sends BFD control packets to one another. Packets sent by BFD router “Peer A” to BFD router “Peer B” have a source address from Peer A and a destination address for Peer B. • Control packet streams are independent of each other and do not work in a request/response model. • If a number of packets in a row are not received by the other system, the session is declared down. Figure 35 BFD Asynchronous Mode Without Echo Packets When BFD is running asynchronously with echo packets (Figure 36), the following occurs: • BFD echo packets are looped back through the forwarding path only of the BFD peer and are not processed by any protocol stack. So, packets sent by BFD router “Peer A” can be sent with both the source and destination address of Peer A. • BFD echo packets are sent in addition to BFD control packets. Figure 36 BFD Asynchronous Mode With Echo Packets For more information about control and echo packet intervals in asynchronous mode, see the “BFD Packet Intervals and Failure Detection” section on page 654. BFD Packet Information This section includes the following topics: • BFD Source and Destination Ports, page 654 • BFD Packet Intervals and Failure Detection, page 654 254915 Peer A is alive Peer A Peer B is alive Peer B Echo Packet destination A Echo Packet destination B 254916 Control packets Peer A Peer BConfiguring Bidirectional Forwarding Detection on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About BFD HC-654 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 • Priority Settings for BFD Packets, page 658 BFD Source and Destination Ports BFD payload control packets are encapsulated in UDP packets, using destination port 3784 and source port 49152. Even on shared media, like Ethernet, BFD control packets are always sent as unicast packets to the BFD peer. Echo packets are encapsulated in UDP packets, as well, using destination port 3785 and source port 3785. The BFD over bundle member feature increments each byte of the UDP source port on echo packets with each transmission. UDP source port ranges from 0xC0C0 to 0xFFFF. For example: 1st echo packet: 0xC0C0 2nd echo packet: 0xC1C1 3rd echo packet: 0xC2C2 The UDP source port is incremented so that sequential echo packets are hashed to deviating bundle member. BFD Packet Intervals and Failure Detection BFD uses configurable intervals and multipliers to specify the periods at which control and echo packets are sent in asynchronous mode and their corresponding failure detection. There are differences in how these intervals and failure detection times are implemented for BFD sessions running over physical interfaces, and BFD sessions on bundle member links. BFD Packet Intervals on Physical Interfaces When BFD is running over physical interfaces, echo mode is used only if the configured interval is less than two seconds. BFD sessions running over physical interfaces when echo mode is enabled send BFD control packets at a slow rate of every two seconds. There is no need to duplicate control packet failure detection at a fast rate because BFD echo packets are already being sent at fast rates and link failures will be detected when echo packets are not received within the echo failure detection time. BFD Packet Intervals on Bundle Member Links On each bundle member interface, BFD asynchronous mode control packets run at user-configurable interval and multiplier values, even when echo mode is running. However, on a bundle member interface when echo mode is enabled, BFD asynchronous mode must continue to run at a fast rate because one of the requirements of enabling BFD echo mode is that the bundle member interface is available in BFD asynchronous mode. The maximum echo packet interval for BFD on bundle member links is the minimum of either 30 seconds or the asynchronous control packet failure detection time. When echo mode is disabled, the behavior is the same as BFD over physical interfaces, where sessions exchange BFD control packets at the configured rate.Configuring Bidirectional Forwarding Detection on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About BFD HC-655 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Control Packet Failure Detection In Asynchronous Mode Control packet failure in asynchronous mode without echo is detected using the values of the minimum interval (bfd minimum-interval for non-bundle interfaces, and bfd address-family ipv4 minimum-interval for bundle interfaces) and multiplier (bfd multiplier for non-bundle interfaces, and bfd address-family ipv4 multiplier for bundle interfaces) commands. For control packet failure detection, the local multiplier value is sent to the neighbor. A failure detection timer is started based on (I x M), where I is the negotiated interval, and M is the multiplier provided by the remote end. Whenever a valid control packet is received from the neighbor, the failure detection timer is reset. If a valid control packet is not received from the neighbor within the time period (I x M), then the failure detection timer is triggered, and the neighbor is declared down. Echo Packet Failure Detection In Asynchronous Mode The standard echo failure detection scheme is done through a counter that is based on the value of the bfd multiplier command on non-bundle interfaces, and the value of the bfd address-family ipv4 multiplier command for bundle interfaces. This counter is incremented each time the system sends an echo packet, and is reset to zero whenever any echo packet is received, regardless of the order that the packet was sent in the echo packet stream. Under ideal conditions, this means that BFD generally detects echo failures that exceed the period of time (I x M) or (I x M x M) for bundle interfaces, where: • I—Value of the minimum interval (bfd minimum-interval for non-bundle interfaces, and bfd address-family ipv4 minimum-interval for bundle interfaces). • M—Value of the multiplier (bfd multiplier for non-bundle interfaces, and bfd address-family ipv4 multiplier for bundle interfaces) commands. So, if the system transmits one additional echo packet beyond the multiplier count without receipt of any echo packets, echo failure is detected and the neighbor is declared down (See Example 2, page 656). However, this standard echo failure detection does not address latency between transmission and receipt of any specific echo packet, which can build beyond (I x M) over the course of the BFD session. In this case, BFD will not declare a neighbor down as long as any echo packet continues to be received within the multiplier window and resets the counter to zero. Beginning in Cisco IOS XR 4.0.1, you can configure BFD to measure this latency for non-bundle interfaces. For more information, see Example 3, page 656 and the “Echo Packet Latency” section on page 657. Echo Failure Detection Examples This section provides examples of several scenarios of standard echo packet processing and failure detection without configuration of latency detection for non-bundle interfaces. In these examples, consider an interval of 50 ms and a multiplier of 3. Note The same interval and multiplier counter scheme for echo failure detection is used for bundle interfaces, but the values are determined by the bfd address-family ipv4 multiplier and bfd address-family ipv4 minimum-interval commands, and use a window of (I x M x M) to detect absence of receipt of echo packets.Configuring Bidirectional Forwarding Detection on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About BFD HC-656 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Example 1 The following example shows an ideal case where each echo packet is returned before the next echo is transmitted. In this case, the counter increments to 1 and is returned to 0 before the next echo is sent and no echo failure occurs. As long as the roundtip delay for echo packets in the session is less than the minimum interval, this scenario occurs: Time (T): Echo#1 TX (count = 1) T + 1 ms: Echo#1 RX (count = 0) T + 50 ms: Echo#2 TX (count = 1) T + 51 ms: Echo#2 RX (count = 0) T + 100 ms: Echo#3 TX (count = 1) T + 101 ms: Echo#3 RX (count = 0) T + 150 ms: Echo#4 TX (count = 1) T + 151 ms: Echo#4 RX (count = 0) Example 2 The following example shows the absence in return of any echo packets. After the transmission of the fourth echo packet, the counter exceeds the multiplier value of 3 and echo failure is detected. In this case, echo failure detection occurs at the 150 ms (I x M) window: Time (T): Echo#1 TX (count = 1) T + 50 ms: Echo#2 TX (count = 2) T + 100 ms: Echo#3 TX (count = 3) T + 150 ms: Echo#4 TX (count = 4 -> echo failure Example 3 The following example shows an example of how roundtrip latency can build beyond (I x M) for any particular echo packet over the course of a BFD session using the standard echo failure detection, but latency between return of echo packets overall in the session never exceeds the (I x M) window and the counter never exceeds the multiplier, so the neighbor is not declared down. Note You can configure BFD to detect roundtrip latency on non-bundle interfaces using the echo latency detect command beginning in Cisco IOS XR 4.0.1. Time (T): Echo#1 TX (count = 1) T + 1 ms: Echo#1 RX (count = 0) T + 50 ms: Echo#2 TX (count = 1) T + 51 ms: Echo#2 RX (count = 0) T + 100 ms: Echo#3 TX (count = 1) T + 150 ms: Echo#4 TX (count = 2) T + 151 ms: Echo#3 RX (count = 0; ~50 ms roundtrip latency) T + 200 ms: Echo#5 TX (count = 1) T + 250 ms: Echo#6 TX (count = 2) T + 251 ms: Echo#4 RX (count = 0; ~100 ms roundtrip latency) T + 300 ms: Echo#7 TX (count = 1) T + 350 ms: Echo#8 TX (count = 2) T + 351 ms: Echo#5 RX (count = 0; ~150 ms roundtrip latency) T + 451 ms: Echo#6 RX (count = 0; ~200 ms roundtrip latency; no failure detection) T + 501 ms: Echo#7 RX (count = 0; ~200 ms roundtrip latency; no failure detection) T + 551 ms: Echo#8 RX (count = 0; ~200 ms roundtrip latency; no failure detection) Looking at the delay between receipt of echo packets for the BFD session, observe that no latency is beyond the (I x M) window: Echo#1 RX – Echo#2 RX: 50 ms Echo#2 RX – Echo#3 RX: 100ms Echo#3 RX - Echo#4 RX: 100ms Echo#4 RX - Echo#5 RX: 100ms Echo#5 RX - Echo#6 RX: 100msConfiguring Bidirectional Forwarding Detection on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About BFD HC-657 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Echo#6 RX - Echo#7 RX: 50ms Echo#7 RX - Echo#8 RX: 50ms Summary of Packet Intervals and Failure Detection Times for BFD on Bundle Interfaces For BFD on bundle interfaces, with a session interval I and a multiplier M, these packet intervals and failure detection times apply for BFD asynchronous mode (Table 26): • Value of I—Minimum period between sending of BFD control packets. • Value of I x M – BFD control packet failure detection time. – Minimum period between sending of BFD echo packets. The BFD control packet failure detection time is the maximum amount of time that can elapse without receipt of a BFD control packet before the BFD session is declared down. • Value of (I x M) x M—BFD echo packet failure detection time. This is the maximum amount of time that can elapse without receipt of a BFD echo packet (using the standard multiplier counter scheme as described in Echo Packet Failure Detection In Asynchronous Mode, page 655) before the BFD session is declared down. Echo Packet Latency In Cisco IOS XR software releases prior to Cisco IOS XR 4.0.1, BFD only detects an absence of receipt of echo packets, not a specific delay for TX/RX of a particular echo packet. In some cases, receipt of BFD echo packets in general can be within their overall tolerances for failure detection and packet transmission, but a longer delay might develop over a period of time for any particular roundtrip of an echo packet (See Example 3, page 656). Beginning in Cisco IOS XR 4.0.1, you can configure the router to detect the actual latency between transmitted and received echo packets on non-bundle interfaces and also take down the session when the latency exceeds configured thresholds for that roundtrip latency. For more information, see the “Configuring BFD Session Teardown Based on Echo Latency Detection” section on page 685. Table 26 BFD Packet Intervals and Failure Detection Time Examples on Bundle Interfaces Configured Async Control Packet Interval (ms) (bfd address-family ipv4 minimum-interval) Configured Multiplier (bfd address-family ipv4 multiplier) Async Control Packet Failure Detection Time (ms) (Interval x Multiplier) Echo Packet Interval (Async Control Packet Failure Detection Time) Echo Packet Failure Detection Time (Echo Interval x Multiplier) 50 3 150 150 450 75 4 300 300 1200 200 2 400 400 800 2000 3 6000 6000 18000 15000 3 45000 30000 1 1. The maximum echo packet interval for BFD on bundle member links is the minimum of either 30 seconds or the asynchronous control packet failure detection time. 90000Configuring Bidirectional Forwarding Detection on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About BFD HC-658 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 In addition, you can verify that the echo packet path is within specified latency tolerances before starting a BFD session. With echo startup validation, an echo packet is periodically transmitted on the link while it is down to verify successful transmission within the configured latency before allowing the BFD session to change state. For more information, see the “Delaying BFD Session Startup Until Verification of Echo Path and Latency” section on page 686. Priority Settings for BFD Packets For all interfaces under over-subscription, the internal priority needs to be assigned to remote BFD Echo packets, so that these BFD packets are not overwhelmed by other data packets. In addition, CoS values need to be set appropriately, so that in the event of an intermediate switch, the reply back of remote BFD Echo packets are protected from all other packets in the switch. As configured CoS values in ethernet headers may not be retained in Echo messages, CoS values must be explicitly configured in the appropriate egress QoS service policy. CoS values for BFD packets attached to a traffic class can be set using the set cos command. For more information on configuring class-based unconditional packet marking, see “Configuring Modular QoS Packet Classification” in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Modular Quality of Service Configuration Guide. BFD for IPv4 Cisco IOS XR software supports bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) singlehop and multihop for both IPv4 and IPv6. In BFD for IPv4 single-hop connectivity, Cisco IOS XR software supports both asynchronous mode and echo mode over physical numbered Packet-over-SONET/SDH (POS) and Gigabit Ethernet links, as follows: • Echo mode is initiated only after a session is established using BFD control packets. Echo mode is always enabled for BFD bundle member interfaces. For physical interfaces, the BFD minimum interval must also be less than two seconds to support echo packets. • BFD echo packets are transmitted over UDP/IPv4 using source and destination port 3785. The source address of the IP packet is the IP address of the output interface (default) or the address specified with the router-id command if set or the address specified in the echo ipv4 source command, and the destination address is the local interface address. • BFD asynchronous packets are transmitted over UDP and IPv4 using source port 49152 and destination port 3784. For asynchronous mode, the source address of the IP packet is the local interface address, and the destination address is the remote interface address. Note BFD multihop does not support echo mode. Consider the following guidelines when configuring BFD on Cisco IOS XR software: • BFD is a fixed-length hello protocol, in which each end of a connection transmits packets periodically over a forwarding path. Cisco IOS XR software supports BFD adaptive detection times. • BFD can be used with the following applications: – BGP – IS-IS – OSPF and OSPFv3Configuring Bidirectional Forwarding Detection on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About BFD HC-659 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 – MPLS Traffic Engineering (MPLS-TE) – Static routes (IPv4 and IPv6) – Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) – Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) – Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) Note When multiple applications share the same BFD session, the application with the most aggressive timer wins locally. Then, the result is negotiated with the peer router. • BFD is supported for connections over the following interface types: – Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) – Ten Gigabit Ethernet (TenGigE) – Packet-over-SONET/SDH (POS) – Serial – Virtual LAN (VLAN) – Logical interfaces such as bundles, GRE, PWHE Note BFD is supported on the above interface types and not on logical interfaces unless specifically stated. For example, BFD cannot be configured on BVI, interflex, satellite, and other interfaces. • Cisco IOS XR software supports BFD Version 0 and Version 1. BFD sessions are established using either version, depending upon the neighbor. BFD Version 1 is the default version and is tried initially for session creation.Configuring Bidirectional Forwarding Detection on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About BFD HC-660 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 BFD for IPv6 Cisco IOS XR software supports bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) for both IPv4 and IPv6. Bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) for IPv6 supports the verification of live connectivity on interfaces that use IPv6 addresses. The live connectivity verification for both IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces is performed by the same services and processes. Both IPv4 and IPv6 BFD sessions can run simultaneously on the same line card. The same features and configurations that are supported in BFD for IPv4 are also supported in BFD for IPv6. BFD on Bundled VLANs BFD for IPv4 on bundled VLANS is supported using static routing, IS-IS, and OSPF. When running a BFD session on a bundled VLAN interface, the BFD session is active as long as the VLAN bundle is up. As long as the VLAN bundle is active, the following events do not cause the BFD session to fail: • Failure of a component link. • Online insertion and removal (OIR) of a line card which hosts one or more of the component links. • Addition of a component link (by configuration) to the bundle. • Removal of a component link (by configuration) from the bundle. • Shutdown of a component link. • RP switchover. Note For more information on configuring a VLAN bundle, see the Configuring Link Bundling on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router module. Keep the following in mind when configuring BFD over bundled VLANs: • In the case of an RP switchover, configured next-hops are registered in the Routing Information Base (RIB). • In the case of a BFD restart, static routes remain in the RIB. BFD sessions are reestablished when BFD restarts. Note Static BFD sessions are supported on peers with address prefixes whose next-hops are directly connected to the router. BFD Over Member Links on Link Bundles Beginning in Cisco IOS XR Release 4.0.1, the BFD feature supports BFD sessions on individual physical bundle member links to monitor Layer 3 connectivity on those links, rather than just at a single bundle member as in prior releases (Figure 37). Configuring Bidirectional Forwarding Detection on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About BFD HC-661 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Figure 37 BFD Sessions in Original BFD Over Bundles and Enhanced BFD Over Bundle Member Links Architectures When you run BFD on link bundles, you can run an independent BFD session on each underlying physical interface that is part of that bundle. When BFD is running on a link bundle member, these layers of connectivity are effectively tested as part of the interface state monitoring for BFD: • Layer 1 physical state • Layer 2 Link Access Control Protocol (LACP) state • Layer 3 BFD state The BFD agent on each bundle member link monitors state changes on the link. BFD agents for sessions running on bundle member links communicate with a bundle manager. The bundle manager determines the state of member links and the overall availability of the bundle. The state of the member links contributes to the overall state of the bundle based on the threshold of minimum active links or minimum active bandwidth that is configured for that bundle. Overview of BFD State Change Behavior on Member Links and Bundle Status This section describes when bundle member link states are characterized as active or down, and their effect on the overall bundle status: • You can configure BFD on a bundle member interface that is already active or one that is inactive. For the BFD session to be up using LACP on the interface, LACP must have reached the distributing state. Note • A BFD member link is “IIR Active” if the link is in LACP distributing state and the BFD session is up. • A BFD member link is “IIR Attached” when the BFD session is down, unless a LACP state transition is received. • You can configure timers for up to 3600 seconds (1 hour) to allow for delays in receipt of BFD state change notifications (SCNs) from peers before declaring a link bundle BFD session down. The configurable timers apply to these situations: 254921 BFD over Bundle (Original Feature) BFD over Bundle Members (Enhanced Feature) BFD session Bundle member linksConfiguring Bidirectional Forwarding Detection on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Information About BFD HC-662 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 – BFD session startup (bfd address-family ipv4 timers start command)—Number of seconds to allow after startup of a BFD member link session for the expected notification from the BFD peer to be received to declare the session up. If the SCN is not received after that period of time, the BFD session is declared down. – Notification of removal of BFD configuration by a neighbor (bfd address-family ipv4 timers nbr-unconfig command)—Number of seconds to allow after receipt of notification that BFD configuration has been removed by a BFD neighbor so that any configuration inconsistency between the BFD peers can be fixed. If the BFD configuration issue is not resolved before the specified timer is reached, the BFD session is declared down. • A BFD session sends a DOWN notification when one of these occurs: – The BFD configuration is removed on the local member link. The BFD system notifies the peer on the neighbor router that the configuration is removed. The BFD session is removed from the bundle manager without affecting other bundle member interfaces or the overall bundle state. – A member link is removed from the bundle. Removing a member link from a bundle causes the bundle member to be removed ungracefully. The BFD session is deleted and BFD on the neighboring router marks the session DOWN rather than NBR_CONFIG_DOWN. • In these cases, a DOWN notification is not sent, but the internal infrastructure treats the event as if a DOWN has occurred: – The BFD configuration is removed on a neighboring router and the neighbor unconfiguration timer (if configured) expires. The BFD system notifies the bundle manager that the BFD configuration has been removed on the neighboring router and, if bfd timers nbr-unconfig is configured on the link, the timer is started. If the BFD configuration is removed on the local router before the timer expires, then the timer is stopped and the behavior is as expected for BFD configuration removal on the local router. If the timer expires, then the behavior is the same as for a BFD session DOWN notification. – The session startup timer expires before notification from the BFD peer is received. • The BFD session on a bundle member sends BFD state change notifications to the bundle manager. Once BFD state change notifications for bundle member interfaces are received by the bundle manager, the bundle manager determines whether or not the corresponding bundle interface is usable. • A threshold for the minimum number of active member links on a bundle is used by the bundle manager to determine whether the bundle remains active, or is down based on the state of its member links. When BFD is started on a bundle that is already active, the BFD state of the bundle is declared when the BFD state of all the existing active members is known. Whenever a member’s state changes, the bundle manager determines if the number of active members is less than the minimum number of active links threshold. If so, then the bundle is placed, or remains, in DOWN state. Once the number of active links reaches the minimum threshold then the bundle returns to UP state. • Another threshold is configurable on the bundle and is used by the bundle manager to determine the minimum amount of active bandwidth to be available before the bundle goes to DOWN state. This is configured using the bundle minimum-active bandwidth command.Configuring Bidirectional Forwarding Detection on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router How to Configure BFD HC-663 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 • The BFD server responds to information from the bundle manager about state changes for the bundle interface and notifies applications on that interface while also sending system messages and MIB traps. BFD Multipath Sessions BFD can be applied over virtual interfaces such as GRE tunnel interfaces, PWHE interfaces, or between interfaces that are multihops away as described in the BFD for MultiHop Paths section. These types of BFD sessions are referred to BFD Multipath sessions. As long as one path to the destination is active, these events may or may not cause the BFD Multipath session to fail as it depends on the interval negotiated versus the convergence time taken to update forwarding plane: • Failure of a path • Online insertion or removal (OIR) of a line card which hosts one or more paths • Removal of a link (by configuration) which constitutes a path • Shutdown of a link which constitutes a path You must configure bfd mutlipath include location location-id command to enable at least one line card for the underlying mechanism that can be used to send and receive packets for the multipath sessions. If a BFD Multipath session is hosted on a line card that is being removed from the bfd multipath include configuration, online removed, or brought to maintenance mode, then BFD attempts to migrate all BFD Multipath sessions hosted on that line card to another one. In that case, static routes are removed from RIB and then the BFD session is established again and included to RIB. BFD for MultiHop Paths BFD multihop (BFD-MH) is a BFD session between two addresses that are not on the same subnet. An example of BFD-MH is a BFD session between PE and CE loopback addresses or BFD sessions between routers that are several TTL hops away. The applications that support BFD multihop are external and internal BGP. BFD multihop supports BFD on arbitrary paths, which can span multiple network hops. The BFD Multihop feature provides sub-second forwarding failure detection for a destination more than one hop, and up to 255 hops, away. The bfd multihop ttl-drop-threshold command can be used to drop BFD packets coming from neighbors exceeding a certain number of hops. BFD multihop is supported on all currently supported media-type for BFD singlehop. Setting up BFD Multihop A BFD multihop session is set up between a unique source-destination address pair provided by the client. A session can be set up between two endpoints that have IP connectivity. For BFD Multihop, IPv4 addresses in both global routing table and in a VRF is supported.

If you have multiple linecards supporting BFD, then the maximum rate for BFD sessions per system is the supported linecard rate multiplied by the number of linecards. – The maximum rate for BFD sessions per linecard is 9600 pps. • The maximum number of BFD sessions supported on any one card is 1440. • The maximum number of members in a bundle is 64. • The maximum number of BFD sessions on VLANs in a bundle is 128.When using BFD with OSPF, consider the following guidelines: – BFD establishes sessions from a neighbor to a designated router (DR) or backup DR (BDR) only when the neighbor state is full. – BFD does not establish sessions between DR-Other neighbors (for example, when their OSPF states are both 2-way). Caution If you are using BFD with Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (uRPF) on a particular interface, then you need to use the echo disable command to disable echo mode on that interface; otherwise, echo packets will be rejected. For more information, see the “Disabling Echo Mode” section on page 689. To enable or disable IPv4 uRPF checking on an IPv4 interface, use the [no] ipv4 verify unicast source reachable-via command in interface configuration mode.

Echo mode should be disabled when using BFD for the following applications or conditions: • BFD with uRPF (IPv4) • To support rack reload and online insertion and removal (OIR) when a BFD bundle interface has member links that span multiple racks. Note BFD echo mode is automatically disabled for BFD on physical interfaces when the minimum interval is greater than two seconds. The minimum interval does not affect echo mode on BFD bundle member links. BFD echo mode is also automatically disabled for BFD on bundled VLANs and IPv6 (global and link-local addressing). You can disable echo mode for BFD on the entire router, or for a particular interface: • Disabling Echo Mode on a Router, page 689 • Disabling Echo Mode on an Individual Interface or Bundle, page 690 Disabling Echo Mode on a Router To disable echo mode globally on the router complete the following steps: SUMMARY STEPS 1. configure 2. bfd 3. echo disable 4. end or commit DETAILED STEPS Command or Action Purpose Step 1 configure Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure Enters global configuration mode.

The command reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance. Before configuring the Satellite nV system, you must have these hardware and software installed in your chassis: • Hardware : Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers with ASR 9000 Enhanced Ethernet line cards as the location of Inter Chassis Links and Cisco ASR9000v routers as Satellite boxes. • Software : Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.1 or later on Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. The Satellite nV solution uses the Cisco ASR 9000v as the initial satellite switch. For more information on hardware requirements, see Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide. Overview of Satellite nV Switching System The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Satellite Network Virtualization (nV) service or the Satellite Switching System enables you to configure a topology in which one or more satellite switches complement one or more Cisco ASR 9000 Series routers, to collectively realize a single virtual switching system. In this system, the satellite switches act under the management control of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. The complete configuration and management of the satellite chassis and features is performed through the control plane and management plane of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. Interconnection between the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router and its satellite switches is through standard ethernet interfaces. These are typically 10 Gigabit Ethernet initially but not restricted to any particular flavor or line speed of ethernet. See Figure 38. Figure 38 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Satellite Switching System Satellite Shelf Satellite Shelf Satellite Shelf N x 10-GE N x 10-GE N x 10-GE ASR 9000 332415Configuring the Satellite Network Virtualization (nV) System on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Overview of Satellite nV Switching System HC-709 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 This type of architecture can be realized in a carrier Ethernet transport network, with the satellite switches used as either access switches, or pre-aggregation and aggregation switches. These switches feed into an edge router, such as the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router or Cisco CRS-3 Router where more advanced L2, L3 services are provisioned. You can also utilize this model in a FTTB (Fiber To The Business) network application, where business internet and VPN services are offered on a commercial basis. Further, it can also be used in other networks, such as wireless/ RAN backhaul aggregation networks. Benefits of Satellite nV System The Cisco ASR 9000 Series satellite nV system offers these benefits: 1. Extended port scalability and density - You can create a virtual line card with more than 400 physical Gigabit Ethernet ports. There is a significant increase of ethernet port density in the resulting logical Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. For example, a single 24-port TenGigE line card on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router could integrate up to 24 satellite switches each with 44 GigE ports; this results in an effective port density of 1056 Gigabit Ethernet ports for each Cisco ASR 9000 Series line card slot. In other configurations, even higher port density can be achieved. This is beneficial because the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router has a per-slot non blocking capacity of up to 400 Gbps (with appropriate RSPs) and there is no other way of physically fitting hundreds of gigabit ethernet ports/ SFPs on the face plate of a single Cisco ASR 9000 Series line card. As a result, in order to utilize the full capacity of an Cisco ASR 9000 Series line card, it is necessary to physically separate out the ethernet ports, while maintaining logical management control. This would appear as if all ports were physically on a single large line card of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. 2. Reduced cost - All the edge-routing capabilities and application features of the Cisco IOS XR software are available on low cost access switches. 3. Reduced operating expense - You can seamlessly upgrade software images, and also manage the chassis and services from a common point. This includes a single logical router view, single point of applying CLI or XML interface for the entire system of switches, a single point of monitoring the entire system of switches and a single point of image management and software upgrades for the entire system. 4. Enhanced feature consistency - All the features on the regular GigE ports of Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router are also available on the access ports of a satellite access switch in a functionally identical and consistent manner. The typical application of a satellite system would be in the access and aggregation layers of a network. By integrating the access switches along with the aggregation or core switch, you can ensure that there are no feature gaps between the access switch and the aggregation or core switch. All features, such as carrier ethernet features, QoS and OAM, function consistently, from access to core, because of this integrated approach. 5. Improved feature velocity - With the satellite solution, every feature that is implemented on the Cisco ASR9000 Series Router becomes instantly available at the same time in the access switch, resulting in an ideal feature velocity for the edge switch. 6. Better resiliency - The nV satellite solution enables better multi-chassis resiliency, as well as better end-to-end QoS. For more information on QoS capabilities, see Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router QoS Configuration Guide.Configuring the Satellite Network Virtualization (nV) System on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Overview of Port Extender Model HC-710 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Overview of Port Extender Model In the Port Extender Satellite switching system, a satellite switch is attached to its parent Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router through physical ethernet ports. Note In releases later than Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.1, attachment models beyond the port extender model will also be supported. The parent Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router is referred as the host in this model. From a management or a provisioning point of view, the physical access ports of the satellite switch are equivalent to the physical ethernet ports on the Cisco ASR9000 Series Router. You do not need a specific console connection for managing the Satellite Switching System, except for debugging purposes. The interface and chassis level features of the satellite are visible in the control plane of Cisco IOS XR software running on the host. This allows the complete management of the satellites and the host as a single logical router. Figure 39 Port Extender Satellite Switching System In this model, a single Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router hosts two satellite switches, SAT1 and SAT2, to form an overall virtual Cisco ASR 9000 switching system; this is shown by the dotted line surrounding the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, SAT1, and SAT2 in Figure 39. This structure effectively appears as a single logical Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router to the external network. External access switches A1, A2 and A3 connect to this overall virtual switch by physically connecting to SAT1 and SAT2 using normal ethernet links. The links between the satellite switches and the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router are ethernet links, and are referred as ICLs (Inter-Chassis Links). The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router is referred as the host in this system. When there is congestion on the interchassis links, an inbuilt QoS protection mechanism is available for the traffic. Access LAG1 A1 Access LAG2 A2 A3 SAT1 SAT2 “Unprotected” IC link Protected” IC link HOST ASR 9K (single chassis OR cluster) LC1 LC2 Virtual ASR9K Switching System 332678Configuring the Satellite Network Virtualization (nV) System on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Overview of Port Extender Model HC-711 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Note SAT1, SAT2, and the host Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router need not be located in the same geographic location. This means that the ICLs need not be of nominal length for only intra-location or intra-building use. The ICLs may be tens, hundreds, or even thousands of miles in length, thereby creating a logical satellite switch spanning a large geography. Note In a Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router multi-chassis cluster system, there are multiple Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router systems within a single virtual switch system. Logically however, it is still considered a single host system. Features Supported in the Satellite nV System This section provides details of the features of a satellite system. Satellite System Physical Topology The satellite system supports the point-to-point hub and spoke physical topology for the ICLs between satellite switches and the host Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. This topology allows a physical Ethernet MAC layer connection from the satellite to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. This can be realized using a direct Ethernet over Fiber or Ethernet over Optical transport (such as Ethernet over a SONET/ SDH/ CWDM/ DWDM network). This topology also allows a satellite switch to be geographically at a separate location, other than that of the host Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. There is no limit set for the distance, and the solution works even when the satellite is placed at a distance of tens, hundreds, or even thousands of miles from the host. Inter-Chassis Link Redundancy Modes and Load Balancing The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Satellite system supports these redundancy modes: • Non-redundant inter-chassis links mode - In this mode, there is no link level redundancy between inter-chassis links of a satellite. • Redundant inter-chassis links mode - In this mode, the link level redundancy between inter-chassis links are provided using a single link aggregation (LAG) bundle. In the redundant ICL mode, the load balancing of traffic between members of the IC bundle is done using a simple hashing function based on the satellite access port ID, and not based on the flow based hash using L2 or L3 header contents from the packets. This ensures that a single ICL is used by all packets for a given satellite access port. As a result, the actions applied for QoS and other features consider all the packets belonging to a single satellite access port. For more details on QoS application and configuration on ICLs, see Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Modular Quality of Service Configuration Guide.Configuring the Satellite Network Virtualization (nV) System on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Overview of Port Extender Model HC-712 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Satellite Discovery and Control Protocols A Cisco proprietary discovery and control protocol is used between the satellite switches and the host Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router devices, to handle discovery, provisioning, and monitoring of the satellite devices from the host Cisco ASR 9000 Series Satellite System in-band over the ICLs. The Satellite Discovery And Control (SDAC) Protocol provides the behavioural, semantic, and syntactic definition of the relationship between a satellite device and its host. Satellite Discovery and Control Protocol IP Connectivity The connectivity for the SDAC protocol is provided through a normal in-band IP routed path over the ICLs using private and public IP addresses appropriate for the carrier's network. You can configure a management IP address on the host CLI for each satellite switch and corresponding IP addresses on the ICLs. You can select addresses from the private IPv4 address space (for example, 10.0.0.0/8 or 192.1.168.0/24) in order to prevent any conflict with normal service level IPv4 addresses being used in the IPv4 FIB. You can also configure a private VRF that is used for only satellite management traffic, so that the IP addresses assigned to the satellites can be within this private VRF. This reduces the risk of address conflict or IP address management complexity compared to other IP addresses and VRFs that are used on the router. Layer-2 and L2VPN Features All L2 and L2VPN features that are supported on physical ethernet or bundle ethernet interfaces are also supported on Satellite Ethernet interfaces. For more details on L2VPN features supported on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Satellite System, see Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router L2VPN and Ethernet Services Configuration Guide. Layer-3 and L3VPN Features All MPLS L3VPN features that are supported on ethernet interfaces such as GRE, netflow, and so on, are also supported on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Satellite System. For more information on these features, see Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router MPLS Layer 3 VPN Configuration Guide and Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Netflow Configuration Guide. Layer-2 and Layer-3 Multicast Features All Layer-2 and Layer-3 multicast features, including IGMP, IGMP snooping, PIM, mLDP, MVPN, P2MP TE, are supported on Satellite Ethernet interfaces, as they are supported on normal Ethernet and bundle ethernet interfaces. For more information on these features supported on a satellite system, see Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Multicast Configuration Guide.Configuring the Satellite Network Virtualization (nV) System on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Overview of Port Extender Model HC-713 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Quality of Service Most Layer-2, Layer-3 QoS and ACL features are supported on Satellite Ethernet interfaces that are similar to normal physical Ethernet interfaces, with the exception of any ingress policy with a queueing action. However, for QoS, there may be some functional differences in the behavior because in the Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.1, user-configured MQC policies are applied on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, and not on the satellite switch interfaces. For more detailed information on QoS policy attributes, features, and their configuration, see Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Modular Quality of Service Configuration Guide. Note User-configured QoS policies are independent of any default port level QoS that are applied in order to handle IC link congestion and oversubscription scenarios. In addition to the default port-level QoS applied on the satellite system ports, there is also some default QoS applied on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router side, to the ingress and egress traffic from and to the Satellite Ethernet ports. Cluster Support A cluster of Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers is supported along with the satellite mode. A single cluster system can act like one logical Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router host system for a group of satellite switches. A satellite switch can also have some ICLs connect to rack 0 and other ICLs connect to rack 1 of a cluster system. For more information, see Configuring the nV Edge System on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router chapter. Note The Satellite Ethernet interfaces cannot be used as cluster inter-rack links. Time of Day Synchronization The Time of Day parameter on the satellite switch is synchronized with the time of day on the host. This ensures that time stamps on debug messages and other satellite event logs are consistent with the host, and with all satellite switches across the network. This is achieved through the SDAC Discovery Protocol from the host to the satellite switch when the ICLs are discovered. Satellite Chassis Management The chassis level management of the satellite is done through the host because the satellite switch is a logical portion of the overall virtual switch. This ensures that service providers get to manage a single logical device with respect to all aspects including service-level, as well as box-level management. This simplifies the network operations. These operations include inventory management, environmental sensor monitoring, and fault/alarm monitoring for the satellite chassis through the corresponding CLI, SNMP, and XML interfaces of the host Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. Note The satellite system hardware features, support for SFPs, and compatible topologies are described in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide.Configuring the Satellite Network Virtualization (nV) System on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Implementing a Satellite nV System HC-714 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Restrictions of the Satellite nV System These are some of the software restrictions of the satellite nV system in the current release. These restrictions will be eliminated in the future releases. • The inter-chassis link redundancy is supported only through the static EtherChannel, and not through LACP based link bundles. Minimum and maximum link commands are not applicable when ICL is a bundle. • If a satellite system is operating in redundant ICL mode, then you cannot configure link bundles of any form (with or without LACP) on the access ports of that same satellite switch. • If a satellite system is operating in redundant ICL mode, then Ethernet OAM features are not supported on the access ports of that satellite. • Multi-chassis Link Aggregation is supported if there are two independent Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers acting as the POA (Point of Attachment), each with its own satellite switch, and the DHD (Dual Homed Device) connecting through each of the satellite switches. However, MC-LAG is not supported with a single satellite switch that connects two separate Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers through an ICL LAG. Note Refer to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Release Notes, Release 4.2.1 for additional software restrictions. Implementing a Satellite nV System The Interface Control Plane Extender(ICPE) infrastructure has a mechanism to provide the Control Plane of an interface physically located on the Satellite device in the local Cisco IOS XR software. After this infrastructure is established, the interfaces behave like other physical ethernet interfaces on the router. The ICPE configuration covers these functional areas, which are each required to set up full connectivity with a Satellite device: • Defining the Satellite nV System, page 714 • Configuring the host IP address, page 717 • Configuring the Inter-Chassis Links and IP Connectivity, page 718 • Plug and Play Satellite nV Switch Turn up: (Rack, Plug, and Go installation), page 721 Defining the Satellite nV System Each satellite that is to be attached to Cisco IOS XR software must be configured on the host, and also be provided with a unique identifier. In order to provide suitable verification of configuration and functionality, the satellite type, and its capabilities must also be specified. Further, in order to provide connectivity with the satellite, an IP address must be configured, which will be pushed down to the satellite through the Discovery protocol, and allows Control protocol connectivity. This task explains how to define the satellite system by assigning an ID and basic identification information.Configuring the Satellite Network Virtualization (nV) System on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Implementing a Satellite nV System HC-715 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 SUMMARY STEPS 1. configure 2. nv 3. satellite 4. serial-number (Optional) 5. description (Optional) 6. type 7. ipv4 address

You must also specify the access, that is down-stream GigE ports, which crosslink up to the Host through the configured ICL. In order to establish connectivity between the host and satellite, suitable IP addresses must be configured on both sides. The satellite IP address is forwarded through the Discovery protocol. The configuration is described in the section, Defining the Satellite nV System, page 714. Note This configuration shows the use of the global default VRF. The recommended option is to use a private VRF for nV IP addresses as shown in the Satellite Management using private VRF subsection under Satellite System Configuration: Example.

Configuring the Satellite nV Access Interfaces The access GigabitEthernet interfaces on the satellite are represented locally in Cisco IOS XR Software using interfaces named GigabitEthernet similar to other non-satellite GigabitEthernet interfaces. The only difference is that the rack id used for a satellite access GigabitEthernet interface is the configured satellite ID for that satellite. These interfaces support all features that are normally configurable on GigabitEthernet interfaces (if running over a physical IC Link), or Bundle-Ether interfaces (if running over a virtual IC Link). Step 7 satellite-fabric-link satellite Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-int-nv)# satellite-fabric-link satelite 200 Specifies that the interface is an ICPE inter-chassis link. Step 8 remote-ports interface type Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-int-nv)# remote-ports GigabitEthernet 0/0/0-30 Configures the remote satellite ports 0 to 30. Step 9 end or commit Example: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# end or RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# commit Saves configuration changes. • When you issue the end command, the system prompts you to commit changes: Uncommitted changes found, commit them before exiting(yes/no/cancel)? [cancel]: – Entering yes saves configuration changes to the running configuration file, exits the configuration session, and returns the router to EXEC mode. – Entering no exits the configuration session and returns the router to EXEC mode without committing the configuration changes. – Entering cancel leaves the router in the current configuration session without exiting or committing the configuration changes. • Use the commit command to save the configuration changes to the running configuration file and remain within the configuration session.

The command reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance. Before configuring the nV Edge system, you must have these hardware and software installed in your chassis: • Hardware : Cisco ASR 9000 Series SPA Interface Processor-700 and Cisco ASR 9000 Enhanced Ethernet line cards are supported. Cisco ASR 9000 Enhanced Ethernet line card 10 GigE links are used as IRLs (inter-rack links). • Software : Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.1 or later on Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. For more information on hardware requirements, see Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide. Overview of Cisco ASR 9000 nV Edge Architecture A Cisco ASR 9000 Series nV Edge consists of two or more Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router chassis that are combined to form a single logical switching or routing entity. You can operate two Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router platforms as a single virtual Cisco ASR 9000 Series system. Effectively, they can logically link two physical chassis with a shared control plane, as if the chassis were two route switch processors (RSPs) within a single chassis. See Figure 40. The blue lines on top shows the internal eobc interconnection and the red lines at the bottom show the data plane interconnection. As a result, you can double the bandwidth capacity of single nodes and eliminate the need for complex protocol-based high-availability schemes. Hence, you can achieve failover times of less than 50 milliseconds for even the most demanding services and scalability needs.

Figure 41 EOBC Links on a Cisco ASR 9000 nV Edge System As illustrated in the Figure 41, the two physical chasses are linked using a Layer 1 10-Gbps connection, with RSPs communicating using a Layer 1 or Layer 2 Ethernet out-of-band channel (EOBC) extension to create a single virtual control plane. Each RSP has 2 EOBC ports and with redundant RSPs there will be 4 connections between the chassis. The Cisco Virtualized Network Architecture combines the nV Edge system with the satellite devices to offer the Satellite nV architecture. For more information on Satellite nV models, see Configuring the Satellite Network Virtualization (nV) System on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router chapter. Inter Rack Links on Cisco ASR 9000 Series nV Edge System The IRL (Inter Rack Link) connections are required for forwarded traffic going from one chassis out of interface on the other chassis part of the nV edge system. The IRL has to be a 10 GigE link and it has to be direct L1 connections. The IRLs are used for forwarding packets whose ingress and egress interfaces are on separate racks. There can be a maximum of 16 such links between the chassis. A minimum of two links are required and they should be on two separate line cards, for better resiliency in case one line card goes down due to any fault. See Cisco ASR 9000 nV Edge Architecture.

In a normal scenario of nV Edge System where the Primary and Backup DSC nodes are hosted on separate racks, the failure detection for the Primary DSC happens through communication between the racks. These mechanisms are used to detect RSP failures across rack boundaries: • FPGA state information detected by the peer RSP in the same chassis is broadcast over the control links. This information is sent if any state change occurs and periodically every 200ms. • The UDLD state of the inter rack control or data links are sent to the remote rack, with failures detected at an interval of 500ms. • A keep-alive message is sent between RSP cards through the inter rack control links, with a failure detection time of 10 seconds. A Split Brain is a condition where the inter rack links between the routers in a Cisco ASR 9000 Series nV Edge system fails and hence the nodes on both routers start to act as primary node. So, messages are sent between these racks in order to detect Split Brain avoidance. These occur at 200ms intervals across the inter-rack data links. Scenarios for High Availability These are some sample scenarios for failure detection: 1. Single RSP Failure in the Primary DSC node - The Standby RSP within the same chassis initially detects the failure through the backplane FPGA. In the event of a failure detection, this RSP transitions to the active state and notifies the Backup DSC node about the failure through the inter-chassis control link messaging. 2. Failure of Primary DSC node and the Standby peer RSP - There are multiple cases where this scenario can occur, such as power-cycle of the Primary DSC rack or simultaneous soft reset of both RSP cards within the Primary rack. a. The remote rack failure is initially detected by UDLD failure on the inter rack control link. The Backup DSC node checks the UDLD state on the inter rack data link. If the rack failure is confirmed by failure of the data link as well, then the Backup DSC node becomes active. b. UDLD failure detection occurs every 500ms but the time between control link and data link failure can vary since these are independent failures detected by the RSP and line cards. A windowing period of up to 2 seconds is needed to correlate the control and data link failures and to allow split brain detection messages to be received. The keep-alive messaging between RSPs acts as a redundant detection mechanism, if the UDLD detection fails to detect a reset RSP card. 3. Failure of Inter Rack Control links (Split Brain) - This failure is initially detected by the UDLD protocol on the Inter Rack Control links. In this case, the Backup DSC continues to receive UDLD and keep-alive messages through the inter rack data link. As discussed in the Scenario 2, a windowing period of two seconds is allowed to synchronize between the control and data link failures. If the data link has not failed, or Split Brain packets are received across the Management LAN, then the Backup DSC rack reloads to avoid the split brain condition.Configuring the nV Edge System on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Benefits of Cisco ASR 9000 Series nV Edge System HC-737 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Benefits of Cisco ASR 9000 Series nV Edge System The Cisco ASR 9000 Series nV Edge system architecture offers these benefits: 1. The Cisco ASR 9000 Series nV Edge System appears as a single switch or router to the neighboring devices. 2. You can logically link two physical chassis with a shared control plane, as if the chassis were two route switch processors (RSPs) within a single chassis. As a result, you can double the bandwidth capacity of single nodes and eliminate the need for complex protocol-based high-availability schemes. 3. You can achieve failover times of less than 50 milliseconds for even the most demanding services and scalability needs. 4. You can manage the cluster as a single entity rather than two entities. Better resiliency is available due to chassis protecting one another. 5. Cisco nV technology allows you to extend Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router system capabilities beyond the physical chassis with remote virtual line cards. These small form-factor (SFF) Cisco ASR 9000v cards can aggregate hundreds of Gigabit Ethernet connections at the access and aggregation layers. 6. You can scale up to thousands of Gigabit Ethernet interfaces without having to separately provision hundreds or thousands of access platforms. This helps you to simplify the network architecture and reduce the operating expenses (OpEx). 7. The multi-chassis capabilities of Cisco IOS XR Software are employed. These capabilities are extended to allow for enhanced chassis resiliency including data plane, control plane, and management plane protection in case of complete failure of any chassis in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series nV Edge System. 8. You can reduce the number of pseudo wires required for achieving pseudowire redundancy. 9. The nV Edge system allows seamless addition of new chassis. There would be no disruption in traffic or control session flap when a chassis is added to the system.Configuring the nV Edge System on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Restrictions of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series nV Edge System HC-738 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 Restrictions of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series nV Edge System These are some of the restrictions for the Cisco ASR 9000 nV Edge system: • The first generation Cisco ASR 9000 Ethernet linecards are not supported. • Chassis types that are not similar cannot be connected to form an nV edge system. • Only Cisco supported SFPs are allowed for all inter rack connections. • TenGigE SFPs are not supported on EOBC ports. • The nV Edge control plane links have to be direct physical connections and no network or intermediate routing or switching devices are allowed in between. • The nV Edge system does not support mixed speed links. Implementing a Cisco ASR 9000 Series nV Edge System This section explains the implementation of Cisco ASR 9000 Series nV Edge System. • Configuring Cisco ASR 9000 nV Edge System, page 738 Configuring Cisco ASR 9000 nV Edge System To bring up the Cisco ASR 9000 nV Cluster, you need to perform these steps outlined in the following subsection. Single Chassis to Cluster Migration Consider that there are two individual chassis running Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.0 image. Let us refer them as rack0 and rack1 in these steps. If they are already running Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.1 or later, you can avoid the first two steps. 1. You must turbo boot each chassis independently with the Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.1. 2. Upgrade the field programmable devices (FPDs). This step is required because Cisco ASR 9000 Series nV Edge requires at least the RSP rommons to be corresponding to the Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.1. 3. Collect information: You need to know the chassis serial number for each rack that is to be added to the cluster. On an operating system, you can get this from show inventory chassis command. On a system at rommon, you can get the serial number from bpcookie. 4. In order to setup the admin configuration on rack0, enter: (admin config) # nv edge control serial rack 0 (admin config) # nv edge control serial rack 1 (admin config) # commit 5. Reload Rack 0. 6. Power down Rack 1.Configuring the nV Edge System on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Configuration Examples for nV Edge System HC-739 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide OL-26061-02 7. Physically connect the routers. Connect the inter chassis control links on the front panel of the RSP cards (labelled SFP+ 0 and SFP+ 1) together. Rack0-RSP0 connects to Rack1-RSP0, and similarly for RSP1. You can verify the connections once Rack 1 is up using the show nv edge control interface loc 0/RSP0/CPU0 command.

Bring up Rack 1. 9. You must also connect your Interchassis Data links. You must configure it to be interchassis data link interface using the nv edge interface configuration command under the 10Gig interface (only 10Gig) . Ensure that this configuration on both sides of the inter chassis data link (on rack0 and rack1). Note You can verify the Interchassis Data Link operation using the show nv edge data forwarding command. 10. After Rack0 and Rack1 comes up fully with all the RSPs and line cards in XR-RUN state, the show dsc and show redundancy summary commands must have similar command outputs as shown in nV Edge System Configuration: Example section.

Carrier Grade NAT Overview and Benefits To implement the Carrier Grade NAT, you should understand the following concepts: • Carrier Grade NAT Overview, page 2 • Benefits of Carrier Grade NAT, page 3 • NAT and NAPT Overview, page 3 • Network Address and Port Mapping, page 4 Carrier Grade NAT Overview Carrier Grade Network Address Translation (CGN) is a large scale NAT that is capable of providing private IPv4 to public IPv4 address translation in the order of millions of translations to support a large number of subscribers, and at least 10 Gbps full-duplex bandwidth throughput.Implementing the Carrier Grade NAT on Cisco IOS XR Software Carrier Grade NAT Overview and Benefits CGC-3 Cisco IOS XR Carrier Grade NAT Configuration Guide for the CRS Router OL-26122-02 CGN is a workable solution to the IPv4 address completion problem, and offers a way for service provider subscribers and content providers to implement a seamless transition to IPv6. CGN employs network address and port translation (NAPT) methods to aggregate many private IP addresses into fewer public IPv4 addresses. For example, a single public IPv4 address with a pool of 32 K port numbers supports 320 individual private IP subscribers assuming each subscriber requires 100 ports. For example, each TCP connection needs one port number. A CGN requires IPv6 to assist with the transition from IPv4 to IPv6. Benefits of Carrier Grade NAT CGN offers these benefits: • Enables service providers to execute orderly transitions to IPv6 through mixed IPv4 and IPv6 networks. • Provides address family translation but not limited to just translation within one address family. • Delivers a comprehensive solution suite for IP address management and IPv6 transition. IPv4 Address Shortage A fixed-size resource such as the 32-bit public IPv4 address space will run out in a few years. Therefore, the IPv4 address shortage presents a significant and major challenge to all service providers who depend on large blocks of public or private IPv4 addresses for provisioning and managing their customers. Service providers cannot easily allocate sufficient public IPv4 address space to support new customers that need to access the public IPv4 Internet. NAT and NAPT Overview A Network Address Translation (NAT) box is positioned between private and public IP networks that are addressed with non-global private addresses and a public IP addresses respectively. A NAT performs the task of mapping one or many private (or internal) IP addresses into one public IP address by employing both network address and port translation (NAPT) techniques. The mappings, otherwise referred to as bindings, are typically created when a private IPv4 host located behind the NAT initiates a connection (for example, TCP SYN) with a public IPv4 host. The NAT intercepts the packet to perform these functions: • Rewrites the private IP host source address and port values with its own IP source address and port values • Stores the private-to-public binding information in a table and sends the packet. When the public IP host returns a packet, it is addressed to the NAT. The stored binding information is used to replace the IP destination address and port values with the private IP host address and port values. Traditionally, NAT boxes are deployed in the residential home gateway (HGW) to translate multiple private IP addresses. The NAT boxes are configured on multiple devices inside the home to a single public IP address, which are configured and provisioned on the HGW by the service provider. In enterprise scenarios, you can use the NAT functions combined with the firewall to offer security protection for corporate resources and allow for provider-independent IPv4 addresses. NATs have made it easier for private IP home networks to flourish independently from service provider IP address provisioning. Enterprises can permanently employ private IP addressing for Intranet connectivity while Implementing the Carrier Grade NAT on Cisco IOS XR Software Information About Implementing Carrier Grade NAT CGC-4 Cisco IOS XR Carrier Grade NAT Configuration Guide for the CRS Router OL-26122-02 relying on a few NAT boxes, and public IPv4 addresses for external public Internet connectivity. NAT boxes in conjunction with classic methods such as Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) have slowed public IPv4 address consumption. Network Address and Port Mapping Network address and port mapping can be reused to map new sessions to external endpoints after establishing a first mapping between an internal address and port to an external address. These NAT mapping definitions are defined from RFC 4787: • Endpoint-independent mapping—Reuses the port mapping for subsequent packets that are sent from the same internal IP address and port to any external IP address and port. • Address-dependent mapping—Reuses the port mapping for subsequent packets that are sent from the same internal IP address and port to the same external IP address, regardless of the external port. Translation Filtering RFC 4787 provides translation filtering behaviors for NATs. These options are used by NAT to filter packets originating from specific external endpoints: • Endpoint-independent filtering—Filters out only packets that are not destined to the internal address and port regardless of the external IP address and port source. • Address-dependent filtering—Filters out packets that are not destined to the internal address. In addition, NAT filters out packets that are destined for the internal endpoint. • Address and port-dependent filtering—Filters out packets that are not destined to the internal address. In addition, NAT filets out packets that are destined for the internal endpoint if the packets were not sent previously. Information About Implementing Carrier Grade NAT These sections provide the information about implementation of NAT using ICMP and TCP: • Implementing NAT with ICMP, page 5 • Implementing NAT with TCP, page 5 • Double NAT 444, page 6 • Address Family Translation, page 6 • Policy Functions, page 6 • Cisco Carrier-Grade Service Engine (CGSE) Applications, page 7Implementing the Carrier Grade NAT on Cisco IOS XR Software Information About Implementing Carrier Grade NAT CGC-5 Cisco IOS XR Carrier Grade NAT Configuration Guide for the CRS Router OL-26122-02 Implementing NAT with ICMP This section explains how the Network Address Translation (NAT) devices work in conjunction with Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP). The implementations of NAT varies in terms of how they handle different traffic. • ICMP Query Session Timeout, page 5 • Implementing NAT with TCP, page 5 ICMP Query Session Timeout RFC 5508 provides ICMP Query Session timeouts. A mapping timeout is maintained by NATs for ICMP queries that traverse them. The ICMP Query Session timeout is the period during which a mapping will stay active without packets traversing the NATs. The timeouts can be set as either Maximum Round Trip Time (Maximum RTT) or Maximum Segment Lifetime (MSL). For the purpose of constraining the maximum RTT, the Maximum Segment Lifetime (MSL) is considered a guideline to set packet lifetime. If the ICMP NAT session timeout is set to a very large duration (240 seconds) it can tie up precious NAT resources such as Query mappings and NAT Sessions for the whole duration. Also, if the timeout is set to very low it can result in premature freeing of NAT resources and applications failing to complete gracefully. The ICMP Query session timeout needs to be a balance between the two extremes. A 60-second timeout is a balance between the two extremes. Implementing NAT with TCP This section explains the various NAT behaviors that are applicable to TCP connection initiation. The detailed NAT with TCP functionality is defined in RFC 5382. Address and Port Mapping Behavior A NAT translates packets for each TCP connection using the mapping. A mapping is dynamically allocated for connections initiated from the internal side, and potentially reused for certain connections later. Internally Initiated Connections A TCP connection is initiated by internal endpoints through a NAT by sending SYN packet. All the external IP address and port used for translation for that connection are defined in the mapping. Generally for the client-server applications where an internal client initiates the connection to an external server, to translate the outbound SYN, the resulting inbound SYN-ACK response mapping is used, the subsequent outbound ACK, and other packets for the connection. The 3-way handshake corresponds to method of connection initiation. Externally Initiated Connections For the first connection that is initiated by an internal endpoint NAT allocates the mapping. For some situations, the NAT policy may allow reusing of this mapping for connection initiated from the external side to the internal endpoint.Implementing the Carrier Grade NAT on Cisco IOS XR Software Information About Implementing Carrier Grade NAT CGC-6 Cisco IOS XR Carrier Grade NAT Configuration Guide for the CRS Router OL-26122-02 Double NAT 444 The Double NAT 444 solution offers the fastest and simplest way to address the IPv4 depletion problem without requiring an upgrade to IPv6 anywhere in the network. Service providers can continue offering new IPv4 customers access to the public IPv4 Internet by using private IPv4 address blocks, if the service provider is large enough; However, they need to have an overlapping RFC 1918 address space, which forces the service provider to partition their network management systems and creates complexity with access control lists (ACL). Double NAT 444 uses the edge NAT and CGN to hold the translation state for each session. For example, both NATs must hold 100 entries in their respective translation tables if all the hosts in the residence of a subscriber have 100 connections to hosts on the Internet). There is no easy way for a private IPv4 host to communicate with the CGN to learn its public IP address and port information or to configure a static incoming port forwarding. Address Family Translation The IPv6-only to IPv4-only protocol is referred to as address family translation (AFT). The AFT translates the IP address from one address family into another address family. For example, IPv6 to IPv4 translation is called NAT 64 or IPv4 to IPv6 translation is called NAT 46. Policy Functions • Application Level Gateway, page 6 • TCP Maximum Segment Size Adjustment, page 7 • Static Port Forwarding, page 7 • External Logging, page 7 • Cisco Carrier-Grade Service Engine (CGSE) Applications, page 7 • IPv4/IPv6 Stateless Translator (XLAT), page 7 • IPv6 Rapid Depolyment (6RD), page 9 • Stateful NAT64, page 9 • Dual Stack Lite Feature, page 11 • Syslog support, page 11 • Bulk Port Allocation, page 12 Application Level Gateway The application level gateway (ALG) deals with the applications that are embedded in the IP address payload. Active FTP and RTSP ALG are supported. CGN supports both passive and active FTP. FTP clients are supported with inside (private) address and servers with outside (public) addresses. Passive FTP is provided by the basic NAT function. Active FTP is used with the ALG.Implementing the Carrier Grade NAT on Cisco IOS XR Software Information About Implementing Carrier Grade NAT CGC-7 Cisco IOS XR Carrier Grade NAT Configuration Guide for the CRS Router OL-26122-02 TCP Maximum Segment Size Adjustment When a host initiates a TCP session with a server, the host negotiates the IP segment size by using the maximum segment size (MSS) option. The value of the MSS option is determined by the maximum transmission unit (MTU) that is configured on the host. Static Port Forwarding Static port forwarding helps in associating a private IP address and port with a statically allocated public IP and port. After you have configured static port forwarding, this association remains intact and does not get removed due to timeouts until the CGSE is rebooted. In case of redundant CGSE cards, it remains intact until both of the CGSEs are reloaded together or the router is reloaded. There are remote chances that after a reboot, this association might change. This feature helps in cases where server applications running on the private network needs access from public internet. External Logging External logging configures the export and logging of the NAT table entries, private bindings that are associated with a particular global IP port address, and to use Netflow to export the NAT table entries. Cisco Carrier-Grade Service Engine (CGSE) Applications A Carrier-Grade Services Engine (CGSE) is a physical line interface module (PLIM). When the CGSE is attached to a single CRS modular service card (forwarding engine), it provides the hardware system running applications such as NAT44, XLAT, Stateful NAT64 and DS Lite. An individual application module consumes one CRS linecard slot. Multiple modules can be placed inside a single CRS chassis to add capacity, scale, and redundancy. There can be only one ServiceInfra SVI per CGSE Slot. This is used for the Management Plane and is required to bring up CGSE. This is of local significance within the chassis. ServiceApp SVI is used to forward the data traffic to the CGSE applications. You can scale up to 256 ServiceApp interfaces for each CGSE. These interfaces can be advertised in IGP/EGP. IPv4/IPv6 Stateless Translator (XLAT) IPv4/IPv6 Stateless Translator (XLAT), which runs on the CRS Carrier Grade Services Engine (CGSE), enables an IPv4-only endpoint that is situated in an IPv4-only network, to communicate with an IPv6-only end-point that is situated in an IPv6-only network. This like-to-unlike address family connectivity paradigm provides backwards compatibility between IPv6 and IPv4. A Stateless XLAT (SL-XLAT) does not create or maintain any per-session or per-flow data structures. It is an algorithmic operation performed on the IP packet headers that results in the translation of an IPv4 packet to an IPv6 packet, and vice-versa. SL-XLAT requires Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.9.3 or 4.0.1 or 4.1.0 or later. Advantages of XLAT These are the advantages of a stateless translator: • No states maintained in a SL-XLAT. Also, it supports 1:1 IPv6 to IPv4 address mappings. This means that one IPv4 address is consumed for each IPv6 to IPv4 translation.Implementing the Carrier Grade NAT on Cisco IOS XR Software Information About Implementing Carrier Grade NAT CGC-8 Cisco IOS XR Carrier Grade NAT Configuration Guide for the CRS Router OL-26122-02 • It supports asymmetric packet flows. Because it is stateless, it is not necessary to pin individual session flows in both directions to a particular SL-XLAT vehicle. • It offers basic IP transit between IPv4 and IPv6 networks.Implementing the Carrier Grade NAT on Cisco IOS XR Software Information About Implementing Carrier Grade NAT CGC-9 Cisco IOS XR Carrier Grade NAT Configuration Guide for the CRS Router OL-26122-02 IPv6 Rapid Depolyment (6RD) IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6RD) is a mechanism that allows service providers to provide a unicast IPv6 service to customers over their IPv4 network. 6RD Definitions • 6RD CE /RG/CPE: The 6rd "Customer Edge" router that sits between an IPv6-enabled site and an IPv4-enabled SP network. In the context of residential broadband deployment, this is referred to as the Residential Gateway (RG) or Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) or Internet Gateway Device (IGD). This router has a 6rd tunnel interface acting as an endpoint for the IPv6 in IPv4 encapsulation and forwarding, with at least one 6rd CE LAN side interface and 6rd CE WAN side interface, respectively. • 6RD Border Relay (BR): A 6rd-enabled Border Relay router located at the service provider’s premises. The 6rd BR router has at least one IPv4 interface, a 6rd tunnel interface for multi-point tunneling, and at least one IPv6 interface that is reachable through the IPv6 Internet or IPv6-enabled portion of the SP network. A router running IOS can also be a 6RD BR. • 6RD Delegated Prefix: The IPv6 prefix determined by the 6rd CE device for use by hosts within the customer site. • 6RD Prefix (SP Prefix) : An IPv6 prefix selected by the service provider for use by a 6rd domain. There is exactly one 6rd prefix for a given 6rd domain. • CE LAN side : The functionality of a 6rd CE that serves the Local Area Network (LAN) or customer-facing side of the CE. The CE LAN side interface is fully IPv6 enabled. • CE WAN side : The functionality of a 6rd CE that serves the Wide Area Network (WAN) or Service Provider- facing side of the CE. The CE WAN side is IPv4 only. • BR IPv4 address : The IPv4 address of the 6rd Border Relay for a given 6rd domain. This IPv4 address is used by the CE to send packets to a BR in order to reach IPv6 destinations outside of the 6rd domain. CE IPv4 address : The IPv4 address given to the CE as part of normal IPv4 Internet access (configured through DHCP, PPP, or otherwise). This address may be global or private within the 6rd domain. This address is used by a 6rd CE to create the 6rd delegated prefix, as well as to send and receive IPv4-encapsulated IPv6 packets. Stateful NAT64 The Stateful NAT64 (Network Address Translation 64) feature provides a translation mechanism that translates IPv6 packets into IPv4 packets and vice versa. NAT64 allows IPv6-only clients to contact IPv4 servers using unicast UDP, TCP, or ICMP. The public IPv4 address can be shared with several IPv6-only clients. NAT64 supports communication between: • IPv6 Network and Public IPv4 Internet • Public IPv6 Internet and IPv4 Network NAT64 is implemented on the Cisco CRS router CGSE platform. CGSE (Carrier Grade Service Engine) has four octeons and supports 20 Gbps full duplex traffic. It works on Linux operating system and traffic into CGSE is forwarded using serviceApp interfaces. SVIs (Service Virtual Interfaces) are configured to enable traffic to flow in and out of CGSE. Each NAT64 instance configured is associated with two serviceApps for the following purposes: • One serviceApp is used to carry traffic from IPv6 sideImplementing the Carrier Grade NAT on Cisco IOS XR Software Information About Implementing Carrier Grade NAT CGC-10 Cisco IOS XR Carrier Grade NAT Configuration Guide for the CRS Router OL-26122-02 • Another serviceApp is used to carry traffic from IPv4 side of the NAT64. NAT64 instance parameters are configured using the CGN CLI. The NAT64 application in the octeons updates its NAT64 instance and serviceApp databases, which are used to perform the translation between IPv6 and IPv4 and vice versa. Active CGN instance configuration is replicated in the standby CGN instance through the XR control plane. Translations that are established on the Active CGN instance are exported to the Standby CGN instance as the failure of the Active CGN affects the service until translations are re-established through normal packet flow. Service interruption is moderate for the given fault detection time and translation learning rate in terms of seconds or tens of seconds for a large translation database. Functionalities Supported in Stateful NAT64 These functionalities are supported in NAT64 implementation: • TCP, UDP, and ICMP protocol NAT64 • IPv4 to IPv6 header translation and vice versa • End point independent mapping • Address dependant filtering • Multiple Address Pools • Well known prefix handling • Netflowv9 logging • TCP/UDP/ICMP fragments handling • IP options and ICMP error handling • Protocol based session timers • Destination based session timers • Hairpinning • DNS64 being decoupled and NAT64 working with decoupled DNS64 • Multiple NAT64 instances each having configurable options • XML support for configuration and show commands • CLI consistent with other CGv6 applications Note A maximum of 64 NAT64 instances are supported in the NAT64 configuration. These are the configuration parameters for a NAT64 instance: • NAT64 Prefix—Indicates IPv6 prefix (for mapping destination IPv4 address – default WKP 64:FF9B::/96) • NAT64 Prefix Length—Indicates IPv6 NAT64 prefix length (/32, to /96) • NAT64 IPv4 map address pool—Indicates outside IPv4 address space for this NAT64 instance • IPv4 serviceApp and IPv6 serviceApp interfaces for the instance • u-bit-reserved flag—When this configuration is enabled, bits in the range 64-71 in the IPv6 addresses are reserved for several purposes including U-Bit. These bits are not used for translation purposes.Implementing the Carrier Grade NAT on Cisco IOS XR Software Information About Implementing Carrier Grade NAT CGC-11 Cisco IOS XR Carrier Grade NAT Configuration Guide for the CRS Router OL-26122-02 • Static port configuration—This is a protocol based configuration which specifies source IPv6 address that needs static mapping to the outside IPv4 • Protocol based timeouts—Indicates active/init timeouts and per destination IP/port timeouts • tcp mss—Indicates the tcp mss value to be used while translating packets • tos, traffic class, df override related flags similar to NAT64 stateless • Netflow information • Address dependant filtering enabling • Port limit • Destination based active timeouts • Fragment handling timeouts. Dual Stack Lite Feature The Dual Stack Lite (DS-Lite) feature enables legacy IPv4 hosts and server communication over both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Also, IPv4 hosts may need to access IPv4 internet over an IPv6 access network. The IPv4 hosts will have private addresses which need to have network address translation (NAT) completed before reaching the IPv4 internet. The Dual Stack Lite application has these components: • Basic Bridging BroadBand Element (B4): This is a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) router that is attached to the end hosts. The IPv4 packets entering B4 are encapsulated using a IPv6 tunnel and sent to the Address Family Transition Router (AFTR). • Address Family Transition Router(AFTR): This is the router that terminates the tunnel from the B4. It decapsulates the tunneled IPv4 packet, translates the network address and routes to the IPv4 network. In the reverse direction, IPv4 packets coming from the internet are reverse network address translated and the resultant IPv4 packets are sent the B4 using a IPv6 tunnel. The Dual Stack Lite feature helps in these functions: 1. Tunnelling IPv4 packets from CE devices over IPv6 tunnels to the CGSE blade. 2. Decapsulating the IPv4 packet and sending the decapsulated content to the IPv4 internet after completing network address translation. 3. In the reverse direction completing reverse-network address translation and then tunnelling them over IPv6 tunnels to the CPE device. IPv6 traffic from the CPE device is natively forwarded. Syslog support The NAT44, Stateful NAT64, and DS Lite features support Netflow for logging of the translation records. Logging of the translation records can be mandated by for Lawful Intercept. The Netflow uses binary format and hence requires software to parse and present the translation records. In Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.1 and later, the DS Lite and NAT44 features support Syslog as an alternative to Netflow. Syslog uses ASCII format and hence can be read by users. However, the log data volume is higher in Syslog than Netflow.Implementing the Carrier Grade NAT on Cisco IOS XR Software Implementing Carrier Grade NAT on Cisco IOS XR Software CGC-12 Cisco IOS XR Carrier Grade NAT Configuration Guide for the CRS Router OL-26122-02 Attributes of Syslog Collector 1. Syslog is supported in ASCII format only. 2. Logging to multiple syslog collectors (or relay agents) is not supported. 3. Syslog is supported for DS-Lite and NAT444 in the Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.1. Bulk Port Allocation The creation and deletion of NAT sessions need to be logged and these create huge amount of data. These are stored on Syslog collector which is supported over UDP. In order to reduce the volume of data generated by the NAT device, bulk port allocation can be enabled. When bulk port allocation is enabled and when a subscriber creates the first session, a number of contiguous outside ports are pre-allocated. A bulk allocation message is logged indicating this allocation. Subsequent session creations will use one of the pre-allocated port and hence does not require logging.

CGv6 Overview and Benefits To implement the CGv6, you should understand the following concepts: • CGv6 Overview, page 2 • Benefits of CGv6, page 2 • NAT44 or CGN Overview, page 3 • DS-Lite Overview, page 4 CGv6 Overview Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) has reached exhaustion at the international level (IANA). But service providers must maintain and continue to accelerate growth. Billions of new devices such as mobile phones, portable multimedia devices, sensors, and controllers are demanding Internet connectivity at an increasing rate. The Cisco Carrier Grade IPv6 Solution (CGv6) is designed to help address these challenges. With Cisco CGv6, you can: • Preserve investments in IPv4 infrastructure, assets, and delivery models. • Prepare for the smooth, incremental transition to IPv6 services that are interoperable with IPv4. • Prosper through accelerated subscriber, device, and service growth that are enabled by the efficiencies that IPv6 can deliver. Cisco CGv6 extends the already wide array of IPv6 platforms, solutions, and services. Cisco CGv6 helps you build a bridge to the future of the Internet with IPv6. Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router is part of the Cisco CGv6 solution portfolio and therefore different CGv6 solutions or applications are implemented on this platform (specifically on ISM service card). In Cisco IOS XR Release 4.2.0, CGN or NAT44 application is delivered as the first application. In Cisco IOS XR Release 4.2.1, the DS-Lite feature is added. Additional CGv6 applications will be delivered in future releases. Benefits of CGv6 CGv6 offers these benefits:Implementing the Carrier Grade IPv6 on Cisco IOS XR Software CGv6 Overview and Benefits CG-3 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Carrier Grade IPv6 (CGv6) Configuration OL-26555-02 • Enables service providers to execute orderly transitions to IPv6 through mixed IPv4 and IPv6 networks. • Provides address family translation but not limited to just translation within one address family. • Delivers a comprehensive solution suite for IP address management and IPv6 transition. IPv4 Address Shortage A fixed-size resource such as the 32-bit public IPv4 address space will run out in a few years. Therefore, the IPv4 address shortage presents a significant and major challenge to all service providers who depend on large blocks of public or private IPv4 addresses for provisioning and managing their customers. Service providers cannot easily allocate sufficient public IPv4 address space to support new customers that need to access the public IPv4 Internet. NAT44 or CGN Overview Carrier Grade Network Address Translation (CGN) is a large scale NAT that is capable of providing private IPv4 to public IPv4 address translation in the order of millions of translations to support a large number of subscribers, and at least 10 Gbps full-duplex bandwidth throughput. CGN is a workable solution to the IPv4 address completion problem, and offers a way for service provider subscribers and content providers to implement a seamless transition to IPv6. CGN employs network address and port translation (NAPT) methods to aggregate many private IP addresses into fewer public IPv4 addresses. For example, a single public IPv4 address with a pool of 32 K port numbers supports 320 individual private IP subscribers assuming each subscriber requires 100 ports. For example, each TCP connection needs one port number. A Network Address Translation (NAT) box is positioned between private and public IP networks that are addressed with non-global private addresses and a public IP addresses respectively. A NAT performs the task of mapping one or many private (or internal) IP addresses into one public IP address by employing both network address and port translation (NAPT) techniques. The mappings, otherwise referred to as bindings, are typically created when a private IPv4 host located behind the NAT initiates a connection (for example, TCP SYN) with a public IPv4 host. The NAT intercepts the packet to perform these functions: • Rewrites the private IP host source address and port values with its own IP source address and port values • Stores the private-to-public binding information in a table and sends the packet. When the public IP host returns a packet, it is addressed to the NAT. The stored binding information is used to replace the IP destination address and port values with the private IP host address and port values. Traditionally, NAT boxes are deployed in the residential home gateway (HGW) to translate multiple private IP addresses. The NAT boxes are configured on multiple devices inside the home to a single public IP address, which are configured and provisioned on the HGW by the service provider. In enterprise scenarios, you can use the NAT functions combined with the firewall to offer security protection for corporate resources and allow for provider-independent IPv4 addresses. NATs have made it easier for private IP home networks to flourish independently from service provider IP address provisioning. Enterprises can permanently employ private IP addressing for Intranet connectivity while relying on a few NAT boxes, and public IPv4 addresses for external public Internet connectivity. NAT boxes in conjunction with classic methods such as Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) have slowed public IPv4 address consumption.Implementing the Carrier Grade IPv6 on Cisco IOS XR Software CGv6 Overview and Benefits CG-4 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Carrier Grade IPv6 (CGv6) Configuration OL-26555-02 Network Address and Port Mapping Network address and port mapping can be reused to map new sessions to external endpoints after establishing a first mapping between an internal address and port to an external address. These NAT mapping definitions are defined from RFC 4787: • Endpoint-independent mapping—Reuses the port mapping for subsequent packets that are sent from the same internal IP address and port to any external IP address and port. • Address-dependent mapping—Reuses the port mapping for subsequent packets that are sent from the same internal IP address and port to the same external IP address, regardless of the external port. Note CGN on ISM implements Endpoint-independent Mapping. Translation Filtering RFC 4787 provides translation filtering behaviors for NATs. These options are used by NAT to filter packets originating from specific external endpoints: • Endpoint-independent filtering—Filters out only packets that are not destined to the internal address and port regardless of the external IP address and port source. • Address-dependent filtering—Filters out packets that are not destined to the internal address. In addition, NAT filters out packets that are destined for the internal endpoint. • Address and port-dependent filtering—Filters out packets that are not destined to the internal address. In addition, NAT filets out packets that are destined for the internal endpoint if the packets were not sent previously. Note CGN on ISM implements Endpoint-independent Filtering. DS-Lite Overview The Dual Stack Lite (DS-Lite) feature enables legacy IPv4 hosts and server communication over both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Also, IPv4 hosts may need to access IPv4 internet over an IPv6 access network. The IPv4 hosts will have private addresses which need to have network address translation (NAT) completed before reaching the IPv4 internet. The Dual Stack Lite application has these two components: • Basic Bridging BroadBand Element (B4): This is a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) router that is attached to the end hosts. The IPv4 packets entering B4 are encapsulated using a IPv6 tunnel and sent to the Address Family Transition Router (AFTR). • Address Family Transition Router(AFTR): This is the router that terminates the tunnel from the B4. It decapsulates the tunneled IPv4 packet, translates the network address and routes to the IPv4 network. In the reverse direction, IPv4 packets coming from the internet are reverse network address translated and the resultant IPv4 packets are sent the B4 using a IPv6 tunnel. The Dual Stack Lite feature helps in these functions: • Tunnelling IPv4 packets from CE devices over IPv6 tunnels to the ISM blade. • Decapsulating the IPv4 packet and sending the decapsulated content to the IPv4 internet after completing network address translation.Implementing the Carrier Grade IPv6 on Cisco IOS XR Software Information About Implementing CGv6 CG-5 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Carrier Grade IPv6 (CGv6) Configuration OL-26555-02 • In the reverse direction completing reverse-network address translation and then tunnelling them over IPv6 tunnels to the CPE device. IPv6 traffic from the CPE device is natively forwarded. Note The number of DS-Lite instances supported on the Integrated Service Module (ISM) line card is 64. Scalability and Performance of DS Lite The DS-Lite feature pulls translation entries from the same pool as the NAT44. • Supports a total of 20 million sessions. • Number of unique users behind B4 router, basically IPv6 and IPv4 Source tuple, can scale to 1 million. There is no real limit to the number of B4 routers and their associated tunnels connecting to the AFTR, except the session limit, which is 20 million B4 routers (assuming each router has only one session). In reality, a maximum of 1 million B4 routers can connect to an AFTR at any given time. The performance of DS-Lite traffic, combined IPv4 and IPv6, is 10 Gbps. Information About Implementing CGv6 These sections provide the information about implementation of NAT using ICMP and TCP: • Implementing NAT with ICMP, page 5 • Double NAT 444, page 6 • Policy Functions, page 6 • External Logging, page 6 Implementing NAT with ICMP This section explains how the Network Address Translation (NAT) devices work in conjunction with Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP). The implementations of NAT varies in terms of how they handle different traffic. ICMP Query Session Timeout RFC 5508 provides ICMP Query Session timeouts. A mapping timeout is maintained by NATs for ICMP queries that traverse them. The ICMP Query Session timeout is the period during which a mapping will stay active without packets traversing the NATs. The timeouts can be set as either Maximum Round Trip Time (Maximum RTT) or Maximum Segment Lifetime (MSL). For the purpose of constraining the maximum RTT, the Maximum Segment Lifetime (MSL) is considered a guideline to set packet lifetime. If the ICMP NAT session timeout is set to a very large duration (240 seconds) it can tie up precious NAT resources such as Query mappings and NAT Sessions for the whole duration. Also, if the timeout is set to very low it can result in premature freeing of NAT resources and applications failing to complete gracefully. The ICMP Query session timeout needs to be a balance between the two extremes. A 60-second timeout is a balance between the two extremes.Implementing the Carrier Grade IPv6 on Cisco IOS XR Software Information About Implementing CGv6 CG-6 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Carrier Grade IPv6 (CGv6) Configuration OL-26555-02 Double NAT 444 The Double NAT 444 solution offers the fastest and simplest way to address the IPv4 depletion problem without requiring an upgrade to IPv6 anywhere in the network. Service providers can continue offering new IPv4 customers access to the public IPv4 Internet by using private IPv4 address blocks, if the service provider is large enough; However, they need to have an overlapping RFC 1918 address space, which forces the service provider to partition their network management systems and creates complexity with access control lists (ACL). Double NAT 444 uses the edge NAT and CGv6 to hold the translation state for each session. For example, both NATs must hold 100 entries in their respective translation tables if all the hosts in the residence of a subscriber have 100 connections to hosts on the Internet). There is no easy way for a private IPv4 host to communicate with the CGv6 to learn its public IP address and port information or to configure a static incoming port forwarding. Policy Functions • Application Level Gateway, page 6 • TCP Maximum Segment Size Adjustment, page 6 • Static Port Forwarding, page 6 Application Level Gateway The application level gateway (ALG) deals with the applications that are embedded in the IP address payload. CGv6 supports both passive and active FTP. FTP clients are supported with inside (private) address and servers with outside (public) addresses. Passive FTP is provided by the basic NAT function. Active FTP is used with the ALG. TCP Maximum Segment Size Adjustment When a host initiates a TCP session with a server, the host negotiates the IP segment size by using the maximum segment size (MSS) option. The value of the MSS option is determined by the maximum transmission unit (MTU) that is configured on the host. Static Port Forwarding Static port forwarding configures a fixed, private (internal) IP address and port that are associated with a particular subscriber while CGv6 allocates a free public IP address and port. Therefore, the inside IP address and port are associated to a free outside IP address and port. External Logging External logging configures the export and logging of the NAT table entries, private bindings that are associated with a particular global IP port address, and to use Netflow to export the NAT table entries.Implementing the Carrier Grade IPv6 on Cisco IOS XR Software Cisco Integrated Service Module (ISM) CG-7 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Carrier Grade IPv6 (CGv6) Configuration OL-26555-02 Netflow v9 Support The NAT44 and DS Lite features support Netflow for logging of the translation records. Logging of the translation records can be mandated by for Lawful Intercept. The Netflow uses binary format and hence requires software to parse and present the translation records. Syslog Support In Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.1 and later, the DS Lite and NAT44 features support Syslog as an alternative to Netflow. Syslog uses ASCII format and hence can be read by users. However, the log data volume is higher in Syslog than Netflow. Attributes of Syslog Collector • Syslog is supported in ASCII format only. • Logging to multiple syslog collectors (or relay agents) is not supported. • Syslog is supported for DS-Lite and NAT444 in the Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.1. Bulk Port Allocation The creation and deletion of NAT sessions need to be logged and these create huge amount of data. These are stored on Syslog collector which is supported over UDP. In order to reduce the volume of data generated by the NAT device, bulk port allocation can be enabled. When bulk port allocation is enabled and when a subscriber creates the first session, a number of contiguous outside ports are pre-allocated. A bulk allocation message is logged indicating this allocation. Subsequent session creations will use one of the pre-allocated port and hence does not require logging.

This is to ensure that the ServiceApp pairs works with a maximum throughput. For example, ServiceApp1 with ServiceApp2 or ServiceApp3 with ServiceApp4 • Pair ServiceApp with ServiceApp or ServiceApp, and so on, where is an odd integer. However, maintaining a track of these associations can be error prone. For example, ServiceApp1 with ServiceApp6, ServiceApp1 with ServiceApp10, ServiceApp3 with ServiceApp8, or ServiceApp3 with ServiceApp12 • Pair ServiceApp with ServiceApp, where is an integer (odd or even integer). For example, ServiceApp1 with ServiceApp5, or ServiceApp2 with ServiceApp6. Although such ServiceApp pairs work, the aggregate throughput for Inside-to-Outside and Outside-to-Inside traffic for the ServiceApp pair is halved. • Do not pair ServiceApp with ServiceApp, where is an even integer. When used, Outside-to-Inside traffic is dropped becasue traffic flows in the wrong dispatcher and core. • Do not pair ServiceApp with ServiceApp, where is an integer. When used, Outside-to-Inside traffic is dropped becasue traffic flows in the wrong dispatcher and core. One ServiceApp pair can be used as inside and the other as outside.

The security appliance includes many advanced features, such as multiple security contexts (similar to virtualized firewalls), transparent (Layer 2) firewall or routed (Layer 3) firewall operation, advanced inspection engines, IPSec and WebVPN support, and many more features. See Appendix A, “Feature Licenses and Specifications,” for a list of supported platforms and features. For a list of new features, see the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Release Notes or the Cisco PIX Security Appliance Release Notes. Note The Cisco PIX 501 and PIX 506E security appliances are not supported. This chapter includes the following sections: • Firewall Functional Overview, page 1-1 • VPN Functional Overview, page 1-5 • Intrusion Prevention Services Functional Overview, page 1-5 • Security Context Overview, page 1-6 Firewall Functional Overview Firewalls protect inside networks from unauthorized access by users on an outside network. A firewall can also protect inside networks from each other, for example, by keeping a human resources network separate from a user network. If you have network resources that need to be available to an outside user, such as a web or FTP server, you can place these resources on a separate network behind the firewall, called a demilitarized zone (DMZ). The firewall allows limited access to the DMZ, but because the DMZ only includes the public servers, an attack there only affects the servers and does not affect the other inside networks. You can also control when inside users access outside networks (for example, access to the Internet), by allowing only certain addresses out, by requiring authentication or authorization, or by coordinating with an external URL filtering server. When discussing networks connected to a firewall, the outside network is in front of the firewall, the inside network is protected and behind the firewall, and a DMZ, while behind the firewall, allows limited access to outside users. Because the security appliance lets you configure many interfaces with varied security policies, including many inside interfaces, many DMZs, and even many outside interfaces if desired, these terms are used in a general sense only.1-2 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 1 Introduction to the Security Appliance Firewall Functional Overview This section includes the following topics: • Security Policy Overview, page 1-2 • Firewall Mode Overview, page 1-3 • Stateful Inspection Overview, page 1-4 Security Policy Overview A security policy determines which traffic is allowed to pass through the firewall to access another network. By default, the security appliance allows traffic to flow freely from an inside network (higher security level) to an outside network (lower security level). You can apply actions to traffic to customize the security policy. This section includes the following topics: • Permitting or Denying Traffic with Access Lists, page 1-2 • Applying NAT, page 1-2 • Using AAA for Through Traffic, page 1-2 • Applying HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP Filtering, page 1-3 • Applying Application Inspection, page 1-3 • Sending Traffic to the Advanced Inspection and Prevention Security Services Module, page 1-3 • Sending Traffic to the Content Security and Control Security Services Module, page 1-3 • Applying QoS Policies, page 1-3 • Applying Connection Limits and TCP Normalization, page 1-3 Permitting or Denying Traffic with Access Lists You can apply an access list to limit traffic from inside to outside, or allow traffic from outside to inside. For transparent firewall mode, you can also apply an EtherType access list to allow non-IP traffic. Applying NAT Some of the benefits of NAT include the following: • You can use private addresses on your inside networks. Private addresses are not routable on the Internet. • NAT hides the local addresses from other networks, so attackers cannot learn the real address of a host. • NAT can resolve IP routing problems by supporting overlapping IP addresses. Using AAA for Through Traffic You can require authentication and/or authorization for certain types of traffic, for example, for HTTP. The security appliance also sends accounting information to a RADIUS or TACACS+ server.1-3 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 1 Introduction to the Security Appliance Firewall Functional Overview Applying HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP Filtering Although you can use access lists to prevent outbound access to specific websites or FTP servers, configuring and managing web usage this way is not practical because of the size and dynamic nature of the Internet. We recommend that you use the security appliance in conjunction with a separate server running one of the following Internet filtering products: • Websense Enterprise • Secure Computing SmartFilter Applying Application Inspection Inspection engines are required for services that embed IP addressing information in the user data packet or that open secondary channels on dynamically assigned ports. These protocols require the security appliance to do a deep packet inspection. Sending Traffic to the Advanced Inspection and Prevention Security Services Module If your model supports the AIP SSM for intrusion prevention, then you can send traffic to the AIP SSM for inspection. Sending Traffic to the Content Security and Control Security Services Module If your model supports it, the CSC SSM provides protection against viruses, spyware, spam, and other unwanted traffic. It accomplishes this by scanning the FTP, HTTP, POP3, and SMTP traffic that you configure the adaptive security appliance to send to it. Applying QoS Policies Some network traffic, such as voice and streaming video, cannot tolerate long latency times. QoS is a network feature that lets you give priority to these types of traffic. QoS refers to the capability of a network to provide better service to selected network traffic. Applying Connection Limits and TCP Normalization You can limit TCP and UDP connections and embryonic connections. Limiting the number of connections and embryonic connections protects you from a DoS attack. The security appliance uses the embryonic limit to trigger TCP Intercept, which protects inside systems from a DoS attack perpetrated by flooding an interface with TCP SYN packets. An embryonic connection is a connection request that has not finished the necessary handshake between source and destination. TCP normalization is a feature consisting of advanced TCP connection settings designed to drop packets that do not appear normal. Firewall Mode Overview The security appliance runs in two different firewall modes: • Routed • Transparent 1-4 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 1 Introduction to the Security Appliance Firewall Functional Overview In routed mode, the security appliance is considered to be a router hop in the network. In transparent mode, the security appliance acts like a “bump in the wire,” or a “stealth firewall,” and is not considered a router hop. The security appliance connects to the same network on its inside and outside interfaces. You might use a transparent firewall to simplify your network configuration. Transparent mode is also useful if you want the firewall to be invisible to attackers. You can also use a transparent firewall for traffic that would otherwise be blocked in routed mode. For example, a transparent firewall can allow multicast streams using an EtherType access list. Stateful Inspection Overview All traffic that goes through the security appliance is inspected using the Adaptive Security Algorithm and either allowed through or dropped. A simple packet filter can check for the correct source address, destination address, and ports, but it does not check that the packet sequence or flags are correct. A filter also checks every packet against the filter, which can be a slow process. A stateful firewall like the security appliance, however, takes into consideration the state of a packet: • Is this a new connection? If it is a new connection, the security appliance has to check the packet against access lists and perform other tasks to determine if the packet is allowed or denied. To perform this check, the first packet of the session goes through the “session management path,” and depending on the type of traffic, it might also pass through the “control plane path.” The session management path is responsible for the following tasks: – Performing the access list checks – Performing route lookups – Allocating NAT translations (xlates) – Establishing sessions in the “fast path” Note The session management path and the fast path make up the “accelerated security path.” Some packets that require Layer 7 inspection (the packet payload must be inspected or altered) are passed on to the control plane path. Layer 7 inspection engines are required for protocols that have two or more channels: a data channel, which uses well-known port numbers, and a control channel, which uses different port numbers for each session. These protocols include FTP, H.323, and SNMP. • Is this an established connection? If the connection is already established, the security appliance does not need to re-check packets; most matching packets can go through the fast path in both directions. The fast path is responsible for the following tasks: – IP checksum verification – Session lookup – TCP sequence number check – NAT translations based on existing sessions – Layer 3 and Layer 4 header adjustments1-5 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 1 Introduction to the Security Appliance VPN Functional Overview For UDP or other connectionless protocols, the security appliance creates connection state information so that it can also use the fast path. Data packets for protocols that require Layer 7 inspection can also go through the fast path. Some established session packets must continue to go through the session management path or the control plane path. Packets that go through the session management path include HTTP packets that require inspection or content filtering. Packets that go through the control plane path include the control packets for protocols that require Layer 7 inspection. VPN Functional Overview A VPN is a secure connection across a TCP/IP network (such as the Internet) that appears as a private connection. This secure connection is called a tunnel. The security appliance uses tunneling protocols to negotiate security parameters, create and manage tunnels, encapsulate packets, transmit or receive them through the tunnel, and unencapsulate them. The security appliance functions as a bidirectional tunnel endpoint: it can receive plain packets, encapsulate them, and send them to the other end of the tunnel where they are unencapsulated and sent to their final destination. It can also receive encapsulated packets, unencapsulate them, and send them to their final destination. The security appliance invokes various standard protocols to accomplish these functions. The security appliance performs the following functions: • Establishes tunnels • Negotiates tunnel parameters • Authenticates users • Assigns user addresses • Encrypts and decrypts data • Manages security keys • Manages data transfer across the tunnel • Manages data transfer inbound and outbound as a tunnel endpoint or router The security appliance invokes various standard protocols to accomplish these functions. Intrusion Prevention Services Functional Overview The Cisco ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance supports the AIP SSM, an intrusion prevention services module that monitors and performs real-time analysis of network traffic by looking for anomalies and misuse based on an extensive, embedded signature library. When the system detects unauthorized activity, it can terminate the specific connection, permanently block the attacking host, log the incident, and send an alert to the device manager. Other legitimate connections continue to operate independently without interruption. For more information, see Configuring the Cisco Intrusion Prevention System Sensor Using the Command Line Interface.1-6 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 1 Introduction to the Security Appliance Security Context Overview Security Context Overview You can partition a single security appliance into multiple virtual devices, known as security contexts. Each context is an independent device, with its own security policy, interfaces, and administrators. Multiple contexts are similar to having multiple standalone devices. Many features are supported in multiple context mode, including routing tables, firewall features, IPS, and management. Some features are not supported, including VPN and dynamic routing protocols. In multiple context mode, the security appliance includes a configuration for each context that identifies the security policy, interfaces, and almost all the options you can configure on a standalone device. The system administrator adds and manages contexts by configuring them in the system configuration, which, like a single mode configuration, is the startup configuration. The system configuration identifies basic settings for the security appliance. The system configuration does not include any network interfaces or network settings for itself; rather, when the system needs to access network resources (such as downloading the contexts from the server), it uses one of the contexts that is designated as the admin context. The admin context is just like any other context, except that when a user logs into the admin context, then that user has system administrator rights and can access the system and all other contexts. Note You can run all your contexts in routed mode or transparent mode; you cannot run some contexts in one mode and others in another. Multiple context mode supports static routing only.

The security appliance includes many advanced features, such as multiple security contexts (similar to virtualized firewalls), transparent (Layer 2) firewall or routed (Layer 3) firewall operation, advanced inspection engines, IPSec and WebVPN support, and many more features. See Appendix A, “Feature Licenses and Specifications,” for a list of supported platforms and features. For a list of new features, see the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Release Notes or the Cisco PIX Security Appliance Release Notes. Note The Cisco PIX 501 and PIX 506E security appliances are not supported. This chapter includes the following sections: • Firewall Functional Overview, page 1-1 • VPN Functional Overview, page 1-5 • Intrusion Prevention Services Functional Overview, page 1-5 • Security Context Overview, page 1-6 Firewall Functional Overview Firewalls protect inside networks from unauthorized access by users on an outside network. A firewall can also protect inside networks from each other, for example, by keeping a human resources network separate from a user network. If you have network resources that need to be available to an outside user, such as a web or FTP server, you can place these resources on a separate network behind the firewall, called a demilitarized zone (DMZ). The firewall allows limited access to the DMZ, but because the DMZ only includes the public servers, an attack there only affects the servers and does not affect the other inside networks. You can also control when inside users access outside networks (for example, access to the Internet), by allowing only certain addresses out, by requiring authentication or authorization, or by coordinating with an external URL filtering server. When discussing networks connected to a firewall, the outside network is in front of the firewall, the inside network is protected and behind the firewall, and a DMZ, while behind the firewall, allows limited access to outside users. Because the security appliance lets you configure many interfaces with varied security policies, including many inside interfaces, many DMZs, and even many outside interfaces if desired, these terms are used in a general sense only. 1-2 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 1 Introduction to the Security Appliance Firewall Functional Overview This section includes the following topics: • Security Policy Overview, page 1-2 • Firewall Mode Overview, page 1-3 • Stateful Inspection Overview, page 1-4 Security Policy Overview A security policy determines which traffic is allowed to pass through the firewall to access another network. By default, the security appliance allows traffic to flow freely from an inside network (higher security level) to an outside network (lower security level). You can apply actions to traffic to customize the security policy. This section includes the following topics: • Permitting or Denying Traffic with Access Lists, page 1-2 • Applying NAT, page 1-2 • Using AAA for Through Traffic, page 1-2 • Applying HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP Filtering, page 1-3 • Applying Application Inspection, page 1-3 • Sending Traffic to the Advanced Inspection and Prevention Security Services Module, page 1-3 • Sending Traffic to the Content Security and Control Security Services Module, page 1-3 • Applying QoS Policies, page 1-3 • Applying Connection Limits and TCP Normalization, page 1-3 Permitting or Denying Traffic with Access Lists You can apply an access list to limit traffic from inside to outside, or allow traffic from outside to inside. For transparent firewall mode, you can also apply an EtherType access list to allow non-IP traffic. Applying NAT Some of the benefits of NAT include the following: • You can use private addresses on your inside networks. Private addresses are not routable on the Internet. • NAT hides the local addresses from other networks, so attackers cannot learn the real address of a host. • NAT can resolve IP routing problems by supporting overlapping IP addresses. Using AAA for Through Traffic You can require authentication and/or authorization for certain types of traffic, for example, for HTTP. The security appliance also sends accounting information to a RADIUS or TACACS+ server. 1-3 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 1 Introduction to the Security Appliance Firewall Functional Overview Applying HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP Filtering Although you can use access lists to prevent outbound access to specific websites or FTP servers, configuring and managing web usage this way is not practical because of the size and dynamic nature of the Internet. We recommend that you use the security appliance in conjunction with a separate server running one of the following Internet filtering products: • Websense Enterprise • Secure Computing SmartFilter Applying Application Inspection Inspection engines are required for services that embed IP addressing information in the user data packet or that open secondary channels on dynamically assigned ports. These protocols require the security appliance to do a deep packet inspection. Sending Traffic to the Advanced Inspection and Prevention Security Services Module If your model supports the AIP SSM for intrusion prevention, then you can send traffic to the AIP SSM for inspection. Sending Traffic to the Content Security and Control Security Services Module If your model supports it, the CSC SSM provides protection against viruses, spyware, spam, and other unwanted traffic. It accomplishes this by scanning the FTP, HTTP, POP3, and SMTP traffic that you configure the adaptive security appliance to send to it. Applying QoS Policies Some network traffic, such as voice and streaming video, cannot tolerate long latency times. QoS is a network feature that lets you give priority to these types of traffic. QoS refers to the capability of a network to provide better service to selected network traffic. Applying Connection Limits and TCP Normalization You can limit TCP and UDP connections and embryonic connections. Limiting the number of connections and embryonic connections protects you from a DoS attack. The security appliance uses the embryonic limit to trigger TCP Intercept, which protects inside systems from a DoS attack perpetrated by flooding an interface with TCP SYN packets. An embryonic connection is a connection request that has not finished the necessary handshake between source and destination. TCP normalization is a feature consisting of advanced TCP connection settings designed to drop packets that do not appear normal. Firewall Mode Overview The security appliance runs in two different firewall modes: • Routed • Transparent 1-4 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 1 Introduction to the Security Appliance Firewall Functional Overview In routed mode, the security appliance is considered to be a router hop in the network. In transparent mode, the security appliance acts like a “bump in the wire,” or a “stealth firewall,” and is not considered a router hop. The security appliance connects to the same network on its inside and outside interfaces. You might use a transparent firewall to simplify your network configuration. Transparent mode is also useful if you want the firewall to be invisible to attackers. You can also use a transparent firewall for traffic that would otherwise be blocked in routed mode. For example, a transparent firewall can allow multicast streams using an EtherType access list. Stateful Inspection Overview All traffic that goes through the security appliance is inspected using the Adaptive Security Algorithm and either allowed through or dropped. A simple packet filter can check for the correct source address, destination address, and ports, but it does not check that the packet sequence or flags are correct. A filter also checks every packet against the filter, which can be a slow process. A stateful firewall like the security appliance, however, takes into consideration the state of a packet: • Is this a new connection? If it is a new connection, the security appliance has to check the packet against access lists and perform other tasks to determine if the packet is allowed or denied. To perform this check, the first packet of the session goes through the “session management path,” and depending on the type of traffic, it might also pass through the “control plane path.” The session management path is responsible for the following tasks: – Performing the access list checks – Performing route lookups – Allocating NAT translations (xlates) – Establishing sessions in the “fast path” Note The session management path and the fast path make up the “accelerated security path.” Some packets that require Layer 7 inspection (the packet payload must be inspected or altered) are passed on to the control plane path. Layer 7 inspection engines are required for protocols that have two or more channels: a data channel, which uses well-known port numbers, and a control channel, which uses different port numbers for each session. These protocols include FTP, H.323, and SNMP. • Is this an established connection? If the connection is already established, the security appliance does not need to re-check packets; most matching packets can go through the fast path in both directions. The fast path is responsible for the following tasks: – IP checksum verification – Session lookup – TCP sequence number check – NAT translations based on existing sessions – Layer 3 and Layer 4 header adjustments 1-5 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 1 Introduction to the Security Appliance VPN Functional Overview For UDP or other connectionless protocols, the security appliance creates connection state information so that it can also use the fast path. Data packets for protocols that require Layer 7 inspection can also go through the fast path. Some established session packets must continue to go through the session management path or the control plane path. Packets that go through the session management path include HTTP packets that require inspection or content filtering. Packets that go through the control plane path include the control packets for protocols that require Layer 7 inspection. VPN Functional Overview A VPN is a secure connection across a TCP/IP network (such as the Internet) that appears as a private connection. This secure connection is called a tunnel. The security appliance uses tunneling protocols to negotiate security parameters, create and manage tunnels, encapsulate packets, transmit or receive them through the tunnel, and unencapsulate them. The security appliance functions as a bidirectional tunnel endpoint: it can receive plain packets, encapsulate them, and send them to the other end of the tunnel where they are unencapsulated and sent to their final destination. It can also receive encapsulated packets, unencapsulate them, and send them to their final destination. The security appliance invokes various standard protocols to accomplish these functions. The security appliance performs the following functions: • Establishes tunnels • Negotiates tunnel parameters • Authenticates users • Assigns user addresses • Encrypts and decrypts data • Manages security keys • Manages data transfer across the tunnel • Manages data transfer inbound and outbound as a tunnel endpoint or router The security appliance invokes various standard protocols to accomplish these functions. Intrusion Prevention Services Functional Overview The Cisco ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance supports the AIP SSM, an intrusion prevention services module that monitors and performs real-time analysis of network traffic by looking for anomalies and misuse based on an extensive, embedded signature library. When the system detects unauthorized activity, it can terminate the specific connection, permanently block the attacking host, log the incident, and send an alert to the device manager. Other legitimate connections continue to operate independently without interruption. For more information, see Configuring the Cisco Intrusion Prevention System Sensor Using the Command Line Interface. 1-6 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 1 Introduction to the Security Appliance Security Context Overview Security Context Overview You can partition a single security appliance into multiple virtual devices, known as security contexts. Each context is an independent device, with its own security policy, interfaces, and administrators. Multiple contexts are similar to having multiple standalone devices. Many features are supported in multiple context mode, including routing tables, firewall features, IPS, and management. Some features are not supported, including VPN and dynamic routing protocols. In multiple context mode, the security appliance includes a configuration for each context that identifies the security policy, interfaces, and almost all the options you can configure on a standalone device. The system administrator adds and manages contexts by configuring them in the system configuration, which, like a single mode configuration, is the startup configuration. The system configuration identifies basic settings for the security appliance. The system configuration does not include any network interfaces or network settings for itself; rather, when the system needs to access network resources (such as downloading the contexts from the server), it uses one of the contexts that is designated as the admin context. The admin context is just like any other context, except that when a user logs into the admin context, then that user has system administrator rights and can access the system and all other contexts. Note You can run all your contexts in routed mode or transparent mode; you cannot run some contexts in one mode and others in another. Multiple context mode supports static routing only.

This chapter includes the following sections: • Getting Started with Your Platform Model, page 2-1 • Factory Default Configurations, page 2-1 • Accessing the Command-Line Interface, page 2-4 • Setting Transparent or Routed Firewall Mode, page 2-5 • Working with the Configuration, page 2-6 Getting Started with Your Platform Model This guide applies to multiple security appliance platforms and models: the PIX 500 series security appliances and the ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliances. There are some hardware differences between the PIX and the ASA security appliance. Moreover, the ASA 5505 includes a built-in switch, and requires some special configuration. For these hardware-based differences, the platforms or models supported are noted directly in each section. Some models do not support all features covered in this guide. For example, the ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance does not support security contexts. This guide might not list each supported model when discussing a feature. To determine the features that are supported for your model before you start your configuration, see the “Supported Platforms and Feature Licenses” section on page A-1 for a detailed list of the features supported for each model. Factory Default Configurations The factory default configuration is the configuration applied by Cisco to new security appliances. The factory default configuration is supported on all models except for the PIX 525 and PIX 535 security appliances. For the PIX 515/515E and the ASA 5510 and higher security appliances, the factory default configuration configures an interface for management so you can connect to it using ASDM, with which you can then complete your configuration. For the ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance, the factory default configuration configures interfaces and NAT so that the security appliance is ready to use in your network immediately. 2-2 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 2 Getting Started Factory Default Configurations The factory default configuration is available only for routed firewall mode and single context mode. See Chapter 3, “Enabling Multiple Context Mode,” for more information about multiple context mode. See the “Setting Transparent or Routed Firewall Mode” section on page 2-5 for more information about routed and transparent firewall mode. This section includes the following topics: • Restoring the Factory Default Configuration, page 2-2 • ASA 5505 Default Configuration, page 2-2 • ASA 5510 and Higher Default Configuration, page 2-3 • PIX 515/515E Default Configuration, page 2-4 Restoring the Factory Default Configuration To restore the factory default configuration, enter the following command: hostname(config)# configure factory-default [ip_address [mask]] If you specify the ip_address, then you set the inside or management interface IP address, depending on your model, instead of using the default IP address of 192.168.1.1. The http command uses the subnet you specify. Similarly, the dhcpd address command range consists of addresses within the subnet that you specify. After you restore the factory default configuration, save it to internal Flash memory using the write memory command. The write memory command saves the running configuration to the default location for the startup configuration, even if you previously configured the boot config command to set a different location; when the configuration was cleared, this path was also cleared. Note This command also clears the boot system command, if present, along with the rest of the configuration. The boot system command lets you boot from a specific image, including an image on the external Flash memory card. The next time you reload the security appliance after restoring the factory configuration, it boots from the first image in internal Flash memory; if you do not have an image in internal Flash memory, the security appliance does not boot. To configure additional settings that are useful for a full configuration, see the setup command. ASA 5505 Default Configuration The default factory configuration for the ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance configures the following: • An inside VLAN 1 interface that includes the Ethernet 0/1 through 0/7 switch ports. If you did not set the IP address in the configure factory-default command, then the VLAN 1 IP address and mask are 192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.0. • An outside VLAN 2 interface that includes the Ethernet 0/0 switch port. VLAN 2 derives its IP address using DHCP. • The default route is also derived from DHCP. • All inside IP addresses are translated when accessing the outside using interface PAT. • By default, inside users can access the outside with an access list, and outside users are prevented from accessing the inside. 2-3 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 2 Getting Started Factory Default Configurations • The DHCP server is enabled on the security appliance, so a PC connecting to the VLAN 1 interface receives an address between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254. • The HTTP server is enabled for ASDM and is accessible to users on the 192.168.1.0 network. The configuration consists of the following commands: interface Ethernet 0/0 switchport access vlan 2 no shutdown interface Ethernet 0/1 switchport access vlan 1 no shutdown interface Ethernet 0/2 switchport access vlan 1 no shutdown interface Ethernet 0/3 switchport access vlan 1 no shutdown interface Ethernet 0/4 switchport access vlan 1 no shutdown interface Ethernet 0/5 switchport access vlan 1 no shutdown interface Ethernet 0/6 switchport access vlan 1 no shutdown interface Ethernet 0/7 switchport access vlan 1 no shutdown interface vlan2 nameif outside no shutdown ip address dhcp setroute interface vlan1 nameif inside ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 security-level 100 no shutdown global (outside) 1 interface nat (inside) 1 0 0 http server enable http 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 inside dhcpd address 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.254 inside dhcpd auto_config outside dhcpd enable inside logging asdm informational ASA 5510 and Higher Default Configuration The default factory configuration for the ASA 5510 and higher adaptive security appliance configures the following: • The management interface, Management 0/0. If you did not set the IP address in the configure factory-default command, then the IP address and mask are 192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.0. • The DHCP server is enabled on the security appliance, so a PC connecting to the interface receives an address between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254. • The HTTP server is enabled for ASDM and is accessible to users on the 192.168.1.0 network. 2-4 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 2 Getting Started Accessing the Command-Line Interface The configuration consists of the following commands: interface management 0/0 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 nameif management security-level 100 no shutdown asdm logging informational 100 asdm history enable http server enable http 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 management dhcpd address 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.254 management dhcpd lease 3600 dhcpd ping_timeout 750 dhcpd enable management PIX 515/515E Default Configuration The default factory configuration for the PIX 515/515E security appliance configures the following: • The inside Ethernet1 interface. If you did not set the IP address in the configure factory-default command, then the IP address and mask are 192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.0. • The DHCP server is enabled on the security appliance, so a PC connecting to the interface receives an address between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254. • The HTTP server is enabled for ASDM and is accessible to users on the 192.168.1.0 network.

Later, you can configure remote access using Telnet or SSH according to Chapter 40, “Managing System Access.” If your system is already in multiple context mode, then accessing the console port places you in the system execution space. See Chapter 3, “Enabling Multiple Context Mode,” for more information about multiple context mode. Note If you want to use ASDM to configure the security appliance instead of the command-line interface, you can connect to the default management address of 192.168.1.1 (if your security appliance includes a factory default configuration. See the “Factory Default Configurations” section on page 2-1.). On the 2-5 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 2 Getting Started Setting Transparent or Routed Firewall Mode ASA 5510 and higher adaptive security appliances, the interface to which you connect with ASDM is Management 0/0. For the ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance, the switch port to which you connect with ASDM is any port, except for Ethernet 0/0. For the PIX 515/515E security appliance, the interface to which you connect with ASDM is Ethernet 1. If you do not have a factory default configuration, follow the steps in this section to access the command-line interface. You can then configure the minimum parameters to access ASDM by entering the setup command. To access the command-line interface, perform the following steps: Step 1 Connect a PC to the console port using the provided console cable, and connect to the console using a terminal emulator set for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control. See the hardware guide that came with your security appliance for more information about the console cable. Step 2 Press the Enter key to see the following prompt: hostname> This prompt indicates that you are in user EXEC mode. Step 3 To access privileged EXEC mode, enter the following command: hostname> enable The following prompt appears: Password: Step 4 Enter the enable password at the prompt. By default, the password is blank, and you can press the Enter key to continue. See the “Changing the Enable Password” section on page 8-1 to change the enable password. The prompt changes to: hostname# To exit privileged mode, enter the disable, exit, or quit command. Step 5 To access global configuration mode, enter the following command: hostname# configure terminal The prompt changes to the following: hostname(config)# To exit global configuration mode, enter the exit, quit, or end command. Setting Transparent or Routed Firewall Mode You can set the security appliance to run in routed firewall mode (the default) or transparent firewall mode. For multiple context mode, you can use only one firewall mode for all contexts. You must set the mode in the system execution space. 2-6 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 2 Getting Started Working with the Configuration When you change modes, the security appliance clears the configuration because many commands are not supported for both modes. If you already have a populated configuration, be sure to back up your configuration before changing the mode; you can use this backup for reference when creating your new configuration. See the “Backing Up Configuration Files” section on page 41-8. For multiple context mode, the system configuration is erased. This action removes any contexts from running. If you then re-add a context that has an existing configuration that was created for the wrong mode, the context configuration will not work correctly. Be sure to recreate your context configurations for the correct mode before you re-add them, or add new contexts with new paths for the new configurations. If you download a text configuration to the security appliance that changes the mode with the firewall transparent command, be sure to put the command at the top of the configuration; the security appliance changes the mode as soon as it reads the command and then continues reading the configuration you downloaded. If the command is later in the configuration, the security appliance clears all the preceding lines in the configuration. See the “Downloading Software or Configuration Files to Flash Memory” section on page 41-3 for information about downloading text files. • To set the mode to transparent, enter the following command in the system execution space: hostname(config)# firewall transparent This command also appears in each context configuration for informational purposes only; you cannot enter this command in a context. • To set the mode to routed, enter the following command in the system execution space: hostname(config)# no firewall transparent Working with the Configuration This section describes how to work with the configuration. The security appliance loads the configuration from a text file, called the startup configuration. This file resides by default as a hidden file in internal Flash memory. You can, however, specify a different path for the startup configuration. (For more information, see Chapter 41, “Managing Software, Licenses, and Configurations.”) When you enter a command, the change is made only to the running configuration in memory. You must manually save the running configuration to the startup configuration for your changes to remain after a reboot. The information in this section applies to both single and multiple security contexts, except where noted. Additional information about contexts is in Chapter 3, “Enabling Multiple Context Mode.” This section includes the following topics: • Saving Configuration Changes, page 2-6 • Copying the Startup Configuration to the Running Configuration, page 2-8 • Viewing the Configuration, page 2-8 • Clearing and Removing Configuration Settings, page 2-9 • Creating Text Configuration Files Offline, page 2-9 Saving Configuration Changes This section describes how to save your configuration, and includes the following topics: • Saving Configuration Changes in Single Context Mode, page 2-7 2-7 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 2 Getting Started Working with the Configuration • Saving Configuration Changes in Multiple Context Mode, page 2-7 Saving Configuration Changes in Single Context Mode To save the running configuration to the startup configuration, enter the following command: hostname# write memory Note The copy running-config startup-config command is equivalent to the write memory command. Saving Configuration Changes in Multiple Context Mode You can save each context (and system) configuration separately, or you can save all context configurations at the same time. This section includes the following topics: • Saving Each Context and System Separately, page 2-7 • Saving All Context Configurations at the Same Time, page 2-7 Saving Each Context and System Separately To save the system or context configuration, enter the following command within the system or context: hostname# write memory Note The copy running-config startup-config command is equivalent to the write memory command. For multiple context mode, context startup configurations can reside on external servers. In this case, the security appliance saves the configuration back to the server you identified in the context URL, except for an HTTP or HTTPS URL, which do not let you save the configuration to the server. Saving All Context Configurations at the Same Time To save all context configurations at the same time, as well as the system configuration, enter the following command in the system execution space: hostname# write memory all [/noconfirm] If you do not enter the /noconfirm keyword, you see the following prompt: Are you sure [Y/N]: After you enter Y, the security appliance saves the system configuration and each context. Context startup configurations can reside on external servers. In this case, the security appliance saves the configuration back to the server you identified in the context URL, except for an HTTP or HTTPS URL, which do not let you save the configuration to the server. After the security appliance saves each context, the following message appears: ‘Saving context ‘b’ ... ( 1/3 contexts saved ) ’ Sometimes, a context is not saved because of an error. See the following information for errors: • For contexts that are not saved because of low memory, the following message appears: The context 'context a' could not be saved due to Unavailability of resources 2-8 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 2 Getting Started Working with the Configuration • For contexts that are not saved because the remote destination is unreachable, the following message appears: The context 'context a' could not be saved due to non-reachability of destination • For contexts that are not saved because the context is locked, the following message appears: Unable to save the configuration for the following contexts as these contexts are locked. context ‘a’ , context ‘x’ , context ‘z’ . A context is only locked if another user is already saving the configuration or in the process of deleting the context. • For contexts that are not saved because the startup configuration is read-only (for example, on an HTTP server), the following message report is printed at the end of all other messages: Unable to save the configuration for the following contexts as these contexts have read-only config-urls: context ‘a’ , context ‘b’ , context ‘c’ . • For contexts that are not saved because of bad sectors in the Flash memory, the following message appears: The context 'context a' could not be saved due to Unknown errors Copying the Startup Configuration to the Running Configuration Copy a new startup configuration to the running configuration using one of these options: • To merge the startup configuration with the running configuration, enter the following command: hostname(config)# copy startup-config running-config A merge adds any new commands from the new configuration to the running configuration. If the configurations are the same, no changes occur. If commands conflict or if commands affect the running of the context, then the effect of the merge depends on the command. You might get errors, or you might have unexpected results. • To load the startup configuration and discard the running configuration, restart the security appliance by entering the following command: hostname# reload Alternatively, you can use the following commands to load the startup configuration and discard the running configuration without requiring a reboot: hostname/contexta(config)# clear configure all hostname/contexta(config)# copy startup-config running-config Viewing the Configuration The following commands let you view the running and startup configurations. • To view the running configuration, enter the following command: hostname# show running-config 2-9 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 2 Getting Started Working with the Configuration • To view the running configuration of a specific command, enter the following command: hostname# show running-config command • To view the startup configuration, enter the following command: hostname# show startup-config Clearing and Removing Configuration Settings To erase settings, enter one of the following commands. • To clear all the configuration for a specified command, enter the following command: hostname(config)# clear configure configurationcommand [level2configurationcommand] This command clears all the current configuration for the specified configuration command. If you only want to clear the configuration for a specific version of the command, you can enter a value for level2configurationcommand. For example, to clear the configuration for all aaa commands, enter the following command: hostname(config)# clear configure aaa To clear the configuration for only aaa authentication commands, enter the following command: hostname(config)# clear configure aaa authentication • To disable the specific parameters or options of a command, enter the following command: hostname(config)# no configurationcommand [level2configurationcommand] qualifier In this case, you use the no command to remove the specific configuration identified by qualifier. For example, to remove a specific nat command, enter enough of the command to identify it uniquely as follows: hostname(config)# no nat (inside) 1 • To erase the startup configuration, enter the following command: hostname(config)# write erase • To erase the running configuration, enter the following command: hostname(config)# clear configure all Note In multiple context mode, if you enter clear configure all from the system configuration, you also remove all contexts and stop them from running. Creating Text Configuration Files Offline This guide describes how to use the CLI to configure the security appliance; when you save commands, the changes are written to a text file. Instead of using the CLI, however, you can edit a text file directly on your PC and paste a configuration at the configuration mode command-line prompt in its entirety, or line by line. Alternatively, you can download a text file to the security appliance internal Flash memory. See Chapter 41, “Managing Software, Licenses, and Configurations,” for information on downloading the configuration file to the security appliance. 2-10 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 2 Getting Started Working with the Configuration In most cases, commands described in this guide are preceded by a CLI prompt. The prompt in the following example is “hostname(config)#”: hostname(config)# context a In the text configuration file you are not prompted to enter commands, so the prompt is omitted as follows: context a For additional information about formatting the file, see Appendix C, “Using the Command-Line Interface.” CH A P T E R 3-1 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 3 Enabling Multiple Context Mode This chapter describes how to use security contexts and enable multiple context mode. This chapter includes the following sections: • Security Context Overview, page 3-1 • Enabling or Disabling Multiple Context Mode, page 3-10 Security Context Overview You can partition a single security appliance into multiple virtual devices, known as security contexts. Each context is an independent device, with its own security policy, interfaces, and administrators. Multiple contexts are similar to having multiple standalone devices. Many features are supported in multiple context mode, including routing tables, firewall features, IPS, and management. Some features are not supported, including VPN and dynamic routing protocols. This section provides an overview of security contexts, and includes the following topics: • Common Uses for Security Contexts, page 3-1 • Unsupported Features, page 3-2 • Context Configuration Files, page 3-2 • How the Security Appliance Classifies Packets, page 3-3 • Cascading Security Contexts, page 3-8 • Management Access to Security Contexts, page 3-9 Common Uses for Security Contexts You might want to use multiple security contexts in the following situations: • You are a service provider and want to sell security services to many customers. By enabling multiple security contexts on the security appliance, you can implement a cost-effective, space-saving solution that keeps all customer traffic separate and secure, and also eases configuration. • You are a large enterprise or a college campus and want to keep departments completely separate. • You are an enterprise that wants to provide distinct security policies to different departments. • You have any network that requires more than one security appliance. 3-2 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 3 Enabling Multiple Context Mode Security Context Overview Unsupported Features Multiple context mode does not support the following features: • Dynamic routing protocols Security contexts support only static routes. You cannot enable OSPF or RIP in multiple context mode. • VPN • Multicast Context Configuration Files This section describes how the security appliance implements multiple context mode configurations and includes the following sections: • Context Configurations, page 3-2 • System Configuration, page 3-2 • Admin Context Configuration, page 3-2 Context Configurations The security appliance includes a configuration for each context that identifies the security policy, interfaces, and almost all the options you can configure on a standalone device. You can store context configurations on the internal Flash memory or the external Flash memory card, or you can download them from a TFTP, FTP, or HTTP(S) server. System Configuration The system administrator adds and manages contexts by configuring each context configuration location, allocated interfaces, and other context operating parameters in the system configuration, which, like a single mode configuration, is the startup configuration. The system configuration identifies basic settings for the security appliance. The system configuration does not include any network interfaces or network settings for itself; rather, when the system needs to access network resources (such as downloading the contexts from the server), it uses one of the contexts that is designated as the admin context. The system configuration does include a specialized failover interface for failover traffic only. Admin Context Configuration The admin context is just like any other context, except that when a user logs in to the admin context, then that user has system administrator rights and can access the system and all other contexts. The admin context is not restricted in any way, and can be used as a regular context. However, because logging into the admin context grants you administrator privileges over all contexts, you might need to restrict access to the admin context to appropriate users. The admin context must reside on Flash memory, and not remotely. If your system is already in multiple context mode, or if you convert from single mode, the admin context is created automatically as a file on the internal Flash memory called admin.cfg. This context is named “admin.” If you do not want to use admin.cfg as the admin context, you can change the admin context. 3-3 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 3 Enabling Multiple Context Mode Security Context Overview How the Security Appliance Classifies Packets Each packet that enters the security appliance must be classified, so that the security appliance can determine to which context to send a packet. This section includes the following topics: • Valid Classifier Criteria, page 3-3 • Invalid Classifier Criteria, page 3-4 • Classification Examples, page 3-5 Note If the destination MAC address is a multicast or broadcast MAC address, the packet is duplicated and delivered to each context. Valid Classifier Criteria This section describes the criteria used by the classifier, and includes the following topics: • Unique Interfaces, page 3-3 • Unique MAC Addresses, page 3-3 • NAT Configuration, page 3-3 Unique Interfaces If only one context is associated with the ingress interface, the security appliance classifies the packet into that context. In transparent firewall mode, unique interfaces for contexts are required, so this method is used to classify packets at all times. Unique MAC Addresses If multiple contexts share an interface, then the classifier uses the interface MAC address. The security appliance lets you assign a different MAC address in each context to the same shared interface, whether it is a shared physical interface or a shared subinterface. By default, shared interfaces do not have unique MAC addresses; the interface uses the physical interface burned-in MAC address in every context. An upstream router cannot route directly to a context without unique MAC addresses. You can set the MAC addresses manually when you configure each interface (see the “Configuring the Interface” section on page 7-2), or you can automatically generate MAC addresses (see the “Automatically Assigning MAC Addresses to Context Interfaces” section on page 6-11). NAT Configuration If you do not have unique MAC addresses, then the classifier intercepts the packet and performs a destination IP address lookup. All other fields are ignored; only the destination IP address is used. To use the destination address for classification, the classifier must have knowledge about the subnets located behind each security context. The classifier relies on the NAT configuration to determine the subnets in each context. The classifier matches the destination IP address to either a static command or a global command. In the case of the global command, the classifier does not need a matching nat command or an active NAT session to classify the packet. Whether the packet can communicate with the destination IP address after classification depends on how you configure NAT and NAT control. For example, the classifier gains knowledge about subnets 10.10.10.0, 10.20.10.0 and 10.30.10.0 when the context administrators configure static commands in each context: • Context A: 3-4 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 3 Enabling Multiple Context Mode Security Context Overview static (inside,shared) 10.10.10.0 10.10.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 • Context B: static (inside,shared) 10.20.10.0 10.20.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 • Context C: static (inside,shared) 10.30.10.0 10.30.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 Note For management traffic destined for an interface, the interface IP address is used for classification. Invalid Classifier Criteria The following configurations are not used for packet classification: • NAT exemption—The classifier does not use a NAT exemption configuration for classification purposes because NAT exemption does not identify a mapped interface. • Routing table—If a context includes a static route that points to an external router as the next-hop to a subnet, and a different context includes a static command for the same subnet, then the classifier uses the static command to classify packets destined for that subnet and ignores the static route. 3-5 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 3 Enabling Multiple Context Mode Security Context Overview Classification Examples Figure 3-2 shows multiple contexts sharing an outside interface. The classifier assigns the packet to Context B because Context B includes the MAC address to which the router sends the packet. Figure 3-1 Packet Classification with a Shared Interface using MAC Addresses Classifier Context A Context B MAC 000C.F142.4CDA MAC 000C.F142.4CDB MAC 000C.F142.4CDC GE 0/1.2 GE 0/1.3 GE 0/0.1 (Shared Interface) Admin Context GE 0/1.1 Host 209.165.201.1 Host 209.165.200.225 Host 209.165.202.129 Packet Destination: 209.165.201.1 via MAC 000C.F142.4CDC Internet Inside Customer A Inside Customer B Admin Network 153367 3-6 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 3 Enabling Multiple Context Mode Security Context Overview Figure 3-2 shows multiple contexts sharing an outside interface without MAC addresses assigned. The classifier assigns the packet to Context B because Context B includes the address translation that matches the destination address. Figure 3-2 Packet Classification with a Shared Interface using NAT Note that all new incoming traffic must be classified, even from inside networks. Figure 3-3 shows a host on the Context B inside network accessing the Internet. The classifier assigns the packet to Context B because the ingress interface is Gigabit Ethernet 0/1.3, which is assigned to Context B. Note If you share an inside interface and do not use unique MAC addresses, the classifier imposes some major restrictions. The classifier relies on the address translation configuration to classify the packet within a context, and you must translate the destination addresses of the traffic. Because you do not usually perform NAT on outside addresses, sending packets from inside to outside on a shared interface is not always possible; the outside network is large, (the Web, for example), and addresses are not predictable for an outside NAT configuration. If you share an inside interface, we suggest you use unique MAC addresses.

The classifier assigns the packet to Context B because the ingress interface is Gigabit Ethernet 1/0.3, which is assigned to Context B. Figure 3-4 Transparent Firewall Contexts Cascading Security Contexts Placing a context directly in front of another context is called cascading contexts; the outside interface of one context is the same interface as the inside interface of another context. You might want to cascade contexts if you want to simplify the configuration of some contexts by configuring shared parameters in the top context. Note Cascading contexts requires that you configure unique MAC addresses for each context interface. Because of the limitations of classifying packets on shared interfaces without MAC addresses, we do not recommend using cascading contexts without unique MAC addresses.

Figure 3-5 Cascading Contexts Management Access to Security Contexts The security appliance provides system administrator access in multiple context mode as well as access for individual context administrators. The following sections describe logging in as a system administrator or as a a context administrator: • System Administrator Access, page 3-9 • Context Administrator Access, page 3-10 System Administrator Access You can access the security appliance as a system administrator in two ways: • Access the security appliance console. From the console, you access the system execution space. • Access the admin context using Telnet, SSH, or ASDM. See Chapter 40, “Managing System Access,” to enable Telnet, SSH, and SDM access. As the system administrator, you can access all contexts. When you change to a context from admin or the system, your username changes to the default “enable_15” username. If you configured command authorization in that context, you need to either configure authorization privileges for the “enable_15” user, or you can log in as a different name for which you provide sufficient privileges in the command authorization configuration for the context. To log in with a username, enter the login command.

For convenience, each context configuration includes a user “admin” with maximum privileges. When you change from the admin context to context A, your username is altered, so you must log in again as “admin” by entering the login command. When you change to context B, you must again enter the login command to log in as “admin.” The system execution space does not support any AAA commands, but you can configure its own enable password, as well as usernames in the local database to provide individual logins. Context Administrator Access You can access a context using Telnet, SSH, or ASDM. If you log in to a non-admin context, you can only access the configuration for that context. You can provide individual logins to the context. See See Chapter 40, “Managing System Access,” to enable Telnet, SSH, and SDM access and to configure management authentication. Enabling or Disabling Multiple Context Mode Your security appliance might already be configured for multiple security contexts depending on how you ordered it from Cisco. If you are upgrading, however, you might need to convert from single mode to multiple mode by following the procedures in this section. ASDM does not support changing modes, so you need to change modes using the CLI. This section includes the following topics: • Backing Up the Single Mode Configuration, page 3-10 • Enabling Multiple Context Mode, page 3-10 • Restoring Single Context Mode, page 3-11 Backing Up the Single Mode Configuration When you convert from single mode to multiple mode, the security appliance converts the running configuration into two files. The original startup configuration is not saved, so if it differs from the running configuration, you should back it up before proceeding. Enabling Multiple Context Mode The context mode (single or multiple) is not stored in the configuration file, even though it does endure reboots. If you need to copy your configuration to another device, set the mode on the new device to match using the mode command. When you convert from single mode to multiple mode, the security appliance converts the running configuration into two files: a new startup configuration that comprises the system configuration, and admin.cfg that comprises the admin context (in the root directory of the internal Flash memory). The original running configuration is saved as old_running.cfg (in the root directory of the internal Flash memory). The original startup configuration is not saved. The security appliance automatically adds an entry for the admin context to the system configuration with the name “admin.” To enable multiple mode, enter the following command: hostname(config)# mode multiple 3-11 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 3 Enabling Multiple Context Mode Enabling or Disabling Multiple Context Mode You are prompted to reboot the security appliance. Restoring Single Context Mode If you convert from multiple mode to single mode, you might want to first copy a full startup configuration (if available) to the security appliance; the system configuration inherited from multiple mode is not a complete functioning configuration for a single mode device. Because the system configuration does not have any network interfaces as part of its configuration, you must access the security appliance from the console to perform the copy. To copy the old running configuration to the startup configuration and to change the mode to single mode, perform the following steps in the system execution space: Step 1 To copy the backup version of your original running configuration to the current startup configuration, enter the following command in the system execution space: hostname(config)# copy flash:old_running.cfg startup-config Step 2 To set the mode to single mode, enter the following command in the system execution space: hostname(config)# mode single The security appliance reboots. 3-12 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 3 Enabling Multiple Context Mode Enabling or Disabling Multiple Context Mode CH A P T E R 4-1 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 4 Configuring Switch Ports and VLAN Interfaces for the Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance This chapter describes how to configure the switch ports and VLAN interfaces of the ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance.

There are two kinds of ports and interfaces that you need to configure: • Physical switch ports—The adaptive security appliance has eight Fast Ethernet switch ports that forward traffic at Layer 2, using the switching function in hardware. Two of these ports are PoE ports. See the “Power Over Ethernet” section on page 4-4 for more information. You can connect these interfaces directly to user equipment such as PCs, IP phones, or a DSL modem. Or you can connect to another switch. • Logical VLAN interfaces—In routed mode, these interfaces forward traffic between VLAN networks at Layer 3, using the configured security policy to apply firewall and VPN services. In transparent mode, these interfaces forward traffic between the VLANs on the same network at Layer 2, using the configured security policy to apply firewall services. See the “Maximum Active VLAN Interfaces for Your License” section for more information about the maximum VLAN interfaces. VLAN interfaces let you divide your equipment into separate VLANs, for example, home, business, and Internet VLANs. To segregate the switch ports into separate VLANs, you assign each switch port to a VLAN interface. Switch ports on the same VLAN can communicate with each other using hardware switching. But when a switch port on VLAN 1 wants to communicate with a switch port on VLAN 2, then the adaptive security appliance applies the security policy to the traffic and routes or bridges between the two VLANs. Note Subinterfaces are not available for the ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance. Maximum Active VLAN Interfaces for Your License In transparent firewall mode, you can configure two active VLANs in the Base license and three active VLANs in the Security Plus license, one of which must be for failover. In routed mode, you can configure up to three active VLANs with the Base license, and up to 20 active VLANs with the Security Plus license. An active VLAN is a VLAN with a nameif command configured. 4-3 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 4 Configuring Switch Ports and VLAN Interfaces for the Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance Interface Overview With the Base license, the third VLAN can only be configured to initiate traffic to one other VLAN. See Figure 4-1 for an example network where the Home VLAN can communicate with the Internet, but cannot initiate contact with Business. Figure 4-1 ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance with Base License With the Security Plus license, you can configure 20 VLAN interfaces. You can configure trunk ports to accomodate multiple VLANs per port. Note The ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance supports Active/Standby failover, but not Stateful failover. See Figure 4-2 for an example network. Figure 4-2 ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance with Security Plus License ASA 5505 with Base License Business Internet Home 153364 ASA 5505 with Security Plus License Failover ASA 5505 Inside Backup ISP Primary ISP DMZ Failover Link 153365 4-4 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 4 Configuring Switch Ports and VLAN Interfaces for the Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance Interface Overview Default Interface Configuration If your adaptive security appliance includes the default factory configuration, your interfaces are configured as follows: • The outside interface (security level 0) is VLAN 2. Ethernet0/0 is assigned to VLAN 2 and is enabled. The VLAN 2 IP address is obtained from the DHCP server. • The inside interface (security level 100) is VLAN 1 Ethernet 0/1 through Ethernet 0/7 are assigned to VLAN 1 and is enabled. VLAN 1 has IP address 192.168.1.1. Restore the default factory configuration using the configure factory-default command. Use the procedures in this chapter to modify the default configuration, for example, to add VLAN interfaces. If you do not have a factory default configuration, all switch ports are in VLAN 1, but no other parameters are configured. VLAN MAC Addresses In routed firewall mode, all VLAN interfaces share a MAC address. Ensure that any connected switches can support this scenario. If the connected switches require unique MAC addresses, you can manually assign MAC addresses. In transparent firewall mode, each VLAN has a unique MAC address. You can override the generated MAC addresses if desired by manually assigning MAC addresses. Power Over Ethernet Ethernet 0/6 and Ethernet 0/7 support PoE for devices such as IP phones or wireless access points. If you install a non-PoE device or do not connect to these switch ports, the adaptive security appliance does not supply power to the switch ports. If you shut down the switch port using the shutdown command, you disable power to the device. Power is restored when you enter no shutdown. See the “Configuring Switch Ports as Access Ports” section on page 4-9 for more information about shutting down a switch port. To view the status of PoE switch ports, including the type of device connected (Cisco or IEEE 802.3af), use the show power inline command. Monitoring Traffic Using SPAN If you want to monitor traffic that enters or exits one or more switch ports, you can enable SPAN, also known as switch port monitoring. The port for which you enable SPAN (called the destination port) receives a copy of every packet transmitted or received on a specified source port. The SPAN feature lets you attach a sniffer to the destination port so you can monitor all traffic; without SPAN, you would have to attach a sniffer to every port you want to monitor. You can only enable SPAN for one destination port. 4-5 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 4 Configuring Switch Ports and VLAN Interfaces for the Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance Configuring VLAN Interfaces See the switchport monitor command in the Cisco Security Appliance Command Reference for more information. Security Level Overview Each VLAN interface must have a security level in the range 0 to 100 (from lowest to highest). For example, you should assign your most secure network, such as the inside business network, to level 100. The outside network connected to the Internet can be level 0. Other networks, such as a home network can be in-between. You can assign interfaces to the same security level. The level controls the following behavior: • Network access—By default, there is an implicit permit from a higher security interface to a lower security interface (outbound). Hosts on the higher security interface can access any host on a lower security interface. You can limit access by applying an access list to the interface. • If you enable communication for same security interfaces, there is an implicit permit for interfaces to access other interfaces on the same security level or lower. See the “Allowing Communication Between VLAN Interfaces on the Same Security Level” section on page 4-13 for more information. • Inspection engines—Some application inspection engines are dependent on the security level. For same security interfaces, inspection engines apply to traffic in either direction. – NetBIOS inspection engine—Applied only for outbound connections. – SQL*Net inspection engine—If a control connection for the SQL*Net (formerly OraServ) port exists between a pair of hosts, then only an inbound data connection is permitted through the adaptive security appliance. • Filtering—HTTP(S) and FTP filtering applies only for outbound connections (from a higher level to a lower level). For same security interfaces, you can filter traffic in either direction. • NAT control—When you enable NAT control, you must configure NAT for hosts on a higher security interface (inside) when they access hosts on a lower security interface (outside). Without NAT control, or for same security interfaces, you can choose to use NAT between any interface, or you can choose not to use NAT. Keep in mind that configuring NAT for an outside interface might require a special keyword. • established command—This command allows return connections from a lower security host to a higher security host if there is already an established connection from the higher level host to the lower level host. For same security interfaces, you can configure established commands for both directions. Configuring VLAN Interfaces For each VLAN to pass traffic, you need to configure an interface name (the nameif command), and for routed mode, an IP address. You should also change the security level from the default, which is 0. If you name an interface “inside” and you do not set the security level explicitly, then the adaptive security appliance sets the security level to 100. For information about how many VLANs you can configure, see the “Maximum Active VLAN Interfaces for Your License” section on page 4-2. 4-6 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 4 Configuring Switch Ports and VLAN Interfaces for the Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance Configuring VLAN Interfaces Note If you are using failover, do not use this procedure to name interfaces that you are reserving for failover communications. See Chapter 14, “Configuring Failover,” to configure the failover link. If you change the security level of an interface, and you do not want to wait for existing connections to time out before the new security information is used, you can clear the connections using the clear local-host command. To configure a VLAN interface, perform the following steps: Step 1 To specify the VLAN ID, enter the following command: hostname(config)# interface vlan number Where the number is between 1 and 4090. For example, enter the following command: hostname(config)# interface vlan 100 To remove this VLAN interface and all associated configuration, enter the no interface vlan command. Because this interface also includes the interface name configuration, and the name is used in other commands, those commands are also removed. Step 2 (Optional) For the Base license, allow this interface to be the third VLAN by limiting it from initiating contact to one other VLAN using the following command: hostname(config-if)# no forward interface vlan number Where number specifies the VLAN ID to which this VLAN interface cannot initiate traffic. With the Base license, you can only configure a third VLAN if you use this command to limit it. For example, you have one VLAN assigned to the outside for Internet access, one VLAN assigned to an inside business network, and a third VLAN assigned to your home network. The home network does not need to access the business network, so you can use the no forward interface command on the home VLAN; the business network can access the home network, but the home network cannot access the business network. If you already have two VLAN interfaces configured with a nameif command, be sure to enter the no forward interface command before the nameif command on the third interface; the adaptive security appliance does not allow three fully functioning VLAN interfaces with the Base license on the ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance. Note If you upgrade to the Security Plus license, you can remove this command and achieve full functionality for this interface. If you leave this command in place, this interface continues to be limited even after upgrading. Step 3 To name the interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# nameif name The name is a text string up to 48 characters, and is not case-sensitive. You can change the name by reentering this command with a new value. Do not enter the no form, because that command causes all commands that refer to that name to be deleted. Step 4 To set the security level, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# security-level number 4-7 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 4 Configuring Switch Ports and VLAN Interfaces for the Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance Configuring VLAN Interfaces Where number is an integer between 0 (lowest) and 100 (highest). Step 5 (Routed mode only) To set the IP address, enter one of the following commands. Note To set an IPv6 address, see the “Configuring IPv6 on an Interface” section on page 12-3. To set the management IP address for transparent firewall mode, see the “Setting the Management IP Address for a Transparent Firewall” section on page 8-5. In transparent mode, you do not set the IP address for each interface, but rather for the whole adaptive security appliance or context. For failover, you must set the IP address an standby address manually; DHCP and PPPoE are not supported. • To set the IP address manually, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# ip address ip_address [mask] [standby ip_address] The standby keyword and address is used for failover. See Chapter 14, “Configuring Failover,” for more information. • To obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# ip address dhcp [setroute] Reenter this command to reset the DHCP lease and request a new lease. If you do not enable the interface using the no shutdown command before you enter the ip address dhcp command, some DHCP requests might not be sent. • To obtain an IP address from a PPPoE server, see Chapter 35, “Configuring the PPPoE Client.” Step 6 (Optional) To assign a private MAC address to this interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# mac-address mac_address [standby mac_address] By default in routed mode, all VLANs use the same MAC address. In transparent mode, the VLANs use unique MAC addresses. You might want to set unique VLANs or change the generated VLANs if your switch requires it, or for access control purposes. Step 7 (Optional) To set an interface to management-only mode, so that it does not allow through traffic, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# management-only Step 8 By default, VLAN interfaces are enabled. To enable the interface, if it is not already enabled, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# no shutdown To disable the interface, enter the shutdown command. The following example configures seven VLAN interfaces, including the failover interface which is configured separately using the failover lan command: hostname(config)# interface vlan 100 hostname(config-if)# nameif outside hostname(config-if)# security-level 0 hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 4-8 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 4 Configuring Switch Ports and VLAN Interfaces for the Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance Configuring VLAN Interfaces hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface vlan 200 hostname(config-if)# nameif inside hostname(config-if)# security-level 100 hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.2.1.1 255.255.255.0 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface vlan 201 hostname(config-if)# nameif dept1 hostname(config-if)# security-level 90 hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.2.2.1 255.255.255.0 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface vlan 202 hostname(config-if)# nameif dept2 hostname(config-if)# security-level 90 hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.2.3.1 255.255.255.0 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface vlan 300 hostname(config-if)# nameif dmz hostname(config-if)# security-level 50 hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.3.1.1 255.255.255.0 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface vlan 400 hostname(config-if)# nameif backup-isp hostname(config-if)# security-level 50 hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.1.2.1 255.255.255.0 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# failover lan faillink vlan500 hostname(config)# failover interface ip faillink 10.4.1.1 255.255.255.0 standby 10.4.1.2 255.255.255.0 The following example configures three VLAN interfaces for the Base license. The third home interface cannot forward traffic to the business interface. hostname(config)# interface vlan 100 hostname(config-if)# nameif outside hostname(config-if)# security-level 0 hostname(config-if)# ip address dhcp hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface vlan 200 hostname(config-if)# nameif business hostname(config-if)# security-level 100 hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface vlan 300 hostname(config-if)# no forward interface vlan 200 hostname(config-if)# nameif home hostname(config-if)# security-level 50 hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.2.1.1 255.255.255.0 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown 4-9 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 4 Configuring Switch Ports and VLAN Interfaces for the Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance Configuring Switch Ports as Access Ports Configuring Switch Ports as Access Ports By default, all switch ports are shut down. To assign a switch port to one VLAN, configure it as an access port. To create a trunk port to carry multiple VLANs, see the “Configuring a Switch Port as a Trunk Port” section on page 4-11. By default, the speed and duplex for switch ports are set to auto-negotiate. The default auto-negotiation setting also includes the Auto-MDI/MDIX feature. Auto-MDI/MDIX eliminates the need for crossover cabling by performing an internal crossover when a straight cable is detected during the auto-negotiation phase. Either the speed or duplex must be set to auto-negotiate to enable Auto-MDI/MDIX for the interface. If you explicitly set both the speed and duplex to a fixed value, thus disabling auto-negotiation for both settings, then Auto-MDI/MDIX is also disabled. Caution The ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance does not support Spanning Tree Protocol for loop detection in the network. Therefore you must ensure that any connection with the adaptive security appliance does not end up in a network loop. To configure a switch port, perform the following steps: Step 1 To specify the switch port you want to configure, enter the following command: hostname(config)# interface ethernet0/port Where port is 0 through 7. For example, enter the following command: hostname(config)# interface ethernet0/1 Step 2 To assign this switch port to a VLAN, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# switchport access vlan number Where number is the VLAN ID, between 1 and 4090. Note You might assign multiple switch ports to the primary or backup VLANs if the Internet access device includes Layer 2 redundancy. Step 3 (Optional) To prevent the switch port from communicating with other protected switch ports on the same VLAN, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# switchport protected You might want to prevent switch ports from communicating with each other if the devices on those switch ports are primarily accessed from other VLANs, you do not need to allow intra-VLAN access, and you want to isolate the devices from each other in case of infection or other security breach. For example, if you have a DMZ that hosts three web servers, you can isolate the web servers from each other if you apply the switchport protected command to each switch port. The inside and outside networks can both communicate with all three web servers, and vice versa, but the web servers cannot communicate with each other. Step 4 (Optional) To set the speed, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# speed {auto | 10 | 100} 4-10 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 4 Configuring Switch Ports and VLAN Interfaces for the Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance Configuring Switch Ports as Access Ports The auto setting is the default. If you set the speed to anything other than auto on PoE ports Ethernet 0/6 or 0/7, then Cisco IP phones and Cisco wireless access points that do not support IEEE 802.3af will not be detected and supplied with power. Step 5 (Optional) To set the duplex, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# duplex {auto | full | half} The auto setting is the default. If you set the duplex to anything other than auto on PoE ports Ethernet 0/6 or 0/7, then Cisco IP phones and Cisco wireless access points that do not support IEEE 802.3af will not be detected and supplied with power. Step 6 To enable the switch port, if it is not already enabled, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# no shutdown To disable the switch port, enter the shutdown command. The following example configures five VLAN interfaces, including the failover interface which is configured using the failover lan command: hostname(config)# interface vlan 100 hostname(config-if)# nameif outside hostname(config-if)# security-level 0 hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface vlan 200 hostname(config-if)# nameif inside hostname(config-if)# security-level 100 hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.2.1.1 255.255.255.0 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface vlan 300 hostname(config-if)# nameif dmz hostname(config-if)# security-level 50 hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.3.1.1 255.255.255.0 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface vlan 400 hostname(config-if)# nameif backup-isp hostname(config-if)# security-level 50 hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.1.2.1 255.255.255.0 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# failover lan faillink vlan500 hostname(config)# failover interface ip faillink 10.4.1.1 255.255.255.0 standby 10.4.1.2 255.255.255.0 hostname(config)# interface ethernet 0/0 hostname(config-if)# switchport access vlan 100 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface ethernet 0/1 hostname(config-if)# switchport access vlan 200 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface ethernet 0/2 hostname(config-if)# switchport access vlan 300 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface ethernet 0/3 4-11 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 4 Configuring Switch Ports and VLAN Interfaces for the Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance Configuring a Switch Port as a Trunk Port hostname(config-if)# switchport access vlan 400 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface ethernet 0/4 hostname(config-if)# switchport access vlan 500 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown Configuring a Switch Port as a Trunk Port By default, all switch ports are shut down. This procedure tells how to create a trunk port that can carry multiple VLANs using 802.1Q tagging. Trunk mode is available only with the Security Plus license. To create an access port, where an interface is assigned to only one VLAN, see the “Configuring Switch Ports as Access Ports” section on page 4-9. By default, the speed and duplex for switch ports are set to auto-negotiate. The default auto-negotiation setting also includes the Auto-MDI/MDIX feature. Auto-MDI/MDIX eliminates the need for crossover cabling by performing an internal crossover when a straight cable is detected during the auto-negotiation phase. Either the speed or duplex must be set to auto-negotiate to enable Auto-MDI/MDIX for the interface. If you explicitly set both the speed and duplex to a fixed value, thus disabling auto-negotiation for both settings, then Auto-MDI/MDIX is also disabled. To configure a trunk port, perform the following steps: Step 1 To specify the switch port you want to configure, enter the following command: hostname(config)# interface ethernet0/port Where port is 0 through 7. For example, enter the following command: hostname(config)# interface ethernet0/1 Step 2 To assign VLANs to this trunk, enter one or more of the following commands. • To assign native VLANs, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# switchport trunk native vlan vlan_id where the vlan_id is a single VLAN ID between 1 and 4090. Packets on the native VLAN are not modified when sent over the trunk. For example, if a port has VLANs 2, 3 and 4 assigned to it, and VLAN 2 is the native VLAN, then packets on VLAN 2 that egress the port are not modified with an 802.1Q header. Frames which ingress (enter) this port and have no 802.1Q header are put into VLAN 2. Each port can only have one native VLAN, but every port can have either the same or a different native VLAN. • To assign VLANs, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan vlan_range where the vlan_range (with VLANs between 1 and 4090) can be identified in one of the following ways: A single number (n) A range (n-x) Separate numbers and ranges by commas, for example: 4-12 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 4 Configuring Switch Ports and VLAN Interfaces for the Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance Configuring a Switch Port as a Trunk Port 5,7-10,13,45-100 You can enter spaces instead of commas, but the command is saved to the configuration with commas. You can include the native VLAN in this command, but it is not required; the native VLAN is passed whether it is included in this command or not. This switch port cannot pass traffic until you assign at least one VLAN to it, native or non-native. Step 3 To make this switch port a trunk port, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# switchport mode trunk To restore this port to access mode, enter the switchport mode access command. Step 4 (Optional) To prevent the switch port from communicating with other protected switch ports on the same VLAN, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# switchport protected You might want to prevent switch ports from communicating with each other if the devices on those switch ports are primarily accessed from other VLANs, you do not need to allow intra-VLAN access, and you want to isolate the devices from each other in case of infection or other security breach. For example, if you have a DMZ that hosts three web servers, you can isolate the web servers from each other if you apply the switchport protected command to each switch port. The inside and outside networks can both communicate with all three web servers, and vice versa, but the web servers cannot communicate with each other. Step 5 (Optional) To set the speed, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# speed {auto | 10 | 100} The auto setting is the default. Step 6 (Optional) To set the duplex, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# duplex {auto | full | half} The auto setting is the default. Step 7 To enable the switch port, if it is not already enabled, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# no shutdown To disable the switch port, enter the shutdown command. The following example configures seven VLAN interfaces, including the failover interface which is configured using the failover lan command. VLANs 200, 201, and 202 are trunked on Ethernet 0/1. hostname(config)# interface vlan 100 hostname(config-if)# nameif outside hostname(config-if)# security-level 0 hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface vlan 200 hostname(config-if)# nameif inside hostname(config-if)# security-level 100 hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.2.1.1 255.255.255.0 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface vlan 201 hostname(config-if)# nameif dept1 4-13 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 4 Configuring Switch Ports and VLAN Interfaces for the Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance Allowing Communication Between VLAN Interfaces on the Same Security Level hostname(config-if)# security-level 90 hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.2.2.1 255.255.255.0 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface vlan 202 hostname(config-if)# nameif dept2 hostname(config-if)# security-level 90 hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.2.3.1 255.255.255.0 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface vlan 300 hostname(config-if)# nameif dmz hostname(config-if)# security-level 50 hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.3.1.1 255.255.255.0 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface vlan 400 hostname(config-if)# nameif backup-isp hostname(config-if)# security-level 50 hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.1.2.1 255.255.255.0 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# failover lan faillink vlan500 hostname(config)# failover interface ip faillink 10.4.1.1 255.255.255.0 standby 10.4.1.2 255.255.255.0 hostname(config)# interface ethernet 0/0 hostname(config-if)# switchport access vlan 100 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface ethernet 0/1 hostname(config-if)# switchport mode trunk hostname(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 200-202 hostname(config-if)# switchport trunk native vlan 5 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface ethernet 0/2 hostname(config-if)# switchport access vlan 300 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface ethernet 0/3 hostname(config-if)# switchport access vlan 400 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface ethernet 0/4 hostname(config-if)# switchport access vlan 500 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown Allowing Communication Between VLAN Interfaces on the Same Security Level By default, interfaces on the same security level cannot communicate with each other. Allowing communication between same security interfaces lets traffic flow freely between all same security interfaces without access lists. 4-14 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 4 Configuring Switch Ports and VLAN Interfaces for the Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance Allowing Communication Between VLAN Interfaces on the Same Security Level Note If you enable NAT control, you do not need to configure NAT between same security level interfaces. See the “NAT and Same Security Level Interfaces” section on page 17-13 for more information on NAT and same security level interfaces. If you enable same security interface communication, you can still configure interfaces at different security levels as usual. To enable interfaces on the same security level so that they can communicate with each other, enter the following command: hostname(config)# same-security-traffic permit inter-interface To disable this setting, use the no form of this command. CH A P T E R 5-1 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 5 Configuring Ethernet Settings and Subinterfaces This chapter describes how to configure and enable physical Ethernet interfaces and how to add subinterfaces. If you have both fiber and copper Ethernet ports (for example, on the 4GE SSM for the ASA 5510 and higher series adaptive security appliance), this chapter describes how to configure the inteface media type. In single context mode, complete the procedures in this chapter and then continue your interface configuration in Chapter 7, “Configuring Interface Parameters.” In multiple context mode, complete the procedures in this chapter in the system execution space, then assign interfaces and subinterfaces to contexts according to Chapter 6, “Adding and Managing Security Contexts,” and finally configure the interface parameters within each context according to Chapter 7, “Configuring Interface Parameters.” Note To configure interfaces for the ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance, see Chapter 4, “Configuring Switch Ports and VLAN Interfaces for the Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance.” This chapter includes the following sections: • Configuring and Enabling RJ-45 Interfaces, page 5-1 • Configuring and Enabling Fiber Interfaces, page 5-3 • Configuring and Enabling VLAN Subinterfaces and 802.1Q Trunking, page 5-3 Configuring and Enabling RJ-45 Interfaces This section describes how to configure Ethernet settings for physical interfaces, and how to enable the interface. By default, all physical interfaces are shut down. You must enable the physical interface before any traffic can pass through it or through a subinterface. For multiple context mode, if you allocate a physical interface or subinterface to a context, the interfaces are enabled by default in the context. However, before traffic can pass through the context interface, you must also enable the interface in the system configuration according to this procedure. By default, the speed and duplex for copper (RJ-45) interfaces are set to auto-negotiate. The ASA 5550 adaptive security appliance and the 4GE SSM for the ASA 5510 and higher adaptive security appliance includes two connector types: copper RJ-45 and fiber SFP. RJ-45 is the default. If you want to configure the security appliance to use the fiber SFP connectors, see the “Configuring and Enabling Fiber Interfaces” section on page 5-3. For RJ-45 interfaces on the ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance, the default auto-negotiation setting also includes the Auto-MDI/MDIX feature. Auto-MDI/MDIX eliminates the need for crossover cabling by performing an internal crossover when a straight cable is detected during the auto-negotiation 5-2 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 5 Configuring Ethernet Settings and Subinterfaces Configuring and Enabling RJ-45 Interfaces phase. Either the speed or duplex must be set to auto-negotiate to enable Auto-MDI/MDIX for the interface. If you explicitly set both the speed and duplex to a fixed value, thus disabling auto-negotiation for both settings, then Auto-MDI/MDIX is also disabled. For Gigabit Ethernet, when the speed and duplex are set to 1000 and full, then the interface always auto-negotiates; therefore Auto-MDI/MDIX is always enabled and you cannot disable it. To enable the interface, or to set a specific speed and duplex, perform the following steps: Step 1 To specify the interface you want to configure, enter the following command: hostname(config)# interface physical_interface The physical_interface ID includes the type, slot, and port number as type[slot/]port. The physical interface types include the following: • ethernet • gigabitethernet For the PIX 500 series security appliance, enter the type followed by the port number, for example, ethernet0. For the ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance, enter the type followed by slot/port, for example, gigabitethernet0/1. Interfaces that are built into the chassis are assigned to slot 0, while interfaces on the 4GE SSM are assigned to slot 1. The ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance also includes the following type: • management The management interface is a Fast Ethernet interface designed for management traffic only, and is specified as management0/0. You can, however, use it for through traffic if desired (see the management-only command). In transparent firewall mode, you can use the management interface in addition to the two interfaces allowed for through traffic. You can also add subinterfaces to the management interface to provide management in each security context for multiple context mode. Step 2 (Optional) To set the speed, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# speed {auto | 10 | 100 | 1000 | nonegotiate} The auto setting is the default. The speed nonegotiate command disables link negotiation. Step 3 (Optional) To set the duplex, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# duplex {auto | full | half} The auto setting is the default. Step 4 To enable the interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# no shutdown To disable the interface, enter the shutdown command. If you enter the shutdown command for a physical interface, you also shut down all subinterfaces. If you shut down an interface in the system execution space, then that interface is shut down in all contexts that share it. 5-3 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 5 Configuring Ethernet Settings and Subinterfaces Configuring and Enabling Fiber Interfaces Configuring and Enabling Fiber Interfaces This section describes how to configure Ethernet settings for physical interfaces, and how to enable the interface. By default, all physical interfaces are shut down. You must enable the physical interface before any traffic can pass through it or through a subinterface. For multiple context mode, if you allocate a physical interface or subinterface to a context, the interfaces are enabled by default in the context. However, before traffic can pass through the context interface, you must also enable the interface in the system configuration according to this procedure. By default, the connectors used on the 4GE SSM or for built-in interfaces in slot 1 on the ASA 5550 adaptive security appliance are the RJ-45 connectors. To use the fiber SFP connectors, you must set the media type to SFP. The fiber interface has a fixed speed and does not support duplex, but you can set the interface to negotiate link parameters (the default) or not to negotiate. To enable the interface, set the media type, or to set negotiation settings, perform the following steps: Step 1 To specify the interface you want to configure, enter the following command: hostname(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/port The 4GE SSM interfaces are assigned to slot 1, as shown in the interface ID in the syntax (the interfaces built into the chassis are assigned to slot 0). Step 2 To set the media type to SFP, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# media-type sfp To restore the defaukt RJ-45, enter the media-type rj45 command. Step 3 (Optional) To disable link negotiation, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# speed nonegotiate For fiber Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, the default is no speed nonegotiate, which sets the speed to 1000 Mbps and enables link negotiation for flow-control parameters and remote fault information. The speed nonegotiate command disables link negotiation. Step 4 To enable the interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# no shutdown To disable the interface, enter the shutdown command. If you enter the shutdown command for a physical interface, you also shut down all subinterfaces. If you shut down an interface in the system execution space, then that interface is shut down in all contexts that share it. Configuring and Enabling VLAN Subinterfaces and 802.1Q Trunking This section describes how to configure and enable a VLAN subinterface. An interface with one or more VLAN subinterfaces is automatically configured as an 802.1Q trunk. 5-4 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 5 Configuring Ethernet Settings and Subinterfaces Configuring and Enabling VLAN Subinterfaces and 802.1Q Trunking You must enable the physical interface before any traffic can pass through an enabled subinterface (see the “Configuring and Enabling RJ-45 Interfaces” section on page 5-1 or the “Configuring and Enabling Fiber Interfaces” section on page 5-3). For multiple context mode, if you allocate a subinterface to a context, the interfaces are enabled by default in the context. However, before traffic can pass through the context interface, you must also enable the interface in the system configuration with this procedure. Subinterfaces let you divide a physical interface into multiple logical interfaces that are tagged with different VLAN IDs. Because VLANs allow you to keep traffic separate on a given physical interface, you can increase the number of interfaces available to your network without adding additional physical interfaces or security appliances. This feature is particularly useful in multiple context mode so you can assign unique interfaces to each context. To determine how many subinterfaces are allowed for your platform, see Appendix A, “Feature Licenses and Specifications.” Note If you use subinterfaces, you typically do not also want the physical interface to pass traffic, because the physical interface passes untagged packets. Because the physical interface must be enabled for the subinterface to pass traffic, ensure that the physical interface does not pass traffic by leaving out the nameif command. If you want to let the physical interface pass untagged packets, you can configure the nameif command as usual. See the “Configuring Interface Parameters” section on page 7-1 for more information about completing the interface configuration. To add a subinterface and assign a VLAN to it, perform the following steps: Step 1 To specify the new subinterface, enter the following command: hostname(config)# interface physical_interface.subinterface See the “Configuring and Enabling RJ-45 Interfaces” section for a description of the physical interface ID. The subinterface ID is an integer between 1 and 4294967293. For example, enter the following command: hostname(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1.100 Step 2 To specify the VLAN for the subinterface, enter the following command: hostname(config-subif)# vlan vlan_id The vlan_id is an integer between 1 and 4094. Some VLAN IDs might be reserved on connected switches, so check the switch documentation for more information. You can only assign a single VLAN to a subinterface, and not to the physical interface. Each subinterface must have a VLAN ID before it can pass traffic. To change a VLAN ID, you do not need to remove the old VLAN ID with the no option; you can enter the vlan command with a different VLAN ID, and the security appliance changes the old ID. Step 3 To enable the subinterface, enter the following command: hostname(config-subif)# no shutdown To disable the interface, enter the shutdown command. If you shut down an interface in the system execution space, then that interface is shut down in all contexts that share it. CH A P T E R 6-1 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 6 Adding and Managing Security Contexts This chapter describes how to configure multiple security contexts on the security appliance, and includes the following sections: • Configuring Resource Management, page 6-1 • Configuring a Security Context, page 6-7 • Automatically Assigning MAC Addresses to Context Interfaces, page 6-11 • Changing Between Contexts and the System Execution Space, page 6-11 • Managing Security Contexts, page 6-12 For information about how contexts work and how to enable multiple context mode, see Chapter 3, “Enabling Multiple Context Mode.” Configuring Resource Management By default, all security contexts have unlimited access to the resources of the security appliance, except where maximum limits per context are enforced. However, if you find that one or more contexts use too many resources, and they cause other contexts to be denied connections, for example, then you can configure resource management to limit the use of resources per context. This section includes the following topics: • Classes and Class Members Overview, page 6-1 • Configuring a Class, page 6-4 Classes and Class Members Overview The security appliance manages resources by assigning contexts to resource classes. Each context uses the resource limits set by the class. This section includes the following topics: • Resource Limits, page 6-2 • Default Class, page 6-3 • Class Members, page 6-4 6-2 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 6 Adding and Managing Security Contexts Configuring Resource Management Resource Limits When you create a class, the security appliance does not set aside a portion of the resources for each context assigned to the class; rather, the security appliance sets the maximum limit for a context. If you oversubscribe resources, or allow some resources to be unlimited, a few contexts can “use up” those resources, potentially affecting service to other contexts. You can set the limit for individual resources, as a percentage (if there is a hard system limit) or as an absolute value. You can oversubscribe the security appliance by assigning more than 100 percent of a resource across all contexts. For example, you can set the Bronze class to limit connections to 20 percent per context, and then assign 10 contexts to the class for a total of 200 percent. If contexts concurrently use more than the system limit, then each context gets less than the 20 percent you intended. (See Figure 6-1.) Figure 6-1 Resource Oversubscription If you assign an absolute value to a resource across all contexts that exceeds the practical limit of the security appliance, then the performance of the security appliance might be impaired. The security appliance lets you assign unlimited access to one or more resources in a class, instead of a percentage or absolute number. When a resource is unlimited, contexts can use as much of the resource as the system has available or that is practically available. For example, Context A, B, and C are in the Silver Class, which limits each class member to 1 percent of the connections, for a total of 3 percent; but the three contexts are currently only using 2 percent combined. Gold Class has unlimited access to connections. The contexts in the Gold Class can use more than the 97 percent of “unassigned” connections; they can also use the 1 percent of connections not currently in use by Context A, B, and C, even if that means that Context A, B, and C are unable to reach their 3 percent combined limit. (See Figure 6-2.) Setting unlimited access is similar to oversubscribing the security appliance, except that you have less control over how much you oversubscribe the system. Total Number of System Connections = 999,900 Maximum connections allowed. Connections denied because system limit was reached. Connections in use. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Max. 20% (199,800) 16% (159,984) 12% (119,988) 8% (79,992) 4% (39,996) Contexts in Class 104895 6-3 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 6 Adding and Managing Security Contexts Configuring Resource Management Figure 6-2 Unlimited Resources Default Class All contexts belong to the default class if they are not assigned to another class; you do not have to actively assign a context to the default class. If a context belongs to a class other than the default class, those class settings always override the default class settings. However, if the other class has any settings that are not defined, then the member context uses the default class for those limits. For example, if you create a class with a 2 percent limit for all concurrent connections, but no other limits, then all other limits are inherited from the default class. Conversely, if you create a class with a limit for all resources, the class uses no settings from the default class. By default, the default class provides unlimited access to resources for all contexts, except for the following limits, which are by default set to the maximum allowed per context: • Telnet sessions—5 sessions. • SSH sessions—5 sessions. • IPSec sessions—5 sessions. • MAC addresses—65,535 entries. Maximum connections allowed. Connections denied because system limit was reached. Connections in use. A B C 1 2 3 1% 2% 3% 5% 4% Contexts Silver Class Contexts Gold Class 50% 43% 153211 6-4 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 6 Adding and Managing Security Contexts Configuring Resource Management Figure 6-3 shows the relationship between the default class and other classes. Contexts A and C belong to classes with some limits set; other limits are inherited from the default class. Context B inherits no limits from default because all limits are set in its class, the Gold class. Context D was not assigned to a class, and is by default a member of the default class. Figure 6-3 Resource Classes Class Members To use the settings of a class, assign the context to the class when you define the context. All contexts belong to the default class if they are not assigned to another class; you do not have to actively assign a context to default. You can only assign a context to one resource class. The exception to this rule is that limits that are undefined in the member class are inherited from the default class; so in effect, a context could be a member of default plus another class. Configuring a Class To configure a class in the system configuration, perform the following steps. You can change the value of a particular resource limit by reentering the command with a new value. Step 1 To specify the class name and enter the class configuration mode, enter the following command in the system execution space: hostname(config)# class name The name is a string up to 20 characters long. To set the limits for the default class, enter default for the name. Step 2 To set the resource limits, see the following options: • To set all resource limits (shown in Table 6-1) to be unlimited, enter the following command: hostname(config-resmgmt)# limit-resource all 0 Default Class Class Gold (All Limits Set) Class Silver (Some Limits Set) Class Bronze (Some Limits Set) Context A Context B Context C Context D 104689 6-5 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 6 Adding and Managing Security Contexts Configuring Resource Management For example, you might want to create a class that includes the admin context that has no limitations. The default class has all resources set to unlimited by default. • To set a particular resource limit, enter the following command: hostname(config-resmgmt)# limit-resource [rate] resource_name number[%] For this particular resource, the limit overrides the limit set for all. Enter the rate argument to set the rate per second for certain resources. For resources that do not have a system limit, you cannot set the percentage (%) between 1 and 100; you can only set an absolute value. See Table 6-1 for resources for which you can set the rate per second and which to not have a system limit. Table 6-1 lists the resource types and the limits. See also the show resource types command. 6-6 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 6 Adding and Managing Security Contexts Configuring Resource Management For example, to set the default class limit for conns to 10 percent instead of unlimited, enter the following commands: hostname(config)# class default hostname(config-class)# limit-resource conns 10% All other resources remain at unlimited. To add a class called gold, enter the following commands: hostname(config)# class gold Table 6-1 Resource Names and Limits Resource Name Rate or Concurrent Minimum and Maximum Number per Context System Limit1 1. If this column value is N/A, then you cannot set a percentage of the resource because there is no hard system limit for the resource.

Note If you do not have an admin context (for example, if you clear the configuration) then you must first specify the admin context name by entering the following command: hostname(config)# admin-context name Although this context name does not exist yet in your configuration, you can subsequently enter the context name command to match the specified name to continue the admin context configuration. To add or change a context in the system configuration, perform the following steps: Step 1 To add or modify a context, enter the following command in the system execution space: hostname(config)# context name The name is a string up to 32 characters long. This name is case sensitive, so you can have two contexts named “customerA” and “CustomerA,” for example. You can use letters, digits, or hyphens, but you cannot start or end the name with a hyphen. “System” or “Null” (in upper or lower case letters) are reserved names, and cannot be used. Step 2 (Optional) To add a description for this context, enter the following command: hostname(config-ctx)# description text Step 3 To specify the interfaces you can use in the context, enter the command appropriate for a physical interface or for one or more subinterfaces. • To allocate a physical interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-ctx)# allocate-interface physical_interface [map_name] [visible | invisible] • To allocate one or more subinterfaces, enter the following command: hostname(config-ctx)# allocate-interface physical_interface.subinterface[-physical_interface.subinterface] [map_name[-map_name]] [visible | invisible] 6-8 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 6 Adding and Managing Security Contexts Configuring a Security Context You can enter these commands multiple times to specify different ranges. If you remove an allocation with the no form of this command, then any context commands that include this interface are removed from the running configuration. Transparent firewall mode allows only two interfaces to pass through traffic; however, on the ASA adaptive security appliance, you can use the dedicated management interface, Management 0/0, (either the physical interface or a subinterface) as a third interface for management traffic. Note The management interface for transparent mode does not flood a packet out the interface when that packet is not in the MAC address table. You can assign the same interfaces to multiple contexts in routed mode, if desired. Transparent mode does not allow shared interfaces. The map_name is an alphanumeric alias for the interface that can be used within the context instead of the interface ID. If you do not specify a mapped name, the interface ID is used within the context. For security purposes, you might not want the context administrator to know which interfaces are being used by the context. A mapped name must start with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and have as interior characters only letters, digits, or an underscore. For example, you can use the following names: int0 inta int_0 For subinterfaces, you can specify a range of mapped names. If you specify a range of subinterfaces, you can specify a matching range of mapped names. Follow these guidelines for ranges: • The mapped name must consist of an alphabetic portion followed by a numeric portion. The alphabetic portion of the mapped name must match for both ends of the range. For example, enter the following range: int0-int10 If you enter gigabitethernet0/1.1-gigabitethernet0/1.5 happy1-sad5, for example, the command fails. • The numeric portion of the mapped name must include the same quantity of numbers as the subinterface range. For example, both ranges include 100 interfaces: gigabitethernet0/0.100-gigabitethernet0/0.199 int1-int100 If you enter gigabitethernet0/0.100-gigabitethernet0/0.199 int1-int15, for example, the command fails. Specify visible to see physical interface properties in the show interface command even if you set a mapped name. The default invisible keyword specifies to only show the mapped name. The following example shows gigabitethernet0/1.100, gigabitethernet0/1.200, and gigabitethernet0/2.300 through gigabitethernet0/1.305 assigned to the context. The mapped names are int1 through int8. hostname(config-ctx)# allocate-interface gigabitethernet0/1.100 int1 hostname(config-ctx)# allocate-interface gigabitethernet0/1.200 int2 hostname(config-ctx)# allocate-interface gigabitethernet0/2.300-gigabitethernet0/2.305 int3-int8 6-9 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 6 Adding and Managing Security Contexts Configuring a Security Context Step 4 To identify the URL from which the system downloads the context configuration, enter the following command: hostname(config-ctx)# config-url url When you add a context URL, the system immediately loads the context so that it is running, if the configuration is available. Note Enter the allocate-interface command(s) before you enter the config-url command. The security appliance must assign interfaces to the context before it loads the context configuration; the context configuration might include commands that refer to interfaces (interface, nat, global...). If you enter the config-url command first, the security appliance loads the context configuration immediately. If the context contains any commands that refer to interfaces, those commands fail. See the following URL syntax: • disk:/[path/]filename This URL indicates the internal Flash memory. The filename does not require a file extension, although we recommend using “.cfg”. If the configuration file is not available, you see the following message: WARNING: Could not fetch the URL disk:/url INFO: Creating context with default config You can then change to the context, configure it at the CLI, and enter the write memory command to write the file to Flash memory. Note The admin context file must be stored on the internal Flash memory. • ftp://[user[:password]@]server[:port]/[path/]filename[;type=xx] The type can be one of the following keywords: – ap—ASCII passive mode – an—ASCII normal mode – ip—(Default) Binary passive mode – in—Binary normal mode The server must be accessible from the admin context. The filename does not require a file extension, although we recommend using “.cfg”. If the configuration file is not available, you see the following message: WARNING: Could not fetch the URL ftp://url INFO: Creating context with default config You can then change to the context, configure it at the CLI, and enter the write memory command to write the file to the FTP server. • http[s]://[user[:password]@]server[:port]/[path/]filename The server must be accessible from the admin context. The filename does not require a file extension, although we recommend using “.cfg”. If the configuration file is not available, you see the following message: WARNING: Could not fetch the URL http://url INFO: Creating context with default config 6-10 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 6 Adding and Managing Security Contexts Configuring a Security Context If you change to the context and configure the context at the CLI, you cannot save changes back to HTTP or HTTPS servers using the write memory command. You can, however, use the copy tftp command to copy the running configuration to a TFTP server. • tftp://[user[:password]@]server[:port]/[path/]filename[;int=interface_name] The server must be accessible from the admin context. Specify the interface name if you want to override the route to the server address. The filename does not require a file extension, although we recommend using “.cfg”. If the configuration file is not available, you see the following message: WARNING: Could not fetch the URL tftp://url INFO: Creating context with default config You can then change to the context, configure it at the CLI, and enter the write memory command to write the file to the TFTP server. To change the URL, reenter the config-url command with a new URL. See the “Changing the Security Context URL” section on page 6-13 for more information about changing the URL. For example, enter the following command: hostname(config-ctx)# config-url ftp://joe:passw0rd1@10.1.1.1/configlets/test.cfg Step 5 (Optional) To assign the context to a resource class, enter the following command: hostname(config-ctx)# member class_name If you do not specify a class, the context belongs to the default class. You can only assign a context to one resource class. For example, to assign the context to the gold class, enter the following command: hostname(config-ctx)# member gold Step 6 To view context information, see the show context command in the Cisco Security Appliance Command Reference. The following example sets the admin context to be “administrator,” creates a context called “administrator” on the internal Flash memory, and then adds two contexts from an FTP server: hostname(config)# admin-context administrator hostname(config)# context administrator hostname(config-ctx)# allocate-interface gigabitethernet0/0.1 hostname(config-ctx)# allocate-interface gigabitethernet0/1.1 hostname(config-ctx)# config-url flash:/admin.cfg hostname(config-ctx)# context test hostname(config-ctx)# allocate-interface gigabitethernet0/0.100 int1 hostname(config-ctx)# allocate-interface gigabitethernet0/0.102 int2 hostname(config-ctx)# allocate-interface gigabitethernet0/0.110-gigabitethernet0/0.115 int3-int8 hostname(config-ctx)# config-url ftp://user1:passw0rd@10.1.1.1/configlets/test.cfg hostname(config-ctx)# member gold hostname(config-ctx)# context sample hostname(config-ctx)# allocate-interface gigabitethernet0/1.200 int1 hostname(config-ctx)# allocate-interface gigabitethernet0/1.212 int2 hostname(config-ctx)# allocate-interface gigabitethernet0/1.230-gigabitethernet0/1.235 int3-int8 6-11 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 6 Adding and Managing Security Contexts Automatically Assigning MAC Addresses to Context Interfaces hostname(config-ctx)# config-url ftp://user1:passw0rd@10.1.1.1/configlets/sample.cfg hostname(config-ctx)# member silver Automatically Assigning MAC Addresses to Context Interfaces To allow contexts to share interfaces, we suggest that you assign unique MAC addresses to each context interface. The MAC address is used to classify packets within a context. If you share an interface, but do not have unique MAC addresses for the interface in each context, then the destination IP address is used to classify packets. The destination address is matched with the context NAT configuration, and this method has some limitations compared to the MAC address method. See the “How the Security Appliance Classifies Packets” section on page 3-3 for information about classifying packets. By default, the physical interface uses the burned-in MAC address, and all subinterfaces of a physical interface use the same burned-in MAC address. You can automatically assign private MAC addresses to each shared context interface by entering the following command in the system configuration: hostname(config)# mac-address auto For use with failover, the security appliance generates both an active and standby MAC address for each interface. If the active unit fails over and the standby unit becomes active, the new active unit starts using the active MAC addresses to minimize network disruption. When you assign an interface to a context, the new MAC address is generated immediately. If you enable this command after you create context interfaces, then MAC addresses are generated for all interfaces immediately after you enter the command. If you use the no mac-address auto command, the MAC address for each interface reverts to the default MAC address. For example, subinterfaces of GigabitEthernet 0/1 revert to using the MAC address of GigabitEthernet 0/1. The MAC address is generated using the following format: • Active unit MAC address: 12_slot.port_subid.contextid. • Standby unit MAC address: 02_slot.port_subid.contextid. For platforms with no interface slots, the slot is always 0. The port is the interface port. The subid is an internal ID for the subinterface, which is not viewable. The contextid is an internal ID for the context, viewable with the show context detail command. For example, the interface GigabitEthernet 0/1.200 in the context with the ID 1 has the following generated MAC addresses, where the internal ID for subinterface 200 is 31: • Active: 1200.0131.0001 • Standby: 0200.0131.0001 In the rare circumstance that the generated MAC address conflicts with another private MAC address in your network, you can manually set the MAC address for the interface within the context. See the “Configuring the Interface” section on page 7-2 to manually set the MAC address. Changing Between Contexts and the System Execution Space If you log in to the system execution space (or the admin context using Telnet or SSH), you can change between contexts and perform configuration and monitoring tasks within each context. The running configuration that you edit in a configuration mode, or that is used in the copy or write commands, 6-12 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 6 Adding and Managing Security Contexts Managing Security Contexts depends on your location. When you are in the system execution space, the running configuration consists only of the system configuration; when you are in a context, the running configuration consists only of that context. For example, you cannot view all running configurations (system plus all contexts) by entering the show running-config command. Only the current configuration displays. To change between the system execution space and a context, or between contexts, see the following commands: • To change to a context, enter the following command: hostname# changeto context name The prompt changes to the following: hostname/name# • To change to the system execution space, enter the following command: hostname/admin# changeto system The prompt changes to the following: hostname# Managing Security Contexts This section describes how to manage security contexts, and includes the following topics: • Removing a Security Context, page 6-12 • Changing the Admin Context, page 6-13 • Changing the Security Context URL, page 6-13 • Reloading a Security Context, page 6-14 • Monitoring Security Contexts, page 6-15 Removing a Security Context You can only remove a context by editing the system configuration. You cannot remove the current admin context, unless you remove all contexts using the clear context command. Note If you use failover, there is a delay between when you remove the context on the active unit and when the context is removed on the standby unit. You might see an error message indicating that the number of interfaces on the active and standby units are not consistent; this error is temporary and can be ignored. Use the following commands for removing contexts: • To remove a single context, enter the following command in the system execution space: hostname(config)# no context name All context commands are also removed. • To remove all contexts (including the admin context), enter the following command in the system execution space: 6-13 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 6 Adding and Managing Security Contexts Managing Security Contexts hostname(config)# clear context Changing the Admin Context The system configuration does not include any network interfaces or network settings for itself; rather, when the system needs to access network resources (such as downloading the contexts from the server), it uses one of the contexts that is designated as the admin context. The admin context is just like any other context, except that when a user logs in to the admin context, then that user has system administrator rights and can access the system and all other contexts. The admin context is not restricted in any way, and can be used as a regular context. However, because logging into the admin context grants you administrator privileges over all contexts, you might need to restrict access to the admin context to appropriate users. You can set any context to be the admin context, as long as the configuration file is stored in the internal Flash memory. To set the admin context, enter the following command in the system execution space: hostname(config)# admin-context context_name Any remote management sessions, such as Telnet, SSH, or HTTPS, that are connected to the admin context are terminated. You must reconnect to the new admin context. Note A few system commands, including ntp server, identify an interface name that belongs to the admin context. If you change the admin context, and that interface name does not exist in the new admin context, be sure to update any system commands that refer to the interface. Changing the Security Context URL You cannot change the security context URL without reloading the configuration from the new URL. The security appliance merges the new configuration with the current running configuration. Reentering the same URL also merges the saved configuration with the running configuration. A merge adds any new commands from the new configuration to the running configuration. If the configurations are the same, no changes occur. If commands conflict or if commands affect the running of the context, then the effect of the merge depends on the command. You might get errors, or you might have unexpected results. If the running configuration is blank (for example, if the server was unavailable and the configuration was never downloaded), then the new configuration is used. If you do not want to merge the configurations, you can clear the running configuration, which disrupts any communications through the context, and then reload the configuration from the new URL. To change the URL for a context, perform the following steps: Step 1 If you do not want to merge the configuration, change to the context and clear its configuration by entering the following commands. If you want to perform a merge, skip to Step 2. hostname# changeto context name hostname/name# configure terminal hostname/name(config)# clear configure all Step 2 If required, change to the system execution space by entering the following command: hostname/name(config)# changeto system 6-14 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 6 Adding and Managing Security Contexts Managing Security Contexts Step 3 To enter the context configuration mode for the context you want to change, enter the following command: hostname(config)# context name Step 4 To enter the new URL, enter the following command: hostname(config)# config-url new_url The system immediately loads the context so that it is running. Reloading a Security Context You can reload the context in two ways: • Clear the running configuration and then import the startup configuration. This action clears most attributes associated with the context, such as connections and NAT tables. • Remove the context from the system configuration. This action clears additional attributes, such as memory allocation, which might be useful for troubleshooting. However, to add the context back to the system requires you to respecify the URL and interfaces. This section includes the following topics: • Reloading by Clearing the Configuration, page 6-14 • Reloading by Removing and Re-adding the Context, page 6-15 Reloading by Clearing the Configuration To reload the context by clearing the context configuration, and reloading the configuration from the URL, perform the following steps: Step 1 To change to the context that you want to reload, enter the following command: hostname# changeto context name Step 2 To access configuration mode, enter the following command: hostname/name# configure terminal Step 3 To clear the running configuration, enter the following command: hostname/name(config)# clear configure all This command clears all connections. Step 4 To reload the configuration, enter the following command: hostname/name(config)# copy startup-config running-config The security appliance copies the configuration from the URL specified in the system configuration. You cannot change the URL from within a context. 6-15 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 6 Adding and Managing Security Contexts Managing Security Contexts Reloading by Removing and Re-adding the Context To reload the context by removing the context and then re-adding it, perform the steps in the following sections: 1. “Automatically Assigning MAC Addresses to Context Interfaces” section on page 6-11 2. “Configuring a Security Context” section on page 6-7 Monitoring Security Contexts This section describes how to view and monitor context information, and includes the following topics: • Viewing Context Information, page 6-15 • Viewing Resource Allocation, page 6-16 • Viewing Resource Usage, page 6-19 • Monitoring SYN Attacks in Contexts, page 6-20 Viewing Context Information From the system execution space, you can view a list of contexts including the name, allocated interfaces, and configuration file URL. From the system execution space, view all contexts by entering the following command: hostname# show context [name | detail| count] The detail option shows additional information. See the following sample displays below for more information. If you want to show information for a particular context, specify the name. The count option shows the total number of contexts. The following is sample output from the show context command. The following sample display shows three contexts: hostname# show context Context Name Interfaces URL *admin GigabitEthernet0/1.100 disk0:/admin.cfg GigabitEthernet0/1.101 contexta GigabitEthernet0/1.200 disk0:/contexta.cfg GigabitEthernet0/1.201 contextb GigabitEthernet0/1.300 disk0:/contextb.cfg GigabitEthernet0/1.301 Total active Security Contexts: 3 Table 6-2 shows each field description.

From the system execution space, view the resource usage for each context by entering the following command: hostname# show resource usage [context context_name | top n | all | summary | system] [resource {resource_name | all} | detail] [counter counter_name [count_threshold]] By default, all context usage is displayed; each context is listed separately. Enter the top n keyword to show the contexts that are the top n users of the specified resource. You must specify a single resource type, and not resource all, with this option. The summary option shows all context usage combined. The system option shows all context usage combined, but shows the system limits for resources instead of the combined context limits. For the resource resource_name, see Table 6-1 for available resource names. See also the show resource type command. Specify all (the default) for all types. The detail option shows the resource usage of all resources, including those you cannot manage. For example, you can view the number of TCP intercepts. The counter counter_name is one of the following keywords: • current—Shows the active concurrent instances or the current rate of the resource. • denied—Shows the number of instances that were denied because they exceeded the resource limit shown in the Limit column. • peak—Shows the peak concurrent instances, or the peak rate of the resource since the statistics were last cleared, either using the clear resource usage command or because the device rebooted. • all—(Default) Shows all statistics. The count_threshold sets the number above which resources are shown. The default is 1. If the usage of the resource is below the number you set, then the resource is not shown. If you specify all for the counter name, then the count_threshold applies to the current usage. Note To show all resources, set the count_threshold to 0. The following is sample output from the show resource usage context command, which shows the resource usage for the admin context: hostname# show resource usage context admin Resource Current Peak Limit Denied Context Telnet 1 1 5 0 admin Conns 44 55 N/A 0 admin Hosts 45 56 N/A 0 admin The following is sample output from the show resource usage summary command, which shows the resource usage for all contexts and all resources. This sample shows the limits for 6 contexts. hostname# show resource usage summary Resource Current Peak Limit Denied Context Syslogs [rate] 1743 2132 N/A 0 Summary Conns 584 763 280000(S) 0 Summary 6-20 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 6 Adding and Managing Security Contexts Managing Security Contexts Xlates 8526 8966 N/A 0 Summary Hosts 254 254 N/A 0 Summary Conns [rate] 270 535 N/A 1704 Summary Inspects [rate] 270 535 N/A 0 Summary S = System: Combined context limits exceed the system limit; the system limit is shown. The following is sample output from the show resource usage summary command, which shows the limits for 25 contexts. Because the context limit for Telnet and SSH connections is 5 per context, then the combined limit is 125. The system limit is only 100, so the system limit is shown. hostname# show resource usage summary Resource Current Peak Limit Denied Context Telnet 1 1 100[S] 0 Summary SSH 2 2 100[S] 0 Summary Conns 56 90 N/A 0 Summary Hosts 89 102 N/A 0 Summary S = System: Combined context limits exceed the system limit; the system limit is shown.

The Denied statistics indicate how many times the resource was denied due to the system limit, if available. hostname# show resource usage system counter all 0 Resource Current Peak Limit Denied Context Telnet 0 0 100 0 System SSH 0 0 100 0 System ASDM 0 0 32 0 System Syslogs [rate] 1 18 N/A 0 System Conns 0 1 280000 0 System Xlates 0 0 N/A 0 System Hosts 0 2 N/A 0 System Conns [rate] 1 1 N/A 0 System Inspects [rate] 0 0 N/A 0 System Monitoring SYN Attacks in Contexts The security appliance prevents SYN attacks using TCP Intercept. TCP Intercept uses the SYN cookies algorithm to prevent TCP SYN-flooding attacks. A SYN-flooding attack consists of a series of SYN packets usually originating from spoofed IP addresses. The constant flood of SYN packets keeps the server SYN queue full, which prevents it from servicing connection requests. When the embryonic connection threshold of a connection is crossed, the security appliance acts as a proxy for the server and generates a SYN-ACK response to the client SYN request. When the security appliance receives an ACK back from the client, it can then authenticate the client and allow the connection to the server. You can monitor the rate of attacks for individual contexts using the show perfmon command; you can monitor the amount of resources being used by TCP intercept for individual contexts using the show resource usage detail command; you can monitor the resources being used by TCP intercept for the entire system using the show resource usage summary detail command. The following is sample output from the show perfmon command that shows the rate of TCP intercepts for a context called admin. hostname/admin# show perfmon Context:admin PERFMON STATS: Current Average Xlates 0/s 0/s 6-21 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 6 Adding and Managing Security Contexts Managing Security Contexts Connections 0/s 0/s TCP Conns 0/s 0/s UDP Conns 0/s 0/s URL Access 0/s 0/s URL Server Req 0/s 0/s WebSns Req 0/s 0/s TCP Fixup 0/s 0/s HTTP Fixup 0/s 0/s FTP Fixup 0/s 0/s AAA Authen 0/s 0/s AAA Author 0/s 0/s AAA Account 0/s 0/s TCP Intercept 322779/s 322779/s The following is sample output from the show resource usage detail command that shows the amount of resources being used by TCP Intercept for individual contexts.

For single context mode, the procedures in this chapter continue the interface configuration started in Chapter 5, “Configuring Ethernet Settings and Subinterfaces.” For multiple context mode, the procedures in Chapter 5, “Configuring Ethernet Settings and Subinterfaces,” are performed in the system execution space, while the procedures in this chapter are performed within each security context. Note To configure interfaces for the ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance, see Chapter 4, “Configuring Switch Ports and VLAN Interfaces for the Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance.” This chapter includes the following sections: • Security Level Overview, page 7-1 • Configuring the Interface, page 7-2 • Allowing Communication Between Interfaces on the Same Security Level, page 7-6 Security Level Overview Each interface must have a security level from 0 (lowest) to 100 (highest). For example, you should assign your most secure network, such as the inside host network, to level 100. While the outside network connected to the Internet can be level 0. Other networks, such as DMZs can be in between. You can assign interfaces to the same security level. See the “Allowing Communication Between Interfaces on the Same Security Level” section on page 7-6 for more information. The level controls the following behavior: • Network access—By default, there is an implicit permit from a higher security interface to a lower security interface (outbound). Hosts on the higher security interface can access any host on a lower security interface. You can limit access by applying an access list to the interface. If you enable communication for same security interfaces (see the “Allowing Communication Between Interfaces on the Same Security Level” section on page 7-6), there is an implicit permit for interfaces to access other interfaces on the same security level or lower. • Inspection engines—Some application inspection engines are dependent on the security level. For same security interfaces, inspection engines apply to traffic in either direction. – NetBIOS inspection engine—Applied only for outbound connections. 7-2 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 7 Configuring Interface Parameters Configuring the Interface – SQL*Net inspection engine—If a control connection for the SQL*Net (formerly OraServ) port exists between a pair of hosts, then only an inbound data connection is permitted through the security appliance. • Filtering—HTTP(S) and FTP filtering applies only for outbound connections (from a higher level to a lower level). For same security interfaces, you can filter traffic in either direction. • NAT control—When you enable NAT control, you must configure NAT for hosts on a higher security interface (inside) when they access hosts on a lower security interface (outside). Without NAT control, or for same security interfaces, you can choose to use NAT between any interface, or you can choose not to use NAT. Keep in mind that configuring NAT for an outside interface might require a special keyword. • established command—This command allows return connections from a lower security host to a higher security host if there is already an established connection from the higher level host to the lower level host. For same security interfaces, you can configure established commands for both directions. Configuring the Interface By default, all physical interfaces are shut down. You must enable the physical interface before any traffic can pass through an enabled subinterface. For multiple context mode, if you allocate a physical interface or subinterface to a context, the interfaces are enabled by default in the context. However, before traffic can pass through the context interface, you must also enable the interface in the system configuration. If you shut down an interface in the system execution space, then that interface is down in all contexts that share it. Before you can complete your configuration and allow traffic through the security appliance, you need to configure an interface name, and for routed mode, an IP address. You should also change the security level from the default, which is 0. If you name an interface “inside” and you do not set the security level explicitly, then the security appliance sets the security level to 100. Note If you are using failover, do not use this procedure to name interfaces that you are reserving for failover and Stateful Failover communications. See Chapter 14, “Configuring Failover.” to configure the failover and state links. For multiple context mode, follow these guidelines: • Configure the context interfaces from within each context. • You can only configure context interfaces that you already assigned to the context in the system configuration. • The system configuration only lets you configure Ethernet settings and VLANs. The exception is for failover interfaces; do not configure failover interfaces with this procedure. See the Failover chapter for more information. Note If you change the security level of an interface, and you do not want to wait for existing connections to time out before the new security information is used, you can clear the connections using the clear local-host command. 7-3 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 7 Configuring Interface Parameters Configuring the Interface To configure an interface or subinterface, perform the following steps: Step 1 To specify the interface you want to configure, enter the following command: hostname(config)# interface {physical_interface[.subinterface] | mapped_name} The physical_interface ID includes the type, slot, and port number as type[slot/]port. The physical interface types include the following: • ethernet • gigabitethernet For the PIX 500 series security appliance, enter the type followed by the port number, for example, ethernet0. For the ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance, enter the type followed by slot/port, for example, gigabitethernet0/1. Interfaces that are built into the chassis are assigned to slot 0, while interfaces on the 4GE SSM are assigned to slot 1. For the ASA 5550 adaptive security appliance, for maximum throughput, be sure to balance your traffic over the two interface slots; for example, assign the inside interface to slot 1 and the outside interface to slot 0. The ASA 5510 and higher adaptive security appliance also includes the following type: • management The management interface is a Fast Ethernet interface designed for management traffic only, and is specified as management0/0. You can, however, use it for through traffic if desired (see the management-only command). In transparent firewall mode, you can use the management interface in addition to the two interfaces allowed for through traffic. You can also add subinterfaces to the management interface to provide management in each security context for multiple context mode. Append the subinterface ID to the physical interface ID separated by a period (.). In multiple context mode, enter the mapped name if one was assigned using the allocate-interface command. For example, enter the following command: hostname(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1.1 Step 2 To name the interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# nameif name The name is a text string up to 48 characters, and is not case-sensitive. You can change the name by reentering this command with a new value. Do not enter the no form, because that command causes all commands that refer to that name to be deleted. Step 3 To set the security level, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# security-level number Where number is an integer between 0 (lowest) and 100 (highest). Step 4 (Optional) To set an interface to management-only mode, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# management-only The ASA 5510 and higher adaptive security appliance includes a dedicated management interface called Management 0/0, which is meant to support traffic to the security appliance. However, you can configure any interface to be a management-only interface using the management-only command. Also, for Management 0/0, you can disable management-only mode so the interface can pass through traffic just like any other interface. 7-4 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 7 Configuring Interface Parameters Configuring the Interface Note Transparent firewall mode allows only two interfaces to pass through traffic; however, on the The ASA 5510 and higher adaptive security appliance, you can use the Management 0/0 interface (either the physical interface or a subinterface) as a third interface for management traffic. The mode is not configurable in this case and must always be management-only. Step 5 To set the IP address, enter one of the following commands. In routed firewall mode, you set the IP address for all interfaces. In transparent firewall mode, you do not set the IP address for each interface, but rather for the whole security appliance or context. The exception is for the Management 0/0 management-only interface, which does not pass through traffic. To set the management IP address for transparent firewall mode, see the “Setting the Management IP Address for a Transparent Firewall” section on page 8-5. To set the IP address of the Management 0/0 interface or subinterface, use one of the following commands. To set an IPv6 address, see the “Configuring IPv6 on an Interface” section on page 12-3. For failover, you must set the IP address an standby address manually; DHCP and PPPoE are not supported. • To set the IP address manually, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# ip address ip_address [mask] [standby ip_address] The standby keyword and address is used for failover. See Chapter 14, “Configuring Failover,” for more information. • To obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# ip address dhcp [setroute] Reenter this command to reset the DHCP lease and request a new lease. If you do not enable the interface using the no shutdown command before you enter the ip address dhcp command, some DHCP requests might not be sent. • To obtain an IP address from a PPPoE server, see Chapter 35, “Configuring the PPPoE Client.” Step 6 (Optional) To assign a private MAC address to this interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# mac-address mac_address [standby mac_address] The mac_address is in H.H.H format, where H is a 16-bit hexadecimal digit. For example, the MAC address 00-0C-F1-42-4C-DE would be entered as 000C.F142.4CDE. By default, the physical interface uses the burned-in MAC address, and all subinterfaces of a physical interface use the same burned-in MAC address. For use with failover, set the standby MAC address. If the active unit fails over and the standby unit becomes active, the new active unit starts using the active MAC addresses to minimize network disruption, while the old active unit uses the standby address. In multiple context mode, if you share an interface between contexts, you can assign a unique MAC address to the interface in each context. This feature lets the security appliance easily classify packets into the appropriate context. Using a shared interface without unique MAC addresses is possible, but has some limitations. See the “How the Security Appliance Classifies Packets” section on page 3-3 for more information. You can assign each MAC address manually, or you can automatically generate MAC addresses for shared interfaces in contexts. See the “Automatically Assigning MAC Addresses to Context Interfaces” section on page 6-11 to automatically generate MAC addresses. If you automatically generate MAC addresses, you can use the mac-address command to override the generated address. 7-5 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 7 Configuring Interface Parameters Configuring the Interface For single context mode, or for interfaces that are not shared in multiple context mode, you might want to assign unique MAC addresses to subinterfaces. For example, your service provider might perform access control based on the MAC address. Step 7 To enable the interface, if it is not already enabled, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# no shutdown To disable the interface, enter the shutdown command. If you enter the shutdown command for a physical interface, you also shut down all subinterfaces. If you shut down an interface in the system execution space, then that interface is shut down in all contexts that share it, even though the context configurations show the interface as enabled. The following example configures parameters for the physical interface in single mode: hostname(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1 hostname(config-if)# speed 1000 hostname(config-if)# duplex full hostname(config-if)# nameif inside hostname(config-if)# security-level 100 hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 hostname(config-if)# no shutdown The following example configures parameters for a subinterface in single mode: hostname(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1.1 hostname(config-subif)# vlan 101 hostname(config-subif)# nameif dmz1 hostname(config-subif)# security-level 50 hostname(config-subif)# ip address 10.1.2.1 255.255.255.0 hostname(config-subif)# mac-address 000C.F142.4CDE standby 020C.F142.4CDE hostname(config-subif)# no shutdown The following example configures interface parameters in multiple context mode for the system configuration, and allocates the gigabitethernet 0/1.1 subinterface to contextA: hostname(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1 hostname(config-if)# speed 1000 hostname(config-if)# duplex full hostname(config-if)# no shutdown hostname(config-if)# interface gigabitethernet0/1.1 hostname(config-subif)# vlan 101 hostname(config-subif)# no shutdown hostname(config-subif)# context contextA hostname(config-ctx)# ... hostname(config-ctx)# allocate-interface gigabitethernet0/1.1 The following example configures parameters in multiple context mode for the context configuration: hostname/contextA(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1.1 hostname/contextA(config-if)# nameif inside hostname/contextA(config-if)# security-level 100 hostname/contextA(config-if)# ip address 10.1.2.1 255.255.255.0 hostname/contextA(config-if)# mac-address 030C.F142.4CDE standby 040C.F142.4CDE hostname/contextA(config-if)# no shutdown 7-6 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 7 Configuring Interface Parameters Allowing Communication Between Interfaces on the Same Security Level Allowing Communication Between Interfaces on the Same Security Level By default, interfaces on the same security level cannot communicate with each other. Allowing communication between same security interfaces provides the following benefits: • You can configure more than 101 communicating interfaces. If you use different levels for each interface and do not assign any interfaces to the same security level, you can configure only one interface per level (0 to 100). • You want traffic to flow freely between all same security interfaces without access lists. Note If you enable NAT control, you do not need to configure NAT between same security level interfaces. See the “NAT and Same Security Level Interfaces” section on page 17-13 for more information on NAT and same security level interfaces. If you enable same security interface communication, you can still configure interfaces at different security levels as usual. To enable interfaces on the same security level so that they can communicate with each other, enter the following command: hostname(config)# same-security-traffic permit inter-interface To disable this setting, use the no form of this command. CH A P T E R 8-1 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 8 Configuring Basic Settings This chapter describes how to configure basic settings on your security appliance that are typically required for a functioning configuration. This chapter includes the following sections: • Changing the Login Password, page 8-1 • Changing the Enable Password, page 8-1 • Setting the Hostname, page 8-2 • Setting the Domain Name, page 8-2 • Setting the Date and Time, page 8-2 • Setting the Management IP Address for a Transparent Firewall, page 8-5 Changing the Login Password The login password is used for Telnet and SSH connections. By default, the login password is “cisco.” To change the password, enter the following command: hostname(config)# {passwd | password} password You can enter passwd or password. The password is a case-sensitive password of up to 16 alphanumeric and special characters. You can use any character in the password except a question mark or a space. The password is saved in the configuration in encrypted form, so you cannot view the original password after you enter it. Use the no password command to restore the password to the default setting. Changing the Enable Password The enable password lets you enter privileged EXEC mode. By default, the enable password is blank. To change the enable password, enter the following command: hostname(config)# enable password password The password is a case-sensitive password of up to 16 alphanumeric and special characters. You can use any character in the password except a question mark or a space. This command changes the password for the highest privilege level. If you configure local command authorization, you can set enable passwords for each privilege level from 0 to 15. 8-2 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 8 Configuring Basic Settings Setting the Hostname The password is saved in the configuration in encrypted form, so you cannot view the original password after you enter it. Enter the enable password command without a password to set the password to the default, which is blank. Setting the Hostname When you set a hostname for the security appliance, that name appears in the command line prompt. If you establish sessions to multiple devices, the hostname helps you keep track of where you enter commands. The default hostname depends on your platform. For multiple context mode, the hostname that you set in the system execution space appears in the command line prompt for all contexts. The hostname that you optionally set within a context does not appear in the command line, but can be used by the banner command $(hostname) token. To specify the hostname for the security appliance or for a context, enter the following command: hostname(config)# hostname name This name can be up to 63 characters. A hostname must start and end with a letter or digit, and have as interior characters only letters, digits, or a hyphen. This name appears in the command line prompt. For example: hostname(config)# hostname farscape farscape(config)# Setting the Domain Name The security appliance appends the domain name as a suffix to unqualified names. For example, if you set the domain name to “example.com,” and specify a syslog server by the unqualified name of “jupiter,” then the security appliance qualifies the name to “jupiter.example.com.” The default domain name is default.domain.invalid. For multiple context mode, you can set the domain name for each context, as well as within the system execution space. To specify the domain name for the security appliance, enter the following command: hostname(config)# domain-name name For example, to set the domain as example.com, enter the following command: hostname(config)# domain-name example.com Setting the Date and Time This section describes how to set the date and time, either manually or dynamically using an NTP server. Time derived from an NTP server overrides any time set manually. This section also describes how to set the time zone and daylight saving time date range. Note In multiple context mode, set the time in the system configuration only. 8-3 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 8 Configuring Basic Settings Setting the Date and Time This section includes the following topics: • Setting the Time Zone and Daylight Saving Time Date Range, page 8-3 • Setting the Date and Time Using an NTP Server, page 8-4 • Setting the Date and Time Manually, page 8-5 Setting the Time Zone and Daylight Saving Time Date Range By default, the time zone is UTC and the daylight saving time date range is from 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday in April to 2:00 a.m. on the last Sunday in October. To change the time zone and daylight saving time date range, perform the following steps: Step 1 To set the time zone, enter the following command in global configuration mode: hostname(config)# clock timezone zone [-]hours [minutes] Where zone specifies the time zone as a string, for example, PST for Pacific Standard Time. The [-]hours value sets the number of hours of offset from UTC. For example, PST is -8 hours. The minutes value sets the number of minutes of offset from UTC. Step 2 To change the date range for daylight saving time from the default, enter one of the following commands. The default recurring date range is from 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday in April to 2:00 a.m. on the last Sunday in October. • To set the start and end dates for daylight saving time as a specific date in a specific year, enter the following command: hostname(config)# clock summer-time zone date {day month | month day} year hh:mm {day month | month day} year hh:mm [offset] If you use this command, you need to reset the dates every year. The zone value specifies the time zone as a string, for example, PDT for Pacific Daylight Time. The day value sets the day of the month, from 1 to 31. You can enter the day and month as April 1 or as 1 April, for example, depending on your standard date format. The month value sets the month as a string. You can enter the day and month as April 1 or as 1 April, for example, depending on your standard date format. The year value sets the year using four digits, for example, 2004. The year range is 1993 to 2035. The hh:mm value sets the hour and minutes in 24-hour time. The offset value sets the number of minutes to change the time for daylight saving time. By default, the value is 60 minutes. • To specify the start and end dates for daylight saving time, in the form of a day and time of the month, and not a specific date in a year, enter the following command. hostname(config)# clock summer-time zone recurring [week weekday month hh:mm week weekday month hh:mm] [offset] This command lets you set a recurring date range that you do not need to alter yearly. The zone value specifies the time zone as a string, for example, PDT for Pacific Daylight Time. The week value specifies the week of the month as an integer between 1 and 4 or as the words first or last. For example, if the day might fall in the partial fifth week, then specify last. 8-4 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 8 Configuring Basic Settings Setting the Date and Time The weekday value specifies the day of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and so on. The month value sets the month as a string. The hh:mm value sets the hour and minutes in 24-hour time. The offset value sets the number of minutes to change the time for daylight saving time. By default, the value is 60 minutes. Setting the Date and Time Using an NTP Server To obtain the date and time from an NTP server, perform the following steps: Step 1 To configure authentication with an NTP server, perform the following steps: a. To enable authentication, enter the following command: hostname(config)# ntp authenticate b. To specify an authentication key ID to be a trusted key, which is required for authentication with an NTP server, enter the following command: hostname(config)# ntp trusted-key key_id Where the key_id is between 1 and 4294967295. You can enter multiple trusted keys for use with multiple servers. c. To set a key to authenticate with an NTP server, enter the following command: hostname(config)# ntp authentication-key key_id md5 key Where key_id is the ID you set in Step 1b using the ntp trusted-key command, and key is a string up to 32 characters in length. Step 2 To identify an NTP server, enter the following command: hostname(config)# ntp server ip_address [key key_id] [source interface_name] [prefer] Where the key_id is the ID you set in Step 1b using the ntp trusted-key command. The source interface_name identifies the outgoing interface for NTP packets if you do not want to use the default interface in the routing table. Because the system does not include any interfaces in multiple context mode, specify an interface name defined in the admin context. The prefer keyword sets this NTP server as the preferred server if multiple servers have similar accuracy. NTP uses an algorithm to determine which server is the most accurate and synchronizes to that one. If servers are of similar accuracy, then the prefer keyword specifies which of those servers to use. However, if a server is significantly more accurate than the preferred one, the security appliance uses the more accurate one. For example, the security appliance uses a server of stratum 2 over a server of stratum 3 that is preferred. You can identify multiple servers; the security appliance uses the most accurate server. Note SNTP is not supported; only NTP is supported. 8-5 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 8 Configuring Basic Settings Setting the Management IP Address for a Transparent Firewall Setting the Date and Time Manually To set the date time manually, enter the following command: hostname# clock set hh:mm:ss {month day | day month} year Where hh:mm:ss sets the hour, minutes, and seconds in 24-hour time. For example, set 20:54:00 for 8:54 pm. The day value sets the day of the month, from 1 to 31. You can enter the day and month as april 1 or as 1 april, for example, depending on your standard date format. The month value sets the month. Depending on your standard date format, you can enter the day and month as april 1 or as 1 april. The year value sets the year using four digits, for example, 2004. The year range is 1993 to 2035. The default time zone is UTC. If you change the time zone after you enter the clock set command using the clock timezone command, the time automatically adjusts to the new time zone. This command sets the time in the hardware chip, and does not save the time in the configuration file. This time endures reboots. Unlike the other clock commands, this command is a privileged EXEC command. To reset the clock, you need to set a new time for the clock set command. Setting the Management IP Address for a Transparent Firewall Transparent firewall mode only A transparent firewall does not participate in IP routing. The only IP configuration required for the security appliance is to set the management IP address. This address is required because the security appliance uses this address as the source address for traffic originating on the security appliance, such as system messages or communications with AAA servers. You can also use this address for remote management access. For multiple context mode, set the management IP address within each context. To set the management IP address, enter the following command: hostname(config)# ip address ip_address [mask] [standby ip_address] This address must be on the same subnet as the upstream and downstream routers. You cannot set the subnet to a host subnet (255.255.255.255). This address must be IPv4; the transparent firewall does not support IPv6. The standby keyword and address is used for failover. See Chapter 14, “Configuring Failover,” for more information. 8-6 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 8 Configuring Basic Settings Setting the Management IP Address for a Transparent Firewall CH A P T E R 9-1 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 9 Configuring IP Routing This chapter describes how to configure IP routing on the security appliance. This chapter includes the following sections: • How Routing Behaves Within the ASA Security Appliance, page 9-1 • Configuring Static and Default Routes, page 9-2 • Defining Route Maps, page 9-7 • Configuring OSPF, page 9-8 • Configuring RIP, page 9-20 • The Routing Table, page 9-24 • Dynamic Routing and Failover, page 9-26 How Routing Behaves Within the ASA Security Appliance The ASA security appliance uses both routing table and XLATE tables for routing decisions. To handle destination IP translated traffic, that is, untranslated traffic, ASA searches for existing XLATE, or static translation to select the egress interface. The selection process is as follows: Egress Interface Selection Process 1. If destination IP translating XLATE already exists, the egress interface for the packet is determined from the XLATE table, but not from the routing table. 2. If destination IP translating XLATE does not exist, but a matching static translation exists, then the egress interface is determined from the static route and an XLATE is created, and the routing table is not used. 3. If destination IP translating XLATE does not exist and no matching static translation exists, the packet is not destination IP translated. The security appliance processes this packet by looking up the route to select egress interface, then source IP translation is performed (if necessary). For regular dynamic outbound NAT, initial outgoing packets are routed using the route table and then creating the XLATE. Incoming return packets are forwarded using existing XLATE only. For static NAT, destination translated incoming packets are always forwarded using existing XLATE or static translation rules. 9-2 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing Configuring Static and Default Routes Next Hop Selection Process After selecting egress interface using any method described above, an additional route lookup is performed to find out suitable next hop(s) that belong to previously selected egress interface. If there are no routes in routing table that explicitly belong to selected interface, the packet is dropped with level 6 error message 110001 "no route to host", even if there is another route for a given destination network that belongs to different egress interface. If the route that belongs to selected egress interface is found, the packet is forwarded to corresponding next hop. Load sharing on the security appliance is possible only for multiple next-hops available using single egress interface. Load sharing cannot share multiple egress interfaces. If dynamic routing is in use on security appliance and route table changes after XLATE creation, for example route flap, then destination translated traffic is still forwarded using old XLATE, not via route table, until XLATE times out. It may be either forwarded to wrong interface or dropped with message 110001 "no route to host" if old route was removed from the old interface and attached to another one by routing process. The same problem may happen when there is no route flaps on the security appliance itself, but some routing process is flapping around it, sending source translated packets that belong to the same flow through the security appliance using different interfaces. Destination translated return packets may be forwarded back using the wrong egress interface. This issue has a high probability in same security traffic configuration, where virtually any traffic may be either source-translated or destination-translated, depending on direction of initial packet in the flow. When this issue occurs after a route flap, it can be resolved manually by using the clear xlate command, or automatically resolved by an XLATE timeout. XLATE timeout may be decreased if necessary. To ensure that this rarely happens, make sure that there is no route flaps on security appliance and around it. That is, ensure that destination translated packets that belong to the same flow are always forwarded the same way through the security appliance. Configuring Static and Default Routes This section describes how to configure static and default routes on the security appliance. Multiple context mode does not support dynamic routing, so you must use static routes for any networks to which the security appliance is not directly connected; for example, when there is a router between a network and the security appliance. You might want to use static routes in single context mode in the following cases: • Your networks use a different router discovery protocol from RIP or OSPF. • Your network is small and you can easily manage static routes. • You do not want the traffic or CPU overhead associated with routing protocols. The simplest option is to configure a default route to send all traffic to an upstream router, relying on the router to route the traffic for you. However, in some cases the default gateway might not be able to reach the destination network, so you must also configure more specific static routes. For example, if the default gateway is outside, then the default route cannot direct traffic to any inside networks that are not directly connected to the security appliance. In transparent firewall mode, for traffic that originates on the security appliance and is destined for a non-directly connected network, you need to configure either a default route or static routes so the security appliance knows out of which interface to send traffic. Traffic that originates on the security 9-3 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing Configuring Static and Default Routes appliance might include communications to a syslog server, Websense or N2H2 server, or AAA server. If you have servers that cannot all be reached through a single default route, then you must configure static routes. The security appliance supports up to three equal cost routes on the same interface for load balancing. This section includes the following topics: • Configuring a Static Route, page 9-3 • Configuring a Default Route, page 9-4 • Configuring Static Route Tracking, page 9-5 For information about configuring IPv6 static and default routes, see the “Configuring IPv6 Default and Static Routes” section on page 12-5. Configuring a Static Route To add a static route, enter the following command: hostname(config)# route if_name dest_ip mask gateway_ip [distance] The dest_ip and mask is the IP address for the destination network and the gateway_ip is the address of the next-hop router.The addresses you specify for the static route are the addresses that are in the packet before entering the security appliance and performing NAT. The distance is the administrative distance for the route. The default is 1 if you do not specify a value. Administrative distance is a parameter used to compare routes among different routing protocols. The default administrative distance for static routes is 1, giving it precedence over routes discovered by dynamic routing protocols but not directly connect routes. The default administrative distance for routes discovered by OSPF is 110. If a static route has the same administrative distance as a dynamic route, the static routes take precedence. Connected routes always take precedence over static or dynamically discovered routes. Static routes remain in the routing table even if the specified gateway becomes unavailable. If the specified gateway becomes unavailable, you need to remove the static route from the routing table manually. However, static routes are removed from the routing table if the specified interface goes down. They are reinstated when the interface comes back up. Note If you create a static route with an administrative distance greater than the administrative distance of the routing protocol running on the security appliance, then a route to the specified destination discovered by the routing protocol takes precedence over the static route. The static route is used only if the dynamically discovered route is removed from the routing table. The following example creates a static route that sends all traffic destined for 10.1.1.0/24 to the router (10.1.2.45) connected to the inside interface: hostname(config)# route inside 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.2.45 1 You can define up to three equal cost routes to the same destination per interface. ECMP is not supported across multiple interfaces. With ECMP, the traffic is not necessarily divided evenly between the routes; traffic is distributed among the specified gateways based on an algorithm that hashes the source and destination IP addresses. The following example shows static routes that are equal cost routes that direct traffic to three different gateways on the outside interface. The security appliance distributes the traffic among the specified gateways. 9-4 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing Configuring Static and Default Routes hostname(config)# route outside 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 hostname(config)# route outside 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.2 hostname(config)# route outside 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.3 Configuring a Default Route A default route identifies the gateway IP address to which the security appliance sends all IP packets for which it does not have a learned or static route. A default route is simply a static route with 0.0.0.0/0 as the destination IP address. Routes that identify a specific destination take precedence over the default route. Note In ASA software Versions 7.0 and later, if you have two default routes configured on different interfaces that have different metrics, the connection to the ASA firewall that is made from the higher metric interface fails, but connections to the ASA firewall from the lower metric interface succeed as expected. PIX software Version 6.3 supports connections from both the the higher and the lower metric interfaces. You can define up to three equal cost default route entries per device. Defining more than one equal cost default route entry causes the traffic sent to the default route to be distributed among the specified gateways. When defining more than one default route, you must specify the same interface for each entry. If you attempt to define more than three equal cost default routes, or if you attempt to define a default route with a different interface than a previously defined default route, you receive the message “ERROR: Cannot add route entry, possible conflict with existing routes.” You can define a separate default route for tunneled traffic along with the standard default route. When you create a default route with the tunneled option, all traffic from a tunnel terminating on the security appliance that cannot be routed using learned or static routes, is sent to this route. For traffic emerging from a tunnel, this route overrides over any other configured or learned default routes. The following restrictions apply to default routes with the tunneled option: • Do not enable unicast RPF (ip verify reverse-path) on the egress interface of tunneled route. Enabling uRPF on the egress interface of a tunneled route causes the session to fail. • Do not enable TCP intercept on the egress interface of the tunneled route. Doing so causes the session to fail. • Do not use the VoIP inspection engines (CTIQBE, H.323, GTP, MGCP, RTSP, SIP, SKINNY), the DNS inspect engine, or the DCE RPC inspection engine with tunneled routes. These inspection engines ignore the tunneled route. You cannot define more than one default route with the tunneled option; ECMP for tunneled traffic is not supported. To define the default route, enter the following command: hostname(config)# route if_name 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 gateway_ip [distance | tunneled] Tip You can enter 0 0 instead of 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 for the destination network address and mask, for example: hostname(config)# route outside 0 0 192.168.1 1 9-5 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing Configuring Static and Default Routes The following example shows a security appliance configured with three equal cost default routes and a default route for tunneled traffic. Unencrypted traffic received by the security appliance for which there is no static or learned route is distributed among the gateways with the IP addresses 192.168.2.1, 192.168.2.2, 192.168.2.3. Encrypted traffic receive by the security appliance for which there is no static or learned route is passed to the gateway with the IP address 192.168.2.4. hostname(config)# route outside 0 0 192.168.2.1 hostname(config)# route outside 0 0 192.168.2.2 hostname(config)# route outside 0 0 192.168.2.3 hostname(config)# route outside 0 0 192.168.2.4 tunneled Configuring Static Route Tracking One of the problems with static routes is that there is no inherent mechanism for determining if the route is up or down. They remain in the routing table even if the next hop gateway becomes unavailable. Static routes are only removed from the routing table if the associated interface on the security appliance goes down. The static route tracking feature provides a method for tracking the availability of a static route and installing a backup route if the primary route should fail. This allows you to, for example, define a default route to an ISP gateway and a backup default route to a secondary ISP in case the primary ISP becomes unavailable. The security appliance does this by associating a static route with a monitoring target that you define. It monitors the target using ICMP echo requests. If an echo reply is not received within a specified time period, the object is considered down and the associated route is removed from the routing table. A previously configured backup route is used in place of the removed route. When selecting a monitoring target, you need to make sure it can respond to ICMP echo requests. The target can be any network object that you choose, but you should consider using: • the ISP gateway (for dual ISP support) address • the next hop gateway address (if you are concerned about the availability of the gateway) • a server on the target network, such as a AAA server, that the security appliance needs to communicate with • a persistent network object on the destination network (a desktop or notebook computer that may be shut down at night is not a good choice) You can configure static route tracking for statically defined routes or default routes obtained through DHCP or PPPoE. You can only enable PPPoE clients on multiple interface with route tracking. To configure static route tracking, perform the following steps: Step 1 Configure the tracked object monitoring parameters: a. Define the monitoring process: hostname(config)# sla monitor sla_id If you are configuring a new monitoring process, you are taken to SLA monitor configuration mode. If you are changing the monitoring parameters for an unscheduled monitoring process that already has a type defined, you are taken directly to the SLA protocol configuration mode. b. Specify the monitoring protocol. If you are changing the monitoring parameters for an unscheduled monitoring process that already has a type defined, you are taken directly to SLA protocol configuration mode and cannot change this setting. 9-6 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing Configuring Static and Default Routes hostname(config-sla-monitor)# type echo protocol ipIcmpEcho target_ip interface if_name The target_ip is the IP address of the network object whose availability the tracking process monitors. While this object is available, the tracking process route is installed in the routing table. When this object becomes unavailable, the tracking process removed the route and the backup route is used in its place. c. Schedule the monitoring process: hostname(config)# sla monitor schedule sla_id [life {forever | seconds}] [start-time {hh:mm[:ss] [month day | day month] | pending | now | after hh:mm:ss}] [ageout seconds] [recurring] Typically, you will use sla monitor schedule sla_id life forever start-time now for the monitoring schedule, and allow the monitoring configuration determine how often the testing occurs. However, you can schedule this monitoring process to begin in the future and to only occur at specified times. Step 2 Associate a tracked static route with the SLA monitoring process by entering the following command: hostname(config)# track track_id rtr sla_id reachability The track_id is a tracking number you assign with this command. The sla_id is the ID number of the SLA process you defined in Step 1. Step 3 Define the static route to be installed in the routing table while the tracked object is reachable using one of the following options: • To track a static route, enter the following command: hostname(config)# route if_name dest_ip mask gateway_ip [admin_distance] track track_id You cannot use the tunneled option with the route command with static route tracking. • To track a default route obtained through DHCP, enter the following commands: hostname(config)# interface phy_if hostname(config-if)# dhcp client route track track_id hostname(config-if)# ip addresss dhcp setroute hostname(config-if)# exit Note You must use the setroute argument with the ip address dhcp command to obtain the default route using DHCP. • To track a default route obtained through PPPoE, enter the following commands: hostname(config)# interface phy_if hostname(config-if)# pppoe client route track track_id hostname(config-if)# ip addresss pppoe setroute hostname(config-if)# exit Note You must use the setroute argument with the ip address pppoe command to obtain the default route using PPPoE. Step 4 Define the backup route to use when the tracked object is unavailable using one of the following options. The administrative distance of the backup route must be greater than the administrative distance of the tracked route. If it is not, the backup route will be installed in the routing table instead of the tracked route. 9-7 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing Defining Route Maps • To use a static route, enter the following command: hostname(config)# route if_name dest_ip mask gateway_ip [admin_distance] The static route must have the same destination and mask as the tracked route. If you are tracking a default route obtained through DHCP or PPPoE, then the address and mask would be 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0. • To use a default route obtained through DHCP, enter the following commands: hostname(config)# interface phy_if hostname(config-if)# dhcp client route track track_id hostname(config-if)# dhcp client route distance admin_distance hostname(config-if)# ip addresss dhcp setroute hostname(config-if)# exit You must use the setroute argument with the ip address dhcp command to obtain the default route using DHCP. Make sure the administrative distance is greater than the administrative distance of the tracked route. • To use a default route obtained through PPPoE, enter the following commands: hostname(config)# interface phy_if hostname(config-if)# pppoe client route track track_id hostname(config-if)# pppoe client route distance admin_distance hostname(config-if)# ip addresss pppoe setroute hostname(config-if)# exit You must use the setroute argument with the ip address pppoe command to obtain the default route using PPPoE. Make sure the administrative distance is greater than the administrative distance of the tracked route. Defining Route Maps Route maps are used when redistributing routes into an OSPF or RIP routing process. They are also used when generating a default route into an OSPF routing process. A route map defines which of the routes from the specified routing protocol are allowed to be redistributed into the target routing process. To define a route map, perform the following steps: Step 1 To create a route map entry, enter the following command: hostname(config)# route-map name {permit | deny} [sequence_number] Route map entries are read in order. You can identify the order using the sequence_number option, or the security appliance uses the order in which you add the entries. Step 2 Enter one or more match commands: • To match any routes that have a destination network that matches a standard ACL, enter the following command: hostname(config-route-map)# match ip address acl_id [acl_id] [...] If you specify more than one ACL, then the route can match any of the ACLs. • To match any routes that have a specified metric, enter the following command: hostname(config-route-map)# match metric metric_value 9-8 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing Configuring OSPF The metric_value can be from 0 to 4294967295. • To match any routes that have a next hop router address that matches a standard ACL, enter the following command: hostname(config-route-map)# match ip next-hop acl_id [acl_id] [...] If you specify more than one ACL, then the route can match any of the ACLs. • To match any routes with the specified next hop interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-route-map)# match interface if_name If you specify more than one interface, then the route can match either interface. • To match any routes that have been advertised by routers that match a standard ACL, enter the following command: hostname(config-route-map)# match ip route-source acl_id [acl_id] [...] If you specify more than one ACL, then the route can match any of the ACLs. • To match the route type, enter the following command: hostname(config-route-map)# match route-type {internal | external [type-1 | type-2]} Step 3 Enter one or more set commands. If a route matches the match commands, then the following set commands determine the action to perform on the route before redistributing it. • To set the metric, enter the following command: hostname(config-route-map)# set metric metric_value The metric_value can be a value between 0 and 294967295 • To set the metric type, enter the following command: hostname(config-route-map)# set metric-type {type-1 | type-2} The following example shows how to redistribute routes with a hop count equal to 1 into OSPF. The security appliance redistributes these routes as external LSAs with a metric of 5, metric type of Type 1. hostname(config)# route-map 1-to-2 permit hostname(config-route-map)# match metric 1 hostname(config-route-map)# set metric 5 hostname(config-route-map)# set metric-type type-1 Configuring OSPF This section describes how to configure OSPF.

Each router in an OSPF area contains an identical link-state database, which is a list of each of the router usable interfaces and reachable neighbors. The advantages of OSPF over RIP include the following: • OSPF link-state database updates are sent less frequently than RIP updates, and the link-state database is updated instantly rather than gradually as stale information is timed out. • Routing decisions are based on cost, which is an indication of the overhead required to send packets across a certain interface. The security appliance calculates the cost of an interface based on link bandwidth rather than the number of hops to the destination. The cost can be configured to specify preferred paths. The disadvantage of shortest path first algorithms is that they require a lot of CPU cycles and memory. The security appliance can run two processes of OSPF protocol simultaneously, on different sets of interfaces. You might want to run two processes if you have interfaces that use the same IP addresses (NAT allows these interfaces to coexist, but OSPF does not allow overlapping addresses). Or you might want to run one process on the inside, and another on the outside, and redistribute a subset of routes between the two processes. Similarly, you might need to segregate private addresses from public addresses. You can redistribute routes into an OSPF routing process from another OSPF routing process, a RIP routing process, or from static and connected routes configured on OSPF-enabled interfaces. The security appliance supports the following OSPF features: • Support of intra-area, interarea, and external (Type I and Type II) routes. • Support of a virtual link. • OSPF LSA flooding. • Authentication to OSPF packets (both password and MD5 authentication). • Support for configuring the security appliance as a designated router or a designated backup router. The security appliance also can be set up as an ABR; however, the ability to configure the security appliance as an ASBR is limited to default information only (for example, injecting a default route). • Support for stub areas and not-so-stubby-areas. 9-10 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing Configuring OSPF • Area boundary router type-3 LSA filtering. • Advertisement of static and global address translations. Enabling OSPF To enable OSPF, you need to create an OSPF routing process, specify the range of IP addresses associated with the routing process, then assign area IDs associated with that range of IP addresses. To enable OSPF, perform the following steps: Step 1 To create an OSPF routing process, enter the following command: hostname(config)# router ospf process_id This command enters the router configuration mode for this OSPF process. The process_id is an internally used identifier for this routing process. It can be any positive integer. This ID does not have to match the ID on any other device; it is for internal use only. You can use a maximum of two processes. Step 2 To define the IP addresses on which OSPF runs and to define the area ID for that interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-router)# network ip_address mask area area_id The following example shows how to enable OSPF: hostname(config)# router ospf 2 hostname(config-router)# network 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 area 0 Redistributing Routes Into OSPF The security appliance can control the redistribution of routes between OSPF routing processes. The security appliance matches and changes routes according to settings in the redistribute command or by using a route map. See also the “Generating a Default Route” section on page 9-17 for another use for route maps. To redistribute static, connected, RIP, or OSPF routes into an OSPF process, perform the following steps: Step 1 (Optional) Create a route-map to further define which routes from the specified routing protocol are redistributed in to the OSPF routing process. See the “Defining Route Maps” section on page 9-7. Step 2 If you have not already done so, enter the router configuration mode for the OSPF process you want to redistribute into by entering the following command: hostname(config)# router ospf process_id Step 3 To specify the routes you want to redistribute, enter the following command: hostname(config-router)# redistribute {ospf process_id [match {internal | external 1 | external 2}] | static | connected | rip} [metric metric-value] [metric-type {type-1 | type-2}] [tag tag_value] [subnets] [route-map map_name] 9-11 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing Configuring OSPF The ospf process_id, static, connected, and rip keywords specify from where you want to redistribute routes. You can either use the options in this command to match and set route properties, or you can use a route map. The tag and subnets options do not have equivalents in the route-map command. If you use both a route map and options in the redistribute command, then they must match. The following example shows route redistribution from OSPF process 1 into OSPF process 2 by matching routes with a metric equal to 1. The security appliance redistributes these routes as external LSAs with a metric of 5, metric type of Type 1, and a tag equal to 1. hostname(config)# route-map 1-to-2 permit hostname(config-route-map)# match metric 1 hostname(config-route-map)# set metric 5 hostname(config-route-map)# set metric-type type-1 hostname(config-route-map)# set tag 1 hostname(config-route-map)# router ospf 2 hostname(config-router)# redistribute ospf 1 route-map 1-to-2 The following example shows the specified OSPF process routes being redistributed into OSPF process 109. The OSPF metric is remapped to 100. hostname(config)# router ospf 109 hostname(config-router)# redistribute ospf 108 metric 100 subnets The following example shows route redistribution where the link-state cost is specified as 5 and the metric type is set to external, indicating that it has lower priority than internal metrics. hostname(config)# router ospf 1 hostname(config-router)# redistribute ospf 2 metric 5 metric-type external Configuring OSPF Interface Parameters You can alter some interface-specific OSPF parameters as necessary. You are not required to alter any of these parameters, but the following interface parameters must be consistent across all routers in an attached network: ospf hello-interval, ospf dead-interval, and ospf authentication-key. Be sure that if you configure any of these parameters, the configurations for all routers on your network have compatible values. To configure OSPF interface parameters, perform the following steps: Step 1 To enter the interface configuration mode, enter the following command: hostname(config)# interface interface_name Step 2 Enter any of the following commands: • To specify the authentication type for an interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-interface)# ospf authentication [message-digest | null] • To assign a password to be used by neighboring OSPF routers on a network segment that is using the OSPF simple password authentication, enter the following command: hostname(config-interface)# ospf authentication-key key The key can be any continuous string of characters up to 8 bytes in length. 9-12 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing Configuring OSPF The password created by this command is used as a key that is inserted directly into the OSPF header when the security appliance software 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. • To explicitly specify the cost of sending a packet on an OSPF interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-interface)# ospf cost cost The cost is an integer from 1 to 65535. • To set the number of seconds that a device must wait before it declares a neighbor OSPF router down because it has not received a hello packet, enter the following command: hostname(config-interface)# ospf dead-interval seconds The value must be the same for all nodes on the network. • To specify the length of time between the hello packets that the security appliance sends on an OSPF interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-interface)# ospf hello-interval seconds The value must be the same for all nodes on the network. • To enable OSPF MD5 authentication, enter the following command: hostname(config-interface)# ospf message-digest-key key_id md5 key Set the following values: – key_id—An identifier in the range from 1 to 255. – key—Alphanumeric password of up to 16 bytes. Usually, one key per interface 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. 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. • To set the priority to help determine the OSPF designated router for a network, enter the following command: hostname(config-interface)# ospf priority number_value The number_value is between 0 to 255. • To specify the number of seconds between LSA retransmissions for adjacencies belonging to an OSPF interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-interface)# ospf retransmit-interval seconds The seconds must be greater than the expected round-trip delay between any two routers on the attached network. The range is from 1 to 65535 seconds. The default is 5 seconds. • To set the estimated number of seconds required to send a link-state update packet on an OSPF interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-interface)# ospf transmit-delay seconds 9-13 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing Configuring OSPF The seconds is from 1 to 65535 seconds. The default is 1 second. The following example shows how to configure the OSPF interfaces: hostname(config)# router ospf 2 hostname(config-router)# network 2.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 area 0 hostname(config-router)# interface inside hostname(config-interface)# ospf cost 20 hostname(config-interface)# ospf retransmit-interval 15 hostname(config-interface)# ospf transmit-delay 10 hostname(config-interface)# ospf priority 20 hostname(config-interface)# ospf hello-interval 10 hostname(config-interface)# ospf dead-interval 40 hostname(config-interface)# ospf authentication-key cisco hostname(config-interface)# ospf message-digest-key 1 md5 cisco hostname(config-interface)# ospf authentication message-digest The following is sample output from the show ospf command: hostname(config)# show ospf Routing Process "ospf 2" with ID 20.1.89.2 and Domain ID 0.0.0.2 Supports only single TOS(TOS0) routes Supports opaque LSA SPF schedule delay 5 secs, Hold time between two SPFs 10 secs Minimum LSA interval 5 secs.

Checksum Sum 0x 209a3 Number of opaque link LSA 0. Checksum Sum 0x 0 Number of DCbitless LSA 0 Number of indication LSA 0 Number of DoNotAge LSA 0 Flood list length 0 Configuring OSPF Area Parameters You can configure several area parameters. These area parameters (shown in the following task table) include setting authentication, defining stub areas, and assigning specific costs to the default summary route. Authentication provides password-based protection against unauthorized access to an area. Stub areas are areas into which information on external routes is not sent. Instead, there is a default external route generated by the ABR, into the stub area for destinations outside the autonomous system. To take advantage of the OSPF stub area support, default routing must be used in the stub area. To further reduce the number of LSAs sent into a stub area, you can configure the no-summary keyword of the area stub command on the ABR to prevent it from sending summary link advertisement (LSA type 3) into the stub area. To specify area parameters for your network, perform the following steps: 9-14 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing Configuring OSPF Step 1 If you have not already done so, enter the router configuration mode for the OSPF process you want to configure by entering the following command: hostname(config)# router ospf process_id Step 2 Enter any of the following commands: • To enable authentication for an OSPF area, enter the following command: hostname(config-router)# area area-id authentication • To enable MD5 authentication for an OSPF area, enter the following command: hostname(config-router)# area area-id authentication message-digest • To define an area to be a stub area, enter the following command: hostname(config-router)# area area-id stub [no-summary] • To assign a specific cost to the default summary route used for the stub area, enter the following command: hostname(config-router)# area area-id default-cost cost The cost is an integer from 1 to 65535. The default is 1. The following example shows how to configure the OSPF area parameters: hostname(config)# router ospf 2 hostname(config-router)# area 0 authentication hostname(config-router)# area 0 authentication message-digest hostname(config-router)# area 17 stub hostname(config-router)# area 17 default-cost 20 Configuring OSPF NSSA The OSPF implementation of an NSSA is similar to an OSPF stub area. NSSA does not flood type 5 external LSAs from the core into the area, but it can import autonomous system external routes in a limited way within the area. NSSA imports type 7 autonomous system external routes within an NSSA area by redistribution. These type 7 LSAs are translated into type 5 LSAs by NSSA ABRs, which are flooded throughout the whole routing domain. Summarization and filtering are supported during the translation. You can simplify administration if you are an ISP or a network administrator that must connect a central site using OSPF to a remote site that is using a different routing protocol using NSSA. Before the implementation of NSSA, the connection between the corporate site border router and the remote router could not be run as an OSPF stub area because routes for the remote site could not be redistributed into the stub area, and two routing protocols needed to be maintained. A simple protocol such as RIP was usually run and handled the redistribution. With NSSA, you can extend OSPF to cover the remote connection by defining the area between the corporate router and the remote router as an NSSA. 9-15 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing Configuring OSPF To specify area parameters for your network as needed to configure OSPF NSSA, perform the following steps: Step 1 If you have not already done so, enter the router configuration mode for the OSPF process you want to configure by entering the following command: hostname(config)# router ospf process_id Step 2 Enter any of the following commands: • To define an NSSA area, enter the following command: hostname(config-router)# area area-id nssa [no-redistribution] [default-information-originate] • To summarize groups of addresses, enter the following command: hostname(config-router)# summary address ip_address mask [not-advertise] [tag tag] This command helps reduce the size of the routing table. Using this command for OSPF causes an OSPF ASBR to advertise one external route as an aggregate for all redistributed routes that are covered by the address. OSPF does not support summary-address 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0. In the following example, the summary address 10.1.0.0 includes address 10.1.1.0, 10.1.2.0, 10.1.3.0, and so on. Only the address 10.1.0.0 is advertised in an external link-state advertisement: hostname(config-router)# summary-address 10.1.1.0 255.255.0.0 Before you use this feature, consider these guidelines: – You can set a type 7 default route that can be used to reach external destinations. When configured, the router generates a type 7 default into the NSSA or the NSSA area boundary router. – Every router within the same area must agree that the area is NSSA; otherwise, the routers will not be able to communicate. Configuring Route Summarization Between OSPF Areas Route summarization is the consolidation of advertised addresses. This feature causes a single summary route to be advertised to other areas by an area boundary router. In OSPF, an area boundary router advertises networks in one area into another area. If the network numbers in an area are assigned in a way such that they are contiguous, you can configure the area boundary router to advertise a summary route that covers all the individual networks within the area that fall into the specified range. To define an address range for route summarization, perform the following steps: Step 1 If you have not already done so, enter the router configuration mode for the OSPF process you want to configure by entering the following command: hostname(config)# router ospf process_id 9-16 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing Configuring OSPF Step 2 To set the address range, enter the following command: hostname(config-router)# area area-id range ip-address mask [advertise | not-advertise] The following example shows how to configure route summarization between OSPF areas: hostname(config)# router ospf 1 hostname(config-router)# area 17 range 12.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 Configuring Route Summarization When Redistributing Routes into OSPF When routes from other protocols are redistributed into OSPF, each route is advertised individually in an external LSA. However, you can configure the security appliance to advertise a single route for all the redistributed routes that are covered by a specified network address and mask. This configuration decreases the size of the OSPF link-state database. To configure the software advertisement on one summary route for all redistributed routes covered by a network address and mask, perform the following steps: Step 1 If you have not already done so, enter the router configuration mode for the OSPF process you want to configure by entering the following command: hostname(config)# router ospf process_id Step 2 To set the summary address, enter the following command: hostname(config-router)# summary-address ip_address mask [not-advertise] [tag tag] Note OSPF does not support summary-address 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0. The following example shows how to configure route summarization. The summary address 10.1.0.0 includes address 10.1.1.0, 10.1.2.0, 10.1.3.0, and so on. Only the address 10.1.0.0 is advertised in an external link-state advertisement: hostname(config)# router ospf 1 hostname(config-router)# summary-address 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 Defining Static OSPF Neighbors You need to define static OSPF neighbors to advertise OSPF routes over a point-to-point, non-broadcast network. This lets you broadcast OSPF advertisements across an existing VPN connection without having to encapsulate the advertisements in a GRE tunnel. To define a static OSPF neighbor, perform the following tasks: Step 1 Create a static route to the OSPF neighbor. See the “Configuring Static and Default Routes” section on page 9-2 for more information about creating static routes. 9-17 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing Configuring OSPF Step 2 Define the OSPF neighbor by performing the following tasks: a. Enter router configuration mode for the OSPF process. Enter the following command: hostname(config)# router ospf pid b. Define the OSPF neighbor by entering the following command: hostname(config-router)# neighbor addr [interface if_name] The addr argument is the IP address of the OSPF neighbor. The if_name is the interface used to communicate with the neighbor. If the OSPF neighbor is not on the same network as any of the directly-connected interfaces, you must specify the interface. Generating a Default Route You can force an autonomous system boundary router to generate a default route into an OSPF routing domain. Whenever you specifically configure redistribution of 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. To generate a default route, perform the following steps: Step 1 If you have not already done so, enter the router configuration mode for the OSPF process you want to configure by entering the following command: hostname(config)# router ospf process_id Step 2 To force the autonomous system boundary router to generate a default route, enter the following command: hostname(config-router)# default-information originate [always] [metric metric-value] [metric-type {1 | 2}] [route-map map-name] The following example shows how to generate a default route: hostname(config)# router ospf 2 hostname(config-router)# default-information originate always Configuring Route Calculation Timers You can configure the delay time between when OSPF receives a topology change and when it starts an SPF calculation. You also can configure the hold time between two consecutive SPF calculations. To configure route calculation timers, perform the following steps: Step 1 If you have not already done so, enter the router configuration mode for the OSPF process you want to configure by entering the following command: hostname(config)# router ospf process_id 9-18 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing Configuring OSPF Step 2 To configure the route calculation time, enter the following command: hostname(config-router)# timers spf spf-delay spf-holdtime The spf-delay is the delay time (in seconds) between when OSPF receives a topology change and when it starts an SPF calculation. It can be an integer from 0 to 65535. The default time is 5 seconds. A value of 0 means that there is no delay; that is, the SPF calculation is started immediately. The spf-holdtime is the minimum time (in seconds) between two consecutive SPF calculations. It can be an integer from 0 to 65535. The default time is 10 seconds. A value of 0 means that there is no delay; that is, two SPF calculations can be done, one immediately after the other. The following example shows how to configure route calculation timers: hostname(config)# router ospf 1 hostname(config-router)# timers spf 10 120 Logging Neighbors Going Up or Down By default, the system sends a system message when an OSPF neighbor goes up or down. Configure this command if you want to know about OSPF neighbors going up or down without turning on the debug ospf adjacency command. The log-adj-changes router configuration command provides a higher level view of the peer relationship with less output. Configure log-adj-changes detail if you want to see messages for each state change. To log neighbors going up or down, perform the following steps: Step 1 If you have not already done so, enter the router configuration mode for the OSPF process you want to configure by entering the following command: hostname(config)# router ospf process_id Step 2 To configure logging for neighbors going up or down, enter the following command: hostname(config-router)# log-adj-changes [detail] Note Logging must be enabled for the the neighbor up/down messages to be sent. The following example shows how to log neighbors up/down messages: hostname(config)# router ospf 1 hostname(config-router)# log-adj-changes detail 9-19 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing Configuring OSPF Displaying OSPF Update Packet Pacing OSPF update packets are automatically paced so they are not sent less than 33 milliseconds apart. Without pacing, some update packets could get lost in situations where the link is slow, a neighbor could not receive the updates quickly enough, or the router could run out of buffer space. For example, without pacing packets might be dropped if either of the following topologies exist: • A fast router is connected to a slower router over a point-to-point link. • During flooding, several neighbors send updates to a single router at the same time. Pacing is also used between resends to increase efficiency and minimize lost retransmissions. You also can display the LSAs waiting to be sent out an interface. The benefit of the pacing is that OSPF update and retransmission packets are sent more efficiently. There are no configuration tasks for this feature; it occurs automatically. To observe OSPF packet pacing by displaying a list of LSAs waiting to be flooded over a specified interface, enter the following command: hostname# show ospf flood-list if_name Monitoring OSPF You can display specific statistics such as the contents of IP routing tables, caches, and databases. You can use the information provided to determine resource utilization and solve network problems. You can also display information about node reachability and discover the routing path that your device packets are taking through the network. To display various OSPF routing statistics, perform one of the following tasks, as needed: • To display general information about OSPF routing processes, enter the following command: hostname# show ospf [process-id [area-id]] • To display the internal OSPF routing table entries to the ABR and ASBR, enter the following command: hostname# show ospf border-routers • To display lists of information related to the OSPF database for a specific router, enter the following command: hostname# show ospf [process-id [area-id]] database • To display a list of LSAs waiting to be flooded over an interface (to observe OSPF packet pacing), enter the following command: hostname# show ospf flood-list if-name • To display OSPF-related interface information, enter the following command: hostname# show ospf interface [if_name] • To display OSPF neighbor information on a per-interface basis, enter the following command: hostname# show ospf neighbor [interface-name] [neighbor-id] [detail] • To display a list of all LSAs requested by a router, enter the following command: hostname# show ospf request-list neighbor if_name 9-20 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing Configuring RIP • To display a list of all LSAs waiting to be resent, enter the following command: hostname# show ospf retransmission-list neighbor if_name • To display a list of all summary address redistribution information configured under an OSPF process, enter the following command: hostname# show ospf [process-id] summary-address • To display OSPF-related virtual links information, enter the following command: hostname# show ospf [process-id] virtual-links Restarting the OSPF Process To restart an OSPF process, clear redistribution, or counters, enter the following command: hostname(config)# clear ospf pid {process | redistribution | counters [neighbor [neighbor-interface] [neighbor-id]]} Configuring RIP Devices that support RIP send routing-update messages at regular intervals and when the network topology changes. These RIP packets contain information about the networks that the devices can reach, as well as the number of routers or gateways that a packet must travel through to reach the destination address. RIP generates more traffic than OSPF, but is easier to configure. RIP has advantages over static routes because the initial configuration is simple, and you do not need to update the configuration when the topology changes. The disadvantage to RIP is that there is more network and processing overhead than static routing. The security appliance supports RIP Version 1 and RIP Version 2. This section describes how to configure RIP. This section includes the following topics: • Enabling and Configuring RIP, page 9-20 • Redistributing Routes into the RIP Routing Process, page 9-22 • Configuring RIP Send/Receive Version on an Interface, page 9-22 • Enabling RIP Authentication, page 9-23 • Monitoring RIP, page 9-23 Enabling and Configuring RIP You can only enable one RIP routing process on the security appliance. After you enable the RIP routing process, you must define the interfaces that will participate in that routing process using the network command. By default, the security appliance sends RIP Version 1 updates and accepts RIP Version 1 and Version 2 updates. 9-21 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing Configuring RIP To enable and configure the RIP routing process, perform the following steps: Step 1 Start the RIP routing process by entering the following command in global configuration mode: hostname(config): router rip You enter router configuration mode for the RIP routing process. Step 2 Specify the interfaces that will participate in the RIP routing process. Enter the following command for each interface that will participate in the RIP routing process: hostname(config-router): network network_address If an interface belongs to a network defined by this command, the interface will participate in the RIP routing process. If an interface does not belong to a network defined by this command, it will not send or receive RIP updates. Step 3 (Optional) Specify the version of RIP used by the security appliance by entering the following command: hostname(config-router): version [1 | 2] You can override this setting on a per-interface basis. Step 4 (Optional) To generate a default route into RIP, enter the following command: hostname(config-router): default-information originate Step 5 (Optional) To specify an interface to operate in passive mode, enter the following command: hostname(config-router): passive-interface [default | if_name] Using the default keyword causes all interfaces to operate in passive mode. Specifying an interface name sets only that interface to passive RIP mode. In passive mode, RIP routing updates are accepted by but not sent out of the specified interface. You can enter this command for each interface you want to set to passive mode. Step 6 (Optional) Disable automatic route summarization by entering the following command: hostname(config-router): no auto-summarize RIP Version 1 always uses automatic route summarization; you cannot disable it for RIP Version 1. RIP Version 2 uses route summarization by default; you can disable it using this command. Step 7 (Optional) To filter the networks received in updates, perform the following steps: a. Create a standard access list permitting the networks you want the RIP process to allow in the routing table and denying the networks you want the RIP process to discard. b. Enter the following command to apply the filter. You can specify an interface to apply the filter to only those updates received by that interface. hostname(config-router): distribute-list acl in [interface if_name] You can enter this command for each interface you want to apply a filter to. If you do not specify an interface name, the filter is applied to all RIP updates. Step 8 (Optional) To filter the networks sent in updates, perform the following steps: a. Create a standard access list permitting the networks you want the RIP process to advertise and denying the networks you do not want the RIP process to advertise. b. Enter the following command to apply the filter. You can specify an interface to apply the filter to only those updates sent by that interface. hostname(config-router): distribute-list acl out [interface if_name] 9-22 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing Configuring RIP You can enter this command for each interface you want to apply a filter to. If you do not specify an interface name, the filter is applied to all RIP updates. Redistributing Routes into the RIP Routing Process You can redistribute routes from the OSPF, static, and connected routing processes into the RIP routing process. To redistribute a routes into the RIP routing process, perform the following steps: Step 1 (Optional) Create a route-map to further define which routes from the specified routing protocol are redistributed in to the RIP routing process. See the “Defining Route Maps” section on page 9-7 for more information about creating a route map. Step 2 Choose one of the following options to redistribute the selected route type into the RIP routing process. • To redistribute connected routes into the RIP routing process, enter the following command: hostname(config-router): redistribute connected [metric {metric_value | transparent}] [route-map map_name] • To redistribute static routes into the RIP routing process, enter the following command: hostname(config-router): redistribute static [metric {metric_value | transparent}] [route-map map_name] • To redistribute routes from an OSPF routing process into the RIP routing process, enter the following command: hostname(config-router): redistribute ospf pid [match {internal | external [1 | 2] | nssa-external [1 | 2]}] [metric {metric_value | transparent}] [route-map map_name] Configuring RIP Send/Receive Version on an Interface You can override the globally-set version of RIP the security appliance uses to send and receive RIP updates on a per-interface basis. To configure the RIP send and receive Step 1 (Optional) To specify the version of RIP advertisements sent from an interface, perform the following steps: a. Enter interface configuration mode for the interface you are configuring by entering the following command: hostname(config)# interface phy_if b. Specify the version of RIP to use when sending RIP updates out of the interface by entering the following command: hostname(config-if)# rip send version {[1] [2]} 9-23 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing Configuring RIP Step 2 (Optional) To specify the version of RIP advertisements permitted to be received by an interface, perform the following steps: a. Enter interface configuration mode for the interface you are configuring by entering the following command: hostname(config)# interface phy_if b. Specify the version of RIP to allow when receiving RIP updates on the interface by entering the following command: hostname(config-if)# rip receive version {[1] [2]} RIP updates received on the interface that do not match the allowed version are dropped. Enabling RIP Authentication The security appliance supports RIP message authentication for RIP Version 2 messages. To enable RIP message authentication, perform the following steps: Step 1 Enter interface configuration mode for the interface you are configuring by entering the following command: hostname(config)# interface phy_if Step 2 (Optional) Set the authentication mode by entering the following command. By default, text authentication is used. MD5 authentication is recommended. hostname(config-if)# rip authentication mode {text | md5} Step 3 Enable authentication and configure the authentication key by entering the following command: hostname(config-if)# rip authentication key key key_id key-id Monitoring RIP To display various RIP routing statistics, perform one of the following tasks, as needed: • To display the contents of the RIP routing database, enter the following command: hostname# show rip database • To display the RIP commands in the running configuration, enter the following command: hostname# show running-config router rip Use the following debug commands only to troubleshoot specific problems or during troubleshooting sessions with Cisco TAC. Debugging output is assigned high priority in the CPU process and can render the system unusable. It is best to use debug commands during periods of lower network traffic and fewer users. Debugging during these periods decreases the likelihood that increased debug command processing overhead will affect system performance. • To display RIP processing events, enter the following command: hostname# debug rip events 9-24 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing The Routing Table • To display RIP database events, enter the following command: hostname# debug rip database The Routing Table This section contains the following topics: • Displaying the Routing Table, page 9-24 • How the Routing Table is Populated, page 9-24 • How Forwarding Decisions are Made, page 9-26 Displaying the Routing Table To view the entries in the routing table, enter the following command: hostname# show route Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2 E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, ia - IS-IS inter area * - candidate default, U - per-user static route, o - ODR P - periodic downloaded static route Gateway of last resort is 10.86.194.1 to network 0.0.0.0 S 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 [3/0] via 10.86.194.1, outside C 10.86.194.0 255.255.254.0 is directly connected, outside S* 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 [1/0] via 10.86.194.1, outside On the ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance, the following route is also shown. It is the internal loopback interface, which is used by the VPN Hardware Client feature for individual user authentication. C 127.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 is directly connected, _internal_loopback How the Routing Table is Populated The security appliance routing table can be populated by statically defined routes, directly connected routes, and routes discovered by the RIP and OSPF routing protocols. Because the security appliance can run multiple routing protocols in addition to having static and connected routed in the routing table, it is possible that the same route is discovered or entered in more than one manner. When two routes to the same destination are put into the routing table, the one that remains in the routing table is determined as follows: • If the two routes have different network prefix lengths (network masks), then both routes are considered unique and are entered in to the routing table. The packet forwarding logic then determines which of the two to use. For example, if the RIP and OSPF processes discovered the following routes: – RIP: 192.168.32.0/24 9-25 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing The Routing Table – OSPF: 192.168.32.0/19 Even though OSPF routes have the better administrative distance, both routes are installed in the routing table because each of these routes has a different prefix length (subnet mask). They are considered different destinations and the packet forwarding logic determine which route to use. • If the security appliance learns about multiple paths to the same destination from a single routing protocol, such as RIP, the route with the better metric (as determined by the routing protocol) is entered into the routing table. Metrics are values associated with specific routes, ranking them from most preferred to least preferred. The parameters used to determine the metrics differ for different routing protocols. The path with the lowest metric is selected as the optimal path and installed in the routing table. If there are multiple paths to the same destination with equal metrics, load balancing is done on these equal cost paths. • If the security appliance learns about a destination from more than one routing protocol, the administrative distances of the routes are compared and the routes with lower administrative distance is entered into the routing table. Administrative distance is a route parameter that security appliance uses to select the best path when there are two or more different routes to the same destination from two different routing protocols. Because the routing protocols have metrics based on algorithms that are different from the other protocols, it is not always possible to determine the “best path” for two routes to the same destination that were generated by different routing protocols. Each routing protocol is prioritized using an administrative distance value. Table 9-1 shows the default administrative distance values for the routing protocols supported by the security appliance. The smaller the administrative distance value, the more preference is given to the protocol. For example, if the security appliance receives a route to a certain network from both an OSPF routing process (default administrative distance - 110) and a RIP routing process (default administrative distance - 100), the security appliance chooses the OSPF route because OSPF has a higher preference. This means the router adds the OSPF version of the route to the routing table. In the above example, if the source of the OSPF-derived route was lost (for example, due to a power shutdown), the security appliance would then use the RIP-derived route until the OSPF-derived route reappears. The administrative distance is a local setting. For example, if you use the distance-ospf command to change the administrative distance of routes obtained through OSPF, that change would only affect the routing table for the security appliance the command was entered on. The administrative distance is not advertised in routing updates. Administrative distance does not affect the routing process. The OSPF and RIP routing processes only advertise the routes that have been discovered by the routing process or redistributed into the routing process. For example, the RIP routing process advertises RIP routes, even if routes discovered by the OSPF routing process are used in the security appliance routing table. Table 9-1 Default Administrative Distance for Supported Routing Protocols Route Source Default Administrative Distance Connected interface 0 Static route 1 OSPF 110 RIP 120 9-26 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing Dynamic Routing and Failover Backup Routes A backup route is registered when the initial attempt to install the route in the routing table fails because another route was installed instead. If the route that was installed in the routing table fails, the routing table maintenance process calls each routing protocol process that has registered a backup route and requests them to reinstall the route in the routing table. If there are multiple protocols with registered backup routes for the failed route, the preferred route is chosen based on administrative distance. Because of this process, you can create “floating” static routes that are installed in the routing table when the route discovered by a dynamic routing protocol fails. A floating static route is simply a static route configured with a greater administrative distance than the dynamic routing protocols running on the security appliance. When the corresponding route discover by a dynamic routing process fails, the static route is installed in the routing table. How Forwarding Decisions are Made Forwarding decisions are made as follows: • If the destination does not match an entry in the routing table, the packet is forwarded through the interface specified for the default route. If a default route has not been configured, the packet is discarded. • If the destination matches a single entry in the routing table, the packet is forwarded through the interface associated with that route. • If the destination matches more than one entry in the routing table, and the entries all have the same network prefix length, the packets for that destination are distributed among the interfaces associated with that route. • If the destination matches more than one entry in the routing table, and the entries have different network prefix lengths, then the packet is forwarded out of the interface associated with the route that has the longer network prefix length. For example, a packet destined for 192.168.32.1 arrives on an interface of a security appliance with the following routes in the routing table: hostname# show route .... R 192.168.32.0/24 [120/4] via 10.1.1.2 O 192.168.32.0/19 [110/229840] via 10.1.1.3 .... In this case, a packet destined to 192.168.32.1 is directed toward 10.1.1.2, because 192.168.32.1 falls within the 192.168.32.0/24 network. It also falls within the other route in the routing table, but the 192.168.32.0/24 has the longest prefix within the routing table (24 bits verses 19 bits). Longer prefixes are always preferred over shorter ones when forwarding a packet. Dynamic Routing and Failover Dynamic routes are not replicated to the standby unit or failover group in a failover configuration. Therefore, immediately after a failover occurs, some packets received by the security appliance may be dropped because of a lack of routing information or routed to a default static route while the routing table is repopulated by the configured dynamic routing protocols. CH A P T E R 10-1 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 10 Configuring DHCP, DDNS, and WCCP Services This chapter describes how to configure the DHCP server, dynamic DNS (DDNS) update methods, and WCCP on the security appliance. DHCP provides network configuration parameters, such as IP addresses, to DHCP clients. The security appliance can provide a DHCP server or DHCP relay services to DHCP clients attached to security appliance interfaces. The DHCP server provides network configuration parameters directly to DHCP clients. DHCP relay passes DHCP requests received on one interface to an external DHCP server located behind a different interface. DDNS update integrates DNS with DHCP. The two protocols are complementary: DHCP centralizes and automates IP address allocation; DDNS update automatically records the association between assigned addresses and hostnames at pre-defined intervals. DDNS allows frequently changing address-hostname associations to be updated frequently. Mobile hosts, for example, can then move freely on a network without user or administrator intervention. DDNS provides the necessary dynamic updating and synchronizing of the name to address and address to name mappings on the DNS server. WCCP specifies interactions between one or more routers, Layer 3 switches, or security appliances and one or more web caches. The feature transparently redirects selected types of traffic to a group of web cache engines to optimize resource usage and lower response times. This chapter includes the following sections: • Configuring a DHCP Server, page 10-1 • Configuring DHCP Relay Services, page 10-5 • Configuring Dynamic DNS, page 10-6 • Configuring Web Cache Services Using WCCP, page 10-9 Configuring a DHCP Server This section describes how to configure DHCP server provided by the security appliance. This section includes the following topics: • Enabling the DHCP Server, page 10-2 • Configuring DHCP Options, page 10-3 • Using Cisco IP Phones with a DHCP Server, page 10-4 10-2 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 10 Configuring DHCP, DDNS, and WCCP Services Configuring a DHCP Server Enabling the DHCP Server The security appliance can act as a DHCP server. DHCP is a protocol that supplies network settings to hosts including the host IP address, the default gateway, and a DNS server. Note The security appliance DHCP server does not support BOOTP requests. In multiple context mode, you cannot enable the DHCP server or DHCP relay on an interface that is used by more than one context. You can configure a DHCP server on each interface of the security appliance. Each interface can have its own pool of addresses to draw from. However the other DHCP settings, such as DNS servers, domain name, options, ping timeout, and WINS servers, are configured globally and used by the DHCP server on all interfaces. You cannot configure a DHCP client or DHCP Relay services on an interface on which the server is enabled. Additionally, DHCP clients must be directly connected to the interface on which the server is enabled. To enable the DHCP server on a given security appliance interface, perform the following steps: Step 1 Create a DHCP address pool. Enter the following command to define the address pool: hostname(config)# dhcpd address ip_address-ip_address interface_name The security appliance assigns a client one of the addresses from this pool to use for a given length of time. These addresses are the local, untranslated addresses for the directly connected network. The address pool must be on the same subnet as the security appliance interface. Step 2 (Optional) To specify the IP address(es) of the DNS server(s) the client will use, enter the following command: hostname(config)# dhcpd dns dns1 [dns2] You can specify up to two DNS servers. Step 3 (Optional) To specify the IP address(es) of the WINS server(s) the client will use, enter the following command: hostname(config)# dhcpd wins wins1 [wins2] You can specify up to two WINS servers. Step 4 (Optional) To change the lease length to be granted to the client, enter the following command: hostname(config)# dhcpd lease lease_length This lease equals the amount of time (in seconds) the client can use its allocated IP address before the lease expires. Enter a value between 300 to 1,048,575. The default value is 3600 seconds. Step 5 (Optional) To configure the domain name the client uses, enter the following command: hostname(config)# dhcpd domain domain_name Step 6 (Optional) To configure the DHCP ping timeout value, enter the following command: hostname(config)# dhcpd ping_timeout milliseconds To avoid address conflicts, the security appliance sends two ICMP ping packets to an address before assigning that address to a DHCP client. This command specifies the timeout value for those packets. 10-3 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 10 Configuring DHCP, DDNS, and WCCP Services Configuring a DHCP Server Step 7 (Transparent Firewall Mode) Define a default gateway. To define the default gateway that is sent to DHCP clients, enter the following command. hostname(config)# dhcpd option 3 ip gateway_ip If you do not use the DHCP option 3 to define the default gateway, DHCP clients use the IP address of the management interface. The management interface does not route traffic. Step 8 To enable the DHCP daemon within the security appliance to listen for DHCP client requests on the enabled interface, enter the following command: hostname(config)# dhcpd enable interface_name For example, to assign the range 10.0.1.101 to 10.0.1.110 to hosts connected to the inside interface, enter the following commands: hostname(config)# dhcpd address 10.0.1.101-10.0.1.110 inside hostname(config)# dhcpd dns 209.165.201.2 209.165.202.129 hostname(config)# dhcpd wins 209.165.201.5 hostname(config)# dhcpd lease 3000 hostname(config)# dhcpd domain example.com hostname(config)# dhcpd enable inside Configuring DHCP Options You can configure the security appliance to send information for the DHCP options listed in RFC 2132. The DHCP options fall into one of three categories: • Options that return an IP address. • Options that return a text string. • Options that return a hexadecimal value. The security appliance supports all three categories of DHCP options. To configure a DHCP option, do one of the following: • To configure a DHCP option that returns one or two IP addresses, enter the following command: hostname(config)# dhcpd option code ip addr_1 [addr_2] • To configure a DHCP option that returns a text string, enter the following command: hostname(config)# dhcpd option code ascii text • To configure a DHCP option that returns a hexadecimal value, enter the following command: hostname(config)# dhcpd option code hex value Note The security appliance does not verify that the option type and value that you provide match the expected type and value for the option code as defined in RFC 2132. For example, you can enter the dhcpd option 46 ascii hello command and the security appliance accepts the configuration although option 46 is defined in RFC 2132 as expecting a single-digit, hexadecimal value. For more information about the option codes and their associated types and expected values, refer to RFC 2132. Table 10-1 shows the DHCP options that are not supported by the dhcpd option command. 10-4 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 10 Configuring DHCP, DDNS, and WCCP Services Configuring a DHCP Server Specific options, DHCP option 3, 66, and 150, are used to configure Cisco IP Phones. See the “Using Cisco IP Phones with a DHCP Server” section on page 10-4 topic for more information about configuring those options. Using Cisco IP Phones with a DHCP Server Enterprises with small branch offices that implement a Cisco IP Telephony Voice over IP solution typically implement Cisco CallManager at a central office to control Cisco IP Phones at small branch offices. This implementation allows centralized call processing, reduces the equipment required, and eliminates the administration of additional Cisco CallManager and other servers at branch offices. Cisco IP Phones download their configuration from a TFTP server. When a Cisco IP Phone starts, if it does not have both the IP address and TFTP server IP address preconfigured, it sends a request with option 150 or 66 to the DHCP server to obtain this information. • DHCP option 150 provides the IP addresses of a list of TFTP servers. • DHCP option 66 gives the IP address or the hostname of a single TFTP server. Cisco IP Phones might also include DHCP option 3 in their requests, which sets the default route. Cisco IP Phones might include both option 150 and 66 in a single request. In this case, the security appliance DHCP server provides values for both options in the response if they are configured on the security appliance. You can configure the security appliance to send information for most options listed in RFC 2132. The following example shows the syntax for any option number, as well as the syntax for commonly-used options 66, 150, and 3: • To provide information for DHCP requests that include an option number as specified in RFC-2132, enter the following command: Table 10-1 Unsupported DHCP Options Option Code Description 0 DHCPOPT_PAD 1 HCPOPT_SUBNET_MASK 12 DHCPOPT_HOST_NAME 50 DHCPOPT_REQUESTED_ADDRESS 51 DHCPOPT_LEASE_TIME 52 DHCPOPT_OPTION_OVERLOAD 53 DHCPOPT_MESSAGE_TYPE 54 DHCPOPT_SERVER_IDENTIFIER 58 DHCPOPT_RENEWAL_TIME 59 DHCPOPT_REBINDING_TIME 61 DHCPOPT_CLIENT_IDENTIFIER 67 DHCPOPT_BOOT_FILE_NAME 82 DHCPOPT_RELAY_INFORMATION 255 DHCPOPT_END 10-5 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 10 Configuring DHCP, DDNS, and WCCP Services Configuring DHCP Relay Services hostname(config)# dhcpd option number value • To provide the IP address or name of a TFTP server for option 66, enter the following command: hostname(config)# dhcpd option 66 ascii server_name • To provide the IP address or names of one or two TFTP servers for option 150, enter the following command: hostname(config)# dhcpd option 150 ip server_ip1 [server_ip2] The server_ip1 is the IP address or name of the primary TFTP server while server_ip2 is the IP address or name of the secondary TFTP server. A maximum of two TFTP servers can be identified using option 150. • To set the default route, enter the following command: hostname(config)# dhcpd option 3 ip router_ip1 Configuring DHCP Relay Services A DHCP relay agent allows the security appliance to forward DHCP requests from clients to a router connected to a different interface. The following restrictions apply to the use of the DHCP relay agent: • The relay agent cannot be enabled if the DHCP server feature is also enabled. • Clients must be directly connected to the security appliance and cannot send requests through another relay agent or a router. • For multiple context mode, you cannot enable DHCP relay on an interface that is used by more than one context. Note DHCP Relay services are not available in transparent firewall mode. A security appliance in transparent firewall mode only allows ARP traffic through; all other traffic requires an access list. To allow DHCP requests and replies through the security appliance in transparent mode, you need to configure two access lists, one that allows DCHP requests from the inside interface to the outside, and one that allows the replies from the server in the other direction. Note When DHCP relay is enabled and more than one DHCP relay server is defined, the security appliance forwards client requests to each defined DHCP relay server. Replies from the servers are also forwarded to the client until the client DHCP relay binding is removed. The binding is removed when the security appliance receives any of the following DHCP messages: ACK, NACK, or decline. To enable DHCP relay, perform the following steps: Step 1 To set the IP address of a DHCP server on a different interface from the DHCP client, enter the following command: hostname(config)# dhcprelay server ip_address if_name You can use this command up to 4 times to identify up to 4 servers. Step 2 To enable DHCP relay on the interface connected to the clients, enter the following command: 10-6 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 10 Configuring DHCP, DDNS, and WCCP Services Configuring Dynamic DNS hostname(config)# dhcprelay enable interface Step 3 (Optional) To set the number of seconds allowed for relay address negotiation, enter the following command: hostname(config)# dhcprelay timeout seconds Step 4 (Optional) To change the first default router address in the packet sent from the DHCP server to the address of the security appliance interface, enter the following command: hostname(config)# dhcprelay setroute interface_name This action allows the client to set its default route to point to the security appliance even if the DHCP server specifies a different router. If there is no default router option in the packet, the security appliance adds one containing the interface address. The following example enables the security appliance to forward DHCP requests from clients connected to the inside interface to a DHCP server on the outside interface: hostname(config)# dhcprelay server 201.168.200.4 hostname(config)# dhcprelay enable inside hostname(config)# dhcprelay setroute inside Configuring Dynamic DNS This section describes examples for configuring the security appliance to support Dynamic DNS. DDNS update integrates DNS with DHCP. The two protocols are complementary—DHCP centralizes and automates IP address allocation, while dynamic DNS update automatically records the association between assigned addresses and hostnames. When you use DHCP and dynamic DNS update, this configures a host automatically for network access whenever it attaches to the IP network. You can locate and reach the host using its permanent, unique DNS hostname. Mobile hosts, for example, can move freely without user or administrator intervention. DDNS provides address and domain name mappings so hosts can find each other even though their DHCP-assigned IP addresses change frequently. The DDNS name and address mappings are held on the DHCP server in two resource records: the A RR contains the name to IP address mapping while the PTR RR maps addresses to names. Of the two methods for performing DDNS updates—the IETF standard defined by RFC 2136 and a generic HTTP method—the security appliance supports the IETF method in this release. The two most common DDNS update configurations are: • The DHCP client updates the A RR while the DHCP server updates PTR RR. • The DHCP server updates both the A and PTR RRs. In general, the DHCP server maintains DNS PTR RRs on behalf of clients. Clients may be configured to perform all desired DNS updates. The server may be configured to honor these updates or not. To update the PTR RR, the DHCP server must know the Fully Qualified Domain Name of the client. The client provides an FQDN to the server using a DHCP option called Client FQDN. The following examples present these common scenarios: • Example 1: Client Updates Both A and PTR RRs for Static IP Addresses, page 10-7 10-7 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 10 Configuring DHCP, DDNS, and WCCP Services Configuring Dynamic DNS • Example 2: Client Updates Both A and PTR RRs; DHCP Server Honors Client Update Request; FQDN Provided Through Configuration, page 10-7 • Example 3: Client Includes FQDN Option Instructing Server Not to Update Either RR; Server Overrides Client and Updates Both RRs., page 10-8 • Example 4: Client Asks Server To Perform Both Updates; Server Configured to Update PTR RR Only; Honors Client Request and Updates Both A and PTR RR, page 10-8 • Example 5: Client Updates A RR; Server Updates PTR RR, page 10-9 Example 1: Client Updates Both A and PTR RRs for Static IP Addresses The following example configures the client to request that it update both A and PTR resource records for static IP addresses. To configure this example, perform the following steps: Step 1 To define a DDNS update method called ddns-2 that requests that the client update both the A and PTR RRs, enter the following commands: hostname(config)# ddns update method ddns-2 hostname(DDNS-update-method)# ddns both Step 2 To associate the method ddns-2 with the eth1 interface, enter the following commands: hostname(DDNS-update-method)# interface eth1 hostname(config-if)# ddns update ddns-2 hostname(config-if)# ddns update hostname asa.example.com Step 3 To configure a static IP address for eth1, enter the following commands: hostname(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.40 255.255.255.0 Example 2: Client Updates Both A and PTR RRs; DHCP Server Honors Client Update Request; FQDN Provided Through Configuration The following example configures 1) the DHCP client to request that it update both the A and PTR RRs, and 2) the DHCP server to honor the requests. To configure this example, perform the following steps: Step 1 To configure the DHCP client to request that the DHCP server perform no updates, enter the following command: hostname(config)# dhcp-client update dns server none Step 2 To create a DDNS update method named ddns-2 on the DHCP client that requests that the client perform both A and PTR updates, enter the following commands: hostname(config)# ddns update method ddns-2 hostname(DDNS-update-method)# ddns both Step 3 To associate the method named ddns-2 with the security appliance interface named Ethernet0, and enable DHCP on the interface, enter the following commands: hostname(DDNS-update-method)# interface Ethernet0 hostname(if-config)# ddns update ddns-2 hostname(if-config)# ddns update hostname asa.example.com hostname(if-config)# ip address dhcp 10-8 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 10 Configuring DHCP, DDNS, and WCCP Services Configuring Dynamic DNS Step 4 To configure the DHCP server, enter the following command: hostname(if-config)# dhcpd update dns Example 3: Client Includes FQDN Option Instructing Server Not to Update Either RR; Server Overrides Client and Updates Both RRs. The following example configures the DHCP client to include the FQDN option instructing the DHCP server not to update either the A or PTR updates. The example also configures the server to override the client request. As a result, the client backs off without performing any updates. To configure this scenario, perform the following steps: Step 1 To configure the update method named ddns-2 to request that it make both A and PTR RR updates, enter the following commands: hostname(config)# ddns update method ddns-2 hostname(DDNS-update-method)# ddns both Step 2 To assign the DDNS update method named ddns-2 on interface Ethernet0 and provide the client hostname (asa), enter the following commands: hostname(DDNS-update-method)# interface Ethernet0 hostname(if-config)# ddns update ddns-2 hostname(if-config)# ddns update hostname asa.example.com Step 3 To enable the DHCP client feature on the interface, enter the following commands: hostname(if-config)# dhcp client update dns server none hostname(if-config)# ip address dhcp Step 4 To configure the DHCP server to override the client update requests, enter the following command: hostname(if-config)# dhcpd update dns both override Example 4: Client Asks Server To Perform Both Updates; Server Configured to Update PTR RR Only; Honors Client Request and Updates Both A and PTR RR The following example configures the server to perform only PTR RR updates by default. However, the server honors the client request that it perform both A and PTR updates. The server also forms the FQDN by appending the domain name (example.com) to the hostname provided by the client (asa). To configure this scenario, perform the following steps: Step 1 To configure the DHCP client on interface Ethernet0, enter the following commands: hostname(config)# interface Ethernet0 hostname(config-if)# dhcp client update dns both hostname(config-if)# ddns update hostname asa Step 2 To configure the DHCP server, enter the following commands: hostname(config-if)# dhcpd update dns 10-9 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 10 Configuring DHCP, DDNS, and WCCP Services Configuring Web Cache Services Using WCCP hostname(config-if)# dhcpd domain example.com Example 5: Client Updates A RR; Server Updates PTR RR The following example configures the client to update the A resource record and the server to update the PTR records. Also, the client uses the domain name from the DHCP server to form the FQDN. To configure this scenario, perform the following steps: Step 1 To define the DDNS update method named ddns-2, enter the following commands: hostname(config)# ddns update method ddns-2 hostname(DDNS-update-method)# ddns Step 2 To configure the DHCP client for interface Ethernet0 and assign the update method to the interface, enter the following commands: hostname(DDNS-update-method)# interface Ethernet0 hostname(config-if)# dhcp client update dns hostname(config-if)# ddns update ddns-2 hostname(config-if)# ddns update hostname asa Step 3 To configure the DHCP server, enter the following commands: hostname(config-if)# dhcpd update dns hostname(config-if)# dhcpd domain example.com Configuring Web Cache Services Using WCCP The purpose of web caching is to reduce latency and network traffic. Previously-accessed web pages are stored in a cache buffer, so if a user needs the page again, they can retrieve it from the cache instead of the web server. WCCP specifies interactions between the security appliance and external web caches. The feature transparently redirects selected types of traffic to a group of web cache engines to optimize resource usage and lower response times. The security appliance only supports WCCP version 2. Using a security appliance as an intermediary eliminates the need for a separate router to do the WCCP redirect because the security appliance takes care of redirecting requests to cache engines. When the security appliance knows when a packet needs redirection, it skips TCP state tracking, TCP sequence number randomization, and NAT on these traffic flows. This section includes the following topics: • WCCP Feature Support, page 10-9 • WCCP Interaction With Other Features, page 10-10 • Enabling WCCP Redirection, page 10-10 WCCP Feature Support The following WCCPv2 features are supported with the security appliance: 10-10 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 10 Configuring DHCP, DDNS, and WCCP Services Configuring Web Cache Services Using WCCP • Redirection of multiple TCP/UDP port-destined traffic. • Authentication for cache engines in a service group. The following WCCPv2 features are not supported with the security appliance: • Multiple routers in a service group is not supported. Multiple Cache Engines in a service group is still supported. • Multicast WCCP is not supported. • The Layer 2 redirect method is not supported; only GRE encapsulation is supported. • WCCP source address spoofing. WCCP Interaction With Other Features In the security appliance implementation of WCCP, the following applies as to how the protocol interacts with other configurable features: • An ingress access list entry always takes higher priority over WCCP. For example, if an access list does not permit a client to communicate with a server then traffic will not be redirected to a cache engine. Both ingress interface access lists and egress interface access lists will be applied. • TCP intercept, authorization, URL filtering, inspect engines, and IPS features are not applied to a redirected flow of traffic. • When a cache engine cannot service a request and packet is returned, or when a cache miss happens on a cache engine and it requests data from a web server, then the contents of the traffic flow will be subject to all the other configured features of the security appliance. • In failover, WCCP redirect tables are not replicated to standby units. After a failover, packets will not be redirected until the tables are rebuilt. Sessions redirected prior to failover will likely be reset by the web server. Enabling WCCP Redirection There are two steps to configuring WCCP redirection on the security appliance. The first involves identifying the service to be redirected with the wccp command, and the second is defining on which interface the redirection occurs with the wccp redirect command. The wccp command can optionally also define which cache engines can participate in the service group, and what traffic should be redirected to the cache engine. WCCP redirect is supported only on the ingress of an interface. The only topology that the security appliance supports is when client and cache engine are behind the same interface of the security appliance and the cache engine can directly communicate with the client without going through the security appliance. The following configuration tasks assume you have already installed and configured the cache engines you wish to include in your network. To configure WCCP redirection, perform the following steps: Step 1 To enable a WCCP service group, enter the following command: hostname(config)# wccp {web-cache | service_number} [redirect-list access_list] [group-list access_list] [password password] 10-11 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 10 Configuring DHCP, DDNS, and WCCP Services Configuring Web Cache Services Using WCCP The standard service is web-cache, which intercepts TCP port 80 (HTTP) traffic and redirects that traffic to the cache engines, but you can identify a service number if desired between 0 and 254. For example, to transparently redirect native FTP traffic to a cache engine, use WCCP service 60. You can enter this command multiple times for each service group you want to enable. The redirect-list access_list argument controls traffic redirected to this service group. The group-list access_list argument determines which web cache IP addresses are allowed to participate in the service group. The password password argument specifies MD5 authentication for messages received from the service group. Messages that are not accepted by the authentication are discarded. Step 2 To enable WCCP redirection on an interface, enter the following command: hostname(config)# wccp interface interface_name {web-cache | service_number} redirect in The standard service is web-cache, which intercepts TCP port 80 (HTTP) traffic and redirects that traffic to the cache engines, but you can identify a service number if desired between 0 and 254. For example, to transparently redirect native FTP traffic to a cache engine, use WCCP service 60. You can enter this command multiple times for each service group you want to participate in. For example, to enable the standard web-cache service and redirect HTTP traffic that enters the inside interface to a web cache, enter the following commands: hostname(config)# wccp web-cache hostname(config)# wccp interface inside web-cache redirect in 10-12 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 10 Configuring DHCP, DDNS, and WCCP Services Configuring Web Cache Services Using WCCP CH A P T E R 11-13 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 11 Configuring Multicast Routing This chapter describes how to configure multicast routing. This section includes the following topics: • Multicast Routing Overview, page 11-13 • Enabling Multicast Routing, page 11-14 • Configuring IGMP Features, page 11-14 • Configuring Stub Multicast Routing, page 11-17 • Configuring a Static Multicast Route, page 11-17 • Configuring PIM Features, page 11-18 • For More Information about Multicast Routing, page 11-22 Multicast Routing Overview The security appliance supports both stub multicast routing and PIM multicast routing. However, you cannot configure both concurrently on a single security appliance. Stub multicast routing provides dynamic host registration and facilitates multicast routing. When configured for stub multicast routing, the security appliance acts as an IGMP proxy agent. Instead of fully participating in multicast routing, the security appliance forwards IGMP messages to an upstream multicast router, which sets up delivery of the multicast data. When configured for stub multicast routing, the security appliance cannot be configured for PIM. The security appliance supports both PIM-SM and bi-directional PIM. PIM-SM is a multicast routing protocol that uses the underlying unicast routing information base or a separate multicast-capable routing information base. It builds unidirectional shared trees rooted at a single Rendezvous Point per multicast group and optionally creates shortest-path trees per multicast source. Bi-directional PIM is a variant of PIM-SM that builds bi-directional shared trees connecting multicast sources and receivers. Bi-directional trees are built using a DF election process operating on each link of the multicast topology. With the assistance of the DF, multicast data is forwarded from sources to the Rendezvous Point, and therefore along the shared tree to receivers, without requiring source-specific state. The DF election takes place during Rendezvous Point discovery and provides a default route to the Rendezvous Point. Note If the security appliance is the PIM RP, use the untranslated outside address of the security appliance as the RP address. 11-14 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 11 Configuring Multicast Routing Enabling Multicast Routing Enabling Multicast Routing Enabling multicast routing lets the security appliance forward multicast packets. Enabling multicast routing automatically enables PIM and IGMP on all interfaces. To enable multicast routing, enter the following command: hostname(config)# multicast-routing The number of entries in the multicast routing tables are limited by the amount of RAM on the system. Table 11-1 lists the maximum number of entries for specific multicast tables based on the amount of RAM on the security appliance. Once these limits are reached, any new entries are discarded. Configuring IGMP Features IP hosts use IGMP to report their group memberships to directly connected multicast routers. IGMP uses group addresses (Class D IP address) as group identifiers. Host group address can be in the range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. The address 224.0.0.0 is never assigned to any group. The address 224.0.0.1 is assigned to all systems on a subnet. The address 224.0.0.2 is assigned to all routers on a subnet. When you enable multicast routing on the security appliance, IGMP Version 2 is automatically enabled on all interfaces. Note Only the no igmp command appears in the interface configuration when you use the show run command. If the multicast-routing command appears in the device configuration, then IGMP is automatically enabled on all interfaces. This section describes how to configure optional IGMP setting on a per-interface basis. This section includes the following topics: • Disabling IGMP on an Interface, page 11-15 • Configuring Group Membership, page 11-15 • Configuring a Statically Joined Group, page 11-15 • Controlling Access to Multicast Groups, page 11-15 • Limiting the Number of IGMP States on an Interface, page 11-16 • Modifying the Query Interval and Query Timeout, page 11-16 • Changing the Query Response Time, page 11-17 • Changing the IGMP Version, page 11-17 Table 11-1 Entry Limits for Multicast Tables Table 16 MB 128 MB 128+ MB MFIB 1000 3000 5000 IGMP Groups 1000 3000 5000 PIM Routes 3000 7000 12000 11-15 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 11 Configuring Multicast Routing Configuring IGMP Features Disabling IGMP on an Interface You can disable IGMP on specific interfaces. This is useful if you know that you do not have any multicast hosts on a specific interface and you want to prevent the security appliance from sending host query messages on that interface. To disable IGMP on an interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# no igmp To reenable IGMP on an interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# igmp Note Only the no igmp command appears in the interface configuration. Configuring Group Membership You can configure the security appliance to be a member of a multicast group. Configuring the security appliance to join a multicast group causes upstream routers to maintain multicast routing table information for that group and keep the paths for that group active. To have the security appliance join a multicast group, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# igmp join-group group-address Configuring a Statically Joined Group Sometimes a group member cannot report its membership in the group, or there may be no members of a group on the network segment, but you still want multicast traffic for that group to be sent to that network segment. You can have multicast traffic for that group sent to the segment in one of two ways: • Using the igmp join-group command (see Configuring Group Membership, page 11-15). This causes the security appliance to accept and to forward the multicast packets. • Using the igmp static-group command. The security appliance does not accept the multicast packets but rather forwards them to the specified interface. To configure a statically joined multicast group on an interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# igmp static-group group-address Controlling Access to Multicast Groups To control the multicast groups that hosts on the security appliance interface can join, perform the following steps: Step 1 Create an access list for the multicast traffic. You can create more than one entry for a single access list. You can use extended or standard access lists. • To create a standard access list, enter the following command: 11-16 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 11 Configuring Multicast Routing Configuring IGMP Features hostname(config)# access-list name standard [permit | deny] ip_addr mask The ip_addr argument is the IP address of the multicast group being permitted or denied. • To create an extended access list, enter the following command: hostname(config)# access-list name extended [permit | deny] protocol src_ip_addr src_mask dst_ip_addr dst_mask The dst_ip_addr argument is the IP address of the multicast group being permitted or denied. Step 2 Apply the access list to an interface by entering the following command: hostname(config-if)# igmp access-group acl The acl argument is the name of a standard or extended IP access list. Limiting the Number of IGMP States on an Interface You can limit the number of IGMP states resulting from IGMP membership reports on a per-interface basis. Membership reports exceeding the configured limits are not entered in the IGMP cache and traffic for the excess membership reports is not forwarded. To limit the number of IGMP states on an interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# igmp limit number Valid values range from 0 to 500, with 500 being the default value. Setting this value to 0 prevents learned groups from being added, but manually defined memberships (using the igmp join-group and igmp static-group commands) are still permitted. The no form of this command restores the default value. Modifying the Query Interval and Query Timeout The security appliance sends query messages to discover which multicast groups have members on the networks attached to the interfaces. Members respond with IGMP report messages indicating that they want to receive multicast packets for specific groups. Query messages are addressed to the all-systems multicast group, which has an address of 224.0.0.1, with a time-to-live value of 1. These messages are sent periodically to refresh the membership information stored on the security appliance. If the security appliance discovers that there are no local members of a multicast group still attached to an interface, it stops forwarding multicast packet for that group to the attached network and it sends a prune message back to the source of the packets. By default, the PIM designated router on the subnet is responsible for sending the query messages. By default, they are sent once every 125 seconds. To change this interval, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# igmp query-interval seconds If the security appliance does not hear a query message on an interface for the specified timeout value (by default, 255 seconds), then the security appliance becomes the designated router and starts sending the query messages. To change this timeout value, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# igmp query-timeout seconds 11-17 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 11 Configuring Multicast Routing Configuring Stub Multicast Routing Note The igmp query-timeout and igmp query-interval commands require IGMP Version 2. Changing the Query Response Time By default, the maximum query response time advertised in IGMP queries is 10 seconds. If the security appliance does not receive a response to a host query within this amount of time, it deletes the group. To change the maximum query response time, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# igmp query-max-response-time seconds Changing the IGMP Version By default, the security appliance runs IGMP Version 2, which enables several additional features such as the igmp query-timeout and igmp query-interval commands. All multicast routers on a subnet must support the same version of IGMP. The security appliance does not automatically detect version 1 routers and switch to version 1. However, a mix of IGMP Version 1 and 2 hosts on the subnet works; the security appliance running IGMP Version 2 works correctly when IGMP Version 1 hosts are present. To control which version of IGMP is running on an interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# igmp version {1 | 2} Configuring Stub Multicast Routing A security appliance acting as the gateway to the stub area does not need to participate in PIM. Instead, you can configure it to act as an IGMP proxy agent and forward IGMP messages from hosts connected on one interface to an upstream multicast router on another. To configure the security appliance as an IGMP proxy agent, forward the host join and leave messages from the stub area interface to an upstream interface. To forward the host join and leave messages, enter the following command from the interface attached to the stub area: hostname(config-if)# igmp forward interface if_name Note Stub Multicast Routing and PIM are not supported concurrently. Configuring a Static Multicast Route When using PIM, the security appliance expects to receive packets on the same interface where it sends unicast packets back to the source. In some cases, such as bypassing a route that does not support multicast routing, you may want unicast packets to take one path and multicast packets to take another. Static multicast routes are not advertised or redistributed. 11-18 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 11 Configuring Multicast Routing Configuring PIM Features To configure a static multicast route for PIM, enter the following command: hostname(config)# mroute src_ip src_mask {input_if_name | rpf_addr) [distance] To configure a static multicast route for a stub area, enter the following command: hostname(config)# mroute src_ip src_mask input_if_name [dense output_if_name] [distance] Note The dense output_if_name keyword and argument pair is only supported for stub multicast routing. Configuring PIM Features Routers use PIM to maintain forwarding tables for forwarding multicast diagrams. When you enable multicast routing on the security appliance, PIM and IGMP are automatically enabled on all interfaces. Note PIM is not supported with PAT. The PIM protocol does not use ports and PAT only works with protocols that use ports. This section describes how to configure optional PIM settings. This section includes the following topics: • Disabling PIM on an Interface, page 11-18 • Configuring a Static Rendezvous Point Address, page 11-19 • Configuring the Designated Router Priority, page 11-19 • Filtering PIM Register Messages, page 11-19 • Configuring PIM Message Intervals, page 11-20 • Configuring a Multicast Boundary, page 11-20 • Filtering PIM Neighbors, page 11-20 • Supporting Mixed Bidirectional/Sparse-Mode PIM Networks, page 11-21 Disabling PIM on an Interface You can disable PIM on specific interfaces. To disable PIM on an interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# no pim To reenable PIM on an interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# pim Note Only the no pim command appears in the interface configuration. 11-19 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 11 Configuring Multicast Routing Configuring PIM Features Configuring a Static Rendezvous Point Address All routers within a common PIM sparse mode or bidir domain require knowledge of the PIM RP address. The address is statically configured using the pim rp-address command. Note The security appliance does not support Auto-RP or PIM BSR; you must use the pim rp-address command to specify the RP address. You can configure the security appliance to serve as RP to more than one group. The group range specified in the access list determines the PIM RP group mapping. If an access list is not specified, then the RP for the group is applied to the entire multicast group range (224.0.0.0/4). To configure the address of the PIM PR, enter the following command: hostname(config)# pim rp-address ip_address [acl] [bidir] The ip_address argument is the unicast IP address of the router to be a PIM RP. The acl argument is the name or number of a standard access list that defines which multicast groups the RP should be used with. Do not use a host ACL with this command. Excluding the bidir keyword causes the groups to operate in PIM sparse mode. Note The security appliance always advertises the bidir capability in the PIM hello messages regardless of the actual bidir configuration. Configuring the Designated Router Priority The DR is responsible for sending PIM register, join, and prune messaged to the RP. When there is more than one multicast router on a network segment, there is an election process to select the DR based on DR priority. If multiple devices have the same DR priority, then the device with the highest IP address becomes the DR. By default, the security appliance has a DR priority of 1. You can change this value by entering the following command: hostname(config-if)# pim dr-priority num The num argument can be any number from 1 to 4294967294. Filtering PIM Register Messages You can configure the security appliance to filter PIM register messages. To filter PIM register messages, enter the following command: hostname(config)# pim accept-register {list acl | route-map map-name} 11-20 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 11 Configuring Multicast Routing Configuring PIM Features Configuring PIM Message Intervals Router query messages are used to elect the PIM DR. The PIM DR is responsible for sending router query messages. By default, router query messages are sent every 30 seconds. You can change this value by entering the following command: hostname(config-if)# pim hello-interval seconds Valid values for the seconds argument range from 1 to 3600 seconds. Every 60 seconds, the security appliance sends PIM join/prune messages. To change this value, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# pim join-prune-interval seconds Valid values for the seconds argument range from 10 to 600 seconds. Configuring a Multicast Boundary Address scoping defines domain boundaries so that domains with RPs that have the same IP address do not leak into each other. Scoping is performed on the subnet boundaries within large domains and on the boundaries between the domain and the Internet. You can set up an administratively scoped boundary on an interface for multicast group addresses using the multicast boundary command. IANA has designated the multicast address range 239.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 as the administratively scoped addresses. This range of addresses can be reused in domains administered by different organizations. They would be considered local, not globally unique. To configure a multicast boundary, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# multicast boundary acl [filter-autorp] A standard ACL defines the range of addresses affected. When a boundary is set up, no multicast data packets are allowed to flow across the boundary from either direction. The boundary allows the same multicast group address to be reused in different administrative domains. You can configure the filter-autorp keyword to examine and filter Auto-RP discovery and announcement messages at the administratively scoped boundary. Any Auto-RP group range announcements from the Auto-RP packets that are denied by the boundary access control list (ACL) are removed. An Auto-RP group range announcement is permitted and passed by the boundary only if all addresses in the Auto-RP group range are permitted by the boundary ACL. If any address is not permitted, the entire group range is filtered and removed from the Auto-RP message before the Auto-RP message is forwarded. Filtering PIM Neighbors You can define the routers that can become PIM neighbors with the pim neighbor-filter command. By filtering the routers that can become PIM neighbors, you can: • Prevent unauthorized routers from becoming PIM neighbors. • Prevent attached stub routers from participating in PIM. To define the neighbors that can become a PIM neighbor, perform the following steps: 11-21 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 11 Configuring Multicast Routing Configuring PIM Features Step 1 Use the access-list command to define a standard access list defines the routers you want to participate in PIM. For example the following access list, when used with the pim neighbor-filter command, prevents the 10.1.1.1 router from becoming a PIM neighbor: hostname(config)# access-list pim_nbr deny 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.255 Step 2 Use the pim neighbor-filter command on an interface to filter the neighbor routers. For example, the following commands prevent the 10.1.1.1 router from becoming a PIM neighbor on interface GigabitEthernet0/3: hostname(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/3 hostname(config-if)# pim neighbor-filter pim_nbr Supporting Mixed Bidirectional/Sparse-Mode PIM Networks Bidirectional PIM allows multicast routers to keep reduced state information. All of the multicast routers in a segment must be bidirectionally enabled in order for bidir to elect a DF. The pim bidir-neighbor-filter command enables the transition from a sparse-mode-only network to a bidir network by letting you specify the routers that should participate in DF election while still allowing all routers to participate in the sparse-mode domain. The bidir-enabled routers can elect a DF from among themselves, even when there are non-bidir routers on the segment. Multicast boundaries on the non-bidir routers prevent PIM messages and data from the bidir groups from leaking in or out of the bidir subset cloud. When the pim bidir-neighbor-filter command is enabled, the routers that are permitted by the ACL are considered to be bidir-capable. Therefore: • If a permitted neighbor does not support bidir, the DF election does not occur. • If a denied neighbor supports bidir, then DF election does not occur. • If a denied neighbor des not support bidir, the DF election occurs. To control which neighbors can participate in the DF election, perform the following steps: Step 1 Use the access-list command to define a standard access list that permits the routers you want to participate in the DF election and denies all others. For example, the following access list permits the routers at 10.1.1.1 and 10.2.2.2 to participate in the DF election and denies all others: hostname(config)# access-list pim_bidir permit 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.255 hostname(config)# access-list pim_bidir permit 10.1.1.2 255.255.255.255 hostname(config)# access-list pim_bidir deny any Step 2 Enable the pim bidir-neighbor-filter command on an interface. The following example applies the access list created previous step to the interface GigabitEthernet0/3. hostname(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/3 hostname(config-if)# pim bidir-neighbor-filter pim_bidir 11-22 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 11 Configuring Multicast Routing For More Information about Multicast Routing For More Information about Multicast Routing The following RFCs from the IETF provide technical details about the IGMP and multicast routing standards used for implementing the SMR feature: • RFC 2236 IGMPv2 • RFC 2362 PIM-SM • RFC 2588 IP Multicast and Firewalls • RFC 2113 IP Router Alert Option • IETF draft-ietf-idmr-igmp-proxy-01.txt CH A P T E R 12-1 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 12 Configuring IPv6 This chapter describes how to enable and configure IPv6 on the security appliance.

The ipv6 address command does not support setting standby addresses for failover configurations. The failover interface ip command does not support using IPv6 addresses on the failover and Stateful Failover interfaces. When entering IPv6 addresses in commands that support them, simply enter the IPv6 address using standard IPv6 notation, for example ping fe80::2e0:b6ff:fe01:3b7a. The security appliance correctly recognizes and processes the IPv6 address. However, you must enclose the IPv6 address in square brackets ([ ]) in the following situations: • You need to specify a port number with the address, for example [fe80::2e0:b6ff:fe01:3b7a]:8080. • The command uses a colon as a separator, such as the write net and config net commands, for example configure net [fe80::2e0:b6ff:fe01:3b7a]:/tftp/config/pixconfig. The following commands were modified to work for IPv6: • debug • fragment • ip verify • mtu • icmp (entered as ipv6 icmp) The following inspection engines support IPv6: • FTP • HTTP • ICMP • SMTP • TCP • UDP Configuring IPv6 This section contains the following topics: • Configuring IPv6 on an Interface, page 12-3 • Configuring a Dual IP Stack on an Interface, page 12-4 • Enforcing the Use of Modified EUI-64 Interface IDs in IPv6 Addresses, page 12-4 • Configuring IPv6 Duplicate Address Detection, page 12-4 • Configuring IPv6 Default and Static Routes, page 12-5 • Configuring IPv6 Access Lists, page 12-6 • Configuring IPv6 Neighbor Discovery, page 12-7 • Configuring a Static IPv6 Neighbor, page 12-11 12-3 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 12 Configuring IPv6 Configuring IPv6 Configuring IPv6 on an Interface At a minimum, each interface needs to be configured with an IPv6 link-local address. Additionally, you can add a site-local and global address to the interface. Note The security appliance does not support IPv6 anycast addresses. You can configure both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses on an interface. To configure IPv6 on an interface, perform the following steps: Step 1 Enter interface configuration mode for the interface on which you are configuring the IPv6 addresses: hostname(config)# interface if Step 2 Configure an IPv6 address on the interface. You can assign several IPv6 addresses to an interface, such as an IPv6 link-local, site-local, and global address. However, at a minimum, you must configure a link-local address. There are several methods for configuring IPv6 addresses. Pick the method that suits your needs from the following: • The simplest method is to enable stateless autoconfiguration on the interface. Enabling stateless autoconfiguration on the interface configures IPv6 addresses based on prefixes received in Router Advertisement messages. A link-local address, based on the Modified EUI-64 interface ID, is automatically generated for the interface when stateless autoconfiguration is enabled. To enable stateless autoconfiguration, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# ipv6 address autoconfig • If you only need to configure a link-local address on the interface and are not going to assign any other IPv6 addresses to the interface, you have the option of manually defining the link-local address or generating one based on the interface MAC address (Modified EUI-64 format): – Enter the following command to manually specify the link-local address: hostname(config-if)# ipv6 address ipv6-address link-local – Enter the following command to enable IPv6 on the interface and automatically generate the link-local address using the Modified EUI-64 interface ID based on the interface MAC address: hostname(config-if)# ipv6 enable Note You do not need to use the ipv6 enable command if you enter any other ipv6 address commands on an interface; IPv6 support is automatically enabled as soon as you assign an IPv6 address to the interface. • Assign a site-local or global address to the interface. When you assign a site-local or global address, a link-local address is automatically created. Enter the following command to add a global or site-local address to the interface. Use the optional eui-64 keyword to use the Modified EUI-64 interface ID in the low order 64 bits of the address. hostname(config-if)# ipv6 address ipv6-address [eui-64] 12-4 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 12 Configuring IPv6 Configuring IPv6 Step 3 (Optional) Suppress Router Advertisement messages on an interface. By default, Router Advertisement messages are automatically sent in response to router solicitation messages. You may want to disable these messages on any interface for which you do not want the security appliance to supply the IPv6 prefix (for example, the outside interface). Enter the following command to suppress Router Advertisement messages on an interface: hostname(config-if)# ipv6 nd suppress-ra Configuring a Dual IP Stack on an Interface The security appliance supports the configuration of both IPv6 and IPv4 on an interface. You do not need to enter any special commands to do so; simply enter the IPv4 configuration commands and IPv6 configuration commands as you normally would. Make sure you configure a default route for both IPv4 and IPv6. Enforcing the Use of Modified EUI-64 Interface IDs in IPv6 Addresses RFC 3513: Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Addressing Architecture requires that the interface identifier portion of all unicast IPv6 addresses, except those that start with binary value 000, be 64 bits long and be constructed in Modified EUI-64 format. The security appliance can enforce this requirement for hosts attached to the local link. To enforce the use of Modified EUI-64 format interface identifiers in IPv6 addresses on a local link, enter the following command: hostname(config)# ipv6 enforce-eui64 if_name The if_name argument is the name of the interface, as specified by the namif command, on which you are enabling the address format enforcement. When this command is enabled on an interface, the source addresses of IPv6 packets received on that interface are verified against the source MAC addresses to ensure that the interface identifiers use the Modified EUI-64 format. If the IPv6 packets do not use the Modified EUI-64 format for the interface identifier, the packets are dropped and the following system log message is generated: %PIX|ASA-3-325003: EUI-64 source address check failed. The address format verification is only performed when a flow is created. Packets from an existing flow are not checked. Additionally, the address verification can only be performed for hosts on the local link. Packets received from hosts behind a router will fail the address format verification, and be dropped, because their source MAC address will be the router MAC address and not the host MAC address. Configuring IPv6 Duplicate Address Detection During the stateless autoconfiguration process, duplicate address detection verifies the uniqueness of new unicast IPv6 addresses before the addresses are assigned to interfaces (the new addresses remain in a tentative state while duplicate address detection is performed). Duplicate address detection is performed first on the new link-local address. When the link local address is verified as unique, then duplicate address detection is performed all the other IPv6 unicast addresses on the interface. 12-5 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 12 Configuring IPv6 Configuring IPv6 Duplicate address detection is suspended on interfaces that are administratively down. While an interface is administratively down, the unicast IPv6 addresses assigned to the interface are set to a pending state. An interface returning to an administratively up state restarts duplicate address detection for all of the unicast IPv6 addresses on the interface. When a duplicate address is identified, the state of the address is set to DUPLICATE, the address is not used, and the following error message is generated: %PIX|ASA-4-325002: Duplicate address ipv6_address/MAC_address on interface If the duplicate address is the link-local address of the interface, the processing of IPv6 packets is disabled on the interface. If the duplicate address is a global address, the address is not used. However, all configuration commands associated with the duplicate address remain as configured while the state of the address is set to DUPLICATE. If the link-local address for an interface changes, duplicate address detection is performed on the new link-local address and all of the other IPv6 address associated with the interface are regenerated (duplicate address detection is performed only on the new link-local address). The security appliance uses neighbor solicitation messages to perform duplicate address detection. By default, the number of times an interface performs duplicate address detection is 1. To change the number of duplicate address detection attempts, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# ipv6 nd dad attempts value The value argument can be any value from 0 to 600. Setting the value argument to 0 disables duplicate address detection on the interface. When you configure an interface to send out more than one duplicate address detection attempt, you can also use the ipv6 nd ns-interval command to configure the interval at which the neighbor solicitation messages are sent out. By default, they are sent out once every 1000 milliseconds. To change the neighbor solicitation message interval, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# ipv6 nd ns-interval value The value argument can be from 1000 to 3600000 milliseconds. Note Changing this value changes it for all neighbor solicitation messages sent out on the interface, not just those used for duplicate address detection. Configuring IPv6 Default and Static Routes The security appliance automatically routes IPv6 traffic between directly connected hosts if the interfaces to which the hosts are attached are enabled for IPv6 and the IPv6 ACLs allow the traffic. The security appliance does not support dynamic routing protocols. Therefore, to route IPv6 traffic to a non-connected host or network, you need to define a static route to the host or network or, at a minimum, a default route. Without a static or default route defined, traffic to non-connected hosts or networks generate the following error message: %PIX|ASA-6-110001: No route to dest_address from source_address You can add a default route and static routes using the ipv6 route command. To configure an IPv6 default route and static routes, perform the following steps: 12-6 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 12 Configuring IPv6 Configuring IPv6 Step 1 To add the default route, use the following command: hostname(config)# ipv6 route if_name ::/0 next_hop_ipv6_addr The address ::/0 is the IPv6 equivalent of “any.” Step 2 (Optional) Define IPv6 static routes. Use the following command to add an IPv6 static route to the IPv6 routing table: hostname(config)# ipv6 route if_name destination next_hop_ipv6_addr [admin_distance] Note The ipv6 route command works like the route command used to define IPv4 static routes. Configuring IPv6 Access Lists Configuring an IPv6 access list is similar configuring an IPv4 access, but with IPv6 addresses. To configure an IPv6 access list, perform the following steps: Step 1 Create an access entry. To create an access list, use the ipv6 access-list command to create entries for the access list. There are two main forms of this command to choose from, one for creating access list entries specifically for ICMP traffic, and one to create access list entries for all other types of IP traffic. • To create an IPv6 access list entry specifically for ICMP traffic, enter the following command: hostname(config)# ipv6 access-list id [line num] {permit | deny} icmp source destination [icmp_type] • To create an IPv6 access list entry, enter the following command: hostname(config)# ipv6 access-list id [line num] {permit | deny} protocol source [src_port] destination [dst_port] The following describes the arguments for the ipv6 access-list command: • id—The name of the access list. Use the same id in each command when you are entering multiple entries for an access list. • line num—When adding an entry to an access list, you can specify the line number in the list where the entry should appear. • permit | deny—Determines whether the specified traffic is blocked or allowed to pass. • icmp—Indicates that the access list entry applies to ICMP traffic. • protocol—Specifies the traffic being controlled by the access list entry. This can be the name (ip, tcp, or udp) or number (1-254) of an IP protocol. Alternatively, you can specify a protocol object group using object-group grp_id. • source and destination—Specifies the source or destination of the traffic. The source or destination can be an IPv6 prefix, in the format prefix/length, to indicate a range of addresses, the keyword any, to specify any address, or a specific host designated by host host_ipv6_addr. 12-7 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 12 Configuring IPv6 Configuring IPv6 • src_port and dst_port—The source and destination port (or service) argument. Enter an operator (lt for less than, gt for greater than, eq for equal to, neq for not equal to, or range for an inclusive range) followed by a space and a port number (or two port numbers separated by a space for the range keyword). • icmp_type—Specifies the ICMP message type being filtered by the access rule. The value can be a valid ICMP type number (from 0 to 155) or one of the ICMP type literals as shown in Appendix D, “Addresses, Protocols, and Ports”. Alternatively, you can specify an ICMP object group using object-group id. Step 2 To apply the access list to an interface, enter the following command: hostname(config)# access-group access_list_name {in | out} interface if_name Configuring IPv6 Neighbor Discovery The IPv6 neighbor discovery process uses ICMPv6 messages and solicited-node multicast addresses to determine the link-layer address of a neighbor on the same network (local link), verify the reachability of a neighbor, and keep track of neighboring routers. This section contains the following topics: • Configuring Neighbor Solicitation Messages, page 12-7 • Configuring Router Advertisement Messages, page 12-9 • Multicast Listener Discovery Support, page 12-11 Configuring Neighbor Solicitation Messages Neighbor solicitation messages (ICMPv6 Type 135) are sent on the local link by nodes attempting to discover the link-layer addresses of other nodes on the local link. The neighbor solicitation message is sent to the solicited-node multicast address.The source address in the neighbor solicitation message is the IPv6 address of the node sending the neighbor solicitation message. The neighbor solicitation message also includes the link-layer address of the source node. After receiving a neighbor solicitation message, the destination node replies by sending a neighbor advertisement message (ICPMv6 Type 136) on the local link. The source address in the neighbor advertisement message is the IPv6 address of the node sending the neighbor advertisement message; the destination address is the IPv6 address of the node that sent the neighbor solicitation message. The data portion of the neighbor advertisement message includes the link-layer address of the node sending the neighbor advertisement message. After the source node receives the neighbor advertisement, the source node and destination node can communicate. Figure 12-1 shows the neighbor solicitation and response process. 12-8 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 12 Configuring IPv6 Configuring IPv6 Figure 12-1 IPv6 Neighbor Discovery—Neighbor Solicitation Message Neighbor solicitation messages are also used to verify the reachability of a neighbor after the link-layer address of a neighbor is identified. When a node wants to verifying the reachability of a neighbor, the destination address in a neighbor solicitation message is the unicast address of the neighbor. Neighbor advertisement messages are also sent when there is a change in the link-layer address of a node on a local link. When there is such a change, the destination address for the neighbor advertisement is the all-nodes multicast address. You can configure the neighbor solicitation message interval and neighbor reachable time on a per-interface basis. See the following topics for more information: • Configuring the Neighbor Solicitation Message Interval, page 12-8 • Configuring the Neighbor Reachable Time, page 12-8 Configuring the Neighbor Solicitation Message Interval To configure the interval between IPv6 neighbor solicitation retransmissions on an interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# ipv6 nd ns-interval value Valid values for the value argument range from 1000 to 3600000 milliseconds. The default value is 1000 milliseconds. This setting is also sent in router advertisement messages. Configuring the Neighbor Reachable Time The neighbor reachable time enables detecting unavailable neighbors. Shorter configured times enable detecting unavailable neighbors more quickly; however, shorter times consume more IPv6 network bandwidth and processing resources in all IPv6 network devices. Very short configured times are not recommended in normal IPv6 operation. To configure the amount of time that a remote IPv6 node is considered reachable after a reachability confirmation event has occurred, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# ipv6 nd reachable-time value 132958 A and B can now exchange packets on this link ICMPv6 Type = 135 Src = A Dst = solicited-node multicast of B Data = link-layer address of A Query = what is your link address? ICMPv6 Type = 136 Src = B Dst = A Data = link-layer address of B 12-9 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 12 Configuring IPv6 Configuring IPv6 Valid values for the value argument range from 0 to 3600000 milliseconds. The default is 0. This information is also sent in router advertisement messages. When 0 is used for the value, the reachable time is sent as undetermined. It is up to the receiving devices to set and track the reachable time value. To see the time used by the security appliance when this value is set to 0, use the show ipv6 interface command to display information about the IPv6 interface, including the ND reachable time being used. Configuring Router Advertisement Messages Router advertisement messages (ICMPv6 Type 134) are periodically sent out each IPv6 configured interface of security appliance. The router advertisement messages are sent to the all-nodes multicast address. Figure 12-2 IPv6 Neighbor Discovery—Router Advertisement Message Router advertisement messages typically include the following information: • One or more IPv6 prefix that nodes on the local link can use to automatically configure their IPv6 addresses. • Lifetime information for each prefix included in the advertisement. • Sets of flags that indicate the type of autoconfiguration (stateless or stateful) that can be completed. • Default router information (whether the router sending the advertisement should be used as a default router and, if so, the amount of time (in seconds) the router should be used as a default router). • Additional information for hosts, such as the hop limit and MTU a host should use in packets that it originates. • The amount of time between neighbor solicitation message retransmissions on a given link. • The amount of time a node considers a neighbor reachable. Router advertisements are also sent in response to router solicitation messages (ICMPv6 Type 133). Router solicitation messages are sent by hosts at system startup so that the host can immediately autoconfigure without needing to wait for the next scheduled router advertisement message. Because router solicitation messages are usually sent by hosts at system startup, and the host does not have a configured unicast address, the source address in router solicitation messages is usually the unspecified IPv6 address (0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0). If the host has a configured unicast address, the unicast address of the interface sending the router solicitation message is used as the source address in the message. The destination address in router solicitation messages is the all-routers multicast address with a scope of the link. When a router advertisement is sent in response to a router solicitation, the destination address in the router advertisement message is the unicast address of the source of the router solicitation message. 132917 Router advertisement packet definitions: ICMPv6 Type = 134 Src = router link-local address Dst = all-nodes multicast address Data = options, prefix, lifetime, autoconfig flag Router advertisement Router advertisement 12-10 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 12 Configuring IPv6 Configuring IPv6 You can configure the following settings for router advertisement messages: • The time interval between periodic router advertisement messages. • The router lifetime value, which indicates the amount of time IPv6 nodes should consider security appliance to be the default router. • The IPv6 network prefixes in use on the link. • Whether or not an interface transmits router advertisement messages. Unless otherwise noted, the router advertisement message settings are specific to an interface and are entered in interface configuration mode. See the following topics for information about changing these settings: • Configuring the Router Advertisement Transmission Interval, page 12-10 • Configuring the Router Lifetime Value, page 12-10 • Configuring the IPv6 Prefix, page 12-10 • Suppressing Router Advertisement Messages, page 12-11 Configuring the Router Advertisement Transmission Interval By default, router advertisements are sent out every 200 seconds. To change the interval between router advertisement transmissions on an interface, enter the following command: ipv6 nd ra-interval [msec] value Valid values range from 3 to 1800 seconds (or 500 to 1800000 milliseconds if the msec keyword is used). The interval between transmissions should be less than or equal to the IPv6 router advertisement lifetime if security appliance is configured as a default router by using the ipv6 nd ra-lifetime command. To prevent synchronization with other IPv6 nodes, randomly adjust the actual value used to within 20 percent of the desired value. Configuring the Router Lifetime Value The router lifetime value specifies how long nodes on the local link should consider security appliance as the default router on the link. To configure the router lifetime value in IPv6 router advertisements on an interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# ipv6 nd ra-lifetime seconds Valid values range from 0 to 9000 seconds. The default is 1800 seconds. Entering 0 indicates that security appliance should not be considered a default router on the selected interface. Configuring the IPv6 Prefix Stateless autoconfiguration uses IPv6 prefixes provided in router advertisement messages to create the global unicast address from the link-local address. To configure which IPv6 prefixes are included in IPv6 router advertisements, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# ipv6 nd prefix ipv6-prefix/prefix-length Note For stateless autoconfiguration to work properly, the advertised prefix length in router advertisement messages must always be 64 bits. 12-11 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 12 Configuring IPv6 Verifying the IPv6 Configuration Suppressing Router Advertisement Messages By default, Router Advertisement messages are automatically sent in response to router solicitation messages. You may want to disable these messages on any interface for which you do not want security appliance to supply the IPv6 prefix (for example, the outside interface). To suppress IPv6 router advertisement transmissions on an interface, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# ipv6 nd suppress-ra Entering this command causes the security appliance to appear as a regular IPv6 neighbor on the link and not as an IPv6 router. Multicast Listener Discovery Support Multicast Listener Discovery Protocol (MLD) Version 2 is supported to discover the presence of multicast address listeners on their directly attached links, and to discover specifically which multicast addresses are of interest to those neighboring nodes. ASA becomes a multicast address listener, or a host, but not a multicast router, and responds to Multicast Listener Queries and sends Multicast Listener Reports only. The following commands were added or enhanced to support MLD: • clear ipv6 mld traffic Command • show ipv6 mld Command Configuring a Static IPv6 Neighbor You can manually define a neighbor in the IPv6 neighbor cache. If an entry for the specified IPv6 address already exists in the neighbor discovery cache—learned through the IPv6 neighbor discovery process—the entry is automatically converted to a static entry. Static entries in the IPv6 neighbor discovery cache are not modified by the neighbor discovery process. To configure a static entry in the IPv6 neighbor discovery cache, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# ipv6 neighbor ipv6_address if_name mac_address The ipv6_address argument is the link-local IPv6 address of the neighbor, the if_name argument is the interface through which the neighbor is available, and the mac_address argument is the MAC address of the neighbor interface. Note The clear ipv6 neighbors command does not remove static entries from the IPv6 neighbor discovery cache; it only clears the dynamic entries. Verifying the IPv6 Configuration This section describes how to verify your IPv6 configuration. You can use various clear, and show commands to verify your IPv6 settings. This section includes the following topics: • The show ipv6 interface Command, page 12-12 12-12 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 12 Configuring IPv6 Verifying the IPv6 Configuration • The show ipv6 route Command, page 12-12 • The show ipv6 mld traffic Command, page 12-13 The show ipv6 interface Command To display the IPv6 interface settings, enter the following command: hostname# show ipv6 interface [if_name] Including the interface name, such as “outside”, displays the settings for the specified interface. Excluding the name from the command displays the setting for all interfaces that have IPv6 enabled on them. The output for the command shows the following: • The name and status of the interface. • The link-local and global unicast addresses. • The multicast groups the interface belongs to. • ICMP redirect and error message settings. • Neighbor discovery settings. The following is sample output from the show ipv6 interface command: hostname# show ipv6 interface ipv6interface is down, line protocol is down IPv6 is enabled, link-local address is fe80::20d:88ff:feee:6a82 [TENTATIVE] No global unicast address is configured Joined group address(es): ff02::1 ff02::1:ffee:6a82 ICMP error messages limited to one every 100 milliseconds ICMP redirects are enabled ND DAD is enabled, number of DAD attempts: 1 ND reachable time is 30000 milliseconds Note The show interface command only displays the IPv4 settings for an interface. To see the IPv6 configuration on an interface, you need to use the show ipv6 interface command. The show ipv6 interface command does not display any IPv4 settings for the interface (if both types of addresses are configured on the interface). The show ipv6 route Command To display the routes in the IPv6 routing table, enter the following command: hostname# show ipv6 route The output from the show ipv6 route command is similar to the IPv4 show route command.

This chapter contains the following sections: • AAA Overview, page 13-1 • AAA Server and Local Database Support, page 13-2 • Configuring the Local Database, page 13-10 • Identifying AAA Server Groups and Servers, page 13-12 • Using Certificates and User Login Credentials, page 13-15 • Supporting a Zone Labs Integrity Server, page 13-16 AAA Overview AAA enables the security appliance to determine who the user is (authentication), what the user can do (authorization), and what the user did (accounting). AAA provides an extra level of protection and control for user access than using access lists alone. For example, you can create an access list allowing all outside users to access Telnet on a server on the DMZ network. If you want only some users to access the server and you might not always know IP addresses of these users, you can enable AAA to allow only authenticated and/or authorized users to make it through the security appliance. (The Telnet server enforces authentication, too; the security appliance prevents unauthorized users from attempting to access the server.) You can use authentication alone or with authorization and accounting. Authorization always requires a user to be authenticated first. You can use accounting alone, or with authentication and authorization. This section includes the following topics: • About Authentication, page 13-1 • About Authorization, page 13-2 • About Accounting, page 13-2 About Authentication Authentication controls access by requiring valid user credentials, which are typically a username and password. You can configure the security appliance to authenticate the following items: 13-2 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 13 Configuring AAA Servers and the Local Database AAA Server and Local Database Support • All administrative connections to the security appliance including the following sessions: – Telnet – SSH – Serial console – ASDM (using HTTPS) – VPN management access • The enable command • Network access • VPN access About Authorization Authorization controls access per user after users authenticate. You can configure the security appliance to authorize the following items: • Management commands • Network access • VPN access Authorization controls the services and commands available to each authenticated user. Were you not to enable authorization, authentication alone would provide the same access to services for all authenticated users. If you need the control that authorization provides, you can configure a broad authentication rule, and then have a detailed authorization configuration. For example, you authenticate inside users who attempt to access any server on the outside network and then limit the outside servers that a particular user can access using authorization. The security appliance caches the first 16 authorization requests per user, so if the user accesses the same services during the current authentication session, the security appliance does not resend the request to the authorization server. About Accounting Accounting tracks traffic that passes through the security appliance, enabling you to have a record of user activity. If you enable authentication for that traffic, you can account for traffic per user. If you do not authenticate the traffic, you can account for traffic per IP address. Accounting information includes when sessions start and stop, username, the number of bytes that pass through the security appliance for the session, the service used, and the duration of each session. AAA Server and Local Database Support The security appliance supports a variety of AAA server types and a local database that is stored on the security appliance. This section describes support for each AAA server type and the local database. This section contains the following topics: • Summary of Support, page 13-3 13-3 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 13 Configuring AAA Servers and the Local Database AAA Server and Local Database Support • RADIUS Server Support, page 13-3 • TACACS+ Server Support, page 13-4 • SDI Server Support, page 13-4 • NT Server Support, page 13-5 • Kerberos Server Support, page 13-5 • LDAP Server Support, page 13-6 • SSO Support for WebVPN with HTTP Forms, page 13-9 • Local Database Support, page 13-9 Summary of Support Table 13-1 summarizes the support for each AAA service by each AAA server type, including the local database.

Attribute Support The security appliance supports the following sets of RADIUS attributes: • Authentication attributes defined in RFC 2138. • Accounting attributes defined in RFC 2139. • RADIUS attributes for tunneled protocol support, defined in RFC 2868. • Cisco IOS VSAs, identified by RADIUS vendor ID 9. • Cisco VPN-related VSAs, identified by RADIUS vendor ID 3076. • Microsoft VSAs, defined in RFC 2548. RADIUS Authorization Functions The security appliance can use RADIUS servers for user authorization for network access using dynamic access lists or access list names per user. To implement dynamic access lists, you must configure the RADIUS server to support it. When the user authenticates, the RADIUS server sends a downloadable access list or access list name to the security appliance. Access to a given service is either permitted or denied by the access list. The security appliance deletes the access list when the authentication session expires. TACACS+ Server Support The security appliance supports TACACS+ authentication with ASCII, PAP, CHAP, and MS-CHAPv1. SDI Server Support The RSA SecureID servers are also known as SDI servers. This section contains the following topics: • SDI Version Support, page 13-5 13-5 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 13 Configuring AAA Servers and the Local Database AAA Server and Local Database Support • Two-step Authentication Process, page 13-5 • SDI Primary and Replica Servers, page 13-5 SDI Version Support The security appliance supports SDI Version 5.0 and 6.0. SDI uses the concepts of an SDI primary and SDI replica servers. Each primary and its replicas share a single node secret file. The node secret file has its name based on the hexadecimal value of the ACE/Server IP address with .sdi appended. A version 5.0 or 6.0 SDI server that you configure on the security appliance can be either the primary or any one of the replicas. See the “SDI Primary and Replica Servers” section on page 13-5 for information about how the SDI agent selects servers to authenticate users. Two-step Authentication Process SDI version 5.0 and 6.0 uses a two-step process to prevent an intruder from capturing information from an RSA SecurID authentication request and using it to authenticate to another server. The Agent first sends a lock request to the SecurID server before sending the user authentication request. The server locks the username, preventing another (replica) server from accepting it. This means that the same user cannot authenticate to two security appliances using the same authentication servers simultaneously. After a successful username lock, the security appliance sends the passcode. SDI Primary and Replica Servers The security appliance obtains the server list when the first user authenticates to the configured server, which can be either a primary or a replica. The security appliance then assigns priorities to each of the servers on the list, and subsequent server selection derives at random from those assigned priorities. The highest priority servers have a higher likelihood of being selected. NT Server Support The security appliance supports Microsoft Windows server operating systems that support NTLM version 1, collectively referred to as NT servers. Note NT servers have a maximum length of 14 characters for user passwords. Longer passwords are truncated. This is a limitation of NTLM version 1. Kerberos Server Support The security appliance supports 3DES, DES, and RC4 encryption types. Note The security appliance does not support changing user passwords during tunnel negotiation. To avoid this situation happening inadvertently, disable password expiration on the Kerberos/Active Directory server for users connecting to the security appliance. For a simple Kerberos server configuration example, see Example 13-2. 13-6 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 13 Configuring AAA Servers and the Local Database AAA Server and Local Database Support LDAP Server Support This section describes using an LDAP directory with the security appliance for user authentication and VPN authorization. This section includes the following topics: • Authentication with LDAP, page 13-6 • Authorization with LDAP for VPN, page 13-7 • LDAP Attribute Mapping, page 13-8 For example configuration procedures used to set up LDAP authentication or authorization, see Appendix E, “Configuring an External Server for Authorization and Authentication”. Authentication with LDAP During authentication, the security appliance acts as a client proxy to the LDAP server for the user, and authenticates to the LDAP server in either plain text or using the Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) protocol. By default, the security appliance passes authentication parameters, usually a username and password, to the LDAP server in plain text. Whether using SASL or plain text, you can secure the communications between the security appliance and the LDAP server with SSL using the ldap-over-ssl command. Note If you do not configure SASL, we strongly recommend that you secure LDAP communications with SSL. See the ldap-over-ssl command in the Cisco Security Appliance Command Reference. When user LDAP authentication has succeeded, the LDAP server returns the attributes for the authenticated user. For VPN authentication, these attributes generally include authorization data which is applied to the VPN session. Thus, using LDAP accomplishes authentication and authorization in a single step. Securing LDAP Authentication with SASL The security appliance supports the following SASL mechanisms, listed in order of increasing strength: • Digest-MD5 — The security appliance responds to the LDAP server with an MD5 value computed from the username and password. • Kerberos — The security appliance responds to the LDAP server by sending the username and realm using the GSSAPI (Generic Security Services Application Programming Interface) Kerberos mechanism. You can configure the security appliance and LDAP server to support any combination of these SASL mechanisms. If you configure multiple mechanisms, the security appliance retrieves the list of SASL mechanisms configured on the server and sets the authentication mechanism to the strongest mechanism configured on both the security appliance and the server. For example, if both the LDAP server and the security appliance support both mechanisms, the security appliance selects Kerberos, the stronger of the mechanisms. The following example configures the security appliance for authentication to an LDAP directory server named ldap_dir_1 using the digest-MD5 SASL mechanism, and communicating over an SSL-secured connection: hostname(config)# aaa-server ldap_dir_1 protocol ldap hostname(config-aaa-server-group)# aaa-server ldap_dir_1 host 10.1.1.4 hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# sasl-mechanism digest-md5 hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# ldap-over-ssl enable 13-7 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 13 Configuring AAA Servers and the Local Database AAA Server and Local Database Support hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# Setting the LDAP Server Type The security appliance supports LDAP Version 3. In the current release, it is compatible only with the Sun Microsystems JAVA System Directory Server (formerly named the Sun ONE Directory Server) and the Microsoft Active Directory. In later releases, the security appliance will support other OpenLDAP servers. By default, the security appliance auto-detects whether it is connected to a Microsoft or a Sun LDAP directory server. However, if auto-detection fails to determine the LDAP server type, and you know the server is either a Microsoft or Sun server, you can manually configure the server type. The following example sets the LDAP directory server ldap_dir_1 to the Sun Microsystems type: hostname(config)# aaa-server ldap_dir_1 protocol ldap hostname(config-aaa-server-group)# aaa-server ldap_dir_1 host 10.1.1.4 hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# server-type sun hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# Note • Sun—The DN configured on the security appliance to access a Sun directory server must be able to access the default password policy on that server. We recommend using the directory administrator, or a user with directory administrator privileges, as the DN. Alternatively, you can place an ACI on the default password policy. • Microsoft—You must configure LDAP over SSL to enable password management with Microsoft Active Directory. Authorization with LDAP for VPN When user LDAP authentication for VPN access has succeeded, the security appliance queries the LDAP server which returns LDAP attributes. These attributes generally include authorization data that applies to the VPN session. Thus, using LDAP accomplishes authentication and authorization in a single step. There may be cases, however, where you require authorization from an LDAP directory server that is separate and distinct from the authentication mechanism. For example, if you use an SDI or certificate server for authentication, no authorization information is passed back. For user authorizations in this case, you can query an LDAP directory after successful authentication, accomplishing authentication and authorization in two steps. To set up VPN user authorization using LDAP, you must first create a AAA server group and a tunnel group. You then associate the server and tunnel groups using the tunnel-group general-attributes command. While there are other authorization-related commands and options available for specific requirements, the following example shows fundamental commands for enabling user authorization with LDAP. This example then creates an IPSec remote access tunnel group named remote-1, and assigns that new tunnel group to the previously created ldap_dir_1 AAA server for authorization. hostname(config)# tunnel-group remote-1 type ipsec-ra hostname(config)# tunnel-group remote-1 general-attributes hostname(config-general)# authorization-server-group ldap_dir_1 hostname(config-general)# 13-8 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 13 Configuring AAA Servers and the Local Database AAA Server and Local Database Support After you complete this fundamental configuration work, you can configure additional LDAP authorization parameters such as a directory password, a starting point for searching a directory, and the scope of a directory search: hostname(config)# aaa-server ldap_dir_1 protocol ldap hostname(config-aaa-server-group)# aaa-server ldap_dir_1 host 10.1.1.4 hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# ldap-login-dn obscurepassword hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# ldap-base-dn starthere hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# ldap-scope subtree hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# See LDAP commands in the Cisco Security Appliance Command Reference for more information. LDAP Attribute Mapping If you are introducing a security appliance to an existing LDAP directory, your existing LDAP attribute names and values are probably different from the existing ones. You must create LDAP attribute maps that map your existing user-defined attribute names and values to Cisco attribute names and values that are compatible with the security appliance. You can then bind these attribute maps to LDAP servers or remove them as needed. You can also show or clear attribute maps. Note To use the attribute mapping features correctly, you need to understand the Cisco LDAP attribute names and values as well as the user-defined attribute names and values. The following command, entered in global configuration mode, creates an unpopulated LDAP attribute map table named att_map_1: hostname(config)# ldap attribute-map att_map_1 hostname(config-ldap-attribute-map)# The following commands map the user-defined attribute name department to the Cisco attribute name cVPN3000-IETF-Radius-Class. The second command maps the user-defined attribute value Engineering to the user-defined attribute department and the Cisco-defined attribute value group1. hostname(config)# ldap attribute-map att_map_1 hostname(config-ldap-attribute-map)# map-name department cVPN3000-IETF-Radius-Class hostname(config-ldap-attribute-map)# map-value department Engineering group1 hostname(config-ldap-attribute-map)# The following commands bind the attribute map att_map_1 to the LDAP server ldap_dir_1: hostname(config)# aaa-server ldap_dir_1 host 10.1.1.4 hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# ldap-attribute-map att_map_1 hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# Note The command to create an attribute map (ldap attribute-map) and the command to bind it to an LDAP server (ldap-attribute-map) differ only by a hyphen and the mode. The following commands display or clear all LDAP attribute maps in the running configuration: hostname# show running-config all ldap attribute-map hostname(config)# clear configuration ldap attribute-map hostname(config)# The names of frequently mapped Cisco LDAP attributes and the type of user-defined attributes they would commonly be mapped to include: 13-9 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 13 Configuring AAA Servers and the Local Database AAA Server and Local Database Support cVPN3000-IETF-Radius-Class — Department or user group cVPN3000-IETF-Radius-Filter-Id — Access control list cVPN3000-IETF-Radius-Framed-IP-Address — A static IP address cVPN3000-IPSec-Banner1 — A organization title cVPN3000-Tunneling-Protocols — Allow or deny dial-in For a list of Cisco LDAP attribute names and values, see Appendix E, “Configuring an External Server for Authorization and Authentication”. Alternatively, you can enter “?” within ldap-attribute-map mode to display the complete list of Cisco LDAP attribute names, as shown in the following example: hostname(config)# ldap attribute-map att_map_1 hostname(config-ldap-attribute-map)# map-name att_map_1 ? ldap mode commands/options: cisco-attribute-names: cVPN3000-Access-Hours cVPN3000-Allow-Network-Extension-Mode cVPN3000-Auth-Service-Type cVPN3000-Authenticated-User-Idle-Timeout cVPN3000-Authorization-Required cVPN3000-Authorization-Type : : cVPN3000-X509-Cert-Data hostname(config-ldap-attribute-map)# SSO Support for WebVPN with HTTP Forms The security appliance can use the HTTP Form protocol for single sign-on (SSO) authentication of WebVPN users only. Single sign-on support lets WebVPN users enter a username and password only once to access multiple protected services and Web servers. The WebVPN server running on the security appliance acts as a proxy for the user to the authenticating server. When a user logs in, the WebVPN server sends an SSO authentication request, including username and password, to the authenticating server using HTTPS. If the server approves the authentication request, it returns an SSO authentication cookie to the WebVPN server. The security appliance keeps this cookie on behalf of the user and uses it to authenticate the user to secure websites within the domain protected by the SSO server. In addition to the HTTP Form protocol, WebVPN administrators can choose to configure SSO with the HTTP Basic and NTLM authentication protocols (the auto-signon command), or with Computer Associates eTrust SiteMinder SSO server (formerly Netegrity SiteMinder) as well. For an in-depth discussion of configuring SSO with either HTTP Forms, auto-signon or SiteMinder, see the Configuring WebVPN chapter. Local Database Support The security appliance maintains a local database that you can populate with user profiles. This section contains the following topics: • User Profiles, page 13-10 • Fallback Support, page 13-10 13-10 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 13 Configuring AAA Servers and the Local Database Configuring the Local Database User Profiles User profiles contain, at a minimum, a username. Typically, a password is assigned to each username, although passwords are optional. The username attributes command lets you enter the username mode. In this mode, you can add other information to a specific user profile. The information you can add includes VPN-related attributes, such as a VPN session timeout value. Fallback Support The local database can act as a fallback method for several functions. This behavior is designed to help you prevent accidental lockout from the security appliance. For users who need fallback support, we recommend that their usernames and passwords in the local database match their usernames and passwords in the AAA servers. This provides transparent fallback support. Because the user cannot determine whether a AAA server or the local database is providing the service, using usernames and passwords on AAA servers that are different than the usernames and passwords in the local database means that the user cannot be certain which username and password should be given. The local database supports the following fallback functions: • Console and enable password authentication—When you use the aaa authentication console command, you can add the LOCAL keyword after the AAA server group tag. If the servers in the group all are unavailable, the security appliance uses the local database to authenticate administrative access. This can include enable password authentication, too. • Command authorization—When you use the aaa authorization command command, you can add the LOCAL keyword after the AAA server group tag. If the TACACS+ servers in the group all are unavailable, the local database is used to authorize commands based on privilege levels. • VPN authentication and authorization—VPN authentication and authorization are supported to enable remote access to the security appliance if AAA servers that normally support these VPN services are unavailable. The authentication-server-group command, available in tunnel-group general attributes mode, lets you specify the LOCAL keyword when you are configuring attributes of a tunnel group. When VPN client of an administrator specifies a tunnel group configured to fallback to the local database, the VPN tunnel can be established even if the AAA server group is unavailable, provided that the local database is configured with the necessary attributes. Configuring the Local Database This section describes how to manage users in the local database. You can use the local database for CLI access authentication, privileged mode authentication, command authorization, network access authentication, and VPN authentication and authorization. You cannot use the local database for network access authorization. The local database does not support accounting. For multiple context mode, you can configure usernames in the system execution space to provide individual logins using the login command; however, you cannot configure any aaa commands in the system execution space. Caution If you add to the local database users who can gain access to the CLI but who should not be allowed to enter privileged mode, enable command authorization. (See the “Configuring Local Command Authorization” section on page 40-8.) Without command authorization, users can access privileged 13-11 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 13 Configuring AAA Servers and the Local Database Configuring the Local Database mode (and all commands) at the CLI using their own password if their privilege level is 2 or greater (2 is the default). Alternatively, you can use RADIUS or TACACS+ authentication so that the user cannot use the login command, or you can set all local users to level 1 so you can control who can use the system enable password to access privileged mode. To define a user account in the local database, perform the following steps: Step 1 Create the user account. To do so, enter the following command: hostname(config)# username name {nopassword | password password [mschap]} [privilege priv_level] where the options are as follows: • username—A string from 4 to 64 characters long. • password password—A string from 3 to 16 characters long. • mschap—Specifies that the password will be converted to unicode and hashed using MD4 after you enter it. Use this keyword if users are authenticated using MSCHAPv1 or MSCHAPv2. • privilege level—The privilege level that you want to assign to the new user account (from 0 to 15). The default is 2. This privilege level is used with command authorization. • nopassword—Creates a user account with no password. The encrypted and nt-encrypted keywords are typically for display only. When you define a password in the username command, the security appliance encrypts it when it saves it to the configuration for security purposes. When you enter the show running-config command, the username command does not show the actual password; it shows the encrypted password followed by the encrypted or nt-encrypted keyword (when you specify mschap). For example, if you enter the password “test,” the show running-config display would appear to be something like the following: username pat password DLaUiAX3l78qgoB5c7iVNw== nt-encrypted The only time you would actually enter the encrypted or nt-encrypted keyword at the CLI is if you are cutting and pasting a configuration to another security appliance and you are using the same password. Step 2 To configure a local user account with VPN attributes, follow these steps: a. Enter the following command: hostname(config)# username username attributes When you enter a username attributes command, you enter username mode. The commands available in this mode are as follows: • group-lock • password-storage • vpn-access-hours • vpn-filter • vpn-framed-ip-address • vpn-group-policy • vpn-idle-timeout • vpn-session-timeout • vpn-simultaneous-logins • vpn-tunnel-protocol 13-12 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 13 Configuring AAA Servers and the Local Database Identifying AAA Server Groups and Servers • webvpn Use these commands as needed to configure the user profile. For more information about these commands, see the Cisco Security Appliance Command Reference. b. When you have finished configuring the user profiles, enter exit to return to config mode. For example, the following command assigns a privilege level of 15 to the admin user account: hostname(config)# username admin password passw0rd privilege 15 The following command creates a user account with no password: hostname(config)# username bcham34 nopassword The following commands creates a user account with a password, enters username mode, and specifies a few VPN attributes: hostname(config)# username rwilliams password gOgeOus hostname(config)# username rwilliams attributes hostname(config-username)# vpn-tunnel-protocol IPSec hostname(config-username)# vpn-simultaneous-logins 6 hostname(config-username)# exit Identifying AAA Server Groups and Servers If you want to use an external AAA server for authentication, authorization, or accounting, you must first create at least one AAA server group per AAA protocol and add one or more servers to each group. You identify AAA server groups by name. Each server group is specific to one type of server: Kerberos, LDAP, NT, RADIUS, SDI, or TACACS+. The security appliance contacts the first server in the group. If that server is unavailable, the security appliance contacts the next server in the group, if configured. If all servers in the group are unavailable, the security appliance tries the local database if you configured it as a fallback method (management authentication and authorization only). If you do not have a fallback method, the security appliance continues to try the AAA servers. To create a server group and add AAA servers to it, follow these steps: Step 1 For each AAA server group you need to create, follow these steps: a. Identify the server group name and the protocol. To do so, enter the following command: hostname(config)# aaa-server server_group protocol {kerberos | ldap | nt | radius | sdi | tacacs+} For example, to use RADIUS to authenticate network access and TACACS+ to authenticate CLI access, you need to create at least two server groups, one for RADIUS servers and one for TACACS+ servers. You can have up to 15 single-mode server groups or 4 multi-mode server groups. Each server group can have up to 16 servers in single mode or up to 4 servers in multi-mode. When you enter a aaa-server protocol command, you enter group mode. b. If you want to specify the maximum number of requests sent to a AAA server in the group before trying the next server, enter the following command: 13-13 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 13 Configuring AAA Servers and the Local Database Identifying AAA Server Groups and Servers hostname(config-aaa-server-group)# max-failed-attempts number The number can be between 1 and 5. The default is 3. If you configured a fallback method using the local database (for management access only; see the “Configuring AAA for System Administrators” section on page 40-5 and the “Configuring TACACS+ Command Authorization” section on page 40-11 to configure the fallback mechanism), and all the servers in the group fail to respond, then the group is considered to be unresponsive, and the fallback method is tried. The server group remains marked as unresponsive for a period of 10 minutes (by default) so that additional AAA requests within that period do not attempt to contact the server group, and the fallback method is used immediately. To change the unresponsive period from the default, see the reactivation-mode command in the following step. If you do not have a fallback method, the security appliance continues to retry the servers in the group. c. If you want to specify the method (reactivation policy) by which failed servers in a group are reactivated, enter the following command: hostname(config-aaa-server-group)# # reactivation-mode {depletion [deadtime minutes] | timed} Where the depletion keyword reactivates failed servers only after all of the servers in the group are inactive. The deadtime minutes argument specifies the amount of time in minutes, between 0 and 1440, that elapses between the disabling of the last server in the group and the subsequent re-enabling of all servers. The default is 10 minutes. The timed keyword reactivates failed servers after 30 seconds of down time. d. If you want to send accounting messages to all servers in the group (RADIUS or TACACS+ only), enter the following command: hostname(config-aaa-server-group)# accounting-mode simultaneous To restore the default of sending messages only to the active server, enter the accounting-mode single command. Step 2 For each AAA server on your network, follow these steps: a. Identify the server, including the AAA server group it belongs to. To do so, enter the following command: hostname(config)# aaa-server server_group (interface_name) host server_ip When you enter a aaa-server host command, you enter host mode. b. As needed, use host mode commands to further configure the AAA server. The commands in host mode do not apply to all AAA server types. Table 13-2 lists the available commands, the server types they apply to, and whether a new AAA server definition has a default value for that command. Where a command is applicable to the server type you specified and no default value is provided (indicated by “—”), use the command to specify the value.

Because Example 13-2 does not define a retry interval or the port that the Kerberos server listens to, the security appliance uses the default values for these two server-specific parameters. Table 13-2 lists the default values for all AAA server host mode commands. Note Kerberos realm names use numbers and upper-case letters only. Although the security appliance accepts lower-case letters for a realm name, it does not translate lower-case letters to upper-case letters. Be sure to use upper-case letters only. Example 13-2 Kerberos Server Group and Server hostname(config)# aaa-server watchdogs protocol kerberos hostname(config-aaa-server-group)# aaa-server watchdogs host 192.168.3.4 hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# kerberos-realm EXAMPLE.COM hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# exit hostname(config)# Using Certificates and User Login Credentials The following section describes the different methods of using certificates and user login credentials (username and password) for authentication and authorization. This applies to both IPSec and WebVPN. In all cases, LDAP authorization does not use the password as a credential. RADIUS authorization uses either a common password for all users or the username as a password. Using User Login Credentials The default method for authentication and authorization uses the user login credentials. • Authentication – Enabled by authentication server group setting – Uses the username and password as credentials • Authorization – Enabled by authorization server group setting – Uses the username as a credential 13-16 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 13 Configuring AAA Servers and the Local Database Supporting a Zone Labs Integrity Server Using certificates If user digital certificates are configured, the security appliance first validates the certificate. It does not, however, use any of the DNs from the certificates as a username for the authentication. If both authentication and authorization are enabled, the security appliance uses the user login credentials for both user authentication and authorization. • Authentication – Enabled by authentication server group setting – Uses the username and password as credentials • Authorization – Enabled by authorization server group setting – Uses the username as a credential If authentication is disabled and authorization is enabled, the security appliance uses the primary DN field for authorization. • Authentication – DISABLED (set to None) by authentication server group setting – No credentials used • Authorization – Enabled by authorization server group setting – Uses the username value of the certificate primary DN field as a credential Note If the primary DN field is not present in the certificate, the security appliance uses the secondary DN field value as the username for the authorization request. For example, consider a user certificate that contains the following Subject DN fields and values: Cn=anyuser,OU=sales;O=XYZCorporation;L=boston;S=mass;C=us;ea=anyuser@example.com. If the Primary DN = EA (E-mail Address) and the Secondary DN = CN (Common Name), then the username used in the authorization request would be anyuser@example.com. Supporting a Zone Labs Integrity Server This section introduces the Zone Labs Integrity Server, also called Check Point Integrity Server, and presents an example procedure for configuring the security appliance to support the Zone Labs Integrity Server. The Integrity server is a central management station for configuring and enforcing security policies on remote PCs. If a remote PC does not conform to the security policy dictated by the Integrity Server, it will not be granted access to the private network protected by the Integrity Server and security appliance. This section includes the following topics: • Overview of Integrity Server and Security Appliance Interaction, page 13-17 • Configuring Integrity Server Support, page 13-17 13-17 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 13 Configuring AAA Servers and the Local Database Supporting a Zone Labs Integrity Server Overview of Integrity Server and Security Appliance Interaction The VPN client software and the Integrity client software are co-resident on a remote PC. The following steps summarize the actions of the remote PC, security appliance, and Integrity server in the establishment of a session between the PC and the enterprise private network: 1. The VPN client software (residing on the same remote PC as the Integrity client software) connects to the security appliance and tells the security appliance what type of firewall client it is. 2. Once it approves the client firewall type, the security appliance passes Integrity server address information back to the Integrity client. 3. With the security appliance acting as a proxy, the Integrity client establishes a restricted connection with the Integrity server. A restricted connection is only between the Integrity client and server. 4. The Integrity server determines if the Integrity client is in compliance with the mandated security policies. If the client is in compliance with security policies, the Integrity server instructs the security appliance to open the connection and provide the client with connection details. 5. On the remote PC, the VPN client passes connection details to the Integrity client and signals that policy enforcement should begin immediately and the client can no enter the private network. 6. Once the connection is established, the server continues to monitor the state of the client using client heartbeat messages. Note The current release of the security appliance supports one Integrity Server at a time even though the user interfaces support the configuration of up to five Integrity Servers. If the active Server fails, configure another Integrity Server on the security appliance and then reestablish the client VPN session. Configuring Integrity Server Support This section describes an example procedure for configuring the security appliance to support the Zone Labs Integrity Servers. The procedure involves configuring address, port, connection fail timeout and fail states, and SSL certificate parameters. First, you must configure the hostname or IP address of the Integrity server. The following example commands, entered in global configuration mode, configure an Integrity server using the IP address 10.0.0.5. They also specify port 300 (the default port is 5054) and the inside interface for communications with the Integrity server. hostname(config)# zonelabs-integrity server-address 10.0.0.5 hostname(config)# zonelabs-integrity port 300 hostname(config)# zonelabs-integrity interface inside hostname(config)# If the connection between the security appliance and the Integrity server fails, the VPN client connections remain open by default so that the enterprise VPN is not disrupted by the failure of an Integrity server. However, you may want to close the VPN connections if the Zone Labs Integrity Server fails. The following commands ensure that the security appliance waits 12 seconds for a response from either the active or standby Integrity servers before declaring an the Integrity server as failed and closing the VPN client connections: hostname(config)# zonelabs-integrity fail-timeout 12 hostname(config)# zonelabs-integrity fail-close hostname(config)# 13-18 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 13 Configuring AAA Servers and the Local Database Supporting a Zone Labs Integrity Server The following command returns the configured VPN client connection fail state to the default and ensures the client connections remain open: hostname(config)# zonelabs-integrity fail-open hostname(config)# The following example commands specify that the Integrity server connects to port 300 (default is port 80) on the security appliance to request the server SSL certificate. While the server SSL certificate is always authenticated, these commands also specify that the client SSL certificate of the Integrity server be authenticated. hostname(config)# zonelabs-integrity ssl-certificate-port 300 hostname(config)# zonelabs-integrity ssl-client-authentication hostname(config)# To set the firewall client type to the Zone Labs Integrity type, use the client-firewall command as described in the “Configuring Firewall Policies” section on page 30-55. The command arguments that specify firewall policies are not used when the firewall type is zonelabs-integrity because the Integrity server determines the policies. CH A P T E R 14-1 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 14 Configuring Failover This chapter describes the security appliance failover feature, which lets you configure two security appliances so that one takes over operation if the other one fails. Note The ASA 5505 series adaptive security appliance does not support Stateful Failover or Active/Active failover. This chapter includes the following sections: • Understanding Failover, page 14-1 • Configuring Failover, page 14-19 • Controlling and Monitoring Failover, page 14-49 For failover configuration examples, see Appendix B, “Sample Configurations.” Understanding Failover The failover configuration requires two identical security appliances connected to each other through a dedicated failover link and, optionally, a Stateful Failover link. The health of the active interfaces and units is monitored to determine if specific failover conditions are met. If those conditions are met, failover occurs. The security appliance supports two failover configurations, Active/Active failover and Active/Standby failover. Each failover configuration has its own method for determining and performing failover. With Active/Active failover, both units can pass network traffic. This lets you configure load balancing on your network. Active/Active failover is only available on units running in multiple context mode. With Active/Standby failover, only one unit passes traffic while the other unit waits in a standby state. Active/Standby failover is available on units running in either single or multiple context mode. Both failover configurations support stateful or stateless (regular) failover. Note VPN failover is not supported on units running in multiple context mode. VPN failover available for Active/Standby failover configurations only. 14-2 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Understanding Failover This section includes the following topics: • Failover System Requirements, page 14-2 • The Failover and Stateful Failover Links, page 14-3 • Active/Active and Active/Standby Failover, page 14-6 • Regular and Stateful Failover, page 14-15 • Failover Health Monitoring, page 14-16 • Failover Feature/Platform Matrix, page 14-18 • Failover Times by Platform, page 14-18 Failover System Requirements This section describes the hardware, software, and license requirements for security appliances in a failover configuration. This section contains the following topics: • Hardware Requirements, page 14-2 • Software Requirements, page 14-2 • License Requirements, page 14-2 Hardware Requirements The two units in a failover configuration must have the same hardware configuration. They must be the same model, have the same number and types of interfaces, and the same amount of RAM. Note The two units do not have to have the same size Flash memory. If using units with different Flash memory sizes in your failover configuration, make sure the unit with the smaller Flash memory has enough space to accommodate the software image files and the configuration files. If it does not, configuration synchronization from the unit with the larger Flash memory to the unit with the smaller Flash memory will fail. Software Requirements The two units in a failover configuration must be in the operating modes (routed or transparent, single or multiple context). They have the same major (first number) and minor (second number) software version. However, you can use different versions of the software during an upgrade process; for example, you can upgrade one unit from Version 7.0(1) to Version 7.0(2) and have failover remain active. We recommend upgrading both units to the same version to ensure long-term compatibility. See “Performing Zero Downtime Upgrades for Failover Pairs” section on page 41-6 for more information about upgrading the software on a failover pair. License Requirements On the PIX 500 series security appliance, at least one of the units must have an unrestricted (UR) license. The other unit can have a Failover Only (FO) license, a Failover Only Active-Active (FO_AA) license, or another UR license. Units with a Restricted license cannot be used for failover, and two units with FO or FO_AA licenses cannot be used together as a failover pair. 14-3 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Understanding Failover Note The FO license does not support Active/Active failover. The FO and FO_AA licenses are intended to be used solely for units in a failover configuration and not for units in standalone mode. If a failover unit with one of these licenses is used in standalone mode, the unit reboots at least once every 24 hours until the unit is returned to failover duty. A unit with an FO or FO_AA license operates in standalone mode if it is booted without being connected to a failover peer with a UR license. If the unit with a UR license in a failover pair fails and is removed from the configuration, the unit with the FO or FO_AA license does not automatically reboot every 24 hours; it operates uninterrupted unless the it is manually rebooted. When the unit automatically reboots, the following message displays on the console: =========================NOTICE========================= This machine is running in secondary mode without a connection to an active primary PIX. Please check your connection to the primary system. REBOOTING.... ======================================================== The ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance platform does not have this restriction. The Failover and Stateful Failover Links This section describes the failover and the Stateful Failover links, which are dedicated connections between the two units in a failover configuration. This section includes the following topics: • Failover Link, page 14-3 • Stateful Failover Link, page 14-5 Failover Link The two units in a failover pair constantly communicate over a failover link to determine the operating status of each unit. The following information is communicated over the failover link: • The unit state (active or standby). • Power status (cable-based failover only—available only on the PIX 500 series security appliance). • Hello messages (keep-alives). • Network link status. • MAC address exchange. • Configuration replication and synchronization. Caution All information sent over the failover and Stateful Failover links is sent in clear text unless you secure the communication with a failover key. If the security appliance is used to terminate VPN tunnels, this information includes any usernames, passwords and preshared keys used for establishing the tunnels. Transmitting this sensitive data in clear text could pose a significant security risk. We recommend securing the failover communication with a failover key if you are using the security appliance to terminate VPN tunnels. 14-4 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Understanding Failover On the PIX 500 series security appliance, the failover link can be either a LAN-based connection or a dedicated serial Failover cable. On the ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance, the failover link can only be a LAN-based connection. This section includes the following topics: • LAN-Based Failover Link, page 14-4 • Serial Cable Failover Link (PIX Security Appliance Only), page 14-4 LAN-Based Failover Link You can use any unused Ethernet interface on the device as the failover link; however, you cannot specify an interface that is currently configured with a name. The LAN failover link interface is not configured as a normal networking interface. It exists for failover communication only. This interface should only be used for the LAN failover link (and optionally for the stateful failover link). Connect the LAN failover link in one of the following two ways: • Using a switch, with no other device on the same network segment (broadcast domain or VLAN) as the LAN failover interfaces of the ASA. • Using a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the appliances directly, without the need for an external switch. Note When you use a crossover cable for the LAN failover link, if the LAN interface fails, the link is brought down on both peers. This condition may hamper troubleshooting efforts because you cannot easily determine which interface failed and caused the link to come down. Note The ASA supports Auto-MDI/MDIX on its copper Ethernet ports, so you can either use a crossover cable or a straight-through cable. If you use a straight-through cable, the interface automatically detects the cable and swaps one of the transmit/receive pairs to MDIX. Serial Cable Failover Link (PIX Security Appliance Only) The serial Failover cable, or “cable-based failover,” is only available on the PIX 500 series security appliance. If the two units are within six feet of each other, then we recommend that you use the serial Failover cable. The cable that connects the two units is a modified RS-232 serial link cable that transfers data at 117,760 bps (115 Kbps). One end of the cable is labeled “Primary”. The unit attached to this end of the cable automatically becomes the primary unit. The other end of the cable is labeled “Secondary”. The unit attached to this end of the cable automatically becomes the secondary unit. You cannot override these designations in the PIX 500 series security appliance software. If you purchased a PIX 500 series security appliance failover bundle, this cable is included. To order a spare, use part number PIX-FO=. The benefits of using cable-based failover include: • The PIX 500 series security appliance can immediately detect a power loss on the peer unit and differentiate between a power loss from an unplugged cable. • The standby unit can communicate with the active unit and can receive the entire configuration without having to be bootstrapped for failover. In LAN-based failover you need to configure the failover link on the standby unit before it can communicate with the active unit. • The switch between the two units in LAN-based failover can be another point of hardware failure; cable-based failover eliminates this potential point of failure. 14-5 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Understanding Failover • You do not have to dedicate an Ethernet interface (and switch) to the failover link. • The cable determines which unit is primary and which is secondary, eliminating the need to manually enter that information in the unit configurations. The disadvantages include: • Distance limitation—the units cannot be separated by more than 6 feet. • Slower configuration replication. Stateful Failover Link To use Stateful Failover, you must configure a Stateful Failover link to pass all state information. You have three options for configuring a Stateful Failover link: • You can use a dedicated Ethernet interface for the Stateful Failover link. • If you are using LAN-based failover, you can share the failover link. • You can share a regular data interface, such as the inside interface. However, this option is not recommended. If you are using a dedicated Ethernet interface for the Stateful Failover link, you can use either a switch or a crossover cable to directly connect the units. If you use a switch, no other hosts or routers should be on this link. Note Enable the PortFast option on Cisco switch ports that connect directly to the security appliance. If you use a data interface as the Stateful Failover link, you receive the following warning when you specify that interface as the Stateful Failover link: ******* WARNING ***** WARNING ******* WARNING ****** WARNING ********* Sharing Stateful failover interface with regular data interface is not a recommended configuration due to performance and security concerns. ******* WARNING ***** WARNING ******* WARNING ****** WARNING ********* Sharing a data interface with the Stateful Failover interface can leave you vulnerable to replay attacks. Additionally, large amounts of Stateful Failover traffic may be sent on the interface, causing performance problems on that network segment. Note Using a data interface as the Stateful Failover interface is only supported in single context, routed mode. In multiple context mode, the Stateful Failover link resides in the system context. This interface and the failover interface are the only interfaces in the system context. All other interfaces are allocated to and configured from within security contexts. Note The IP address and MAC address for the Stateful Failover link does not change at failover unless the Stateful Failover link is configured on a regular data interface. Caution All information sent over the failover and Stateful Failover links is sent in clear text unless you secure the communication with a failover key. If the security appliance is used to terminate VPN tunnels, this information includes any usernames, passwords and preshared keys used for establishing the tunnels. 14-6 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Understanding Failover Transmitting this sensitive data in clear text could pose a significant security risk. We recommend securing the failover communication with a failover key if you are using the security appliance to terminate VPN tunnels. Failover Interface Speed for Stateful Links If you use the failover link as the Stateful Failover link, you should use the fastest Ethernet interface available. If you experience performance problems on that interface, consider dedicating a separate interface for the Stateful Failover interface. Use the following failover interface speed guidelines for Cisco PIX security appliances and Cisco ASA adaptive security appliances: • Cisco ASA 5520/5540/5550 and PIX 515E/535 – The stateful link speed should match the fastest data link • Cisco ASA 5510 and PIX 525 – Stateful link speed can be 100 Mbps, even though the data interface can operate at 1 Gigabit due to the CPU speed limitation. For optimum performance when using long distance LAN failover, the latency for the failover link should be less than 10 milliseconds and no more than 250 milliseconds. If latency is less than 10 milliseconds, some performance degradation occurs due to retransmission of failover messages. All platforms support sharing of failover heartbeat and stateful link, but we recommend using a separate heartbeat link on systems with high Stateful Failover traffic. Active/Active and Active/Standby Failover This section describes each failover configuration in detail. This section includes the following topics: • Active/Standby Failover, page 14-6 • Active/Active Failover, page 14-10 • Determining Which Type of Failover to Use, page 14-15 Active/Standby Failover This section describes Active/Standby failover and includes the following topics: • Active/Standby Failover Overview, page 14-6 • Primary/Secondary Status and Active/Standby Status, page 14-7 • Device Initialization and Configuration Synchronization, page 14-7 • Command Replication, page 14-8 • Failover Triggers, page 14-9 • Failover Actions, page 14-9 Active/Standby Failover Overview Active/Standby failover lets you use a standby security appliance to take over the functionality of a failed unit. When the active unit fails, it changes to the standby state while the standby unit changes to the active state. The unit that becomes active assumes the IP addresses (or, for transparent firewall, the 14-7 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Understanding Failover management IP address) and MAC addresses of the failed unit and begins passing traffic. The unit that is now in standby state takes over the standby IP addresses and MAC addresses. Because network devices see no change in the MAC to IP address pairing, no ARP entries change or time out anywhere on the network. Note For multiple context mode, the security appliance can fail over the entire unit (including all contexts) but cannot fail over individual contexts separately. Primary/Secondary Status and Active/Standby Status The main differences between the two units in a failover pair are related to which unit is active and which unit is standby, namely which IP addresses to use and which unit actively passes traffic. However, a few differences exist between the units based on which unit is primary (as specified in the configuration) and which unit is secondary: • The primary unit always becomes the active unit if both units start up at the same time (and are of equal operational health). • The primary unit MAC addresses are always coupled with the active IP addresses. The exception to this rule occurs when the secondary unit is active, and cannot obtain the primary unit MAC addresses over the failover link. In this case, the secondary unit MAC addresses are used. Device Initialization and Configuration Synchronization Configuration synchronization occurs when one or both devices in the failover pair boot. Configurations are always synchronized from the active unit to the standby unit. When the standby unit completes its initial startup, it clears its running configuration (except for the failover commands needed to communicate with the active unit), and the active unit sends its entire configuration to the standby unit. The active unit is determined by the following: • If a unit boots and detects a peer already running as active, it becomes the standby unit. • If a unit boots and does not detect a peer, it becomes the active unit. • If both units boot simultaneously, then the primary unit becomes the active unit and the secondary unit becomes the standby unit. Note If the secondary unit boots without detecting the primary unit, it becomes the active unit. It uses its own MAC addresses for the active IP addresses. However, when the primary unit becomes available, the secondary unit changes the MAC addresses to those of the primary unit, which can cause an interruption in your network traffic. To avoid this, configure the failover pair with virtual MAC addresses. See the “Configuring Virtual MAC Addresses” section on page 14-26 for more information. When the replication starts, the security appliance console on the active unit displays the message “Beginning configuration replication: Sending to mate,” and when it is complete, the security appliance displays the message “End Configuration Replication to mate.” During replication, commands entered on the active unit may not replicate properly to the standby unit, and commands entered on the standby unit may be overwritten by the configuration being replicated from the active unit. Avoid entering commands on either unit in the failover pair during the configuration replication process. Depending upon the size of the configuration, replication can take from a few seconds to several minutes. On the standby unit, the configuration exists only in running memory. To save the configuration to Flash memory after synchronization: 14-8 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Understanding Failover • For single context mode, enter the write memory command on the active unit. The command is replicated to the standby unit, which proceeds to write its configuration to Flash memory. • For multiple context mode, enter the write memory all command on the active unit from the system execution space. The command is replicated to the standby unit, which proceeds to write its configuration to Flash memory. Using the all keyword with this command causes the system and all context configurations to be saved. Note Startup configurations saved on external servers are accessible from either unit over the network and do not need to be saved separately for each unit. Alternatively, you can copy the contexts on disk from the active unit to an external server, and then copy them to disk on the standby unit, where they become available when the unit reloads. Command Replication Command replication always flows from the active unit to the standby unit. As commands are entered on the active unit, they are sent across the failover link to the standby unit. You do not have to save the active configuration to Flash memory to replicate the commands. The following commands are replicated to the standby unit: • all configuration commands except for the mode, firewall, and failover lan unit commands • copy running-config startup-config • delete • mkdir • rename • rmdir • write memory The following commands are not replicated to the standby unit: • all forms of the copy command except for copy running-config startup-config • all forms of the write command except for write memory • debug • failover lan unit • firewall • mode • show Note Changes made on the standby unit are not replicated to the active unit. If you enter a command on the standby unit, the security appliance displays the message **** WARNING **** Configuration Replication is NOT performed from Standby unit to Active unit. Configurations are no longer synchronized. This message displays even when you enter many commands that do not affect the configuration. If you enter the write standby command on the active unit, the standby unit clears its running configuration (except for the failover commands used to communicate with the active unit), and the active unit sends its entire configuration to the standby unit. 14-9 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Understanding Failover For multiple context mode, when you enter the write standby command in the system execution space, all contexts are replicated. If you enter the write standby command within a context, the command replicates only the context configuration. Replicated commands are stored in the running configuration. To save the replicated commands to the Flash memory on the standby unit: • For single context mode, enter the copy running-config startup-config command on the active unit. The command is replicated to the standby unit, which proceeds to write its configuration to Flash memory. • For multiple context mode, enter the copy running-config startup-config command on the active unit from the system execution space and within each context on disk. The command is replicated to the standby unit, which proceeds to write its configuration to Flash memory. Contexts with startup configurations on external servers are accessible from either unit over the network and do not need to be saved separately for each unit. Alternatively, you can copy the contexts on disk from the active unit to an external server, and then copy them to disk on the standby unit. Failover Triggers The unit can fail if one of the following events occurs: • The unit has a hardware failure or a power failure. • The unit has a software failure. • Too many monitored interfaces fail. • The no failover active command is entered on the active unit or the failover active command is entered on the standby unit. Failover Actions In Active/Standby failover, failover occurs on a unit basis. Even on systems running in multiple context mode, you cannot fail over individual or groups of contexts. Table 14-1 shows the failover action for each failure event. For each failure event, the table shows the failover policy (failover or no failover), the action taken by the active unit, the action taken by the standby unit, and any special notes about the failover condition and actions. Table 14-1 Failover Behavior Failure Event Policy Active Action Standby Action Notes Active unit failed (power or hardware) Failover n/a Become active Mark active as failed No hello messages are received on any monitored interface or the failover link. Formerly active unit recovers No failover Become standby No action None. Standby unit failed (power or hardware) No failover Mark standby as failed n/a When the standby unit is marked as failed, then the active unit does not attempt to fail over, even if the interface failure threshold is surpassed. Failover link failed during operation No failover Mark failover interface as failed Mark failover interface as failed You should restore the failover link as soon as possible because the unit cannot fail over to the standby unit while the failover link is down. 14-10 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Understanding Failover Active/Active Failover This section describes Active/Active failover. This section includes the following topics: • Active/Active Failover Overview, page 14-10 • Primary/Secondary Status and Active/Standby Status, page 14-11 • Device Initialization and Configuration Synchronization, page 14-11 • Command Replication, page 14-12 • Failover Triggers, page 14-13 • Failover Actions, page 14-14 Active/Active Failover Overview Active/Active failover is only available to security appliances in multiple context mode. In an Active/Active failover configuration, both security appliances can pass network traffic. In Active/Active failover, you divide the security contexts on the security appliance into failover groups. A failover group is simply a logical group of one or more security contexts. You can create a maximum of two failover groups on the security appliance. The admin context is always a member of failover group 1. Any unassigned security contexts are also members of failover group 1 by default. The failover group forms the base unit for failover in Active/Active failover. Interface failure monitoring, failover, and active/standby status are all attributes of a failover group rather than the unit. When an active failover group fails, it changes to the standby state while the standby failover group becomes active. The interfaces in the failover group that becomes active assume the MAC and IP addresses of the interfaces in the failover group that failed. The interfaces in the failover group that is now in the standby state take over the standby MAC and IP addresses. Note A failover group failing on a unit does not mean that the unit has failed. The unit may still have another failover group passing traffic on it. When creating the failover groups, you should create them on the unit that will have failover group 1 in the active state. Failover link failed at startup No failover Mark failover interface as failed Become active If the failover link is down at startup, both units become active. Stateful Failover link failed No failover No action No action State information becomes out of date, and sessions are terminated if a failover occurs. Interface failure on active unit above threshold Failover Mark active as failed Become active None. Interface failure on standby unit above threshold No failover No action Mark standby as failed When the standby unit is marked as failed, then the active unit does not attempt to fail over even if the interface failure threshold is surpassed. Table 14-1 Failover Behavior (continued) Failure Event Policy Active Action Standby Action Notes 14-11 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Understanding Failover Note Active/Active failover generates virtual MAC addresses for the interfaces in each failover group. If you have more than one Active/Active failover pair on the same network, it is possible to have the same default virtual MAC addresses assigned to the interfaces on one pair as are assigned to the interfaces of the other pairs because of the way the default virtual MAC addresses are determined. To avoid having duplicate MAC addresses on your network, make sure you assign each physical interface a virtual active and standby MAC address. Primary/Secondary Status and Active/Standby Status As in Active/Standby failover, one unit in an Active/Active failover pair is designated the primary unit, and the other unit the secondary unit. Unlike Active/Standby failover, this designation does not indicate which unit becomes active when both units start simultaneously. Instead, the primary/secondary designation does two things: • Determines which unit provides the running configuration to the pair when they boot simultaneously. • Determines on which unit each failover group appears in the active state when the units boot simultaneously. Each failover group in the configuration is configured with a primary or secondary unit preference. You can configure both failover groups be in the active state on a single unit in the pair, with the other unit containing the failover groups in the standby state. However, a more typical configuration is to assign each failover group a different role preference to make each one active on a different unit, distributing the traffic across the devices. Note The security appliance does not provide load balancing services. Load balancing must be handled by a router passing traffic to the security appliance. Which unit each failover group becomes active on is determined as follows: • When a unit boots while the peer unit is not available, both failover groups become active on the unit. • When a unit boots while the peer unit is active (with both failover groups in the active state), the failover groups remain in the active state on the active unit regardless of the primary or secondary preference of the failover group until one of the following: – A failover occurs. – You manually force the failover group to the other unit with the no failover active command. – You configured the failover group with the preempt command, which causes the failover group to automatically become active on the preferred unit when the unit becomes available. • When both units boot at the same time, each failover group becomes active on its preferred unit after the configurations have been synchronized. Device Initialization and Configuration Synchronization Configuration synchronization occurs when one or both units in a failover pair boot. The configurations are synchronized as follows: • When a unit boots while the peer unit is active (with both failover groups active on it), the booting unit contacts the active unit to obtain the running configuration regardless of the primary or secondary designation of the booting unit. 14-12 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Understanding Failover • When both units boot simultaneously, the secondary unit obtains the running configuration from the primary unit. When the replication starts, the security appliance console on the unit sending the configuration displays the message “Beginning configuration replication: Sending to mate,” and when it is complete, the security appliance displays the message “End Configuration Replication to mate.” During replication, commands entered on the unit sending the configuration may not replicate properly to the peer unit, and commands entered on the unit receiving the configuration may be overwritten by the configuration being received. Avoid entering commands on either unit in the failover pair during the configuration replication process. Depending upon the size of the configuration, replication can take from a few seconds to several minutes. On the unit receiving the configuration, the configuration exists only in running memory. To save the configuration to Flash memory after synchronization enter the write memory all command in the system execution space on the unit that has failover group 1 in the active state. The command is replicated to the peer unit, which proceeds to write its configuration to Flash memory. Using the all keyword with this command causes the system and all context configurations to be saved. Note Startup configurations saved on external servers are accessible from either unit over the network and do not need to be saved separately for each unit. Alternatively, you can copy the contexts configuration files from the disk on the primary unit to an external server, and then copy them to disk on the secondary unit, where they become available when the unit reloads. Command Replication After both units are running, commands are replicated from one unit to the other as follows: • Commands entered within a security context are replicated from the unit on which the security context appears in the active state to the peer unit. Note A context is considered in the active state on a unit if the failover group to which it belongs is in the active state on that unit. • Commands entered in the system execution space are replicated from the unit on which failover group 1 is in the active state to the unit on which failover group 1 is in the standby state. • Commands entered in the admin context are replicated from the unit on which failover group 1 is in the active state to the unit on which failover group 1 is in the standby state. All configuration and file commands (copy, rename, delete, mkdir, rmdir, and so on) are replicated, with the following exceptions. The show, debug, mode, firewall, and failover lan unit commands are not replicated. Failure to enter the commands on the appropriate unit for command replication to occur causes the configurations to be out of synchronization. Those changes may be lost the next time the initial configuration synchronization occurs. The following commands are replicated to the standby unit: • all configuration commands except for the mode, firewall, and failover lan unit commands • copy running-config startup-config • delete • mkdir • rename 14-13 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Understanding Failover • rmdir • write memory The following commands are not replicated to the standby unit: • all forms of the copy command except for copy running-config startup-config • all forms of the write command except for write memory • debug • failover lan unit • firewall • mode • show You can use the write standby command to resynchronize configurations that have become out of sync. For Active/Active failover, the write standby command behaves as follows: • If you enter the write standby command in the system execution space, the system configuration and the configurations for all of the security contexts on the security appliance is written to the peer unit. This includes configuration information for security contexts that are in the standby state. You must enter the command in the system execution space on the unit that has failover group 1 in the active state. Note If there are security contexts in the active state on the peer unit, the write standby command causes active connections through those contexts to be terminated. Use the failover active command on the unit providing the configuration to make sure all contexts are active on that unit before entering the write standby command. • If you enter the write standby command in a security context, only the configuration for the security context is written to the peer unit. You must enter the command in the security context on the unit where the security context appears in the active state. Replicated commands are not saved to the Flash memory when replicated to the peer unit. They are added to the running configuration. To save replicated commands to Flash memory on both units, use the write memory or copy running-config startup-config command on the unit that you made the changes on. The command is replicated to the peer unit and cause the configuration to be saved to Flash memory on the peer unit. Failover Triggers In Active/Active failover, failover can be triggered at the unit level if one of the following events occurs: • The unit has a hardware failure. • The unit has a power failure. • The unit has a software failure. • The no failover active or the failover active command is entered in the system execution space. Failover is triggered at the failover group level when one of the following events occurs: • Too many monitored interfaces in the group fail. • The no failover active group group_id or failover active group group_id command is entered. 14-14 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Understanding Failover You configure the failover threshold for each failover group by specifying the number or percentage of interfaces within the failover group that must fail before the group fails. Because a failover group can contain multiple contexts, and each context can contain multiple interfaces, it is possible for all interfaces in a single context to fail without causing the associated failover group to fail. See the “Failover Health Monitoring” section on page 14-16 for more information about interface and unit monitoring. Failover Actions In an Active/Active failover configuration, failover occurs on a failover group basis, not a system basis. For example, if you designate both failover groups as active on the primary unit, and failover group 1 fails, then failover group 2 remains active on the primary unit while failover group 1 becomes active on the secondary unit. Note When configuring Active/Active failover, make sure that the combined traffic for both units is within the capacity of each unit. Table 14-2 shows the failover action for each failure event. For each failure event, the policy (whether or not failover occurs), actions for the active failover group, and actions for the standby failover group are given. Table 14-2 Failover Behavior for Active/Active Failover Failure Event Policy Active Group Action Standby Group Action Notes A unit experiences a power or software failure Failover Become standby Mark as failed Become active Mark active as failed When a unit in a failover pair fails, any active failover groups on that unit are marked as failed and become active on the peer unit. Interface failure on active failover group above threshold Failover Mark active group as failed Become active None. Interface failure on standby failover group above threshold No failover No action Mark standby group as failed When the standby failover group is marked as failed, the active failover group does not attempt to fail over, even if the interface failure threshold is surpassed. Formerly active failover group recovers No failover No action No action Unless configured with the preempt command, the failover groups remain active on their current unit. Failover link failed at startup No failover Become active Become active If the failover link is down at startup, both failover groups on both units become active. 14-15 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Understanding Failover Determining Which Type of Failover to Use The type of failover you choose depends upon your security appliance configuration and how you plan to use the security appliances. If you are running the security appliance in single mode, then you can only use Active/Standby failover. Active/Active failover is only available to security appliances running in multiple context mode. If you are running the security appliance in multiple context mode, then you can configure either Active/Active failover or Active/Standby failover. • To provide load balancing, use Active/Active failover. • If you do not want to provide load balancing, use Active/Standby or Active/Active failover. Table 14-3 provides a comparison of some of the features supported by each type of failover configuration: Regular and Stateful Failover The security appliance supports two types of failover, regular and stateful. This section includes the following topics: • Regular Failover, page 14-16 • Stateful Failover, page 14-16 Stateful Failover link failed No failover No action No action State information becomes out of date, and sessions are terminated if a failover occurs. Failover link failed during operation No failover n/a n/a Each unit marks the failover interface as failed. You should restore the failover link as soon as possible because the unit cannot fail over to the standby unit while the failover link is down. Table 14-2 Failover Behavior for Active/Active Failover (continued) Failure Event Policy Active Group Action Standby Group Action Notes Table 14-3 Failover Configuration Feature Support Feature Active/Active Active/Standby Single Context Mode No Yes Multiple Context Mode Yes Yes Load Balancing Network Configurations Yes No Unit Failover Yes Yes Failover of Groups of Contexts Yes No Failover of Individual Contexts No No 14-16 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Understanding Failover Regular Failover When a failover occurs, all active connections are dropped. Clients need to reestablish connections when the new active unit takes over. Stateful Failover When Stateful Failover is enabled, the active unit continually passes per-connection state information to the standby unit. After a failover occurs, the same connection information is available at the new active unit. Supported end-user applications are not required to reconnect to keep the same communication session. The state information passed to the standby unit includes the following: • NAT translation table. • TCP connection states. • UDP connection states. • The ARP table. • The Layer 2 bridge table (when running in transparent firewall mode). • The HTTP connection states (if HTTP replication is enabled). • The ISAKMP and IPSec SA table. • GTP PDP connection database. The information that is not passed to the standby unit when Stateful Failover is enabled includes the following: • The HTTP connection table (unless HTTP replication is enabled). • The user authentication (uauth) table. • The routing tables. After a failover occurs, some packets may be lost our routed out of the wrong interface (the default route) while the dynamic routing protocols rediscover routes. • State information for Security Service Modules. • DHCP server address leases. • L2TP over IPSec sessions. Note If failover occurs during an active Cisco IP SoftPhone session, the call remains active because the call session state information is replicated to the standby unit. When the call is terminated, the IP SoftPhone client loses connection with the Call Manager. This occurs because there is no session information for the CTIQBE hangup message on the standby unit. When the IP SoftPhone client does not receive a response back from the Call Manager within a certain time period, it considers the Call Manager unreachable and unregisters itself. Failover Health Monitoring The security appliance monitors each unit for overall health and for interface health. See the following sections for more information about how the security appliance performs tests to determine the state of each unit: • Unit Health Monitoring, page 14-17 14-17 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Understanding Failover • Interface Monitoring, page 14-17 Unit Health Monitoring The security appliance determines the health of the other unit by monitoring the failover link. When a unit does not receive three consecutive hello messages on the failover link, the unit sends an ARP request on all interfaces, including the failover interface. The action the security appliance takes depends on the response from the other unit. See the following possible actions: • If the security appliance receives a response on the failover interface, then it does not fail over. • If the security appliance does not receive a response on the failover link, but receives a response on another interface, then the unit does not failover. The failover link is marked as failed. You should restore the failover link as soon as possible because the unit cannot fail over to the standby while the failover link is down. • If the security appliance does not receive a response on any interface, then the standby unit switches to active mode and classifies the other unit as failed. Note If a failed unit does not recover and you believe it should not be failed, you can reset the state by entering the failover reset command. If the failover condition persists, however, the unit will fail again. You can configure the frequency of the hello messages and the hold time before failover occurs. A faster poll time and shorter hold time speed the detection of unit failures and make failover occur more quickly, but it can also cause “false” failures due to network congestion delaying the keepalive packets. See Configuring Unit Health Monitoring, page 14-39 for more information about configuring unit health monitoring. Interface Monitoring You can monitor up to 250 interfaces divided between all contexts. You should monitor important interfaces, for example, you might configure one context to monitor a shared interface (because the interface is shared, all contexts benefit from the monitoring). When a unit does not receive hello messages on a monitored interface for half of the configured hold time, it runs the following tests: 1. Link Up/Down test—A test of the interface status. If the Link Up/Down test indicates that the interface is operational, then the security appliance performs network tests. The purpose of these tests is to generate network traffic to determine which (if either) unit has failed. At the start of each test, each unit clears its received packet count for its interfaces. At the conclusion of each test, each unit looks to see if it has received any traffic. If it has, the interface is considered operational. If one unit receives traffic for a test and the other unit does not, the unit that received no traffic is considered failed. If neither unit has received traffic, then the next test is used. 2. Network Activity test—A received network activity test. The unit counts all received packets for up to 5 seconds. If any packets are received at any time during this interval, the interface is considered operational and testing stops. If no traffic is received, the ARP test begins. 3. ARP test—A reading of the unit ARP cache for the 2 most recently acquired entries. One at a time, the unit sends ARP requests to these machines, attempting to stimulate network traffic. After each request, the unit counts all received traffic for up to 5 seconds. If traffic is received, the interface is considered operational. If no traffic is received, an ARP request is sent to the next machine. If at the end of the list no traffic has been received, the ping test begins. 14-18 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Understanding Failover 4. Broadcast Ping test—A ping test that consists of sending out a broadcast ping request. The unit then counts all received packets for up to 5 seconds. If any packets are received at any time during this interval, the interface is considered operational and testing stops. If all network tests fail for an interface, but this interface on the other unit continues to successfully pass traffic, then the interface is considered to be failed. If the threshold for failed interfaces is met, then a failover occurs. If the other unit interface also fails all the network tests, then both interfaces go into the “Unknown” state and do not count towards the failover limit. An interface becomes operational again if it receives any traffic. A failed security appliance returns to standby mode if the interface failure threshold is no longer met. Note If a failed unit does not recover and you believe it should not be failed, you can reset the state by entering the failover reset command. If the failover condition persists, however, the unit will fail again. Failover Feature/Platform Matrix Table 14-4 shows the failover features supported by each hardware platform. Failover Times by Platform Table 14-5 shows the minimum, default, and maximum failover times for the PIX 500 series security appliance. Table 14-6 shows the minimum, default, and maximum failover times for the ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance.

Configuring Active/Standby Failover This section provides step-by-step procedures for configuring Active/Standby failover. This section includes the following topics: • Prerequisites, page 14-20 • Configuring Cable-Based Active/Standby Failover (PIX Security Appliance Only), page 14-20 Table 14-6 ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance failover times.

Configuring Cable-Based Active/Standby Failover (PIX Security Appliance Only) Follow these steps to configure Active/Standby failover using a serial cable as the failover link. The commands in this task are entered on the primary unit in the failover pair. The primary unit is the unit that has the end of the cable labeled “Primary” plugged into it. For devices in multiple context mode, the commands are entered in the system execution space unless otherwise noted. You do not need to bootstrap the secondary unit in the failover pair when you use cable-based failover. Leave the secondary unit powered off until instructed to power it on. Cable-based failover is only available on the PIX 500 series security appliance. To configure cable-based Active/Standby failover, perform the following steps: Step 1 Connect the Failover cable to the PIX 500 series security appliances. Make sure that you attach the end of the cable marked “Primary” to the unit you use as the primary unit, and that you attach the end of the cable marked “Secondary” to the other unit. Step 2 Power on the primary unit. Step 3 If you have not done so already, configure the active and standby IP addresses for each data interface (routed mode), for the management IP address (transparent mode), or for the management-only interface. To receive packets from both units in a failover pair, standby IP addresses need to be configured on all interfaces. The standby IP address is used on the security appliance that is currently the standby unit, and it must be in the same subnet as the active IP address. Note Do not configure an IP address for the Stateful Failover link if you are going to use a dedicated Stateful Failover interface. You use the failover interface ip command to configure a dedicated Stateful Failover interface in a later step. hostname(config-if)# ip address active_addr netmask standby standby_addr In routed firewall mode and for the management-only interface, this command is entered in interface configuration mode for each interface. In transparent firewall mode, the command is entered in global configuration mode. In multiple context mode, you must configure the interface addresses from within each context. Use the changeto context command to switch between contexts. The command prompt changes to hostname/context(config-if)#, where context is the name of the current context. You must enter a management IP address for each context in transparent firewall multiple context mode. Step 4 (Optional) To enable Stateful Failover, configure the Stateful Failover link. 14-21 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Configuring Failover Note Stateful Failover is not available on the ASA 5505 series adaptive security appliance. a. Specify the interface to be used as the Stateful Failover link: hostname(config)# failover link if_name phy_if The if_name argument assigns a logical name to the interface specified by the phy_if argument. The phy_if argument can be the physical port name, such as Ethernet1, or a previously created subinterface, such as Ethernet0/2.3. This interface should not be used for any other purpose. b. Assign an active and standby IP address to the Stateful Failover link: hostname(config)# failover interface ip if_name ip_addr mask standby ip_addr Note If the Stateful Failover link uses a data interface, skip this step. You have already defined the active and standby IP addresses for the interface. The standby IP address must be in the same subnet as the active IP address. You do not need to identify the standby IP address subnet mask. The Stateful Failover link IP address and MAC address do not change at failover unless it uses a data interface. The active IP address always stays with the primary unit, while the standby IP address stays with the secondary unit. c. Enable the interface: hostname(config)# interface phy_if hostname(config-if)# no shutdown Step 5 Enable failover: hostname(config)# failover Step 6 Power on the secondary unit and enable failover on the unit if it is not already enabled: hostname(config)# failover The active unit sends the configuration in running memory to the standby unit. As the configuration synchronizes, the messages “Beginning configuration replication: sending to mate.” and “End Configuration Replication to mate” appear on the primary console. Step 7 Save the configuration to Flash memory on the primary unit. Because the commands entered on the primary unit are replicated to the secondary unit, the secondary unit also saves its configuration to Flash memory. hostname(config)# copy running-config startup-config Configuring LAN-Based Active/Standby Failover This section describes how to configure Active/Standby failover using an Ethernet failover link. When configuring LAN-based failover, you must bootstrap the secondary device to recognize the failover link before the secondary device can obtain the running configuration from the primary device. 14-22 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Configuring Failover Note If you are changing from cable-based failover to LAN-based failover, you can skip any steps, such as assigning the active and standby IP addresses for each interface, that you completed for the cable-based failover configuration. This section includes the following topics: • Configuring the Primary Unit, page 14-22 • Configuring the Secondary Unit, page 14-24 Configuring the Primary Unit Follow these steps to configure the primary unit in a LAN-based, Active/Standby failover configuration. These steps provide the minimum configuration needed to enable failover on the primary unit. For multiple context mode, all steps are performed in the system execution space unless otherwise noted. To configure the primary unit in an Active/Standby failover pair, perform the following steps: Step 1 If you have not done so already, configure the active and standby IP addresses for each data interface (routed mode), for the management IP address (transparent mode), or for the management-only interface. To receive packets from both units in a failover pair, standby IP addresses need to be configured on all interfaces. The standby IP address is used on the security appliance that is currently the standby unit, and it must be in the same subnet as the active IP address. Note Do not configure an IP address for the Stateful Failover link if you are going to use a dedicated Stateful Failover interface. You use the failover interface ip command to configure a dedicated Stateful Failover interface in a later step. hostname(config-if)# ip address active_addr netmask standby standby_addr In routed firewall mode and for the management-only interface, this command is entered in interface configuration mode for each interface. In transparent firewall mode, the command is entered in global configuration mode. In multiple context mode, you must configure the interface addresses from within each context. Use the changeto context command to switch between contexts. The command prompt changes to hostname/context(config-if)#, where context is the name of the current context. You must enter a management IP address for each context in transparent firewall multiple context mode. Step 2 (PIX security appliance only) Enable LAN-based failover: hostname(config)# failover lan enable Step 3 Designate the unit as the primary unit: hostname(config)# failover lan unit primary Step 4 Define the failover interface: a. Specify the interface to be used as the failover interface: hostname(config)# failover lan interface if_name phy_if The if_name argument assigns a name to the interface specified by the phy_if argument. The phy_if argument can be the physical port name, such as Ethernet1, or a previously created subinterface, such as Ethernet0/2.3. On the ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance, the phy_if specifies a VLAN. 14-23 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Configuring Failover b. Assign the active and standby IP address to the failover link: hostname(config)# failover interface ip if_name ip_addr mask standby ip_addr The standby IP address must be in the same subnet as the active IP address. You do not need to identify the standby address subnet mask. The failover link IP address and MAC address do not change at failover. The active IP address for the failover link always stays with the primary unit, while the standby IP address stays with the secondary unit. c. Enable the interface: hostname(config)# interface phy_if hostname(config-if)# no shutdown Step 5 (Optional) To enable Stateful Failover, configure the Stateful Failover link. Note Stateful Failover is not available on the ASA 5505 series adaptive security appliance. a. Specify the interface to be used as Stateful Failover link: hostname(config)# failover link if_name phy_if Note If the Stateful Failover link uses the failover link or a data interface, then you only need to supply the if_name argument. The if_name argument assigns a logical name to the interface specified by the phy_if argument. The phy_if argument can be the physical port name, such as Ethernet1, or a previously created subinterface, such as Ethernet0/2.3. This interface should not be used for any other purpose (except, optionally, the failover link). b. Assign an active and standby IP address to the Stateful Failover link. Note If the Stateful Failover link uses the failover link or data interface, skip this step. You have already defined the active and standby IP addresses for the interface. hostname(config)# failover interface ip if_name ip_addr mask standby ip_addr The standby IP address must be in the same subnet as the active IP address. You do not need to identify the standby address subnet mask. The Stateful Failover link IP address and MAC address do not change at failover unless it uses a data interface. The active IP address always stays with the primary unit, while the standby IP address stays with the secondary unit. c. Enable the interface. Note If the Stateful Failover link uses the failover link or data interface, skip this step. You have already enabled the interface. hostname(config)# interface phy_if hostname(config-if)# no shutdown Step 6 Enable failover: 14-24 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Configuring Failover hostname(config)# failover Step 7 Save the system configuration to Flash memory: hostname(config)# copy running-config startup-config Configuring the Secondary Unit The only configuration required on the secondary unit is for the failover interface. The secondary unit requires these commands to initially communicate with the primary unit. After the primary unit sends its configuration to the secondary unit, the only permanent difference between the two configurations is the failover lan unit command, which identifies each unit as primary or secondary. For multiple context mode, all steps are performed in the system execution space unless noted otherwise. To configure the secondary unit, perform the following steps: Step 1 (PIX security appliance only) Enable LAN-based failover: hostname(config)# failover lan enable Step 2 Define the failover interface. Use the same settings as you used for the primary unit. a. Specify the interface to be used as the failover interface: hostname(config)# failover lan interface if_name phy_if The if_name argument assigns a name to the interface specified by the phy_if argument. b. Assign the active and standby IP address to the failover link. To receive packets from both units in a failover pair, standby IP addresses need to be configured on all interfaces. hostname(config)# failover interface ip if_name ip_addr mask standby ip_addr Note Enter this command exactly as you entered it on the primary unit when you configured the failover interface on the primary unit. c. Enable the interface: hostname(config)# interface phy_if hostname(config-if)# no shutdown Step 3 (Optional) Designate this unit as the secondary unit: hostname(config)# failover lan unit secondary Note This step is optional because by default units are designated as secondary unless previously configured. Step 4 Enable failover: hostname(config)# failover After you enable failover, the active unit sends the configuration in running memory to the standby unit. As the configuration synchronizes, the messages “Beginning configuration replication: Sending to mate” and “End Configuration Replication to mate” appear on the active unit console. 14-25 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Configuring Failover Step 5 After the running configuration has completed replication, save the configuration to Flash memory: hostname(config)# copy running-config startup-config Configuring Optional Active/Standby Failover Settings You can configure the following optional Active/Standby failover setting when you are initially configuring failover or after failover has already been configured. Unless otherwise noted, the commands should be entered on the active unit. This section includes the following topics: • Enabling HTTP Replication with Stateful Failover, page 14-25 • Disabling and Enabling Interface Monitoring, page 14-25 • Configuring Interface Health Monitoring, page 14-26 • Configuring Failover Criteria, page 14-26 • Configuring Virtual MAC Addresses, page 14-26 Enabling HTTP Replication with Stateful Failover To allow HTTP connections to be included in the state information replication, you need to enable HTTP replication. Because HTTP connections are typically short-lived, and because HTTP clients typically retry failed connection attempts, HTTP connections are not automatically included in the replicated state information. Enter the following command in global configuration mode to enable HTTP state replication when Stateful Failover is enabled: hostname(config)# failover replication http Disabling and Enabling Interface Monitoring By default, monitoring physical interfaces is enabled and monitoring subinterfaces is disabled. You can monitor up to 250 interfaces on a unit. You can control which interfaces affect your failover policy by disabling the monitoring of specific interfaces and enabling the monitoring of others. This lets you exclude interfaces attached to less critical networks from affecting your failover policy. For units in multiple configuration mode, use the following commands to enable or disable health monitoring for specific interfaces: • To disable health monitoring for an interface, enter the following command within a context: hostname/context(config)# no monitor-interface if_name • To enable health monitoring for an interface, enter the following command within a context: hostname/context(config)# monitor-interface if_name For units in single configuration mode, use the following commands to enable or disable health monitoring for specific interfaces: • To disable health monitoring for an interface, enter the following command in global configuration mode: hostname(config)# no monitor-interface if_name 14-26 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Configuring Failover • To enable health monitoring for an interface, enter the following command in global configuration mode: hostname(config)# monitor-interface if_name Configuring Interface Health Monitoring The security appliance sends hello packets out of each data interface to monitor interface health. If the security appliance does not receive a hello packet from the corresponding interface on the peer unit for over half of the hold time, then the additional interface testing begins. If a hello packet or a successful test result is not received within the specified hold time, the interface is marked as failed. Failover occurs if the number of failed interfaces meets the failover criteria. Decreasing the poll and hold times enables the security appliance to detect and respond to interface failures more quickly, but may consume more system resources. To change the interface poll time, enter the following command in global configuration mode: hostname(config)# failover polltime interface [msec] time [holdtime time] Valid values for the poll time are from 1 to 15 seconds or, if the optional msec keyword is used, from 500 to 999 milliseconds. The hold time determines how long it takes from the time a hello packet is missed to when the interface is marked as failed. Valid values for the hold time are from 5 to 75 seconds. You cannot enter a hold time that is less than 5 times the poll time. Note If the interface link is down, interface testing is not conducted and the standby unit could become active in just one interface polling period if the number of failed interface meets or exceeds the configured failover criteria. Configuring Failover Criteria By default, a single interface failure causes failover. You can specify a specific number of interfaces or a percentage of monitored interfaces that must fail before a failover occurs. To change the default failover criteria, enter the following command in global configuration mode: hostname(config)# failover interface-policy num[%] When specifying a specific number of interfaces, the num argument can be from 1 to 250. When specifying a percentage of interfaces, the num argument can be from 1 to 100. Configuring Virtual MAC Addresses In Active/Standby failover, the MAC addresses for the primary unit are always associated with the active IP addresses. If the secondary unit boots first and becomes active, it uses the burned-in MAC address for its interfaces. When the primary unit comes online, the secondary unit obtains the MAC addresses from the primary unit. The change can disrupt network traffic. You can configure virtual MAC addresses for each interface to ensure that the secondary unit uses the correct MAC addresses when it is the active unit, even if it comes online before the primary unit. If you do not specify virtual MAC addresses the failover pair uses the burned-in NIC addresses as the MAC addresses. Note You cannot configure a virtual MAC address for the failover or Stateful Failover links. The MAC and IP addresses for those links do not change during failover. 14-27 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Configuring Failover Enter the following command on the active unit to configure the virtual MAC addresses for an interface: hostname(config)# failover mac address phy_if active_mac standby_mac The phy_if argument is the physical name of the interface, such as Ethernet1. The active_mac and standby_mac arguments are MAC addresses in H.H.H format, where H is a 16-bit hexadecimal digit. For example, the MAC address 00-0C-F1-42-4C-DE would be entered as 000C.F142.4CDE. The active_mac address is associated with the active IP address for the interface, and the standby_mac is associated with the standby IP address for the interface. There are multiple ways to configure virtual MAC addresses on the security appliance. When more than one method has been used to configure virtual MAC addresses, the security appliance uses the following order of preference to determine which virtual MAC address is assigned to an interface: 1. The mac-address command (in interface configuration mode) address. 2. The failover mac address command address. 3. The mac-address auto command generated address. 4. The burned-in MAC address. Use the show interface command to display the MAC address used by an interface. Configuring Active/Active Failover This section describes how to configure Active/Active failover. Note Active/Active failover is not available on the ASA 5505 series adaptive security appliance. This section includes the following topics: • Prerequisites, page 14-27 • Configuring Cable-Based Active/Active Failover (PIX security appliance), page 14-27 • Configuring LAN-Based Active/Active Failover, page 14-29 • Configuring Optional Active/Active Failover Settings, page 14-33 Prerequisites Before you begin, verify the following: • Both units have the same hardware, software configuration, and proper license. • Both units are in multiple context mode. Configuring Cable-Based Active/Active Failover (PIX security appliance) Follow these steps to configure Active/Active failover using a serial cable as the failover link. The commands in this task are entered on the primary unit in the failover pair. The primary unit is the unit that has the end of the cable labeled “Primary” plugged into it. For devices in multiple context mode, the commands are entered in the system execution space unless otherwise noted. You do not need to bootstrap the secondary unit in the failover pair when you use cable-based failover. Leave the secondary unit powered off until instructed to power it on. 14-28 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Configuring Failover Cable-based failover is only available on the PIX 500 series security appliance. To configure cable-based, Active/Active failover, perform the following steps: Step 1 Connect the failover cable to the PIX 500 series security appliances. Make sure that you attach the end of the cable marked “Primary” to the unit you use as the primary unit, and that you attach the end of the cable marked “Secondary” to the unit you use as the secondary unit. Step 2 Power on the primary unit. Step 3 If you have not done so already, configure the active and standby IP addresses for each data interface (routed mode), for the management IP address (transparent mode), or for the management-only interface. To receive packets from both units in a failover pair, standby IP addresses need to be configured on all interfaces. The standby IP address is used on the security appliance that is currently the standby unit, and it must be in the same subnet as the active IP address. You must configure the interface addresses from within each context. Use the changeto context command to switch between contexts. The command prompt changes to hostname/context(config-if)#, where context is the name of the current context. You must enter a management IP address for each context in transparent firewall multiple context mode. Note Do not configure an IP address for the Stateful Failover link if you are going to use a dedicated Stateful Failover interface. You use the failover interface ip command to configure a dedicated Stateful Failover interface in a later step. hostname/context(config-if)# ip address active_addr netmask standby standby_addr In routed firewall mode and for the management-only interface, this command is entered in interface configuration mode for each interface. In transparent firewall mode, the command is entered in global configuration mode. Step 4 (Optional) To enable Stateful Failover, configure the Stateful Failover link. a. Specify the interface to be used as Stateful Failover link: hostname(config)# failover link if_name phy_if The if_name argument assigns a logical name to the interface specified by the phy_if argument. The phy_if argument can be the physical port name, such as Ethernet1, or a previously created subinterface, such as Ethernet0/2.3. This interface should not be used for any other purpose (except, optionally, the failover link). b. Assign an active and standby IP address to the Stateful Failover link: hostname(config)# failover interface ip if_name ip_addr mask standby ip_addr The standby IP address must be in the same subnet as the active IP address. You do not need to identify the standby IP address subnet mask. The Stateful Failover link IP address and MAC address do not change at failover except for when Stateful Failover uses a regular data interface. The active IP address always stays with the primary unit, while the standby IP address stays with the secondary unit. c. Enable the interface: hostname(config)# interface phy_if hostname(config-if)# no shutdown Step 5 Configure the failover groups. You can have at most two failover groups. The failover group command creates the specified failover group if it does not exist and enters the failover group configuration mode. 14-29 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Configuring Failover For each failover group, you need to specify whether the failover group has primary or secondary preference using the primary or secondary command. You can assign the same preference to both failover groups. For load balancing configurations, you should assign each failover group a different unit preference. The following example assigns failover group 1 a primary preference and failover group 2 a secondary preference: hostname(config)# failover group 1 hostname(config-fover-group)# primary hostname(config-fover-group)# exit hostname(config)# failover group 2 hostname(config-fover-group)# secondary hostname(config-fover-group)# exit Step 6 Assign each user context to a failover group using the join-failover-group command in context configuration mode. Any unassigned contexts are automatically assigned to failover group 1. The admin context is always a member of failover group 1. Enter the following commands to assign each context to a failover group: hostname(config)# context context_name hostname(config-context)# join-failover-group {1 | 2} hostname(config-context)# exit Step 7 Enable failover: hostname(config)# failover Step 8 Power on the secondary unit and enable failover on the unit if it is not already enabled: hostname(config)# failover The active unit sends the configuration in running memory to the standby unit. As the configuration synchronizes, the messages “Beginning configuration replication: Sending to mate” and “End Configuration Replication to mate” appear on the primary console. Step 9 Save the configuration to Flash memory on the Primary unit. Because the commands entered on the primary unit are replicated to the secondary unit, the secondary unit also saves its configuration to Flash memory. hostname(config)# copy running-config startup-config Step 10 If necessary, force any failover group that is active on the primary to the active state on the secondary. To force a failover group to become active on the secondary unit, issue the following command in the system execution space on the primary unit: hostname# no failover active group group_id The group_id argument specifies the group you want to become active on the secondary unit. Configuring LAN-Based Active/Active Failover This section describes how to configure Active/Active failover using an Ethernet failover link. When configuring LAN-based failover, you must bootstrap the secondary device to recognize the failover link before the secondary device can obtain the running configuration from the primary device. This section includes the following topics: 14-30 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Configuring Failover • Configure the Primary Unit, page 14-30 • Configure the Secondary Unit, page 14-32 Configure the Primary Unit To configure the primary unit in an Active/Active failover configuration, perform the following steps: Step 1 If you have not done so already, configure the active and standby IP addresses for each data interface (routed mode), for the management IP address (transparent mode), or for the management-only interface.To receive packets from both units in a failover pair, standby IP addresses need to be configured on all interfaces. The standby IP address is used on the security appliance that is currently the standby unit, and it must be in the same subnet as the active IP address. You must configure the interface addresses from within each context. Use the changeto context command to switch between contexts. The command prompt changes to hostname/context(config-if)#, where context is the name of the current context. In transparent firewall mode, you must enter a management IP address for each context. Note Do not configure an IP address for the Stateful Failover link if you are going to use a dedicated Stateful Failover interface. You use the failover interface ip command to configure a dedicated Stateful Failover interface in a later step. hostname/context(config-if)# ip address active_addr netmask standby standby_addr In routed firewall mode and for the management-only interface, this command is entered in interface configuration mode for each interface. In transparent firewall mode, the command is entered in global configuration mode. Step 2 Configure the basic failover parameters in the system execution space. a. (PIX security appliance only) Enable LAN-based failover: hostname(config)# hostname(config)# failover lan enable b. Designate the unit as the primary unit: hostname(config)# failover lan unit primary c. Specify the failover link: hostname(config)# failover lan interface if_name phy_if The if_name argument assigns a logical name to the interface specified by the phy_if argument. The phy_if argument can be the physical port name, such as Ethernet1, or a previously created subinterface, such as Ethernet0/2.3. On the ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance, the phy_if specifies a VLAN. This interface should not be used for any other purpose (except, optionally, the Stateful Failover link). d. Specify the failover link active and standby IP addresses: hostname(config)# failover interface ip if_name ip_addr mask standby ip_addr The standby IP address must be in the same subnet as the active IP address. You do not need to identify the standby IP address subnet mask. The failover link IP address and MAC address do not change at failover. The active IP address always stays with the primary unit, while the standby IP address stays with the secondary unit. 14-31 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Configuring Failover Step 3 (Optional) To enable Stateful Failover, configure the Stateful Failover link: a. Specify the interface to be used as Stateful Failover link: hostname(config)# failover link if_name phy_if The if_name argument assigns a logical name to the interface specified by the phy_if argument. The phy_if argument can be the physical port name, such as Ethernet1, or a previously created subinterface, such as Ethernet0/2.3. This interface should not be used for any other purpose (except, optionally, the failover link). Note If the Stateful Failover link uses the failover link or a regular data interface, then you only need to supply the if_name argument. b. Assign an active and standby IP address to the Stateful Failover link. Note If the Stateful Failover link uses the failover link or a regular data interface, skip this step. You have already defined the active and standby IP addresses for the interface. hostname(config)# failover interface ip if_name ip_addr mask standby ip_addr The standby IP address must be in the same subnet as the active IP address. You do not need to identify the standby address subnet mask. The state link IP address and MAC address do not change at failover. The active IP address always stays with the primary unit, while the standby IP address stays with the secondary unit. c. Enable the interface. Note If the Stateful Failover link uses the failover link or regular data interface, skip this step. You have already enabled the interface. hostname(config)# interface phy_if hostname(config-if)# no shutdown Step 4 Configure the failover groups. You can have at most two failover groups. The failover group command creates the specified failover group if it does not exist and enters the failover group configuration mode. For each failover group, specify whether the failover group has primary or secondary preference using the primary or secondary command. You can assign the same preference to both failover groups. For load balancing configurations, you should assign each failover group a different unit preference. The following example assigns failover group 1 a primary preference and failover group 2 a secondary preference: hostname(config)# failover group 1 hostname(config-fover-group)# primary hostname(config-fover-group)# exit hostname(config)# failover group 2 hostname(config-fover-group)# secondary hostname(config-fover-group)# exit Step 5 Assign each user context to a failover group using the join-failover-group command in context configuration mode. Any unassigned contexts are automatically assigned to failover group 1. The admin context is always a member of failover group 1. 14-32 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Configuring Failover Enter the following commands to assign each context to a failover group: hostname(config)# context context_name hostname(config-context)# join-failover-group {1 | 2} hostname(config-context)# exit Step 6 Enable failover: hostname(config)# failover Configure the Secondary Unit When configuring LAN-based Active/Active failover, you need to bootstrap the secondary unit to recognize the failover link. This allows the secondary unit to communicate with and receive the running configuration from the primary unit. To bootstrap the secondary unit in an Active/Active failover configuration, perform the following steps: Step 1 (PIX security appliance only) Enable LAN-based failover: hostname(config)# failover lan enable Step 2 Define the failover interface. Use the same settings as you used for the primary unit: a. Specify the interface to be used as the failover interface: hostname(config)# failover lan interface if_name phy_if The if_name argument assigns a logical name to the interface specified by the phy_if argument. The phy_if argument can be the physical port name, such as Ethernet1, or a previously created subinterface, such as Ethernet0/2.3. On the ASA 5505 adaptive security appliance, the phy_if specifies a VLAN. b. Assign the active and standby IP address to the failover link. To receive packets from both units in a failover pair, standby IP addresses need to be configured on all interfaces. hostname(config)# failover interface ip if_name ip_addr mask standby ip_addr Note Enter this command exactly as you entered it on the primary unit when you configured the failover interface. The standby IP address must be in the same subnet as the active IP address. You do not need to identify the standby address subnet mask. c. Enable the interface: hostname(config)# interface phy_if hostname(config-if)# no shutdown Step 3 (Optional) Designate this unit as the secondary unit: hostname(config)# failover lan unit secondary Note This step is optional because by default units are designated as secondary unless previously configured otherwise. 14-33 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Configuring Failover Step 4 Enable failover: hostname(config)# failover After you enable failover, the active unit sends the configuration in running memory to the standby unit. As the configuration synchronizes, the messages Beginning configuration replication: Sending to mate and End Configuration Replication to mate appear on the active unit console. Step 5 After the running configuration has completed replication, enter the following command to save the configuration to Flash memory: hostname(config)# copy running-config startup-config Step 6 If necessary, force any failover group that is active on the primary to the active state on the secondary unit. To force a failover group to become active on the secondary unit, enter the following command in the system execution space on the primary unit: hostname# no failover active group group_id The group_id argument specifies the group you want to become active on the secondary unit. Configuring Optional Active/Active Failover Settings The following optional Active/Active failover settings can be configured when you are initially configuring failover or after you have already established failover. Unless otherwise noted, the commands should be entered on the unit that has failover group 1 in the active state. This section includes the following topics: • Configuring Failover Group Preemption, page 14-33 • Enabling HTTP Replication with Stateful Failover, page 14-34 • Disabling and Enabling Interface Monitoring, page 14-34 • Configuring Interface Health Monitoring, page 14-34 • Configuring Failover Criteria, page 14-34 • Configuring Virtual MAC Addresses, page 14-35 • Configuring Asymmetric Routing Support, page 14-35 Configuring Failover Group Preemption Assigning a primary or secondary priority to a failover group specifies which unit the failover group becomes active on when both units boot simultaneously. However, if one unit boots before the other, then both failover groups become active on that unit. When the other unit comes online, any failover groups that have the unit as a priority do not become active on that unit unless manually forced over, a failover occurs, or the failover group is configured with the preempt command. The preempt command causes a failover group to become active on the designated unit automatically when that unit becomes available. Enter the following commands to configure preemption for the specified failover group: hostname(config)# failover group {1 | 2} hostname(config-fover-group)# preempt [delay] You can enter an optional delay value, which specifies the number of seconds the failover group remains active on the current unit before automatically becoming active on the designated unit. 14-34 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Configuring Failover Enabling HTTP Replication with Stateful Failover To allow HTTP connections to be included in the state information, you need to enable HTTP replication. Because HTTP connections are typically short-lived, and because HTTP clients typically retry failed connection attempts, HTTP connections are not automatically included in the replicated state information. You can use the replication http command to cause a failover group to replicate HTTP state information when Stateful Failover is enabled. To enable HTTP state replication for a failover group, enter the following command. This command only affects the failover group in which it was configured. To enable HTTP state replication for both failover groups, you must enter this command in each group. This command should be entered in the system execution space. hostname(config)# failover group {1 | 2} hostname(config-fover-group)# replication http Disabling and Enabling Interface Monitoring You can monitor up to 250 interfaces on a unit. By default, monitoring of physical interfaces is enabled and the monitoring of subinterfaces is disabled. You can control which interfaces affect your failover policy by disabling the monitoring of specific interfaces and enabling the monitoring of others. This lets you exclude interfaces attached to less critical networks from affecting your failover policy. To disable health monitoring on an interface, enter the following command within a context: hostname/context(config)# no monitor-interface if_name To enable health monitoring on an interface, enter the following command within a context: hostname/context(config)# monitor-interface if_name Configuring Interface Health Monitoring The security appliance sends hello packets out of each data interface to monitor interface health. If the security appliance does not receive a hello packet from the corresponding interface on the peer unit for over half of the hold time, then the additional interface testing begins. If a hello packet or a successful test result is not received within the specified hold time, the interface is marked as failed. Failover occurs if the number of failed interfaces meets the failover criteria. Decreasing the poll and hold times enables the security appliance to detect and respond to interface failures more quickly, but may consume more system resources. To change the default interface poll time, enter the following commands: hostname(config)# failover group {1 | 2} hostname(config-fover-group)# polltime interface seconds Valid values for the poll time are from 1 to 15 seconds or, if the optional msec keyword is used, from 500 to 999 milliseconds. The hold time determines how long it takes from the time a hello packet is missed to when the interface is marked as failed. Valid values for the hold time are from 5 to 75 seconds. You cannot enter a hold time that is less than 5 times the poll time. Configuring Failover Criteria By default, if a single interface fails failover occurs. You can specify a specific number of interfaces or a percentage of monitored interfaces that must fail before a failover occurs. The failover criteria is specified on a failover group basis. 14-35 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Configuring Failover To change the default failover criteria for the specified failover group, enter the following commands: hostname(config)# failover group {1 | 2} hostname(config-fover-group)# interface-policy num[%] When specifying a specific number of interfaces, the num argument can be from 1 to 250. When specifying a percentage of interfaces, the num argument can be from 1 to 100. Configuring Virtual MAC Addresses Active/Active failover uses virtual MAC addresses on all interfaces. If you do not specify the virtual MAC addresses, then they are computed as follows: • Active unit default MAC address: 00a0.c9physical_port_number.failover_group_id01. • Standby unit default MAC address: 00a0.c9physical_port_number.failover_group_id02. Note If you have more than one Active/Active failover pair on the same network, it is possible to have the same default virtual MAC addresses assigned to the interfaces on one pair as are assigned to the interfaces of the other pairs because of the way the default virtual MAC addresses are determined. To avoid having duplicate MAC addresses on your network, make sure you assign each physical interface a virtual active and standby MAC address for all failover groups. You can configure specific active and standby MAC addresses for an interface by entering the following commands: hostname(config)# failover group {1 | 2} hostname(config-fover-group)# mac address phy_if active_mac standby_mac The phy_if argument is the physical name of the interface, such as Ethernet1. The active_mac and standby_mac arguments are MAC addresses in H.H.H format, where H is a 16-bit hexadecimal digit. For example, the MAC address 00-0C-F1-42-4C-DE would be entered as 000C.F142.4CDE. The active_mac address is associated with the active IP address for the interface, and the standby_mac is associated with the standby IP address for the interface. There are multiple ways to configure virtual MAC addresses on the security appliance. When more than one method has been used to configure virtual MAC addresses, the security appliance uses the following order of preference to determine which virtual MAC address is assigned to an interface: 1. The mac-address command (in interface configuration mode) address. 2. The failover mac address command address. 3. The mac-address auto command generate address. 4. The automatically generated failover MAC address. Use the show interface command to display the MAC address used by an interface. Configuring Asymmetric Routing Support When running in Active/Active failover, a unit may receive a return packet for a connection that originated through its peer unit. Because the security appliance that receives the packet does not have any connection information for the packet, the packet is dropped. This most commonly occurs when the two security appliances in an Active/Active failover pair are connected to different service providers and the outbound connection does not use a NAT address. 14-36 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Configuring Failover You can prevent the return packets from being dropped using the asr-group command on interfaces where this is likely to occur. When an interface configured with the asr-group command receives a packet for which it has no session information, it checks the session information for the other interfaces that are in the same group. If it does not find a match, the packet is dropped. If it finds a match, then one of the following actions occurs: • If the incoming traffic originated on a peer unit, some or all of the layer 2 header is rewritten and the packet is redirected to the other unit. This redirection continues as long as the session is active. • If the incoming traffic originated on a different interface on the same unit, some or all of the layer 2 header is rewritten and the packet is reinjected into the stream. Note Using the asr-group command to configure asymmetric routing support is more secure than using the static command with the nailed option. The asr-group command does not provide asymmetric routing; it restores asymmetrically routed packets to the correct interface. Prerequisites You must have to following configured for asymmetric routing support to function properly: • Active/Active Failover • Stateful Failover—passes state information for sessions on interfaces in the active failover group to the standby failover group. • replication http—HTTP session state information is not passed to the standby failover group, and therefore is not present on the standby interface. For the security appliance to be able re-route asymmetrically routed HTTP packets, you need to replicate the HTTP state information. You can configure the asr-group command on an interface without having failover configured, but it does not have any effect until Stateful Failover is enabled. Configuring Support for Asymmetrically Routed Packets To configure support for asymmetrically routed packets, perform the following steps: Step 1 Configure Active/Active Stateful Failover for the failover pair. See Configuring Active/Active Failover, page 14-27. Step 2 For each interface that you want to participate in asymmetric routing support enter the following command. You must enter the command on the unit where the context is in the active state so that the command is replicated to the standby failover group. For more information about command replication, see Command Replication, page 14-12. hostname/ctx(config)# interface phy_if hostname/ctx(config-if)# asr-group num Valid values for num range from 1 to 32. You need to enter the command for each interface that participates in the asymmetric routing group. You can view the number of ASR packets transmitted, received, or dropped by an interface using the show interface detail command. You can have more than one ASR group configured on the security appliance, but only one per interface. Only members of the same ASR group are checked for session information. 14-37 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Configuring Failover Example Figure 14-1 shows an example of using the asr-group command for asymmetric routing support.

An outbound session passes through security appliance SecAppA. It exits interface outsideISP-A (192.168.1.1). 2. Because of asymmetric routing configured somewhere upstream, the return traffic comes back through the interface outsideISP-B (192.168.2.2) on security appliance SecAppB. 3. Normally the return traffic would be dropped because there is no session information for the traffic on interface 192.168.2.2. However, the interface is configure with the command asr-group 1. The unit looks for the session on any other interface configured with the same ASR group ID. 4. The session information is found on interface outsideISP-A (192.168.1.2), which is in the standby state on the unit SecAppB. Stateful Failover replicated the session information from SecAppA to SecAppB. 5. Instead of being dropped, the layer 2 header is re-written with information for interface 192.168.1.1 and the traffic is redirected out of the interface 192.168.1.2, where it can then return through the interface on the unit from which it originated (192.168.1.1 on SecAppA). This forwarding continues as needed until the session ends. 14-39 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Configuring Failover Configuring Unit Health Monitoring The security appliance sends hello packets over the failover interface to monitor unit health. If the standby unit does not receive a hello packet from the active unit for two consecutive polling periods, it sends additional testing packets through the remaining device interfaces. If a hello packet or a response to the interface test packets is not received within the specified hold time, the standby unit becomes active. You can configure the frequency of hello messages when monitoring unit health. Decreasing the poll time allows a unit failure to be detected more quickly, but consumes more system resources. To change the unit poll time, enter the following command in global configuration mode: hostname(config)# failover polltime [msec] time [holdtime [msec] time] You can configure the polling frequency from 1 to 15 seconds or, if the optional msec keyword is used, from 200 to 999 milliseconds. The hold time determines how long it takes from the time a hello packet is missed to when failover occurs. The hold time must be at least 3 times the poll time. You can configure the hold time from 1 to 45 seconds or, if the optional msec keyword is used, from 800 to 990 milliseconds. Setting the security appliance to use the minimum poll and hold times allows it to detect and respond to unit failures in under a second, but it also increases system resource usage and can cause false failure detection in cases where the networks are congested or where the security appliance is running near full capacity. Configuring Failover Communication Authentication/Encryption You can encrypt and authenticate the communication between failover peers by specifying a shared secret or hexadecimal key. Note On the PIX 500 series security appliance, if you are using the dedicated serial failover cable to connect the units, then communication over the failover link is not encrypted even if a failover key is configured. The failover key only encrypts LAN-based failover communication. Caution All information sent over the failover and Stateful Failover links is sent in clear text unless you secure the communication with a failover key. If the security appliance is used to terminate VPN tunnels, this information includes any usernames, passwords and preshared keys used for establishing the tunnels. Transmitting this sensitive data in clear text could pose a significant security risk. We recommend securing the failover communication with a failover key if you are using the security appliance to terminate VPN tunnels. Enter the following command on the active unit of an Active/Standby failover pair or on the unit that has failover group 1 in the active state of an Active/Active failover pair: hostname(config)# failover key {secret | hex key} The secret argument specifies a shared secret that is used to generate the encryption key. It can be from 1 to 63 characters. The characters can be any combination of numbers, letters, or punctuation. The hex key argument specifies a hexadecimal encryption key. The key must be 32 hexadecimal characters (0-9, a-f). 14-40 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Configuring Failover Note To prevent the failover key from being replicated to the peer unit in clear text for an existing failover configuration, disable failover on the active unit (or in the system execution space on the unit that has failover group 1 in the active state), enter the failover key on both units, and then re-enable failover. When failover is re-enabled, the failover communication is encrypted with the key. For new LAN-based failover configurations, the failover key command should be part of the failover pair bootstrap configuration. Verifying the Failover Configuration This section describes how to verify your failover configuration. This section includes the following topics: • Using the show failover Command, page 14-40 • Viewing Monitored Interfaces, page 14-48 • Displaying the Failover Commands in the Running Configuration, page 14-48 • Testing the Failover Functionality, page 14-49 Using the show failover Command This section describes the show failover command output. On each unit you can verify the failover status by entering the show failover command. The information displayed depends upon whether you are using Active/Standby or Active/Active failover. This section includes the following topics: • show failover—Active/Standby, page 14-40 • Show Failover—Active/Active, page 14-44 show failover—Active/Standby The following is sample output from the show failover command for Active/Standby Failover.

Step 2 Force a failover to the standby unit by entering the following command: • For Active/Standby failover, enter the following command on the active unit: hostname(config)# no failover active • For Active/Active failover, enter the following command on the unit where the failover group containing the interface connecting your hosts is active: hostname(config)# no failover active group group_id Step 3 Use FTP to send another file between the same two hosts. Step 4 If the test was not successful, enter the show failover command to check the failover status. Step 5 When you are finished, you can restore the unit or failover group to active status by enter the following command: • For Active/Standby failover, enter the following command on the active unit: hostname(config)# failover active • For Active/Active failover, enter the following command on the unit where the failover group containing the interface connecting your hosts is active: hostname(config)# failover active group group_id Controlling and Monitoring Failover This sections describes how to control and monitor failover. This section includes the following topics: • Forcing Failover, page 14-49 • Disabling Failover, page 14-50 • Restoring a Failed Unit or Failover Group, page 14-50 • Monitoring Failover, page 14-50 Forcing Failover To force the standby unit or failover group to become active, enter one of the following commands: • For Active/Standby failover: Enter the following command on the standby unit: hostname# failover active Or, enter the following command on the active unit: 14-50 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Controlling and Monitoring Failover hostname# no failover active • For Active/Active failover: Enter the following command in the system execution space of the unit where the failover group is in the standby state: hostname# failover active group group_id Or, enter the following command in the system execution space of the unit where the failover group is in the active state: hostname# no failover active group group_id Entering the following command in the system execution space causes all failover groups to become active: hostname# failover active Disabling Failover To disable failover, enter the following command: hostname(config)# no failover Disabling failover on an Active/Standby pair causes the active and standby state of each unit to be maintained until you restart. For example, the standby unit remains in standby mode so that both units do not start passing traffic. To make the standby unit active (even with failover disabled), see the “Forcing Failover” section on page 14-49. Disabling failover on an Active/Active pair causes the failover groups to remain in the active state on whichever unit they are currently active on, no matter which unit they are configured to prefer. The no failover command should be entered in the system execution space. Restoring a Failed Unit or Failover Group To restore a failed unit to an unfailed state, enter the following command: hostname(config)# failover reset To restore a failed Active/Active failover group to an unfailed state, enter the following command: hostname(config)# failover reset group group_id Restoring a failed unit or group to an unfailed state does not automatically make it active; restored units or groups remain in the standby state until made active by failover (forced or natural). An exception is a failover group configured with the preempt command. If previously active, a failover group becomes active if it is configured with the preempt command and if the unit on which it failed is the preferred unit. Monitoring Failover When a failover occurs, both security appliances send out system messages. This section includes the following topics: • Failover System Messages, page 14-51 14-51 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Controlling and Monitoring Failover • Debug Messages, page 14-51 • SNMP, page 14-51 Failover System Messages The security appliance issues a number of system messages related to failover at priority level 2, which indicates a critical condition. To view these messages, see the Cisco Security Appliance Logging Configuration and System Log Messages to enable logging and to see descriptions of the system messages. Note During switchover, failover logically shuts down and then bring up interfaces, generating syslog 411001 and 411002 messages. This is normal activity. Debug Messages To see debug messages, enter the debug fover command. See the Cisco Security Appliance Command Reference for more information. Note Because debugging output is assigned high priority in the CPU process, it can drastically affect system performance. For this reason, use the debug fover commands only to troubleshoot specific problems or during troubleshooting sessions with Cisco TAC. SNMP To receive SNMP syslog traps for failover, configure the SNMP agent to send SNMP traps to SNMP management stations, define a syslog host, and compile the Cisco syslog MIB into your SNMP management station. See the snmp-server and logging commands in the Cisco Security Appliance Command Reference for more information. 14-52 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 14 Configuring Failover Controlling and Monitoring Failover P A R T 2 Configuring the Firewall CH A P T E R 15-1 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 15 Firewall Mode Overview This chapter describes how the firewall works in each firewall mode. To set the firewall mode, see the “Setting Transparent or Routed Firewall Mode” section on page 2-5. Note In multiple context mode, you cannot set the firewall mode separately for each context; you can only set the firewall mode for the entire security appliance. This chapter includes the following sections: • Routed Mode Overview, page 15-1 • Transparent Mode Overview, page 15-8 Routed Mode Overview In routed mode, the security appliance is considered to be a router hop in the network. It can perform NAT between connected networks, and can use OSPF or RIP (in single context mode). Routed mode supports many interfaces. Each interface is on a different subnet. You can share interfaces between contexts. This section includes the following topics: • IP Routing Support, page 15-1 • Network Address Translation, page 15-2 • How Data Moves Through the Security Appliance in Routed Firewall Mode, page 15-3 IP Routing Support The security appliance acts as a router between connected networks, and each interface requires an IP address on a different subnet. In single context mode, the routed firewall supports OSPF and RIP. Multiple context mode supports static routes only. We recommend using the advanced routing capabilities of the upstream and downstream routers instead of relying on the security appliance for extensive routing needs. 15-2 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 15 Firewall Mode Overview Routed Mode Overview Network Address Translation NAT substitutes the local address on a packet with a global address that is routable on the destination network. By default, NAT is not required. If you want to enforce a NAT policy that requires hosts on a higher security interface (inside) to use NAT when communicating with a lower security interface (outside), you can enable NAT control (see the nat-control command). Note NAT control was the default behavior for software versions earlier than Version 7.0. If you upgrade a security appliance from an earlier version, then the nat-control command is automatically added to your configuration to maintain the expected behavior. Some of the benefits of NAT include the following: • You can use private addresses on your inside networks. Private addresses are not routable on the Internet. • NAT hides the local addresses from other networks, so attackers cannot learn the real address of a host. • NAT can resolve IP routing problems by supporting overlapping IP addresses. Figure 15-1 shows a typical NAT scenario, with a private network on the inside. When the inside user sends a packet to a web server on the Internet, the local source address of the packet is changed to a routable global address. When the web server responds, it sends the response to the global address, and the security appliance receives the packet. The security appliance then translates the global address to the local address before sending it on to the user.

Figure 15-2 Inside to Outside The following steps describe how data moves through the security appliance (see Figure 15-2): 1. The user on the inside network requests a web page from www.example.com. 2. The security appliance receives the packet and because it is a new session, the security appliance verifies that the packet is allowed according to the terms of the security policy (access lists, filters, AAA). Web Server 10.1.1.3 www.example.com User 10.1.2.27 209.165.201.2 10.1.2.1 10.1.1.1 Source Addr Translation 10.1.2.27 209.165.201.10 Outside Inside DMZ 92404 15-4 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 15 Firewall Mode Overview Routed Mode Overview For multiple context mode, the security appliance first classifies the packet according to either a unique interface or a unique destination address associated with a context; the destination address is associated by matching an address translation in a context. In this case, the interface would be unique; the www.example.com IP address does not have a current address translation in a context. 3. The security appliance translates the local source address (10.1.2.27) to the global address 209.165.201.10, which is on the outside interface subnet. The global address could be on any subnet, but routing is simplified when it is on the outside interface subnet. 4. The security appliance then records that a session is established and forwards the packet from the outside interface. 5. When www.example.com responds to the request, the packet goes through the security appliance, and because the session is already established, the packet bypasses the many lookups associated with a new connection. The security appliance performs NAT by translating the global destination address to the local user address, 10.1.2.27. 6. The security appliance forwards the packet to the inside user. An Outside User Visits a Web Server on the DMZ Figure 15-3 shows an outside user accessing the DMZ web server.

A user on the outside network requests a web page from the DMZ web server using the global destination address of 209.165.201.3, which is on the outside interface subnet. 2. The security appliance receives the packet and because it is a new session, the security appliance verifies that the packet is allowed according to the terms of the security policy (access lists, filters, AAA). For multiple context mode, the security appliance first classifies the packet according to either a unique interface or a unique destination address associated with a context; the destination address is associated by matching an address translation in a context. In this case, the classifier “knows” that the DMZ web server address belongs to a certain context because of the server address translation. 3. The security appliance translates the destination address to the local address 10.1.1.3. 4. The security appliance then adds a session entry to the fast path and forwards the packet from the DMZ interface. 5. When the DMZ web server responds to the request, the packet goes through the security appliance and because the session is already established, the packet bypasses the many lookups associated with a new connection. The security appliance performs NAT by translating the local source address to 209.165.201.3. 6. The security appliance forwards the packet to the outside user. 15-6 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 15 Firewall Mode Overview Routed Mode Overview An Inside User Visits a Web Server on the DMZ Figure 15-4 shows an inside user accessing the DMZ web server.

Figure 15-5 Outside to Inside The following steps describe how data moves through the security appliance (see Figure 15-5): 1. A user on the outside network attempts to reach an inside host (assuming the host has a routable IP address). If the inside network uses private addresses, no outside user can reach the inside network without NAT. The outside user might attempt to reach an inside user by using an existing NAT session. 2. The security appliance receives the packet and because it is a new session, the security appliance verifies if the packet is allowed according to the security policy (access lists, filters, AAA). 3. The packet is denied, and the security appliance drops the packet and logs the connection attempt. If the outside user is attempting to attack the inside network, the security appliance employs many technologies to determine if a packet is valid for an already established session. www.example.com User 10.1.2.27 209.165.201.2 10.1.2.1 10.1.1.1 Outside Inside DMZ 92407 15-8 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 15 Firewall Mode Overview Transparent Mode Overview A DMZ User Attempts to Access an Inside Host Figure 15-6 shows a user in the DMZ attempting to access the inside network. Figure 15-6 DMZ to Inside The following steps describe how data moves through the security appliance (see Figure 15-6): 1. A user on the DMZ network attempts to reach an inside host. Because the DMZ does not have to route the traffic on the internet, the private addressing scheme does not prevent routing. 2. The security appliance receives the packet and because it is a new session, the security appliance verifies if the packet is allowed according to the security policy (access lists, filters, AAA). 3. The packet is denied, and the security appliance drops the packet and logs the connection attempt. Transparent Mode Overview Traditionally, a firewall is a routed hop and acts as a default gateway for hosts that connect to one of its screened subnets. A transparent firewall, on the other hand, is a Layer 2 firewall that acts like a “bump in the wire,” or a “stealth firewall,” and is not seen as a router hop to connected devices. This section describes transparent firewall mode, and includes the following topics: • Transparent Firewall Network, page 15-9 • Allowing Layer 3 Traffic, page 15-9 • Passing Traffic Not Allowed in Routed Mode, page 15-9 • MAC Address Lookups, page 15-10 • Using the Transparent Firewall in Your Network, page 15-10 • Transparent Firewall Guidelines, page 15-10 Web Server 10.1.1.3 User 10.1.2.27 209.165.201.2 10.1.2.1 10.1.1.1 Outside Inside DMZ 92402 15-9 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 15 Firewall Mode Overview Transparent Mode Overview • Unsupported Features in Transparent Mode, page 15-11 • How Data Moves Through the Transparent Firewall, page 15-13 Transparent Firewall Network The security appliance connects the same network on its inside and outside interfaces. Because the firewall is not a routed hop, you can easily introduce a transparent firewall into an existing network; IP readdressing is unnecessary. Allowing Layer 3 Traffic IPv4 traffic is allowed through the transparent firewall automatically from a higher security interface to a lower security interface, without an access list. ARPs are allowed through the transparent firewall in both directions without an access list. ARP traffic can be controlled by ARP inspection. For Layer 3 traffic travelling from a low to a high security interface, an extended access list is required. Allowed MAC Addresses The following destination MAC addresses are allowed through the transparent firewall. Any MAC address not on this list is dropped. • TRUE broadcast destination MAC address equal to FFFF.FFFF.FFFF • IPv4 multicast MAC addresses from 0100.5E00.0000 to 0100.5EFE.FFFF • IPv6 multicast MAC addresses from 3333.0000.0000 to 3333.FFFF.FFFF • BPDU multicast address equal to 0100.0CCC.CCCD • Appletalk multicast MAC addresses from 0900.0700.0000 to 0900.07FF.FFFF Passing Traffic Not Allowed in Routed Mode In routed mode, some types of traffic cannot pass through the security appliance even if you allow it in an access list. The transparent firewall, however, can allow almost any traffic through using either an extended access list (for IP traffic) or an EtherType access list (for non-IP traffic). Note The transparent mode security appliance does not pass CDP packets or IPv6 packets, or any packets that do not have a valid EtherType greater than or equal to 0x600. For example, you cannot pass IS-IS packets. An exception is made for BPDUs, which are supported. For example, you can establish routing protocol adjacencies through a transparent firewall; you can allow OSPF, RIP, EIGRP, or BGP traffic through based on an extended access list. Likewise, protocols like HSRP or VRRP can pass through the security appliance. Non-IP traffic (for example AppleTalk, IPX, BPDUs, and MPLS) can be configured to go through using an EtherType access list. 15-10 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 15 Firewall Mode Overview Transparent Mode Overview For features that are not directly supported on the transparent firewall, you can allow traffic to pass through so that upstream and downstream routers can support the functionality. For example, by using an extended access list, you can allow DHCP traffic (instead of the unsupported DHCP relay feature) or multicast traffic such as that created by IP/TV. MAC Address Lookups When the security appliance runs in transparent mode, the outgoing interface of a packet is determined by performing a MAC address lookup instead of a route lookup. Route statements can still be configured, but they only apply to security appliance-originated traffic. For example, if your syslog server is located on a remote network, you must use a static route so the security appliance can reach that subnet. Using the Transparent Firewall in Your Network Figure 15-7 shows a typical transparent firewall network where the outside devices are on the same subnet as the inside devices. The inside router and hosts appear to be directly connected to the outside router. Figure 15-7 Transparent Firewall Network Transparent Firewall Guidelines Follow these guidelines when planning your transparent firewall network: 10.1.1.1 10.1.1.2 Management IP 10.1.1.3 192.168.1.2 Network A Network B Internet 92411 15-11 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 15 Firewall Mode Overview Transparent Mode Overview • A management IP address is required; for multiple context mode, an IP address is required for each context. Unlike routed mode, which requires an IP address for each interface, a transparent firewall has an IP address assigned to the entire device. The security appliance uses this IP address as the source address for packets originating on the security appliance, such as system messages or AAA communications. The management IP address must be on the same subnet as the connected network. You cannot set the subnet to a host subnet (255.255.255.255). You can configure an IP address for the Management 0/0 management-only interface. This IP address can be on a separate subnet from the main management IP address. Note If the management IP address is not configured, transient traffic does not pass through the transparent firewall. For multiple context mode, transient traffic does not pass through virtual contexts. • The transparent security appliance uses an inside interface and an outside interface only. If your platform includes a dedicated management interface, you can also configure the management interface or subinterface for management traffic only. In single mode, you can only use two data interfaces (and the dedicated management interface, if available) even if your security appliance includes more than two interfaces. • Each directly connected network must be on the same subnet. • Do not specify the security appliance management IP address as the default gateway for connected devices; devices need to specify the router on the other side of the security appliance as the default gateway. • For multiple context mode, each context must use different interfaces; you cannot share an interface across contexts. • For multiple context mode, each context typically uses a different subnet. You can use overlapping subnets, but your network topology requires router and NAT configuration to make it possible from a routing standpoint. Unsupported Features in Transparent Mode Table 15-1 lists the features are not supported in transparent mode. Table 15-1 Unsupported Features in Transparent Mode Feature Description Dynamic DNS — DHCP relay The transparent firewall can act as a DHCP server, but it does not support the DHCP relay commands. DHCP relay is not required because you can allow DHCP traffic to pass through using two extended access lists: one that allows DCHP requests from the inside interface to the outside, and one that allows the replies from the server in the other direction. 15-12 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 15 Firewall Mode Overview Transparent Mode Overview Dynamic routing protocols You can, however, add static routes for traffic originating on the security appliance. You can also allow dynamic routing protocols through the security appliance using an extended access list. IPv6 You also cannot allow IPv6 using an EtherType access list. Multicast You can allow multicast traffic through the security appliance by allowing it in an extended access list. NAT NAT is performed on the upstream router. QoS — VPN termination for through traffic The transparent firewall supports site-to-site VPN tunnels for management connections only. It does not terminate VPN connections for traffic through the security appliance. You can pass VPN traffic through the security appliance using an extended access list, but it does not terminate non-management connections. WebVPN is also not supported.

The security appliance has an access list so that the inside users can access Internet resources. Another access list lets the outside users access only the web server on the inside network.

The user on the inside network requests a web page from www.example.com. 2. The security appliance receives the packet and adds the source MAC address to the MAC address table, if required. Because it is a new session, it verifies that the packet is allowed according to the terms of the security policy (access lists, filters, AAA). For multiple context mode, the security appliance first classifies the packet according to a unique interface. 3. The security appliance records that a session is established. 4. If the destination MAC address is in its table, the security appliance forwards the packet out of the outside interface. The destination MAC address is that of the upstream router, 209.186.201.2. If the destination MAC address is not in the security appliance table, the security appliance attempts to discover the MAC address by sending an ARP request and a ping. The first packet is dropped. 5. The web server responds to the request; because the session is already established, the packet bypasses the many lookups associated with a new connection. 6.

This chapter includes the following topics: • Access List Overview, page 16-1 • Adding an Extended Access List, page 16-5 • Adding an EtherType Access List, page 16-8 • Adding a Standard Access List, page 16-11 • Adding a Webtype Access List, page 16-11 • Simplifying Access Lists with Object Grouping, page 16-11 • Adding Remarks to Access Lists, page 16-18 • Scheduling Extended Access List Activation, page 16-18 • Logging Access List Activity, page 16-20 For information about IPv6 access lists, see the “Configuring IPv6 Access Lists” section on page 12-6. Access List Overview Access lists are made up of one or more Access Control Entries. An ACE is a single entry in an access list that specifies a permit or deny rule, and is applied to a protocol, a source and destination IP address or network, and optionally the source and destination ports. Access lists are used in a variety of features. If your feature uses Modular Policy Framework, you can use an access list to identify traffic within a traffic class map. For more information on Modular Policy Framework, see Chapter 21, “Using Modular Policy Framework.” This section includes the following topics: • Access List Types, page 16-2 • Access Control Entry Order, page 16-2 • Access Control Implicit Deny, page 16-3 • IP Addresses Used for Access Lists When You Use NAT, page 16-3 16-2 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 16 Identifying Traffic with Access Lists Access List Overview Access List Types Table 16-1 lists the types of access lists and some common uses for them. Access Control Entry Order An access list is made up of one or more Access Control Entries. Depending on the access list type, you can specify the source and destination addresses, the protocol, the ports (for TCP or UDP), the ICMP type (for ICMP), or the EtherType. Each ACE that you enter for a given access list name is appended to the end of the access list. The order of ACEs is important. When the security appliance decides whether to forward or drop a packet, the security appliance tests the packet against each ACE in the order in which the entries are listed. After a match is found, no more ACEs are checked. For example, if you create an ACE at the beginning of an access list that explicitly permits all traffic, no further statements are ever checked. Table 16-1 Access List Types and Common Uses Access List Use Access List Type Description Control network access for IP traffic (routed and transparent mode) Extended The security appliance does not allow any traffic from a lower security interface to a higher security interface unless it is explicitly permitted by an extended access list. Note To access the security appliance interface for management access, you do not also need an access list allowing the host IP address. You only need to configure management access according to Chapter 40, “Managing System Access.” Identify traffic for AAA rules Extended AAA rules use access lists to identify traffic. Control network access for IP traffic for a given user Extended, downloaded from a AAA server per user You can configure the RADIUS server to download a dynamic access list to be applied to the user, or the server can send the name of an access list that you already configured on the security appliance. Identify addresses for NAT (policy NAT and NAT exemption) Extended Policy NAT lets you identify local traffic for address translation by specifying the source and destination addresses in an extended access list. Establish VPN access Extended You can use an extended access list in VPN commands. Identify traffic in a traffic class map for Modular Policy Framework Extended EtherType Access lists can be used to identify traffic in a class map, which is used for features that support Modular Policy Framework. Features that support Modular Policy Framework include TCP and general connection settings, and inspection. For transparent firewall mode, control network access for non-IP traffic EtherType You can configure an access list that controls traffic based on its EtherType. Identify OSPF route redistribution Standard Standard access lists include only the destination address. You can use a standard access list to control the redistribution of OSPF routes. Filtering for WebVPN Webtype You can configure a Webtype access list to filter URLs. 16-3 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 16 Identifying Traffic with Access Lists Access List Overview You can disable an ACE by specifying the keyword inactive in the access-list command. Access Control Implicit Deny Access lists have an implicit deny at the end of the list, so unless you explicitly permit it, traffic cannot pass. For example, if you want to allow all users to access a network through the security appliance except for particular addresses, then you need to deny the particular addresses and then permit all others. For EtherType access lists, the implicit deny at the end of the access list does not affect IP traffic or ARPs; for example, if you allow EtherType 8037, the implicit deny at the end of the access list does not now block any IP traffic that you previously allowed with an extended access list (or implicitly allowed from a high security interface to a low security interface). However, if you explicitly deny all traffic with an EtherType ACE, then IP and ARP traffic is denied. IP Addresses Used for Access Lists When You Use NAT When you use NAT, the IP addresses you specify for an access list depend on the interface to which the access list is attached; you need to use addresses that are valid on the network connected to the interface. This guideline applies for both inbound and outbound access lists: the direction does not determine the address used, only the interface does. For example, you want to apply an access list to the inbound direction of the inside interface. You configure the security appliance to perform NAT on the inside source addresses when they access outside addresses. Because the access list is applied to the inside interface, the source addresses are the original untranslated addresses. Because the outside addresses are not translated, the destination address used in the access list is the real address (see Figure 16-1). Figure 16-1 IP Addresses in Access Lists: NAT Used for Source Addresses See the following commands for this example: hostname(config)# access-list INSIDE extended permit ip 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 host 209.165.200.225 209.165.200.225 Inside Outside Inbound ACL Permit from 10.1.1.0/24 to 209.165.200.225 10.1.1.0/24 PAT 10.1.1.0/24 209.165.201.4:port 104634 16-4 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 16 Identifying Traffic with Access Lists Access List Overview hostname(config)# access-group INSIDE in interface inside If you want to allow an outside host to access an inside host, you can apply an inbound access list on the outside interface. You need to specify the translated address of the inside host in the access list because that address is the address that can be used on the outside network (see Figure 16-2). Figure 16-2 IP Addresses in Access Lists: NAT used for Destination Addresses See the following commands for this example: hostname(config)# access-list OUTSIDE extended permit ip host 209.165.200.225 host 209.165.201.5 hostname(config)# access-group OUTSIDE in interface outside 209.165.200.225 Inside Outside Static NAT 10.1.1.34 209.165.201.5 ACL Permit from 209.165.200.225 to 209.165.201.5 104636 16-5 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 16 Identifying Traffic with Access Lists Adding an Extended Access List If you perform NAT on both interfaces, keep in mind the addresses that are visible to a given interface. In Figure 16-3, an outside server uses static NAT so that a translated address appears on the inside network. Figure 16-3 IP Addresses in Access Lists: NAT used for Source and Destination Addresses See the following commands for this example: hostname(config)# access-list INSIDE extended permit ip 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 host 10.1.1.56 hostname(config)# access-group INSIDE in interface inside Adding an Extended Access List This section describes how to add an extended access list, and includes the following sections: • Extended Access List Overview, page 16-5 • Allowing Broadcast and Multicast Traffic through the Transparent Firewall, page 16-6 • Adding an Extended ACE, page 16-6 Extended Access List Overview An extended access list is made up of one or more ACEs, in which you can specify the line number to insert the ACE, source and destination addresses, and, depending on the ACE type, the protocol, the ports (for TCP or UDP), or the ICMP type (for ICMP). You can identify all of these parameters within the access-list command, or you can use object groups for each parameter. This section describes how to identify the parameters within the command. To use object groups, see the “Simplifying Access Lists with Object Grouping” section on page 16-11. 209.165.200.225 10.1.1.0/24 Inside Outside Static NAT 10.1.1.56 ACL Permit from 10.1.1.0/24 to 10.1.1.56 PAT 10.1.1.0/24 209.165.201.4:port 104635 16-6 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 16 Identifying Traffic with Access Lists Adding an Extended Access List For information about logging options that you can add to the end of the ACE, see the “Logging Access List Activity” section on page 16-20. For information about time range options, see “Scheduling Extended Access List Activation” section on page 16-18. For TCP and UDP connections, you do not need an access list to allow returning traffic, because the FWSM allows all returning traffic for established, bidirectional connections. For connectionless protocols such as ICMP, however, the security appliance establishes unidirectional sessions, so you either need access lists to allow ICMP in both directions (by applying access lists to the source and destination interfaces), or you need to enable the ICMP inspection engine. The ICMP inspection engine treats ICMP sessions as bidirectional connections. You can apply only one access list of each type (extended and EtherType) to each direction of an interface. You can apply the same access lists on multiple interfaces. See Chapter 18, “Permitting or Denying Network Access,” for more information about applying an access list to an interface. Note If you change the access list configuration, and you do not want to wait for existing connections to time out before the new access list information is used, you can clear the connections using the clear local-host command. Allowing Broadcast and Multicast Traffic through the Transparent Firewall In routed firewall mode, broadcast and multicast traffic is blocked even if you allow it in an access list, including unsupported dynamic routing protocols and DHCP (unless you configure DHCP relay). Transparent firewall mode can allow any IP traffic through. This feature is especially useful in multiple context mode, which does not allow dynamic routing, for example. Note Because these special types of traffic are connectionless, you need to apply an extended access list to both interfaces, so returning traffic is allowed through. Table 16-2 lists common traffic types that you can allow through the transparent firewall. Adding an Extended ACE When you enter the access-list command for a given access list name, the ACE is added to the end of the access list unless you specify the line number. Table 16-2 Transparent Firewall Special Traffic Traffic Type Protocol or Port Notes DHCP UDP ports 67 and 68 If you enable the DHCP server, then the security appliance does not pass DHCP packets. EIGRP Protocol 88 — OSPF Protocol 89 — Multicast streams The UDP ports vary depending on the application. Multicast streams are always destined to a Class D address (224.0.0.0 to 239.x.x.x). RIP (v1 or v2) UDP port 520 — 16-7 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 16 Identifying Traffic with Access Lists Adding an Extended Access List To add an ACE, enter the following command: hostname(config)# access-list access_list_name [line line_number] [extended] {deny | permit} protocol source_address mask [operator port] dest_address mask [operator port | icmp_type] [inactive] Tip Enter the access list name in upper case letters so the name is easy to see in the configuration. You might want to name the access list for the interface (for example, INSIDE), or for the purpose for which it is created (for example, NO_NAT or VPN). Typically, you identify the ip keyword for the protocol, but other protocols are accepted. For a list of protocol names, see the “Protocols and Applications” section on page D-11. Enter the host keyword before the IP address to specify a single address. In this case, do not enter a mask. Enter the any keyword instead of the address and mask to specify any address. You can specify the source and destination ports only for the tcp or udp protocols. For a list of permitted keywords and well-known port assignments, see the “TCP and UDP Ports” section on page D-11. DNS, Discard, Echo, Ident, NTP, RPC, SUNRPC, and Talk each require one definition for TCP and one for UDP. TACACS+ requires one definition for port 49 on TCP. Use an operator to match port numbers used by the source or destination. The permitted operators are as follows: • lt—less than • gt—greater than • eq—equal to • neq—not equal to • range—an inclusive range of values. When you use this operator, specify two port numbers, for example: range 100 200 You can specify the ICMP type only for the icmp protocol. Because ICMP is a connectionless protocol, you either need access lists to allow ICMP in both directions (by applying access lists to the source and destination interfaces), or you need to enable the ICMP inspection engine (see the “Adding an ICMP Type Object Group” section on page 16-15). The ICMP inspection engine treats ICMP sessions as stateful connections. To control ping, specify echo-reply (0) (security appliance to host) or echo (8) (host to security appliance). See the “Adding an ICMP Type Object Group” section on page 16-15 for a list of ICMP types. When you specify a network mask, the method is different from the Cisco IOS software access-list command. The security appliance uses a network mask (for example, 255.255.255.0 for a Class C mask). The Cisco IOS mask uses wildcard bits (for example, 0.0.0.255). To make an ACE inactive, use the inactive keyword. To reenable it, enter the entire ACE without the inactive keyword. This feature lets you keep a record of an inactive ACE in your configuration to make reenabling easier. To remove an ACE, enter the no access-list command with the entire command syntax string as it appears in the configuration: hostname(config)# no access-list access_list_name [line line_number] [extended] {deny | permit} protocol source_address mask [operator port] dest_address mask [operator port | icmp_type] [inactive] If the entry that you are removing is the only entry in the access list, the entire access list is removed. 16-8 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 16 Identifying Traffic with Access Lists Adding an EtherType Access List See the following examples: The following access list allows all hosts (on the interface to which you apply the access list) to go through the security appliance: hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended permit ip any any The following sample access list prevents hosts on 192.168.1.0/24 from accessing the 209.165.201.0/27 network. All other addresses are permitted. hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended deny tcp 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 209.165.201.0 255.255.255.224 hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended permit ip any any If you want to restrict access to only some hosts, then enter a limited permit ACE. By default, all other traffic is denied unless explicitly permitted. hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended permit ip 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 209.165.201.0 255.255.255.224 The following access list restricts all hosts (on the interface to which you apply the access list) from accessing a website at address 209.165.201.29. All other traffic is allowed. hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended deny tcp any host 209.165.201.29 eq www hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended permit ip any any Adding an EtherType Access List Transparent firewall mode only This section describes how to add an EtherType access list, and includes the following sections: • EtherType Access List Overview, page 16-8 • Adding an EtherType ACE, page 16-10 EtherType Access List Overview An EtherType access list is made up of one or more ACEs that specify an EtherType. This section includes the following topics: • Supported EtherTypes, page 16-8 • Implicit Permit of IP and ARPs Only, page 16-9 • Implicit and Explicit Deny ACE at the End of an Access List, page 16-9 • IPv6 Unsupported, page 16-9 • Using Extended and EtherType Access Lists on the Same Interface, page 16-9 • Allowing MPLS, page 16-9 Supported EtherTypes An EtherType ACE controls any EtherType identified by a 16-bit hexadecimal number. EtherType access lists support Ethernet V2 frames. 16-9 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 16 Identifying Traffic with Access Lists Adding an EtherType Access List 802.3-formatted frames are not handled by the access list because they use a length field as opposed to a type field. BPDUs, which are handled by the access list, are the only exception: they are SNAP-encapsulated, and the security appliance is designed to specifically handle BPDUs. The security appliance receives trunk port (Cisco proprietary) BPDUs. Trunk BPDUs have VLAN information inside the payload, so the security appliance modifies the payload with the outgoing VLAN if you allow BPDUs. Note If you use failover, you must allow BPDUs on both interfaces with an EtherType access list to avoid bridging loops. Implicit Permit of IP and ARPs Only IPv4 traffic is allowed through the transparent firewall automatically from a higher security interface to a lower security interface, without an access list. ARPs are allowed through the transparent firewall in both directions without an access list. ARP traffic can be controlled by ARP inspection. However, to allow any traffic with EtherTypes other than IPv4 and ARP, you need to apply an EtherType access list, even from a high security to a low security interface. Because EtherTypes are connectionless, you need to apply the access list to both interfaces if you want traffic to pass in both directions. Implicit and Explicit Deny ACE at the End of an Access List For EtherType access lists, the implicit deny at the end of the access list does not affect IP traffic or ARPs; for example, if you allow EtherType 8037, the implicit deny at the end of the access list does not now block any IP traffic that you previously allowed with an extended access list (or implicitly allowed from a high security interface to a low security interface). However, if you explicitly deny all traffic with an EtherType ACE, then IP and ARP traffic is denied. IPv6 Unsupported EtherType ACEs do not allow IPv6 traffic, even if you specify the IPv6 EtherType. Using Extended and EtherType Access Lists on the Same Interface You can apply only one access list of each type (extended and EtherType) to each direction of an interface. You can also apply the same access lists on multiple interfaces. Allowing MPLS If you allow MPLS, ensure that Label Distribution Protocol and Tag Distribution Protocol TCP connections are established through the security appliance by configuring both MPLS routers connected to the security appliance to use the IP address on the security appliance interface as the router-id for LDP or TDP sessions. (LDP and TDP allow MPLS routers to negotiate the labels (addresses) used to forward packets.) On Cisco IOS routers, enter the appropriate command for your protocol, LDP or TDP. The interface is the interface connected to the security appliance. 16-10 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 16 Identifying Traffic with Access Lists Adding an EtherType Access List hostname(config)# mpls ldp router-id interface force Or hostname(config)# tag-switching tdp router-id interface force Adding an EtherType ACE To add an EtherType ACE, enter the following command: hostname(config)# access-list access_list_name ethertype {permit | deny} {ipx | bpdu | mpls-unicast | mpls-multicast | any | hex_number} The hex_number is any EtherType that can be identified by a 16-bit hexadecimal number greater than or equal to 0x600. See RFC 1700, “Assigned Numbers,” at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1700.txt for a list of EtherTypes. To remove an ACE, enter the no access-list command with the entire command syntax string as it appears in the configuration: hostname(config)# no access-list access_list_name [line line_number] [extended] {deny | permit} protocol source_address mask [operator port] dest_address mask [operator port | icmp_type] [inactive] To remove an EtherType ACE, enter the no access-list command with the entire command syntax string as it appears in the configuration: ehostname(config)# no access-list access_list_name ethertype {permit | deny} {ipx | bpdu | mpls-unicast | mpls-multicast | any | hex_number} Note If an EtherType access list is configured to deny all, all ethernet frames are discarded. Only physical protocol traffic, such as auto-negotiation, is still allowed. When you enter the access-list command for a given access list name, the ACE is added to the end of the access list. Tip Enter the access_list_name in upper case letters so the name is easy to see in the configuration. You might want to name the access list for the interface (for example, INSIDE), or for the purpose (for example, MPLS or IPX). For example, the following sample access list allows common EtherTypes originating on the inside interface: hostname(config)# access-list ETHER ethertype permit ipx hostname(config)# access-list ETHER ethertype permit bpdu hostname(config)# access-list ETHER ethertype permit mpls-unicast hostname(config)# access-group ETHER in interface inside The following access list allows some EtherTypes through the security appliance, but denies IPX: hostname(config)# access-list ETHER ethertype deny ipx hostname(config)# access-list ETHER ethertype permit 0x1234 hostname(config)# access-list ETHER ethertype permit bpdu hostname(config)# access-list ETHER ethertype permit mpls-unicast hostname(config)# access-group ETHER in interface inside hostname(config)# access-group ETHER in interface outside 16-11 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 16 Identifying Traffic with Access Lists Adding a Standard Access List The following access list denies traffic with EtherType 0x1256, but allows all others on both interfaces: hostname(config)# access-list nonIP ethertype deny 1256 hostname(config)# access-list nonIP ethertype permit any hostname(config)# access-group ETHER in interface inside hostname(config)# access-group ETHER in interface outside Adding a Standard Access List Single context mode only Standard access lists identify the destination IP addresses of OSPF routes, and can be used in a route map for OSPF redistribution. Standard access lists cannot be applied to interfaces to control traffic. The following command adds a standard ACE. To add another ACE at the end of the access list, enter another access-list command specifying the same access list name. Apply the access list using the “Defining Route Maps” section on page 9-7. To add an ACE, enter the following command: hostname(config)# access-list access_list_name standard {deny | permit} {any | ip_address mask} To remove an ACE, enter the no access-list command with the entire command syntax string as it appears in the configuration: hostname(config)# no access-list access_list_name standard {deny | permit} {any | ip_address mask} The following sample access list identifies routes to 192.168.1.0/24: hostname(config)# access-list OSPF standard permit 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 Adding a Webtype Access List To add an access list to the configuration that supports filtering for WebVPN, enter the following command: hostname(config)# access-list access_list_name webtype {deny | permit} url [url_string | any] To remove a Webtype access list, enter the no access-list command with the entire syntax string as it appears in the configuration: hostname(config)# access-list access_list_name webtype {deny | permit} url [url_string | any] For information about logging options that you can add to the end of the ACE, see the “Logging Access List Activity” section on page 16-20. Simplifying Access Lists with Object Grouping This section describes how to use object grouping to simplify access list creation and maintenance. This section includes the following topics: • How Object Grouping Works, page 16-12 • Adding Object Groups, page 16-12 16-12 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 16 Identifying Traffic with Access Lists Simplifying Access Lists with Object Grouping • Nesting Object Groups, page 16-15 • Displaying Object Groups, page 16-17 • Removing Object Groups, page 16-17 • Using Object Groups with an Access List, page 16-16 How Object Grouping Works By grouping like-objects together, you can use the object group in an ACE instead of having to enter an ACE for each object separately. You can create the following types of object groups: • Protocol • Network • Service • ICMP type For example, consider the following three object groups: • MyServices—Includes the TCP and UDP port numbers of the service requests that are allowed access to the internal network • TrustedHosts—Includes the host and network addresses allowed access to the greatest range of services and servers • PublicServers—Includes the host addresses of servers to which the greatest access is provided After creating these groups, you could use a single ACE to allow trusted hosts to make specific service requests to a group of public servers. You can also nest object groups in other object groups. Note The ACE system limit applies to expanded access lists. If you use object groups in ACEs, the number of actual ACEs that you enter is fewer, but the number of expanded ACEs is the same as without object groups. In many cases, object groups create more ACEs than if you added them manually, because creating ACEs manually leads you to summarize addresses more than an object group does. To view the number of expanded ACEs in an access list, enter the show access-list access_list_name command. Adding Object Groups This section describes how to add object groups. This section includes the following topics: • Adding a Protocol Object Group, page 16-13 • Adding a Network Object Group, page 16-13 • Adding a Service Object Group, page 16-14 • Adding an ICMP Type Object Group, page 16-15 16-13 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 16 Identifying Traffic with Access Lists Simplifying Access Lists with Object Grouping Adding a Protocol Object Group To add or change a protocol object group, follow these steps. After you add the group, you can add more objects as required by following this procedure again for the same group name and specifying additional objects. You do not need to reenter existing objects; the commands you already set remain in place unless you remove them with the no form of the command. To add a protocol group, follow these steps: Step 1 To add a protocol group, enter the following command: hostname(config)# object-group protocol grp_id The grp_id is a text string up to 64 characters in length. The prompt changes to protocol configuration mode. Step 2 (Optional) To add a description, enter the following command: hostname(config-protocol)# description text The description can be up to 200 characters. Step 3 To define the protocols in the group, enter the following command for each protocol: hostname(config-protocol)# protocol-object protocol The protocol is the numeric identifier of the specific IP protocol (1 to 254) or a keyword identifier (for example, icmp, tcp, or udp). To include all IP protocols, use the keyword ip. For a list of protocols you can specify, see the “Protocols and Applications” section on page D-11. For example, to create a protocol group for TCP, UDP, and ICMP, enter the following commands: hostname(config)# object-group protocol tcp_udp_icmp hostname(config-protocol)# protocol-object tcp hostname(config-protocol)# protocol-object udp hostname(config-protocol)# protocol-object icmp Adding a Network Object Group To add or change a network object group, follow these steps. After you add the group, you can add more objects as required by following this procedure again for the same group name and specifying additional objects. You do not need to reenter existing objects; the commands you already set remain in place unless you remove them with the no form of the command. Note A network object group supports IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, depending on the type of access list. For more information about IPv6 access lists, see “Configuring IPv6 Access Lists” section on page 12-6. To add a network group, follow these steps: Step 1 To add a network group, enter the following command: hostname(config)# object-group network grp_id The grp_id is a text string up to 64 characters in length. The prompt changes to network configuration mode. 16-14 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 16 Identifying Traffic with Access Lists Simplifying Access Lists with Object Grouping Step 2 (Optional) To add a description, enter the following command: hostname(config-network)# description text The description can be up to 200 characters. Step 3 To define the networks in the group, enter the following command for each network or address: hostname(config-network)# network-object {host ip_address | ip_address mask} For example, to create network group that includes the IP addresses of three administrators, enter the following commands: hostname(config)# object-group network admins hostname(config-network)# description Administrator Addresses hostname(config-network)# network-object host 10.1.1.4 hostname(config-network)# network-object host 10.1.1.78 hostname(config-network)# network-object host 10.1.1.34 Adding a Service Object Group To add or change a service object group, follow these steps. After you add the group, you can add more objects as required by following this procedure again for the same group name and specifying additional objects. You do not need to reenter existing objects; the commands you already set remain in place unless you remove them with the no form of the command. To add a service group, follow these steps: Step 1 To add a service group, enter the following command: hostname(config)# object-group service grp_id {tcp | udp | tcp-udp} The grp_id is a text string up to 64 characters in length. Specify the protocol for the services (ports) you want to add, either tcp, udp, or tcp-udp keywords. Enter tcp-udp keyword if your service uses both TCP and UDP with the same port number, for example, DNS (port 53). The prompt changes to service configuration mode. Step 2 (Optional) To add a description, enter the following command: hostname(config-service)# description text The description can be up to 200 characters. Step 3 To define the ports in the group, enter the following command for each port or range of ports: hostname(config-service)# port-object {eq port | range begin_port end_port} For a list of permitted keywords and well-known port assignments, see the “Protocols and Applications” section on page D-11. For example, to create service groups that include DNS (TCP/UDP), LDAP (TCP), and RADIUS (UDP), enter the following commands: hostname(config)# object-group service services1 tcp-udp hostname(config-service)# description DNS Group hostname(config-service)# port-object eq domain 16-15 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 16 Identifying Traffic with Access Lists Simplifying Access Lists with Object Grouping hostname(config-service)# object-group service services2 udp hostname(config-service)# description RADIUS Group hostname(config-service)# port-object eq radius hostname(config-service)# port-object eq radius-acct hostname(config-service)# object-group service services3 tcp hostname(config-service)# description LDAP Group hostname(config-service)# port-object eq ldap Adding an ICMP Type Object Group To add or change an ICMP type object group, follow these steps. After you add the group, you can add more objects as required by following this procedure again for the same group name and specifying additional objects. You do not need to reenter existing objects; the commands you already set remain in place unless you remove them with the no form of the command. To add an ICMP type group, follow these steps: Step 1 To add an ICMP type group, enter the following command: hostname(config)# object-group icmp-type grp_id The grp_id is a text string up to 64 characters in length. The prompt changes to ICMP type configuration mode. Step 2 (Optional) To add a description, enter the following command: hostname(config-icmp-type)# description text The description can be up to 200 characters. Step 3 To define the ICMP types in the group, enter the following command for each type: hostname(config-icmp-type)# icmp-object icmp_type See the “ICMP Types” section on page D-15 for a list of ICMP types. For example, to create an ICMP type group that includes echo-reply and echo (for controlling ping), enter the following commands: hostname(config)# object-group icmp-type ping hostname(config-service)# description Ping Group hostname(config-icmp-type)# icmp-object echo hostname(config-icmp-type)# icmp-object echo-reply Nesting Object Groups To nest an object group within another object group of the same type, first create the group that you want to nest according to the “Adding Object Groups” section on page 16-12. Then follow these steps: Step 1 To add or edit an object group under which you want to nest another object group, enter the following command: hostname(config)# object-group {{protocol | network | icmp-type} grp_id | service grp_id {tcp | udp | tcp-udp}} 16-16 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 16 Identifying Traffic with Access Lists Simplifying Access Lists with Object Grouping Step 2 To add the specified group under the object group you specified in Step 1, enter the following command: hostname(config-group_type)# group-object grp_id The nested group must be of the same type. You can mix and match nested group objects and regular objects within an object group. For example, you create network object groups for privileged users from various departments: hostname(config)# object-group network eng hostname(config-network)# network-object host 10.1.1.5 hostname(config-network)# network-object host 10.1.1.9 hostname(config-network)# network-object host 10.1.1.89 hostname(config-network)# object-group network hr hostname(config-network)# network-object host 10.1.2.8 hostname(config-network)# network-object host 10.1.2.12 hostname(config-network)# object-group network finance hostname(config-network)# network-object host 10.1.4.89 hostname(config-network)# network-object host 10.1.4.100 You then nest all three groups together as follows: hostname(config)# object-group network admin hostname(config-network)# group-object eng hostname(config-network)# group-object hr hostname(config-network)# group-object finance You only need to specify the admin object group in your ACE as follows: hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended permit ip object-group admin host 209.165.201.29 Using Object Groups with an Access List To use object groups in an access list, replace the normal protocol (protocol), network (source_address mask, etc.), service (operator port), or ICMP type (icmp_type) parameter with object-group grp_id parameter. For example, to use object groups for all available parameters in the access-list {tcp | udp} command, enter the following command: hostname(config)# access-list access_list_name [line line_number] [extended] {deny | permit} {tcp | udp} object-group nw_grp_id [object-group svc_grp_id] object-group nw_grp_id [object-group svc_grp_id] [log [[level] [interval secs] | disable | default]] [inactive | time-range time_range_name] You do not have to use object groups for all parameters; for example, you can use an object group for the source address, but identify the destination address with an address and mask. The following normal access list that does not use object groups restricts several hosts on the inside network from accessing several web servers. All other traffic is allowed. hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended deny tcp host 10.1.1.4 host 209.165.201.29 eq www hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended deny tcp host 10.1.1.78 host 209.165.201.29 eq www hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended deny tcp host 10.1.1.89 host 209.165.201.29 eq www 16-17 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 16 Identifying Traffic with Access Lists Simplifying Access Lists with Object Grouping hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended deny tcp host 10.1.1.4 host 209.165.201.16 eq www hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended deny tcp host 10.1.1.78 host 209.165.201.16 eq www hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended deny tcp host 10.1.1.89 host 209.165.201.16 eq www hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended deny tcp host 10.1.1.4 host 209.165.201.78 eq www hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended deny tcp host 10.1.1.78 host 209.165.201.78 eq www hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended deny tcp host 10.1.1.89 host 209.165.201.78 eq www hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended permit ip any any hostname(config)# access-group ACL_IN in interface inside If you make two network object groups, one for the inside hosts, and one for the web servers, then the configuration can be simplified and can be easily modified to add more hosts: hostname(config)# object-group network denied hostname(config-network)# network-object host 10.1.1.4 hostname(config-network)# network-object host 10.1.1.78 hostname(config-network)# network-object host 10.1.1.89 hostname(config-network)# object-group network web hostname(config-network)# network-object host 209.165.201.29 hostname(config-network)# network-object host 209.165.201.16 hostname(config-network)# network-object host 209.165.201.78 hostname(config-network)# access-list ACL_IN extended deny tcp object-group denied object-group web eq www hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended permit ip any any hostname(config)# access-group ACL_IN in interface inside Displaying Object Groups To display a list of the currently configured object groups, enter the following command: hostname(config)# show object-group [protocol | network | service | icmp-type | id grp_id] If you enter the command without any parameters, the system displays all configured object groups. The following is sample output from the show object-group command: hostname# show object-group object-group network ftp_servers description: This is a group of FTP servers network-object host 209.165.201.3 network-object host 209.165.201.4 object-group network TrustedHosts network-object host 209.165.201.1 network-object 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 group-object ftp_servers Removing Object Groups To remove an object group, enter one of the following commands. Note You cannot remove an object group or make an object group empty if it is used in an access list. 16-18 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 16 Identifying Traffic with Access Lists Adding Remarks to Access Lists • To remove a specific object group, enter the following command: hostname(config)# no object-group grp_id • To remove all object groups of the specified type, enter the following command: hostname(config)# clear object-group [protocol | network | services | icmp-type] If you do not enter a type, all object groups are removed. Adding Remarks to Access Lists You can include remarks about entries in any access list, including extended, EtherType, and standard access lists. The remarks make the access list easier to understand. To add a remark after the last access-list command you entered, enter the following command: hostname(config)# access-list access_list_name remark text If you enter the remark before any access-list command, then the remark is the first line in the access list. If you delete an access list using the no access-list access_list_name command, then all the remarks are also removed. The text can be up to 100 characters in length. You can enter leading spaces at the beginning of the text. Trailing spaces are ignored. For example, you can add remarks before each ACE, and the remark appears in the access list in this location. Entering a dash (-) at the beginning of the remark helps set it apart from ACEs. hostname(config)# access-list OUT remark - this is the inside admin address hostname(config)# access-list OUT extended permit ip host 209.168.200.3 any hostname(config)# access-list OUT remark - this is the hr admin address hostname(config)# access-list OUT extended permit ip host 209.168.200.4 any Scheduling Extended Access List Activation You can schedule each ACE to be activated at specific times of the day and week by applying a time range to the ACE. This section includes the following topics: • Adding a Time Range, page 16-18 • Applying the Time Range to an ACE, page 16-19 Adding a Time Range To add a time range to implement a time-based access list, perform the following steps: Step 1 Identify the time-range name by entering the following command: hostname(config)# time-range name Step 2 Specify the time range as either a recurring time range or an absolute time range. 16-19 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 16 Identifying Traffic with Access Lists Scheduling Extended Access List Activation Note Users could experience a delay of approximately 80 to 100 seconds after the specified end time for the ACL to become inactive. For example, if the specified end time is 3:50, because the end time is inclusive, the command is picked up anywhere between 3:51:00 and 3:51:59. After the command is picked up, the security appliance finishes any currently running task and then services the command to deactivate the ACL. Multiple periodic entries are allowed per time-range command. If a time-range command has both absolute and periodic values specified, then the periodic commands are evaluated only after the absolute start time is reached, and are not further evaluated after the absolute end time is reached. • Recurring time range: hostname(config-time-range)# periodic days-of-the-week time to [days-of-the-week] time You can specify the following values for days-of-the-week: – monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday, and sunday. – daily – weekdays – weekend The time is in the format hh:mm. For example, 8:00 is 8:00 a.m. and 20:00 is 8:00 p.m. • Absolute time range: hostname(config-time-range)# absolute start time date [end time date] The time is in the format hh:mm. For example, 8:00 is 8:00 a.m. and 20:00 is 8:00 p.m. The date is in the format day month year; for example, 1 january 2006. The following is an example of an absolute time range beginning at 8:00 a.m. on January 1, 2006. Because no end time and date are specified, the time range is in effect indefinitely. hostname(config)# time-range for2006 hostname(config-time-range)# absolute start 8:00 1 january 2006 The following is an example of a weekly periodic time range from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m on weekdays.: hostname(config)# time-range workinghours hostname(config-time-range)# periodic weekdays 8:00 to 18:00 Applying the Time Range to an ACE To apply the time range to an ACE, use the following command: hostname(config)# access-list access_list_name [extended] {deny | permit}...[time-range name] See the “Adding an Extended Access List” section on page 16-5 for complete access-list command syntax. 16-20 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 16 Identifying Traffic with Access Lists Logging Access List Activity Note If you also enable logging for the ACE, use the log keyword before the time-range keyword. If you disable the ACE using the inactive keyword, use the inactive keyword as the last keyword. The following example binds an access list named “Sales” to a time range named “New_York_Minute.” hostname(config)# access-list Sales line 1 extended deny tcp host 209.165.200.225 host 209.165.201.1 time-range New_York_Minute Logging Access List Activity This section describes how to configure access list logging for extended access lists and Webtype access lists. This section includes the following topics: • Access List Logging Overview, page 16-20 • Configuring Logging for an Access Control Entry, page 16-21 • Managing Deny Flows, page 16-22 Access List Logging Overview By default, when traffic is denied by an extended ACE or a Webtype ACE, the security appliance generates system message 106023 for each denied packet, in the following form: %ASA|PIX-4-106023: Deny protocol src [interface_name:source_address/source_port] dst interface_name:dest_address/dest_port [type {string}, code {code}] by access_group acl_id If the security appliance is attacked, the number of system messages for denied packets can be very large. We recommend that you instead enable logging using system message 106100, which provides statistics for each ACE and lets you limit the number of system messages produced. Alternatively, you can disable all logging. Note Only ACEs in the access list generate logging messages; the implicit deny at the end of the access list does not generate a message. If you want all denied traffic to generate messages, add the implicit ACE manually to the end of the access list, as follows. hostname(config)# access-list TEST deny ip any any log The log options at the end of the extended access-list command lets you to set the following behavior: • Enable message 106100 instead of message 106023 • Disable all logging • Return to the default logging using message 106023 System message 106100 is in the following form: %ASA|PIX-n-106100: access-list acl_id {permitted | denied} protocol interface_name/source_address(source_port) -> interface_name/dest_address(dest_port) hit-cnt number ({first hit | number-second interval}) 16-21 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 16 Identifying Traffic with Access Lists Logging Access List Activity When you enable logging for message 106100, if a packet matches an ACE, the security appliance creates a flow entry to track the number of packets received within a specific interval. The security appliance generates a system message at the first hit and at the end of each interval, identifying the total number of hits during the interval. At the end of each interval, the security appliance resets the hit count to 0. If no packets match the ACE during an interval, the security appliance deletes the flow entry. A flow is defined by the source and destination IP addresses, protocols, and ports. Because the source port might differ for a new connection between the same two hosts, you might not see the same flow increment because a new flow was created for the connection. See the “Managing Deny Flows” section on page 16-22 to limit the number of logging flows. Permitted packets that belong to established connections do not need to be checked against access lists; only the initial packet is logged and included in the hit count. For connectionless protocols, such as ICMP, all packets are logged even if they are permitted, and all denied packets are logged. See the Cisco Security Appliance Logging Configuration and System Log Messages for detailed information about this system message. Configuring Logging for an Access Control Entry To configure logging for an ACE, see the following information about the log option: hostname(config)# access-list access_list_name [extended] {deny | permit}...[log [[level] [interval secs] | disable | default]] See the “Adding an Extended Access List” section on page 16-5 and “Adding a Webtype Access List” section on page 16-11 for complete access-list command syntax. If you enter the log option without any arguments, you enable system log message 106100 at the default level (6) and for the default interval (300 seconds). See the following options: • level—A severity level between 0 and 7. The default is 6. • interval secs—The time interval in seconds between system messages, from 1 to 600. The default is 300. This value is also used as the timeout value for deleting an inactive flow. • disable—Disables all access list logging. • default—Enables logging to message 106023. This setting is the same as having no log option. For example, you configure the following access list: hostname(config)# access-list outside-acl permit ip host 1.1.1.1 any log 7 interval 600 hostname(config)# access-list outside-acl permit ip host 2.2.2.2 any hostname(config)# access-list outside-acl deny ip any any log 2 hostname(config)# access-group outside-acl in interface outside When a packet is permitted by the first ACE of outside-acl, the security appliance generates the following system message: %ASA|PIX-7-106100: access-list outside-acl permitted tcp outside/1.1.1.1(12345) -> inside/192.168.1.1(1357) hit-cnt 1 (first hit) Although 20 additional packets for this connection arrive on the outside interface, the traffic does not have to be checked against the access list, and the hit count does not increase. If one more connection by the same host is initiated within the specified 10 minute interval (and the source and destination ports remain the same), then the hit count is incremented by 1 and the following message is displayed at the end of the 10 minute interval: %ASA|PIX-7-106100: access-list outside-acl permitted tcp outside/1.1.1.1(12345)-> inside/192.168.1.1(1357) hit-cnt 2 (600-second interval) 16-22 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 16 Identifying Traffic with Access Lists Logging Access List Activity When a packet is denied by the third ACE, the security appliance generates the following system message: %ASA|PIX-2-106100: access-list outside-acl denied ip outside/3.3.3.3(12345) -> inside/192.168.1.1(1357) hit-cnt 1 (first hit) 20 additional attempts within a 5 minute interval (the default) result in the following message at the end of 5 minutes: %ASA|PIX-2-106100: access-list outside-acl denied ip outside/3.3.3.3(12345) -> inside/192.168.1.1(1357) hit-cnt 21 (300-second interval) Managing Deny Flows When you enable logging for message 106100, if a packet matches an ACE, the security appliance creates a flow entry to track the number of packets received within a specific interval. The security appliance has a maximum of 32 K logging flows for ACEs. A large number of flows can exist concurrently at any point of time. To prevent unlimited consumption of memory and CPU resources, the security appliance places a limit on the number of concurrent deny flows; the limit is placed only on deny flows (and not permit flows) because they can indicate an attack. When the limit is reached, the security appliance does not create a new deny flow for logging until the existing flows expire. For example, if someone initiates a DoS attack, the security appliance can create a large number of deny flows in a short period of time. Restricting the number of deny flows prevents unlimited consumption of memory and CPU resources. When you reach the maximum number of deny flows, the security appliance issues system message 106100: %ASA|PIX-1-106101: The number of ACL log deny-flows has reached limit (number). To configure the maximum number of deny flows and to set the interval between deny flow alert messages (106101), enter the following commands: • To set the maximum number of deny flows permitted per context before the security appliance stops logging, enter the following command: hostname(config)# access-list deny-flow-max number The number is between 1 and 4096. 4096 is the default. • To set the amount of time between system messages (number 106101) that identify that the maximum number of deny flows was reached, enter the following command: hostname(config)# access-list alert-interval secs The seconds are between 1 and 3600. 300 is the default.

In routed firewall mode, the security appliance can perform NAT between each network. Note In transparent firewall mode, the security appliance does not support NAT.

NAT is comprised of two steps: the process in which a real address is translated into a mapped address, and then the process to undo translation for returning traffic. The security appliance translates an address when a NAT rule matches the traffic. If no NAT rule matches, processing for the packet continues. The exception is when you enable NAT control. NAT control requires that packets traversing from a higher security interface (inside) to a lower security interface (outside) match a NAT rule, or else processing for the packet stops. (See the “Security Level Overview” section on page 7-1 for more information about security levels, and see “NAT Control” section on page 17-3 for more information about NAT control). Note In this document, all types of translation are generally referred to as NAT. When discussing NAT, the terms inside and outside are relative, and represent the security relationship between any two interfaces. The higher security level is inside and the lower security level is outside; for example, interface 1 is at 60 and interface 2 is at 50, so interface 1 is “inside” and interface 2 is “outside.” Some of the benefits of NAT are as follows: • You can use private addresses on your inside networks. Private addresses are not routable on the Internet. (See the “Private Networks” section on page D-2 for more information.) • NAT hides the real addresses from other networks, so attackers cannot learn the real address of a host. • You can resolve IP routing problems such as overlapping addresses. See Table 25-1 on page 25-3 for information about protocols that do not support NAT. Figure 17-1 shows a typical NAT scenario, with a private network on the inside. When the inside host at 10.1.2.27 sends a packet to a web server, the real source address, 10.1.2.27, of the packet is changed to a mapped address, 209.165.201.10. When the server responds, it sends the response to the mapped address, 209.165.201.10, and the security appliance receives the packet. The security appliance then undoes the translation of the mapped address, 209.165.201.10 back to the real address, 10.1.2.27 before sending it on to the host. 17-3 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT NAT Overview Figure 17-1 NAT Example See the following commands for this example: hostname(config)# nat (inside) 1 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 hostname(config)# global (outside) 1 209.165.201.1-209.165.201.15 NAT Control NAT control requires that packets traversing from an inside interface to an outside interface match a NAT rule; for any host on the inside network to access a host on the outside network, you must configure NAT to translate the inside host address (see Figure 17-2).

However, if you configure dynamic NAT or PAT on a same security interface, then all traffic from the interface to a same security interface or an outside interface must match a NAT rule (see Figure 17-3). Figure 17-3 NAT Control and Same Security Traffic Similarly, if you enable outside dynamic NAT or PAT, then all outside traffic must match a NAT rule when it accesses an inside interface (see Figure 17-4). Figure 17-4 NAT Control and Inbound Traffic Static NAT does not cause these restrictions. By default, NAT control is disabled, so you do not need to perform NAT on any networks unless you choose to perform NAT. If you upgraded from an earlier version of software, however, NAT control might be enabled on your system. Even with NAT control disabled, you need to perform NAT on any addresses for which you configure dynamic NAT. See the “Dynamic NAT and PAT Implementation” section on page 17-17 for more information on how dynamic NAT is applied. If you want the added security of NAT control but do not want to translate inside addresses in some cases, you can apply a NAT exemption or identity NAT rule on those addresses. (See the “Bypassing NAT” section on page 17-29 for more information). To configure NAT control, see the “Configuring NAT Control” section on page 17-16. Note In multiple context mode, the packet classifier might rely on the NAT configuration to assign packets to contexts if you do not enable unique MAC addresses for shared interfaces. See the “How the Security Appliance Classifies Packets” section on page 3-3 for more information about the relationship between the classifier and NAT. 10.1.1.1 Dyn.

You can implement address translation as dynamic NAT, Port Address Translation, static NAT, or static PAT or as a mix of these types. You can also configure rules to bypass NAT, for example, if you enable NAT control but do not want to perform NAT. This section includes the following topics: • Dynamic NAT, page 17-5 • PAT, page 17-7 • Static NAT, page 17-7 • Static PAT, page 17-8 • Bypassing NAT When NAT Control is Enabled, page 17-9 Dynamic NAT Dynamic NAT translates a group of real addresses to a pool of mapped addresses that are routable on the destination network. The mapped pool can include fewer addresses than the real group. When a host you want to translate accesses the destination network, the security appliance assigns it an IP address from the mapped pool. The translation is added only when the real host initiates the connection. The translation is in place only for the duration of the connection, and a given user does not keep the same IP address after the translation times out (see the timeout xlate command in the Cisco Security Appliance Command Reference). Users on the destination network, therefore, cannot reliably initiate a connection to a host that uses dynamic NAT (even if the connection is allowed by an access list), and the security appliance rejects any attempt to connect to a real host address directly. See the following “Static NAT” or “Static PAT” sections for reliable access to hosts. Note In some cases, a translation is added for a connection (see the show xlate command) even though the session is denied by the security appliance. This condition occurs with an outbound access list, a management-only interface, or a backup interface. The translation times out normally. Figure 17-5 shows a remote host attempting to connect to the real address. The connection is denied because the security appliance only allows returning connections to the mapped address. 17-6 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT NAT Overview Figure 17-5 Remote Host Attempts to Connect to the Real Address Figure 17-6 shows a remote host attempting to initiate a connection to a mapped address. This address is not currently in the translation table, so the security appliance drops the packet. Figure 17-6 Remote Host Attempts to Initiate a Connection to a Mapped Address Note For the duration of the translation, a remote host can initiate a connection to the translated host if an access list allows it. Because the address is unpredictable, a connection to the host is unlikely. However in this case, you can rely on the security of the access list.

Use PAT if this event occurs often, because PAT provides over 64,000 translations using ports of a single address. • You have to use a large number of routable addresses in the mapped pool; if the destination network requires registered addresses, such as the Internet, you might encounter a shortage of usable addresses. The advantage of dynamic NAT is that some protocols cannot use PAT. For example, PAT does not work with IP protocols that do not have a port to overload, such as GRE version 0. PAT also does not work with some applications that have a data stream on one port and the control path on another and are not open standard, such as some multimedia applications. See the “When to Use Application Protocol Inspection” section on page 25-2 for more information about NAT and PAT support. PAT PAT translates multiple real addresses to a single mapped IP address. Specifically, the security appliance translates the real address and source port (real socket) to the mapped address and a unique port above 1024 (mapped socket). Each connection requires a separate translation, because the source port differs for each connection. For example, 10.1.1.1:1025 requires a separate translation from 10.1.1.1:1026. After the connection expires, the port translation also expires after 30 seconds of inactivity. The timeout is not configurable. Users on the destination network cannot reliably initiate a connection to a host that uses PAT (even if the connection is allowed by an access list). Not only can you not predict the real or mapped port number of the host, but the security appliance does not create a translation at all unless the translated host is the initiator. See the following “Static NAT” or “Static PAT” sections for reliable access to hosts. PAT lets you use a single mapped address, thus conserving routable addresses. You can even use the security appliance interface IP address as the PAT address. PAT does not work with some multimedia applications that have a data stream that is different from the control path. See the “When to Use Application Protocol Inspection” section on page 25-2 for more information about NAT and PAT support. Note For the duration of the translation, a remote host can initiate a connection to the translated host if an access list allows it. Because the port address (both real and mapped) is unpredictable, a connection to the host is unlikely. Nevertheless, in this case, you can rely on the security of the access list. However, policy PAT does not support time-based ACLs. Static NAT Static NAT creates a fixed translation of real address(es) to mapped address(es).With dynamic NAT and PAT, each host uses a different address or port for each subsequent translation. Because the mapped address is the same for each consecutive connection with static NAT, and a persistent translation rule exists, static NAT allows hosts on the destination network to initiate traffic to a translated host (if there is an access list that allows it). The main difference between dynamic NAT and a range of addresses for static NAT is that static NAT allows a remote host to initiate a connection to a translated host (if there is an access list that allows it), while dynamic NAT does not. You also need an equal number of mapped addresses as real addresses with static NAT. 17-8 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT NAT Overview Static PAT Static PAT is the same as static NAT, except it lets you specify the protocol (TCP or UDP) and port for the real and mapped addresses. This feature lets you identify the same mapped address across many different static statements, so long as the port is different for each statement (you cannot use the same mapped address for multiple static NAT statements). For applications that require application inspection for secondary channels (FTP, VoIP, etc.), the security appliance automatically translates the secondary ports. For example, if you want to provide a single address for remote users to access FTP, HTTP, and SMTP, but these are all actually different servers on the real network, you can specify static PAT statements for each server that uses the same mapped IP address, but different ports (see Figure 17-7). Figure 17-7 Static PAT See the following commands for this example: hostname(config)# static (inside,outside) tcp 209.165.201.3 ftp 10.1.2.27 ftp netmask 255.255.255.255 hostname(config)# static (inside,outside) tcp 209.165.201.3 http 10.1.2.28 http netmask 255.255.255.255 hostname(config)# static (inside,outside) tcp 209.165.201.3 smtp 10.1.2.29 smtp netmask 255.255.255.255 You can also use static PAT to translate a well-known port to a non-standard port or vice versa. For example, if your inside web servers use port 8080, you can allow outside users to connect to port 80, and then undo translation to the original port 8080. Similarly, if you want to provide extra security, you can tell your web users to connect to non-standard port 6785, and then undo translation to port 80. Host Outside Inside Undo Translation 209.165.201.3:21 10.1.2.27 Undo Translation 209.165.201.3:80 10.1.2.28 Undo Translation 209.165.201.3:25 10.1.2.29 FTP server 10.1.2.27 HTTP server 10.1.2.28 SMTP server 10.1.2.29 130031 17-9 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT NAT Overview Bypassing NAT When NAT Control is Enabled If you enable NAT control, then inside hosts must match a NAT rule when accessing outside hosts. If you do not want to perform NAT for some hosts, then you can bypass NAT for those hosts (alternatively, you can disable NAT control). You might want to bypass NAT, for example, if you are using an application that does not support NAT (see the “When to Use Application Protocol Inspection” section on page 25-2 for information about inspection engines that do not support NAT). You can configure traffic to bypass NAT using one of three methods. All methods achieve compatibility with inspection engines. However, each method offers slightly different capabilities, as follows: • Identity NAT (nat 0 command)—When you configure identity NAT (which is similar to dynamic NAT), you do not limit translation for a host on specific interfaces; you must use identity NAT for connections through all interfaces. Therefore, you cannot choose to perform normal translation on real addresses when you access interface A, but use identity NAT when accessing interface B. Regular dynamic NAT, on the other hand, lets you specify a particular interface on which to translate the addresses. Make sure that the real addresses for which you use identity NAT are routable on all networks that are available according to your access lists. For identity NAT, even though the mapped address is the same as the real address, you cannot initiate a connection from the outside to the inside (even if the interface access list allows it). Use static identity NAT or NAT exemption for this functionality. • Static identity NAT (static command)—Static identity NAT lets you specify the interface on which you want to allow the real addresses to appear, so you can use identity NAT when you access interface A, and use regular translation when you access interface B. Static identity NAT also lets you use policy NAT, which identifies the real and destination addresses when determining the real addresses to translate (see the “Policy NAT” section on page 17-9 for more information about policy NAT). For example, you can use static identity NAT for an inside address when it accesses the outside interface and the destination is server A, but use a normal translation when accessing the outside server B. • NAT exemption (nat 0 access-list command)—NAT exemption allows both translated and remote hosts to initiate connections. Like identity NAT, you do not limit translation for a host on specific interfaces; you must use NAT exemption for connections through all interfaces. However, NAT exemption does let you specify the real and destination addresses when determining the real addresses to translate (similar to policy NAT), so you have greater control using NAT exemption. However unlike policy NAT, NAT exemption does not consider the ports in the access list. Policy NAT Policy NAT lets you identify real addresses for address translation by specifying the source and destination addresses in an extended access list. You can also optionally specify the source and destination ports. Regular NAT can only consider the real addresses. For example, you can use translate the real address to mapped address A when it accesses server A, but translate the real address to mapped address B when it accesses server B. Note Policy NAT does not support time-based ACLs. When you specify the ports in policy NAT for applications that require application inspection for secondary channels (FTP, VoIP, etc.), the security appliance automatically translates the secondary ports. 17-10 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT NAT Overview Note All types of NAT support policy NAT except for NAT exemption. NAT exemption uses an access list to identify the real addresses, but differs from policy NAT in that the ports are not considered. See the “Bypassing NAT” section on page 17-29 for other differences. You can accomplish the same result as NAT exemption using static identity NAT, which does support policy NAT. Figure 17-8 shows a host on the 10.1.2.0/24 network accessing two different servers. When the host accesses the server at 209.165.201.11, the real address is translated to 209.165.202.129. When the host accesses the server at 209.165.200.225, the real address is translated to 209.165.202.130 so that the host appears to be on the same network as the servers, which can help with routing.

The host on the 10.1.2.0/24 network accesses a single host for both web services and Telnet services. When the host accesses the server for web services, the real address is translated to 209.165.202.129. When the host accesses the same server for Telnet services, the real address is translated to 209.165.202.130. Figure 17-9 Policy NAT with Different Destination Ports See the following commands for this example: hostname(config)# access-list WEB permit tcp 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 209.165.201.11 255.255.255.255 eq 80 hostname(config)# access-list TELNET permit tcp 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 209.165.201.11 255.255.255.255 eq 23 hostname(config)# nat (inside) 1 access-list WEB hostname(config)# global (outside) 1 209.165.202.129 hostname(config)# nat (inside) 2 access-list TELNET hostname(config)# global (outside) 2 209.165.202.130 For policy static NAT (and for NAT exemption, which also uses an access list to identify traffic), both translated and remote hosts can originate traffic. For traffic originated on the translated network, the NAT access list specifies the real addresses and the destination addresses, but for traffic originated on the remote network, the access list identifies the real addresses and the source addresses of remote hosts who are allowed to connect to the host using this translation.

The translated host has a policy static NAT translation that translates the real address only for traffic to and from the 209.165.201.0/27 network. A translation does not exist for the 209.165.200.224/27 network, so the translated host cannot connect to that network, nor can a host on that network connect to the translated host. Figure 17-10 Policy Static NAT with Destination Address Translation See the following commands for this example: hostname(config)# access-list NET1 permit ip 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.224 209.165.201.0 255.255.255.224 hostname(config)# static (inside,outside) 209.165.202.128 access-list NET1 Note For policy static NAT, in undoing the translation, the ACL in the static command is not used. If the destination address in the packet matches the mapped address in the static rule, the static rule is used to untranslate the address. Note Policy NAT does not support SQL*Net, but it is supported by regular NAT. See the “When to Use Application Protocol Inspection” section on page 25-2 for information about NAT support for other protocols. You cannot use policy static NAT to translate different real addresses to the same mapped address. For example, Figure 17-11 shows two inside hosts, 10.1.1.1 and 10.1.1.2, that you want to be translated to 209.165.200.225. When outside host 209.165.201.1 connects to 209.165.200.225, then the connection goes to 10.1.1.1. When outside host 209.165.201.2 connects to the same mapped address, 209.165.200.225, you want the connection to go to 10.1.1.2. However, only one source address in the access list can be used. Since the first ACE is for 10.1.1.1, then all inbound connections sourced from 209.165.201.1 and 209.165.201.2 and destined to 209.165.200.255 will have their destination address translated to 10.1.1.1. 209.165.201.11 209.165.200.225 DMZ Inside No Translation 10.1.2.27 10.1.2.27 10.1.2.0/27 209.165.201.0/27 209.165.200.224/27 Undo Translation 209.165.202.128 130037 17-13 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT NAT Overview Figure 17-11 Real Addresses Cannot Share the Same Mapped Address See the following commands for this example. (Although the second ACE in the example does allow 209.165.201.2 to connect to 209.165.200.225, it only allows 209.165.200.225 to be translated to 10.1.1.1.) hostname(config)# static (in,out) 209.165.200.225 access-list policy-nat hostname(config)# access-list policy-nat permit ip host 10.1.1.1 host 209.165.201.1 hostname(config)# access-list policy-nat permit ip host 10.1.1.2 host 209.165.201.2 NAT and Same Security Level Interfaces NAT is not required between same security level interfaces even if you enable NAT control. You can optionally configure NAT if desired. However, if you configure dynamic NAT when NAT control is enabled, then NAT is required. See the “NAT Control” section on page 17-3 for more information. Also, when you specify a group of IP address(es) for dynamic NAT or PAT on a same security interface, then you must perform NAT on that group of addresses when they access any lower or same security level interface (even when NAT control is not enabled). Traffic identified for static NAT is not affected. See the “Allowing Communication Between Interfaces on the Same Security Level” section on page 7-6 to enable same security communication. Note The security appliance does not support VoIP inspection engines when you configure NAT on same security interfaces. These inspection engines include Skinny, SIP, and H.323. See the “When to Use Application Protocol Inspection” section on page 25-2 for supported inspection engines. 209.165.201.1 Outside Inside 10.1.1.1 209.165.201.2 10.1.1.2 Undo Translation 209.165.200.225 10.1.1.1 209.165.200.225 10.1.1.2 No Undo Translation 242981 17-14 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT NAT Overview Order of NAT Commands Used to Match Real Addresses The security appliance matches real addresses to NAT commands in the following order: 1. NAT exemption (nat 0 access-list)—In order, until the first match. Identity NAT is not included in this category; it is included in the regular static NAT or regular NAT category. We do not recommend overlapping addresses in NAT exemption statements because unexpected results can occur. 2. Static NAT and Static PAT (regular and policy) (static)—In order, until the first match. Static identity NAT is included in this category. 3. Policy dynamic NAT (nat access-list)—In order, until the first match. Overlapping addresses are allowed. 4. Regular dynamic NAT (nat)—Best match. Regular identity NAT is included in this category. The order of the NAT commands does not matter; the NAT statement that best matches the real address is used. For example, you can create a general statement to translate all addresses (0.0.0.0) on an interface. If you want to translate a subset of your network (10.1.1.1) to a different address, then you can create a statement to translate only 10.1.1.1. When 10.1.1.1 makes a connection, the specific statement for 10.1.1.1 is used because it matches the real address best. We do not recommend using overlapping statements; they use more memory and can slow the performance of the security appliance. Mapped Address Guidelines When you translate the real address to a mapped address, you can use the following mapped addresses: • Addresses on the same network as the mapped interface. If you use addresses on the same network as the mapped interface (through which traffic exits the security appliance), the security appliance uses proxy ARP to answer any requests for mapped addresses, and thus intercepts traffic destined for a real address. This solution simplifies routing, because the security appliance does not have to be the gateway for any additional networks. However, this approach does put a limit on the number of available addresses used for translations. For PAT, you can even use the IP address of the mapped interface. • Addresses on a unique network. If you need more addresses than are available on the mapped interface network, you can identify addresses on a different subnet. The security appliance uses proxy ARP to answer any requests for mapped addresses, and thus intercepts traffic destined for a real address. If you use OSPF, and you advertise routes on the mapped interface, then the security appliance advertises the mapped addresses. If the mapped interface is passive (not advertising routes) or you are using static routing, then you need to add a static route on the upstream router that sends traffic destined for the mapped addresses to the security appliance. DNS and NAT You might need to configure the security appliance to modify DNS replies by replacing the address in the reply with an address that matches the NAT configuration. You can configure DNS modification when you configure each translation. For example, a DNS server is accessible from the outside interface. A server, ftp.cisco.com, is on the inside interface. You configure the security appliance to statically translate the ftp.cisco.com real address (10.1.3.14) to a mapped address (209.165.201.10) that is visible on the outside network (see 17-15 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT NAT Overview Figure 17-12). In this case, you want to enable DNS reply modification on this static statement so that inside users who have access to ftp.cisco.com using the real address receive the real address from the DNS server, and not the mapped address. When an inside host sends a DNS request for the address of ftp.cisco.com, the DNS server replies with the mapped address (209.165.201.10). The security appliance refers to the static statement for the inside server and translates the address inside the DNS reply to 10.1.3.14. If you do not enable DNS reply modification, then the inside host attempts to send traffic to 209.165.201.10 instead of accessing ftp.cisco.com directly. Figure 17-12 DNS Reply Modification See the following command for this example: hostname(config)# static (inside,outside) 209.165.201.10 10.1.3.14 netmask 255.255.255.255 dns Note If a user on a different network (for example, DMZ) also requests the IP address for ftp.cisco.com from the outside DNS server, then the IP address in the DNS reply is also modified for this user, even though the user is not on the Inside interface referenced by the static command. DNS Server Outside Inside User 130021 1 2 3 4 5 DNS Reply Modification 209.165.201.10 10.1.3.14 DNS Reply 209.165.201.10 DNS Reply 10.1.3.14 DNS Query ftp.cisco.com?

The security appliance has a static translation for the outside server. In this case, when an inside user requests the address for ftp.cisco.com from the DNS server, the DNS server responds with the real address, 209.165.20.10. Because you want inside users to use the mapped address for ftp.cisco.com (10.1.2.56) you need to configure DNS reply modification for the static translation. Figure 17-13 DNS Reply Modification Using Outside NAT See the following command for this example: hostname(config)# static (outside,inside) 10.1.2.56 209.165.201.10 netmask 255.255.255.255 dns Configuring NAT Control NAT control requires that packets traversing from an inside interface to an outside interface match a NAT rule. See the “NAT Control” section on page 17-3 for more information. To enable NAT control, enter the following command: hostname(config)# nat-control To disable NAT control, enter the no form of the command. ftp.cisco.com 209.165.201.10 DNS Server Outside Inside User 10.1.2.27 Static Translation on Inside to: 10.1.2.56 130022 1 2 7 6 5 4 3 DNS Query ftp.cisco.com?

Then you configure a separate global command to specify the mapped addresses when exiting another interface (in the case of PAT, this is one address). Each nat command matches a global command by comparing the NAT ID, a number that you assign to each command (see Figure 17-14). Figure 17-14 nat and global ID Matching See the following commands for this example: hostname(config)# nat (inside) 1 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 hostname(config)# global (outside) 1 209.165.201.3-209.165.201.10 130027 Web Server: www.cisco.com Outside Inside Global 1: 209.165.201.3- 209.165.201.10 NAT 1: 10.1.2.0/24 10.1.2.27 Translation 10.1.2.27 209.165.201.3 17-18 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT Using Dynamic NAT and PAT You can enter a nat command for each interface using the same NAT ID; they all use the same global command when traffic exits a given interface. For example, you can configure nat commands for Inside and DMZ interfaces, both on NAT ID 1. Then you configure a global command on the Outside interface that is also on ID 1. Traffic from the Inside interface and the DMZ interface share a mapped pool or a PAT address when exiting the Outside interface (see Figure 17-15). Figure 17-15 nat Commands on Multiple Interfaces See the following commands for this example: hostname(config)# nat (inside) 1 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 hostname(config)# nat (dmz) 1 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 hostname(config)# global (outside) 1 209.165.201.3-209.165.201.10 Web Server: www.cisco.com Outside DMZ Inside Global 1: 209.165.201.3- 209.165.201.10 NAT 1: 10.1.2.0/24 NAT 1: 10.1.1.0/24 10.1.1.15 10.1.2.27 130028 Translation 10.1.2.27 209.165.201.3 Translation 10.1.1.15 209.165.201.4 17-19 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT Using Dynamic NAT and PAT You can also enter a global command for each interface using the same NAT ID. If you enter a global command for the Outside and DMZ interfaces on ID 1, then the Inside nat command identifies traffic to be translated when going to both the Outside and the DMZ interfaces. Similarly, if you also enter a nat command for the DMZ interface on ID 1, then the global command on the Outside interface is also used for DMZ traffic. (See Figure 17-16). Figure 17-16 global and nat Commands on Multiple Interfaces See the following commands for this example: hostname(config)# nat (inside) 1 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 hostname(config)# nat (dmz) 1 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 hostname(config)# global (outside) 1 209.165.201.3-209.165.201.10 hostname(config)# global (dmz) 1 10.1.1.23 If you use different NAT IDs, you can identify different sets of real addresses to have different mapped addresses. For example, on the Inside interface, you can have two nat commands on two different NAT IDs. On the Outside interface, you configure two global commands for these two IDs. Then, when traffic from Inside network A exits the Outside interface, the IP addresses are translated to pool A addresses; while traffic from Inside network B are translated to pool B addresses (see Figure 17-17). If you use policy NAT, you can specify the same real addresses for multiple nat commands, as long as the the destination addresses and ports are unique in each access list.

You might want to enter both a dynamic NAT global command and a PAT global command if you need to use dynamic NAT for a particular application, but want to have a backup PAT statement in case all the dynamic NAT addresses are depleted. Similarly, you might enter two PAT statements if you need more than the approximately 64,000 PAT sessions that a single PAT mapped statement supports (see Figure 17-18).

If you also want to translate the same traffic when it accesses an inside interface (for example, traffic on a DMZ is translated when accessing the Inside and the Outside interfaces), then you must configure a separate nat command without the outside option. In this case, you can identify the same addresses in both statements and use the same NAT ID (see Figure 17-19). Note that for outside NAT (DMZ interface to Inside interface), the inside host uses a static command to allow outside access, so both the source and destination addresses are translated.

NAT is not required for that group when it accesses a higher security interface, because to perform NAT from outside to inside, you must create a separate nat command using the outside keyword. If you do apply outside NAT, then the NAT requirements preceding come into effect for that group of addresses when they access all higher security interfaces.

The configuration for dynamic NAT and PAT are almost identical; for NAT you specify a range of mapped addresses, and for PAT you specify a single address. Figure 17-20 shows a typical dynamic NAT scenario. Only translated hosts can create a NAT session, and responding traffic is allowed back. The mapped address is dynamically assigned from a pool defined by the global command. Figure 17-20 Dynamic NAT Figure 17-21 shows a typical dynamic PAT scenario. Only translated hosts can create a NAT session, and responding traffic is allowed back. The mapped address defined by the global command is the same for each translation, but the port is dynamically assigned. Figure 17-21 Dynamic PAT For more information about dynamic NAT, see the “Dynamic NAT” section on page 17-5. For more information about PAT, see the “PAT” section on page 17-7. Note If you change the NAT configuration, and you do not want to wait for existing translations to time out before the new NAT information is used, you can clear the translation table using the clear xlate command. However, clearing the translation table disconnects all current connections that use translations. 10.1.1.1 209.165.201.1 Inside Outside 10.1.1.2 209.165.201.2 130032 Security Appliance 10.1.1.1:1025 209.165.201.1:2020 Inside Outside 10.1.1.1:1026 209.165.201.1:2021 10.1.1.2:1025 209.165.201.1:2022 130034 Security Appliance 17-24 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT Using Dynamic NAT and PAT To configure dynamic NAT or PAT, perform the following steps: Step 1 To identify the real addresses that you want to translate, enter one of the following commands: • Policy NAT: hostname(config)# nat (real_interface) nat_id access-list acl_name [dns] [outside] [norandomseq] [[tcp] tcp_max_conns [emb_limit]] [udp udp_max_conns] You can identify overlapping addresses in other nat commands. For example, you can identify 10.1.1.0 in one command, but 10.1.1.1 in another. The traffic is matched to a policy NAT command in order, until the first match, or for regular NAT, using the best match. See the following description about options for this command: – access-list acl_name—Identify the real addresses and destination addresses using an extended access list. Create the access list using the access-list command (see the “Adding an Extended Access List” section on page 16-5). This access list should include only permit ACEs. You can optionally specify the real and destination ports in the access list using the eq operator. Policy NAT considers the inactive and time-range keywords, but it does not support ACL with all inactive and time-range ACEs. – nat_id—An integer between 1 and 65535. The NAT ID should match a global command NAT ID. See the “Dynamic NAT and PAT Implementation” section on page 17-17 for more information about how NAT IDs are used. 0 is reserved for NAT exemption. (See the “Configuring NAT Exemption” section on page 17-32 for more information about NAT exemption.) – dns—If your nat command includes the address of a host that has an entry in a DNS server, and the DNS server is on a different interface from a client, then the client and the DNS server need different addresses for the host; one needs the mapped address and one needs the real address. This option rewrites the address in the DNS reply to the client. The translated host needs to be on the same interface as either the client or the DNS server. Typically, hosts that need to allow access from other interfaces use a static translation, so this option is more likely to be used with the static command. (See the “DNS and NAT” section on page 17-14 for more information.) – outside—If this interface is on a lower security level than the interface you identify by the matching global statement, then you must enter outside to identify the NAT instance as outside NAT. – norandomseq, tcp tcp_max_conns, udp udp_max_conns, and emb_limit—These keywords set connection limits. However, we recommend using a more versatile method for setting connection limits; see the “Configuring Connection Limits and Timeouts” section on page 23-6. • Regular NAT: hostname(config)# nat (real_interface) nat_id real_ip [mask [dns] [outside] [norandomseq] [[tcp] tcp_max_conns [emb_limit]] [udp udp_max_conns]] The nat_id is an integer between 1 and 2147483647. The NAT ID must match a global command NAT ID. See the “Dynamic NAT and PAT Implementation” section on page 17-17 for more information about how NAT IDs are used. 0 is reserved for identity NAT. See the “Configuring Identity NAT” section on page 17-30 for more information about identity NAT. See the preceding policy NAT command for information about other options. Step 2 To identify the mapped address(es) to which you want to translate the real addresses when they exit a particular interface, enter the following command: hostname(config)# global (mapped_interface) nat_id {mapped_ip[-mapped_ip] | interface} 17-25 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT Using Dynamic NAT and PAT This NAT ID should match a nat command NAT ID. The matching nat command identifies the addresses that you want to translate when they exit this interface. You can specify a single address (for PAT) or a range of addresses (for NAT). The range can go across subnet boundaries if desired. For example, you can specify the following “supernet”: 192.168.1.1-192.168.2.254 For example, to translate the 10.1.1.0/24 network on the inside interface, enter the following command: hostname(config)# nat (inside) 1 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 hostname(config)# global (outside) 1 209.165.201.1-209.165.201.30 To identify a pool of addresses for dynamic NAT as well as a PAT address for when the NAT pool is exhausted, enter the following commands: hostname(config)# nat (inside) 1 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 hostname(config)# global (outside) 1 209.165.201.5 hostname(config)# global (outside) 1 209.165.201.10-209.165.201.20 To translate the lower security dmz network addresses so they appear to be on the same network as the inside network (10.1.1.0), for example, to simplify routing, enter the following commands: hostname(config)# nat (dmz) 1 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 outside dns hostname(config)# global (inside) 1 10.1.1.45 To identify a single real address with two different destination addresses using policy NAT, enter the following commands (see Figure 17-8 on page 17-10 for a related figure): hostname(config)# access-list NET1 permit ip 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 209.165.201.0 255.255.255.224 hostname(config)# access-list NET2 permit ip 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 209.165.200.224 255.255.255.224 hostname(config)# nat (inside) 1 access-list NET1 tcp 0 2000 udp 10000 hostname(config)# global (outside) 1 209.165.202.129 hostname(config)# nat (inside) 2 access-list NET2 tcp 1000 500 udp 2000 hostname(config)# global (outside) 2 209.165.202.130 To identify a single real address/destination address pair that use different ports using policy NAT, enter the following commands (see Figure 17-9 on page 17-11 for a related figure): hostname(config)# access-list WEB permit tcp 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 209.165.201.11 255.255.255.255 eq 80 hostname(config)# access-list TELNET permit tcp 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 209.165.201.11 255.255.255.255 eq 23 hostname(config)# nat (inside) 1 access-list WEB hostname(config)# global (outside) 1 209.165.202.129 hostname(config)# nat (inside) 2 access-list TELNET hostname(config)# global (outside) 2 209.165.202.130 17-26 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT Using Static NAT Using Static NAT This section describes how to configure a static translation. Figure 17-22 shows a typical static NAT scenario. The translation is always active so both translated and remote hosts can originate connections, and the mapped address is statically assigned by the static command. Figure 17-22 Static NAT You cannot use the same real or mapped address in multiple static commands between the same two interfaces. Do not use a mapped address in the static command that is also defined in a global command for the same mapped interface. For more information about static NAT, see the “Static NAT” section on page 17-7. Note If you remove a static command, existing connections that use the translation are not affected. To remove these connections, enter the clear local-host command. You cannot clear static translations from the translation table with the clear xlate command; you must remove the static command instead. Only dynamic translations created by the nat and global commands can be removed with the clear xlate command. To configure static NAT, enter one of the following commands. • For policy static NAT, enter the following command: hostname(config)# static (real_interface,mapped_interface) {mapped_ip | interface} access-list acl_name [dns] [norandomseq] [[tcp] tcp_max_conns [emb_limit]] [udp udp_max_conns] Create the access list using the access-list command (see the “Adding an Extended Access List” section on page 16-5). This access list should include only permit ACEs. The source subnet mask used in the access list is also used for the mapped addresses. You can also specify the real and destination ports in the access list using the eq operator. Policy NAT does not consider the inactive or time-range keywords; all ACEs are considered to be active for policy NAT configuration. See the “Policy NAT” section on page 17-9 for more information. If you specify a network for translation (for example, 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0), then the security appliance translates the .0 and .255 addresses. If you want to prevent access to these addresses, be sure to configure an access list to deny access. See the “Configuring Dynamic NAT or PAT” section on page 17-23 for information about the other options. 10.1.1.1 209.165.201.1 Inside Outside 10.1.1.2 209.165.201.2 130035 Security Appliance 17-27 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT Using Static PAT • To configure regular static NAT, enter the following command: hostname(config)# static (real_interface,mapped_interface) {mapped_ip | interface} real_ip [netmask mask] [dns] [norandomseq] [[tcp] tcp_max_conns [emb_limit]] [udp udp_max_conns] See the “Configuring Dynamic NAT or PAT” section on page 17-23 for information about the options. For example, the following policy static NAT example shows a single real address that is translated to two mapped addresses depending on the destination address (see Figure 17-8 on page 17-10 for a related figure): hostname(config)# access-list NET1 permit ip host 10.1.2.27 209.165.201.0 255.255.255.224 hostname(config)# access-list NET2 permit ip host 10.1.2.27 209.165.200.224 255.255.255.224 hostname(config)# static (inside,outside) 209.165.202.129 access-list NET1 hostname(config)# static (inside,outside) 209.165.202.130 access-list NET2 The following command maps an inside IP address (10.1.1.3) to an outside IP address (209.165.201.12): hostname(config)# static (inside,outside) 209.165.201.12 10.1.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.255 The following command maps the outside address (209.165.201.15) to an inside address (10.1.1.6): hostname(config)# static (outside,inside) 10.1.1.6 209.165.201.15 netmask 255.255.255.255 The following command statically maps an entire subnet: hostname(config)# static (inside,dmz) 10.1.1.0 10.1.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 Using Static PAT This section describes how to configure a static port translation. Static PAT lets you translate the real IP address to a mapped IP address, as well as the real port to a mapped port. You can choose to translate the real port to the same port, which lets you translate only specific types of traffic, or you can take it further by translating to a different port. Figure 17-23 shows a typical static PAT scenario. The translation is always active so both translated and remote hosts can originate connections, and the mapped address and port is statically assigned by the static command. Figure 17-23 Static PAT For applications that require application inspection for secondary channels (FTP, VoIP, etc.), the security appliance automatically translates the secondary ports. 10.1.1.1:23 209.165.201.1:23 Inside Outside 10.1.1.2:8080 209.165.201.2:80 130044 Security Appliance 17-28 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT Using Static PAT You cannot use the same real or mapped address in multiple static statements between the same two interfaces. Do not use a mapped address in the static command that is also defined in a global command for the same mapped interface. For more information about static PAT, see the “Static PAT” section on page 17-8. Note If you remove a static command, existing connections that use the translation are not affected. To remove these connections, enter the clear local-host command. You cannot clear static translations from the translation table with the clear xlate command; you must remove the static command instead. Only dynamic translations created by the nat and global commands can be removed with the clear xlate command. To configure static PAT, enter one of the following commands. • For policy static PAT, enter the following command: hostname(config)# static (real_interface,mapped_interface) {tcp | udp} {mapped_ip | interface} mapped_port access-list acl_name [dns] [norandomseq] [[tcp] tcp_max_conns [emb_limit]] [udp udp_max_conns] Create the access list using the access-list command (see the “Adding an Extended Access List” section on page 16-5). The protocol in the access list must match the protocol you set in this command. For example, if you specify tcp in the static command, then you must specify tcp in the access list. Specify the port using the eq operator. This access list should include only permit ACEs. The source subnet mask used in the access list is also used for the mapped addresses. Policy NAT does not consider the inactive or time-range keywords; all ACEs are considered to be active for policy NAT configuration. If you specify a network for translation (for example, 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0), then the security appliance translates the .0 and .255 addresses. If you want to prevent access to these addresses, be sure to configure an access list to deny access. See the “Configuring Dynamic NAT or PAT” section on page 17-23 for information about the other options. • To configure regular static PAT, enter the following command: hostname(config)# static (real_interface,mapped_interface) {tcp | udp} {mapped_ip | interface} mapped_port real_ip real_port [netmask mask] [dns] [norandomseq] [[tcp] tcp_max_conns [emb_limit]] [udp udp_max_conns] See the “Configuring Dynamic NAT or PAT” section on page 17-23 for information about the options. Note When configuring static PAT with FTP, you need to add entries for both TCP ports 20 and 21. You must specify port 20 so that the source port for the active transfer is not modified to another port, which may interfere with other devices that perform NAT on FTP traffic. For example, for Telnet traffic initiated from hosts on the 10.1.3.0 network to the security appliance outside interface (10.1.2.14), you can redirect the traffic to the inside host at 10.1.1.15 by entering the following commands: hostname(config)# access-list TELNET permit tcp host 10.1.1.15 eq telnet 10.1.3.0 255.255.255.0 eq telnet hostname(config)# static (inside,outside) tcp 10.1.2.14 telnet access-list TELNET 17-29 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT Bypassing NAT For HTTP traffic initiated from hosts on the 10.1.3.0 network to the security appliance outside interface (10.1.2.14), you can redirect the traffic to the inside host at 10.1.1.15 by entering: hostname(config)# access-list HTTP permit tcp host 10.1.1.15 eq http 10.1.3.0 255.255.255.0 eq http hostname(config)# static (inside,outside) tcp 10.1.2.14 http access-list HTTP To redirect Telnet traffic from the security appliance outside interface (10.1.2.14) to the inside host at 10.1.1.15, enter the following command: hostname(config)# static (inside,outside) tcp 10.1.2.14 telnet 10.1.1.15 telnet netmask 255.255.255.255 If you want to allow the preceding real Telnet server to initiate connections, though, then you need to provide additional translation. For example, to translate all other types of traffic, enter the following commands. The original static command provides translation for Telnet to the server, while the nat and global commands provide PAT for outbound connections from the server. hostname(config)# static (inside,outside) tcp 10.1.2.14 telnet 10.1.1.15 telnet netmask 255.255.255.255 hostname(config)# nat (inside) 1 10.1.1.15 255.255.255.255 hostname(config)# global (outside) 1 10.1.2.14 If you also have a separate translation for all inside traffic, and the inside hosts use a different mapped address from the Telnet server, you can still configure traffic initiated from the Telnet server to use the same mapped address as the static statement that allows Telnet traffic to the server. You need to create a more exclusive nat statement just for the Telnet server. Because nat statements are read for the best match, more exclusive nat statements are matched before general statements. The following example shows the Telnet static statement, the more exclusive nat statement for initiated traffic from the Telnet server, and the statement for other inside hosts, which uses a different mapped address. hostname(config)# static (inside,outside) tcp 10.1.2.14 telnet 10.1.1.15 telnet netmask 255.255.255.255 hostname(config)# nat (inside) 1 10.1.1.15 255.255.255.255 hostname(config)# global (outside) 1 10.1.2.14 hostname(config)# nat (inside) 2 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 hostname(config)# global (outside) 2 10.1.2.78 To translate a well-known port (80) to another port (8080), enter the following command: hostname(config)# static (inside,outside) tcp 10.1.2.45 80 10.1.1.16 8080 netmask 255.255.255.255 Bypassing NAT This section describes how to bypass NAT. You might want to bypass NAT when you enable NAT control. You can bypass NAT using identity NAT, static identity NAT, or NAT exemption. See the “Bypassing NAT When NAT Control is Enabled” section on page 17-9 for more information about these methods. This section includes the following topics: • Configuring Identity NAT, page 17-30 • Configuring Static Identity NAT, page 17-30 • Configuring NAT Exemption, page 17-32 17-30 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT Bypassing NAT Configuring Identity NAT Identity NAT translates the real IP address to the same IP address. Only “translated” hosts can create NAT translations, and responding traffic is allowed back. Figure 17-24 shows a typical identity NAT scenario. Figure 17-24 Identity NAT Note If you change the NAT configuration, and you do not want to wait for existing translations to time out before the new NAT information is used, you can clear the translation table using the clear xlate command. However, clearing the translation table disconnects all current connections that use translations. To configure identity NAT, enter the following command: hostname(config)# nat (real_interface) 0 real_ip [mask [dns] [outside] [norandomseq] [[tcp] tcp_max_conns [emb_limit]] [udp udp_max_conns] See the “Configuring Dynamic NAT or PAT” section on page 17-23 for information about the options. For example, to use identity NAT for the inside 10.1.1.0/24 network, enter the following command: hostname(config)# nat (inside) 0 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 Configuring Static Identity NAT Static identity NAT translates the real IP address to the same IP address. The translation is always active, and both “translated” and remote hosts can originate connections. Static identity NAT lets you use regular NAT or policy NAT. Policy NAT lets you identify the real and destination addresses when determining the real addresses to translate (see the “Policy NAT” section on page 17-9 for more 209.165.201.1 209.165.201.1 Inside Outside 209.165.201.2 209.165.201.2 130033 Security Appliance 17-31 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT Bypassing NAT information about policy NAT). For example, you can use policy static identity NAT for an inside address when it accesses the outside interface and the destination is server A, but use a normal translation when accessing the outside server B. Figure 17-25 shows a typical static identity NAT scenario. Figure 17-25 Static Identity NAT Note If you remove a static command, existing connections that use the translation are not affected. To remove these connections, enter the clear local-host command. You cannot clear static translations from the translation table with the clear xlate command; you must remove the static command instead. Only dynamic translations created by the nat and global commands can be removed with the clear xlate command. To configure static identity NAT, enter one of the following commands: • To configure policy static identity NAT, enter the following command: hostname(config)# static (real_interface,mapped_interface) real_ip access-list acl_id [dns] [norandomseq] [[tcp] tcp_max_conns [emb_limit]] [udp udp_max_conns] Create the access list using the access-list command (see the “Adding an Extended Access List” section on page 16-5). This access list should include only permit ACEs. Make sure the source address in the access list matches the real_ip in this command. Policy NAT does not consider the inactive or time-range keywords; all ACEs are considered to be active for policy NAT configuration. See the “Policy NAT” section on page 17-9 for more information. See the “Configuring Dynamic NAT or PAT” section on page 17-23 for information about the other options. • To configure regular static identity NAT, enter the following command: hostname(config)# static (real_interface,mapped_interface) real_ip real_ip [netmask mask] [dns] [norandomseq] [[tcp] tcp_max_conns [emb_limit]] [udp udp_max_conns] Specify the same IP address for both real_ip arguments. See the “Configuring Dynamic NAT or PAT” section on page 17-23 for information about the other options. For example, the following command uses static identity NAT for an inside IP address (10.1.1.3) when accessed by the outside: hostname(config)# static (inside,outside) 10.1.1.3 10.1.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.255 209.165.201.1 209.165.201.1 Inside Outside 209.165.201.2 209.165.201.2 130036 Security Appliance 17-32 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT Bypassing NAT The following command uses static identity NAT for an outside address (209.165.201.15) when accessed by the inside: hostname(config)# static (outside,inside) 209.165.201.15 209.165.201.15 netmask 255.255.255.255 The following command statically maps an entire subnet: hostname(config)# static (inside,dmz) 10.1.2.0 10.1.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 The following static identity policy NAT example shows a single real address that uses identity NAT when accessing one destination address, and a translation when accessing another: hostname(config)# access-list NET1 permit ip host 10.1.2.27 209.165.201.0 255.255.255.224 hostname(config)# access-list NET2 permit ip host 10.1.2.27 209.165.200.224 255.255.255.224 hostname(config)# static (inside,outside) 10.1.2.27 access-list NET1 hostname(config)# static (inside,outside) 209.165.202.130 access-list NET2 Configuring NAT Exemption NAT exemption exempts addresses from translation and allows both real and remote hosts to originate connections. NAT exemption lets you specify the real and destination addresses when determining the real traffic to exempt (similar to policy NAT), so you have greater control using NAT exemption than identity NAT. However unlike policy NAT, NAT exemption does not consider the ports in the access list. Use static identity NAT to consider ports in the access list. Figure 17-26 shows a typical NAT exemption scenario. Figure 17-26 NAT Exemption Note If you remove a NAT exemption configuration, existing connections that use NAT exemption are not affected. To remove these connections, enter the clear local-host command. To configure NAT exemption, enter the following command: hostname(config)# nat (real_interface) 0 access-list acl_name [outside] [norandomseq] [[tcp] tcp_max_conns [emb_limit]] [udp udp_max_conns] Create the access list using the access-list command (see the “Adding an Extended Access List” section on page 16-5). This access list can include both permit ACEs and deny ACEs. Do not specify the real and destination ports in the access list; NAT exemption does not consider the ports. NAT exemption considers the inactive and time-range keywords, but it does not support ACL with all inactive and time-range ACEs. 209.165.201.1 209.165.201.1 Inside Outside 209.165.201.2 209.165.201.2 130036 Security Appliance 17-33 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT NAT Examples See the “Configuring Dynamic NAT or PAT” section on page 17-23 for information about the other options. By default, this command exempts traffic from inside to outside. If you want traffic from outside to inside to bypass NAT, then add an additional nat command and enter outside to identify the NAT instance as outside NAT. You might want to use outside NAT exemption if you configure dynamic NAT for the outside interface and want to exempt other traffic. For example, to exempt an inside network when accessing any destination address, enter the following command: hostname(config)# access-list EXEMPT permit ip 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 any hostname(config)# nat (inside) 0 access-list EXEMPT To use dynamic outside NAT for a DMZ network, and exempt another DMZ network, enter the following command: hostname(config)# nat (dmz) 1 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 outside dns hostname(config)# global (inside) 1 10.1.1.45 hostname(config)# access-list EXEMPT permit ip 10.1.3.0 255.255.255.0 any hostname(config)# nat (dmz) 0 access-list EXEMPT To exempt an inside address when accessing two different destination addresses, enter the following commands: hostname(config)# access-list NET1 permit ip 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 209.165.201.0 255.255.255.224 hostname(config)# access-list NET1 permit ip 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 209.165.200.224 255.255.255.224 hostname(config)# nat (inside) 0 access-list NET1 NAT Examples This section describes typical scenarios that use NAT solutions, and includes the following topics: • Overlapping Networks, page 17-34 • Redirecting Ports, page 17-35 17-34 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT NAT Examples Overlapping Networks In Figure 17-27, the security appliance connects two private networks with overlapping address ranges. Figure 17-27 Using Outside NAT with Overlapping Networks Two networks use an overlapping address space (192.168.100.0/24), but hosts on each network must communicate (as allowed by access lists). Without NAT, when a host on the inside network tries to access a host on the overlapping DMZ network, the packet never makes it past the security appliance, which sees the packet as having a destination address on the inside network. Moreover, if the destination address is being used by another host on the inside network, that host receives the packet. To solve this problem, use NAT to provide non-overlapping addresses. If you want to allow access in both directions, use static NAT for both networks. If you only want to allow the inside interface to access hosts on the DMZ, then you can use dynamic NAT for the inside addresses, and static NAT for the DMZ addresses you want to access. This example shows static NAT. To configure static NAT for these two interfaces, perform the following steps. The 10.1.1.0/24 network on the DMZ is not translated. Step 1 Translate 192.168.100.0/24 on the inside to 10.1.2.0 /24 when it accesses the DMZ by entering the following command: hostname(config)# static (inside,dmz) 10.1.2.0 192.168.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 Step 2 Translate the 192.168.100.0/24 network on the DMZ to 10.1.3.0/24 when it accesses the inside by entering the following command: hostname(config)# static (dmz,inside) 10.1.3.0 192.168.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 Step 3 Configure the following static routes so that traffic to the dmz network can be routed correctly by the security appliance: hostname(config)# route dmz 192.168.100.128 255.255.255.128 10.1.1.2 1 hostname(config)# route dmz 192.168.100.0 255.255.255.128 10.1.1.2 1 192.168.100.2 inside 192.168.100.0/24 outside 10.1.1.2 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.2 dmz 192.168.100.0/24 10.1.1.1 192.168.100.3 130029 192.168.100.3 17-35 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT NAT Examples The security appliance already has a connected route for the inside network. These static routes allow the security appliance to send traffic for the 192.168.100.0/24 network out the DMZ interface to the gateway router at 10.1.1.2. (You need to split the network into two because you cannot create a static route with the exact same network as a connected route.) Alternatively, you could use a more broad route for the DMZ traffic, such as a default route. If host 192.168.100.2 on the DMZ network wants to initiate a connection to host 192.168.100.2 on the inside network, the following events occur: 1. The DMZ host 192.168.100.2 sends the packet to IP address 10.1.2.2. 2. When the security appliance receives this packet, the security appliance translates the source address from 192.168.100.2 to 10.1.3.2. 3. Then the security appliance translates the destination address from 10.1.2.2 to 192.168.100.2, and the packet is forwarded. Redirecting Ports Figure 17-28 illustrates a typical network scenario in which the port redirection feature might be useful. Figure 17-28 Port Redirection Using Static PAT In the configuration described in this section, port redirection occurs for hosts on external networks as follows: • Telnet requests to IP address 209.165.201.5 are redirected to 10.1.1.6. • FTP requests to IP address 209.165.201.5 are redirected to 10.1.1.3. • HTTP request to security appliance outside IP address 209.165.201.25 are redirected to 10.1.1.5. • HTTP port 8080 requests to PAT address 209.165.201.15 are redirected to 10.1.1.7 port 80. Telnet Server 10.1.1.6 209.165.201.25 209.165.201.5 209.165.201.15 10.1.1.1 Inside FTP Server 10.1.1.3 Web Server 10.1.1.5 Web Server 10.1.1.7 Outside 130030 17-36 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 17 Applying NAT NAT Examples To implement this scenario, perform the following steps: Step 1 Configure PAT for the inside network by entering the following commands: hostname(config)# nat (inside) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 0 hostname(config)# global (outside) 1 209.165.201.15 Step 2 Redirect Telnet requests for 209.165.201.5 to 10.1.1.6 by entering the following command: hostname(config)# static (inside,outside) tcp 209.165.201.5 telnet 10.1.1.6 telnet netmask 255.255.255.255 Step 3 Redirect FTP requests for IP address 209.165.201.5 to 10.1.1.3 by entering the following command: hostname(config)# static (inside,outside) tcp 209.165.201.5 ftp 10.1.1.3 ftp netmask 255.255.255.255 Step 4 Redirect HTTP requests for the security appliance outside interface address to 10.1.1.5 by entering the following command: hostname(config)# static (inside,outside) tcp interface www 10.1.1.5 www netmask 255.255.255.255 Step 5 Redirect HTTP requests on port 8080 for PAT address 209.165.201.15 to 10.1.1.7 port 80 by entering the following command: hostname(config)# static (inside,outside) tcp 209.165.201.15 8080 10.1.1.7 www netmask 255.255.255.255 CH A P T E R 18-1 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 18 Permitting or Denying Network Access This chapter describes how to control network access through the security appliance using access lists. To create an extended access lists or an EtherType access list, see Chapter 16, “Identifying Traffic with Access Lists.” Note You use ACLs to control network access in both routed and transparent firewall modes. In transparent mode, you can use both extended ACLs (for Layer 3 traffic) and EtherType ACLs (for Layer 2 traffic). To access the security appliance interface for management access, you do not also need an access list allowing the host IP address. You only need to configure management access according to Chapter 40, “Managing System Access.” This chapter includes the following sections: • Inbound and Outbound Access List Overview, page 18-1 • Applying an Access List to an Interface, page 18-2 Inbound and Outbound Access List Overview By default, all traffic from a higher-security interface to a lower-security interface is allowed. Access lists let you either allow traffic from lower-security interfaces, or restrict traffic from higher-security interfaces. The security appliance supports two types of access lists: • Inbound—Inbound access lists apply to traffic as it enters an interface. • Outbound—Outbound access lists apply to traffic as it exits an interface. Note “Inbound” and “outbound” refer to the application of an access list on an interface, either to traffic entering the security appliance on an interface or traffic exiting the security appliance on an interface. These terms do not refer to the movement of traffic from a lower security interface to a higher security interface, commonly known as inbound, or from a higher to lower interface, commonly known as outbound. An outbound access list is useful, for example, if you want to allow only certain hosts on the inside networks to access a web server on the outside network. Rather than creating multiple inbound access lists to restrict access, you can create a single outbound access list that allows only the specified hosts 18-2 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 18 Permitting or Denying Network Access Applying an Access List to an Interface (see Figure 18-1). See the “IP Addresses Used for Access Lists When You Use NAT” section on page 16-3 for information about NAT and IP addresses. The outbound access list prevents any other hosts from reaching the outside network. Figure 18-1 Outbound Access List See the following commands for this example: hostname(config)# access-list OUTSIDE extended permit tcp host 209.165.201.4 host 209.165.200.225 eq www hostname(config)# access-list OUTSIDE extended permit tcp host 209.165.201.6 host 209.165.200.225 eq www hostname(config)# access-list OUTSIDE extended permit tcp host 209.165.201.8 host 209.165.200.225 eq www hostname(config)# access-group OUTSIDE out interface outside Applying an Access List to an Interface To apply an extended access list to the inbound or outbound direction of an interface, enter the following command: hostname(config)# access-group access_list_name {in | out} interface interface_name [per-user-override] You can apply one access list of each type (extended and EtherType) to both directions of the interface. See the “Inbound and Outbound Access List Overview” section on page 18-1 for more information about access list directions. Web Server: 209.165.200.225 Inside HR Eng Outside Static NAT 10.1.1.14 209.165.201.4 Static NAT 10.1.2.67 209.165.201.6 Static NAT 10.1.3.34 209.165.201.8 ACL Outbound Permit HTTP from 209.165.201.4, 209.165.201.6, and 209.165.201.8 to 209.165.200.225 Deny all others 132210 ACL Inbound Permit from any to any ACL Inbound Permit from any to any ACL Inbound Permit from any to any Security appliance 18-3 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 18 Permitting or Denying Network Access Applying an Access List to an Interface The per-user-override keyword allows dynamic access lists that are downloaded for user authorization to override the access list assigned to the interface. For example, if the interface access list denies all traffic from 10.0.0.0, but the dynamic access list permits all traffic from 10.0.0.0, then the dynamic access list overrides the interface access list for that user. See the “Configuring RADIUS Authorization” section for more information about per-user access lists. The per-user-override keyword is only available for inbound access lists. For connectionless protocols, you need to apply the access list to the source and destination interfaces if you want traffic to pass in both directions. The following example illustrates the commands required to enable access to an inside web server with the IP address 209.165.201.12 (this IP address is the address visible on the outside interface after NAT): hostname(config)# access-list ACL_OUT extended permit tcp any host 209.165.201.12 eq www hostname(config)# access-group ACL_OUT in interface outside You also need to configure NAT for the web server. The following access lists allow any hosts to communicate between the inside and hr networks, but only specific hosts (209.168.200.3 and 209.168.200.4) to access the outside network, as shown in the last line below: hostname(config)# access-list ANY extended permit ip any any hostname(config)# access-list OUT extended permit ip host 209.168.200.3 any hostname(config)# access-list OUT extended permit ip host 209.168.200.4 any hostname(config)# access-group ANY in interface inside hostname(config)# access-group ANY in interface hr hostname(config)# access-group OUT out interface outside For example, the following sample access list allows common EtherTypes originating on the inside interface: hostname(config)# access-list ETHER ethertype permit ipx hostname(config)# access-list ETHER ethertype permit bpdu hostname(config)# access-list ETHER ethertype permit mpls-unicast hostname(config)# access-group ETHER in interface inside The following access list allows some EtherTypes through the security appliance, but denies all others: hostname(config)# access-list ETHER ethertype permit 0x1234 hostname(config)# access-list ETHER ethertype permit bpdu hostname(config)# access-list ETHER ethertype permit mpls-unicast hostname(config)# access-group ETHER in interface inside hostname(config)# access-group ETHER in interface outside The following access list denies traffic with EtherType 0x1256 but allows all others on both interfaces: hostname(config)# access-list nonIP ethertype deny 1256 hostname(config)# access-list nonIP ethertype permit any hostname(config)# access-group ETHER in interface inside hostname(config)# access-group ETHER in interface outside 18-4 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 18 Permitting or Denying Network Access Applying an Access List to an Interface CH A P T E R 19-1 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 19 Applying AAA for Network Access This chapter describes how to enable AAA (pronounced “triple A”) for network access. For information about AAA for management access, see the “Configuring AAA for System Administrators” section on page 40-5. This chapter contains the following sections: • AAA Performance, page 19-1 • Configuring Authentication for Network Access, page 19-1 • Configuring Authorization for Network Access, page 19-6 • Configuring Accounting for Network Access, page 19-13 • Using MAC Addresses to Exempt Traffic from Authentication and Authorization, page 19-14 AAA Performance The security appliance uses “cut-through proxy” to significantly improve performance compared to a traditional proxy server. The performance of a traditional proxy server suffers because it analyzes every packet at the application layer of the OSI model. The security appliance cut-through proxy challenges a user initially at the application layer and then authenticates against standard AAA servers or the local database. After the security appliance authenticates the user, it shifts the session flow, and all traffic flows directly and quickly between the source and destination while maintaining session state information. Configuring Authentication for Network Access This section includes the following topics: • Authentication Overview, page 19-2 • Enabling Network Access Authentication, page 19-3 • Enabling Secure Authentication of Web Clients, page 19-5 • Authenticating Directly with the Security Appliance, page 19-6 19-2 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 19 Applying AAA for Network Access Configuring Authentication for Network Access Authentication Overview The security appliance lets you configure network access authentication using AAA servers. This section includes the following topics: • One-Time Authentication, page 19-2 • Applications Required to Receive an Authentication Challenge, page 19-2 • Security Appliance Authentication Prompts, page 19-2 • Static PAT and HTTP, page 19-3 • Enabling Network Access Authentication, page 19-3 One-Time Authentication A user at a given IP address only needs to authenticate one time for all rules and types, until the authentication session expires. (See the timeout uauth command in the Cisco Security Appliance Command Reference for timeout values.) For example, if you configure the security appliance to authenticate Telnet and FTP, and a user first successfully authenticates for Telnet, then as long as the authentication session exists, the user does not also have to authenticate for FTP. Applications Required to Receive an Authentication Challenge Although you can configure the security appliance to require authentication for network access to any protocol or service, users can authenticate directly with HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, or FTP only. A user must first authenticate with one of these services before the security appliance allows other traffic requiring authentication. The authentication ports that the security appliance supports for AAA are fixed: • Port 21 for FTP • Port 23 for Telnet • Port 80 for HTTP • Port 443 for HTTPS Security Appliance Authentication Prompts For Telnet and FTP, the security appliance generates an authentication prompt. For HTTP, the security appliance uses basic HTTP authentication by default, and provides an authentication prompt. You can optionally configure the security appliance to redirect users to an internal web page where they can enter their username and password (configured with the aaa authentication listener command). For HTTPS, the security appliance generates a custom login screen. You can optionally configure the security appliance to redirect users to an internal web page where they can enter their username and password (configured with the aaa authentication listener command). Redirection is an improvement over the basic method because it provides an improved user experience when authenticating, and an identical user experience for HTTP and HTTPS in both Easy VPN and firewall modes. It also supports authenticating directly with the security appliance. 19-3 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 19 Applying AAA for Network Access Configuring Authentication for Network Access You might want to continue to use basic HTTP authentication if: you do not want the security appliance to open listening ports; if you use NAT on a router and you do not want to create a translation rule for the web page served by the security appliance; basic HTTP authentication might work better with your network. For example non-browser applications, like when a URL is embedded in email, might be more compatible with basic authentication. After you authenticate correctly, the security appliance redirects you to your original destination. If the destination server also has its own authentication, the user enters another username and password. If you use basic HTTP authentication and need to enter another username and password for the destination server, then you need to configure the virtual http command. Note If you use HTTP authentication without using the aaa authentication secure-http-client command, the username and password are sent from the client to the security appliance in clear text. We recommend that you use the aaa authentication secure-http-client command whenever you enable HTTP authentication. For more information about the aaa authentication secure-http-client command, see the “Enabling Secure Authentication of Web Clients” section on page 19-5. For FTP, a user has the option of entering the security appliance username followed by an at sign (@) and then the FTP username (name1@name2). For the password, the user enters the security appliance password followed by an at sign (@) and then the FTP password (password1@password2). For example, enter the following text. name> jamiec@jchrichton password> letmein@he110 This feature is useful when you have cascaded firewalls that require multiple logins. You can separate several names and passwords by multiple at signs (@). Static PAT and HTTP For HTTP authentication, the security appliance checks real ports when static PAT is configured. If it detects traffic destined for real port 80, regardless of the mapped port, the security appliance intercepts the HTTP connection and enforces authentication. For example, assume that outside TCP port 889 is translated to port 80 (www) and that any relevant access lists permit the traffic: static (inside,outside) tcp 10.48.66.155 889 192.168.123.10 www netmask 255.255.255.255 Then when users try to access 10.48.66.155 on port 889, the security appliance intercepts the traffic and enforces HTTP authentication. Users see the HTTP authentication page in their web browsers before the security appliance allows HTTP connection to complete. If the local port is different than port 80, as in the following example: static (inside,outside) tcp 10.48.66.155 889 192.168.123.10 111 netmask 255.255.255.255 Then users do not see the authentication page. Instead, the security appliance sends to the web browser an error message indicating that the user must be authenticated prior using the requested service. Enabling Network Access Authentication To enable network access authentication, perform the following steps: 19-4 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 19 Applying AAA for Network Access Configuring Authentication for Network Access Step 1 Using the aaa-server command, identify your AAA servers. If you have already identified your AAA servers, continue to the next step. For more information about identifying AAA servers, see the “Identifying AAA Server Groups and Servers” section on page 13-12. Step 2 Using the access-list command, create an access list that identifies the source addresses and destination addresses of traffic you want to authenticate. For steps, see the “Adding an Extended Access List” section on page 16-5. The permit ACEs mark matching traffic for authentication, while deny entries exclude matching traffic from authentication. Be sure to include the destination ports for either HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, or FTP in the access list because the user must authenticate with one of these services before other services are allowed through the security appliance. Step 3 To configure authentication, enter the following command: hostname(config)# aaa authentication match acl_name interface_name server_group Where acl_name is the name of the access list you created in Step 2, interface_name is the name of the interface as specified with the nameif command, and server_group is the AAA server group you created in Step 1. Note You can alternatively use the aaa authentication include command (which identifies traffic within the command). However, you cannot use both methods in the same configuration. See the Cisco Security Appliance Command Reference for more information. Step 4 (Optional) To enable the redirection method of authentication for HTTP or HTTPS connections, enter the following command: hostname(config)# aaa authentication listener http[s] interface_name [port portnum] redirect where the interface_name argument is the interface on which you want to enable listening ports. The port portnum argument specifies the port number that the security appliance listens on; the defaults are 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS). Enter this command separately for HTTP and for HTTPS. Step 5 (Optional) If you are using the local database for network access authentication and you want to limit the number of consecutive failed login attempts that the security appliance allows any given user account, use the following command: hostname(config)# aaa local authentication attempts max-fail number Where number is between 1 and 16. For example: hostname(config)# aaa local authentication attempts max-fail 7 Tip To clear the lockout status of a specific user or all users, use the clear aaa local user lockout command. For example, the following commands authenticate all inside HTTP traffic and SMTP traffic: hostname(config)# aaa-server AuthOutbound protocol tacacs+ 19-5 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 19 Applying AAA for Network Access Configuring Authentication for Network Access hostname(config-aaa-server-group)# exit hostname(config)# aaa-server AuthOutbound (inside) host 10.1.1.1 hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# key TACPlusUauthKey hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# exit hostname(config)# access-list MAIL_AUTH extended permit tcp any any eq smtp hostname(config)# access-list MAIL_AUTH extended permit tcp any any eq www hostname(config)# aaa authentication match MAIL_AUTH inside AuthOutbound hostname(config)# aaa authentication listener http inside redirect The following commands authenticate Telnet traffic from the outside interface to a particular server (209.165.201.5): hostname(config)# aaa-server AuthInbound protocol tacacs+ hostname(config-aaa-server-group)# exit hostname(config)# aaa-server AuthInbound (inside) host 10.1.1.1 hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# key TACPlusUauthKey hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# exit hostname(config)# access-list TELNET_AUTH extended permit tcp any host 209.165.201.5 eq telnet hostname(config)# aaa authentication match TELNET_AUTH outside AuthInbound Enabling Secure Authentication of Web Clients The security appliance provides a method of securing HTTP authentication. Without securing HTTP authentication, usernames and passwords from the client to the security appliance would be passed as clear text. By using the aaa authentication secure-http-client command, you enable the exchange of usernames and passwords between a web client and the security appliance with HTTPS. After enabling this feature, when a user requires authentication when using HTTP, the security appliance redirects the HTTP user to an HTTPS prompt. After you authenticate correctly, the security appliance redirects you to the original HTTP URL. To enable secure authentication of web clients, enter the following command: hostname(config)# aaa authentication secure-http-client Secured web-client authentication has the following limitations: • A maximum of 16 concurrent HTTPS authentication sessions are allowed. If all 16 HTTPS authentication processes are running, a new connection requiring authentication will not succeed. • When uauth timeout 0 is configured (the uauth timeout is set to 0), HTTPS authentication might not work. If a browser initiates multiple TCP connections to load a web page after HTTPS authentication, the first connection is let through, but the subsequent connections trigger authentication. As a result, users are continuously presented with an authentication page, even if the correct username and password are entered each time. To work around this, set the uauth timeout to 1 second with the timeout uauth 0:0:1 command. However, this workaround opens a 1-second window of opportunity that might allow non-authenticated users to go through the firewall if they are coming from the same source IP address. • Because HTTPS authentication occurs on the SSL port 443, users must not configure an access-list command statement to block traffic from the HTTP client to HTTP server on port 443. Furthermore, if static PAT is configured for web traffic on port 80, it must also be configured for the SSL port. In the following example, the first line configures static PAT for web traffic and the second line must be added to support the HTTPS authentication configuration. static (inside,outside) tcp 10.132.16.200 www 10.130.16.10 www static (inside,outside) tcp 10.132.16.200 443 10.130.16.10 443 19-6 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 19 Applying AAA for Network Access Configuring Authorization for Network Access Authenticating Directly with the Security Appliance If you do not want to allow HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, or FTP through the security appliance but want to authenticate other types of traffic, you can authenticate with the security appliance directly using HTTP, HTTPS, or Telnet. This section includes the following topics: • Enabling Direct Authentication Using HTTP and HTTPS, page 19-6 • Enabling Direct Authentication Using Telnet, page 19-6 Enabling Direct Authentication Using HTTP and HTTPS If you enabled the redirect method of HTTP and HTTPS authentication in the “Enabling Network Access Authentication” section on page 19-3, then you also automatically enabled direct authentication. If you want to continue to use basic HTTP authentication, but want to enable direct authentication for HTTP and HTTPS, then enter the following command: hostname(config)# aaa authentication listener http[s] interface_name [port portnum] where the interface_name argument is the interface on which you want to enable direct authentication. The port portnum argument specifies the port number that the security appliance listens on; the defaults are 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS). Enter this command separately for HTTP and for HTTPS. You can authenticate directly with the security appliance at the following URLs when you enable AAA for the interface: http://interface_ip[:port]/netaccess/connstatus.html https://interface_ip[:port]/netaccess/connstatus.html Enabling Direct Authentication Using Telnet To enable direct authentication with Telnet, configure a virtual Telnet server. With virtual Telnet, the user Telnets to a given IP address configured on the security appliance, and the security appliance provides a Telnet prompt. To configure a virtual Telnet server, enter the following command: hostname(config)# virtual telnet ip_address where the ip_address argument sets the IP address for the virtual Telnet server. Make sure this address is an unused address that is routed to the security appliance. For example, if you perform NAT for inside addresses when they access the outside, and you want to provide outside access to the virtual Telnet server, you can use one of the global NAT addresses for the virtual Telnet server address. Configuring Authorization for Network Access After a user authenticates for a given connection, the security appliance can use authorization to further control traffic from the user. This section includes the following topics: • Configuring TACACS+ Authorization, page 19-7 • Configuring RADIUS Authorization, page 19-8 19-7 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 19 Applying AAA for Network Access Configuring Authorization for Network Access Configuring TACACS+ Authorization You can configure the security appliance to perform network access authorization with TACACS+. You identify the traffic to be authorized by specifying access lists that authorization rules must match. Alternatively, you can identify the traffic directly in authorization rules themselves. Tip Using access lists to identify traffic to be authorized can greatly reduced the number of authorization commands you must enter. This is because each authorization rule you enter can specify only one source and destination subnet and service, whereas an access list can include many entries. Authentication and authorization statements are independent; however, any unauthenticated traffic matched by an authorization statement will be denied. For authorization to succeed, a user must first authenticate with the security appliance. Because a user at a given IP address only needs to authenticate one time for all rules and types, if the authentication session hasn’t expired, authorization can occur even if the traffic is matched by an authentication statement. After a user authenticates, the security appliance checks the authorization rules for matching traffic. If the traffic matches the authorization statement, the security appliance sends the username to the TACACS+ server. The TACACS+ server responds to the security appliance with a permit or a deny for that traffic, based on the user profile. The security appliance enforces the authorization rule in the response. See the documentation for your TACACS+ server for information about configuring network access authorizations for a user. To configure TACACS+ authorization, perform the following steps: Step 1 Enable authentication. For more information, see the “Enabling Network Access Authentication” section on page 19-3. If you have already enabled authentication, continue to the next step. Step 2 Using the access-list command, create an access list that identifies the source addresses and destination addresses of traffic you want to authorize. For steps, see the “Adding an Extended Access List” section on page 16-5. The permit ACEs mark matching traffic for authorization, while deny entries exclude matching traffic from authorization. The access list you use for authorization matching should contain rules that are equal to or a subset of the rules in the access list used for authentication matching. Note If you have configured authentication and want to authorize all the traffic being authenticated, you can use the same access list you created for use with the aaa authentication match command. Step 3 To enable authorization, enter the following command: hostname(config)# aaa authorization match acl_name interface_name server_group where acl_name is the name of the access list you created in Step 2, interface_name is the name of the interface as specified with the nameif command or by default, and server_group is the AAA server group you created when you enabled authentication. 19-8 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 19 Applying AAA for Network Access Configuring Authorization for Network Access Note Alternatively, you can use the aaa authorization include command (which identifies traffic within the command) but you cannot use both methods in the same configuration. See the Cisco Security Appliance Command Reference for more information. The following commands authenticate and authorize inside Telnet traffic. Telnet traffic to servers other than 209.165.201.5 can be authenticated alone, but traffic to 209.165.201.5 requires authorization. hostname(config)# access-list TELNET_AUTH extended permit tcp any any eq telnet hostname(config)# access-list SERVER_AUTH extended permit tcp any host 209.165.201.5 eq telnet hostname(config)# aaa-server AuthOutbound protocol tacacs+ hostname(config-aaa-server-group)# exit hostname(config)# aaa-server AuthOutbound (inside) host 10.1.1.1 hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# key TACPlusUauthKey hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# exit hostname(config)# aaa authentication match TELNET_AUTH inside AuthOutbound hostname(config)# aaa authorization match SERVER_AUTH inside AuthOutbound Configuring RADIUS Authorization When authentication succeeds, the RADIUS protocol returns user authorizations in the access-accept message sent by a RADIUS server. For more information about configuring authentication, see the “Configuring Authentication for Network Access” section on page 19-1. When you configure the security appliance to authenticate users for network access, you are also implicitly enabling RADIUS authorizations; therefore, this section contains no information about configuring RADIUS authorization on the security appliance. It does provide information about how the security appliance handles access list information received from RADIUS servers. You can configure a RADIUS server to download an access list to the security appliance or an access list name at the time of authentication. The user is authorized to do only what is permitted in the user-specific access list. Note If you have used the access-group command to apply access lists to interfaces, be aware of the following effects of the per-user-override keyword on authorization by user-specific access lists: • Without the per-user-override keyword, traffic for a user session must be permitted by both the interface access list and the user-specific access list. • With the per-user-override keyword, the user-specific access list determines what is permitted. For more information, see the access-group command entry in the Cisco Security Appliance Command Reference. This section includes the following topics: • Configuring a RADIUS Server to Send Downloadable Access Control Lists, page 19-9 • Configuring a RADIUS Server to Download Per-User Access Control List Names, page 19-12 19-9 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 19 Applying AAA for Network Access Configuring Authorization for Network Access Configuring a RADIUS Server to Send Downloadable Access Control Lists This section describes how to configure Cisco Secure ACS or a third-party RADIUS server, and includes the following topics: • About the Downloadable Access List Feature and Cisco Secure ACS, page 19-9 • Configuring Cisco Secure ACS for Downloadable Access Lists, page 19-10 • Configuring Any RADIUS Server for Downloadable Access Lists, page 19-11 • Converting Wildcard Netmask Expressions in Downloadable Access Lists, page 19-12 About the Downloadable Access List Feature and Cisco Secure ACS Downloadable access lists is the most scalable means of using Cisco Secure ACS to provide the appropriate access lists for each user. It provides the following capabilities: • Unlimited access list size—Downloadable access lists are sent using as many RADIUS packets as required to transport the full access list from Cisco Secure ACS to the security appliance. • Simplified and centralized management of access lists—Downloadable access lists enable you to write a set of access lists once and apply it to many user or group profiles and distribute it to many security appliances. This approach is most useful when you have very large access list sets that you want to apply to more than one Cisco Secure ACS user or group; however, its ability to simplify Cisco Secure ACS user and group management makes it useful for access lists of any size. The security appliance receives downloadable access lists from Cisco Secure ACS using the following process: 1. The security appliance sends a RADIUS authentication request packet for the user session. 2. If Cisco Secure ACS successfully authenticates the user, Cisco Secure ACS returns a RADIUS access-accept message that contains the internal name of the applicable downloadable access list. The Cisco IOS cisco-av-pair RADIUS VSA (vendor 9, attribute 1) contains the following attribute-value pair to identify the downloadable access list set: ACS:CiscoSecure-Defined-ACL=acl-set-name where acl-set-name is the internal name of the downloadable access list, which is a combination of the name assigned to the access list by the Cisco Secure ACS administrator and the date and time that the access list was last modified. 3. The security appliance examines the name of the downloadable access list and determines if it has previously received the named downloadable access list. – If the security appliance has previously received the named downloadable access list, communication with Cisco Secure ACS is complete and the security appliance applies the access list to the user session. Because the name of the downloadable access list includes the date and time it was last modified, matching the name sent by Cisco Secure ACS to the name of an access list previous downloaded means that the security appliance has the most recent version of the downloadable access list. – If the security appliance has not previously received the named downloadable access list, it may have an out-of-date version of the access list or it may not have downloaded any version of the access list. In either case, the security appliance issues a RADIUS authentication request using the downloadable access list name as the username in the RADIUS request and a null password attribute. In a cisco-av-pair RADIUS VSA, the request also includes the following attribute-value pairs: 19-10 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 19 Applying AAA for Network Access Configuring Authorization for Network Access AAA:service=ip-admission AAA:event=acl-download In addition, the security appliance signs the request with the Message-Authenticator attribute (IETF RADIUS attribute 80). 4. Upon receipt of a RADIUS authentication request that has a username attribute containing the name of a downloadable access list, Cisco Secure ACS authenticates the request by checking the Message-Authenticator attribute. If the Message-Authenticator attribute is missing or incorrect, Cisco Secure ACS ignores the request. The presence of the Message-Authenticator attribute prevents malicious use of a downloadable access list name to gain unauthorized network access. The Message-Authenticator attribute and its use are defined in RFC 2869, RADIUS Extensions, available at http://www.ietf.org. 5. If the access list required is less than approximately 4 KB in length, Cisco Secure ACS responds with an access-accept message containing the access list. The largest access list that can fit in a single access-accept message is slightly less than 4 KB because some of the message must be other required attributes. Cisco Secure ACS sends the downloadable access list in a cisco-av-pair RADIUS VSA. The access list is formatted as a series of attribute-value pairs that each contain an ACE and are numbered serially: ip:inacl#1=ACE-1 ip:inacl#2=ACE-2 . . . ip:inacl#n=ACE-n An example of an attribute-value pair follows: ip:inacl#1=permit tcp 10.1.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 6. If the access list required is more than approximately 4 KB in length, Cisco Secure ACS responds with an access-challenge message that contains a portion of the access list, formatted as described above, and an State attribute (IETF RADIUS attribute 24), which contains control data used by Cisco Secure ACS to track the progress of the download. Cisco Secure ACS fits as many complete attribute-value pairs into the cisco-av-pair RADIUS VSA as it can without exceeding the maximum RADIUS message size. The security appliance stores the portion of the access list received and responds with another access-request message containing the same attributes as the first request for the downloadable access list plus a copy of the State attribute received in the access-challenge message. This repeats until Cisco Secure ACS sends the last of the access list in an access-accept message. Configuring Cisco Secure ACS for Downloadable Access Lists You can configure downloadable access lists on Cisco Secure ACS as a shared profile component and then assign the access list to a group or to an individual user. The access list definition consists of one or more security appliance commands that are similar to the extended access-list command (see the “Adding an Extended Access List” section on page 16-5), except without the following prefix: access-list acl_name extended The following example is a downloadable access list definition on Cisco Secure ACS version 3.3: +--------------------------------------------+ 19-11 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 19 Applying AAA for Network Access Configuring Authorization for Network Access | Shared profile Components | | | | Downloadable IP ACLs Content | | | | Name: acs_ten_acl | | | | ACL Definitions | | | | permit tcp any host 10.0.0.254 | | permit udp any host 10.0.0.254 | | permit icmp any host 10.0.0.254 | | permit tcp any host 10.0.0.253 | | permit udp any host 10.0.0.253 | | permit icmp any host 10.0.0.253 | | permit tcp any host 10.0.0.252 | | permit udp any host 10.0.0.252 | | permit icmp any host 10.0.0.252 | | permit ip any any | +--------------------------------------------+ For more information about creating downloadable access lists and associating them with users, see the user guide for your version of Cisco Secure ACS. On the security appliance, the downloaded access list has the following name: #ACSACL#-ip-acl_name-number The acl_name argument is the name that is defined on Cisco Secure ACS (acs_ten_acl in the preceding example), and number is a unique version ID generated by Cisco Secure ACS. The downloaded access list on the security appliance consists of the following lines: access-list #ACSACL#-ip-asa-acs_ten_acl-3b5385f7 permit tcp any host 10.0.0.254 access-list #ACSACL#-ip-asa-acs_ten_acl-3b5385f7 permit udp any host 10.0.0.254 access-list #ACSACL#-ip-asa-acs_ten_acl-3b5385f7 permit icmp any host 10.0.0.254 access-list #ACSACL#-ip-asa-acs_ten_acl-3b5385f7 permit tcp any host 10.0.0.253 access-list #ACSACL#-ip-asa-acs_ten_acl-3b5385f7 permit udp any host 10.0.0.253 access-list #ACSACL#-ip-asa-acs_ten_acl-3b5385f7 permit icmp any host 10.0.0.253 access-list #ACSACL#-ip-asa-acs_ten_acl-3b5385f7 permit tcp any host 10.0.0.252 access-list #ACSACL#-ip-asa-acs_ten_acl-3b5385f7 permit udp any host 10.0.0.252 access-list #ACSACL#-ip-asa-acs_ten_acl-3b5385f7 permit icmp any host 10.0.0.252 access-list #ACSACL#-ip-asa-acs_ten_acl-3b5385f7 permit ip any any Configuring Any RADIUS Server for Downloadable Access Lists You can configure any RADIUS server that supports Cisco IOS RADIUS VSAs to send user-specific access lists to the security appliance in a Cisco IOS RADIUS cisco-av-pair VSA (vendor 9, attribute 1). In the cisco-av-pair VSA, configure one or more ACEs that are similar to the access-list extended command (see the “Adding an Extended Access List” section on page 16-5), except that you replace the following command prefix: access-list acl_name extended with the following text: ip:inacl#nnn= The nnn argument is a number in the range from 0 to 999999999 that identifies the order of the command statement to be configured on the security appliance. If this parameter is omitted, the sequence value is 0, and the order of the ACEs inside the cisco-av-pair RADIUS VSA is used. 19-12 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 19 Applying AAA for Network Access Configuring Authorization for Network Access The following example is an access list definition as it should be configured for a cisco-av-pair VSA on a RADIUS server: ip:inacl#1=permit tcp 10.1.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 ip:inacl#99=deny tcp any any ip:inacl#2=permit udp 10.1.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 ip:inacl#100=deny udp any any ip:inacl#3=permit icmp 10.1.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 For information about making unique per user the access lists that are sent in the cisco-av-pair attribute, see the documentation for your RADIUS server. On the security appliance, the downloaded access list name has the following format: AAA-user-username The username argument is the name of the user that is being authenticated. The downloaded access list on the security appliance consists of the following lines. Notice the order based on the numbers identified on the RADIUS server. access-list AAA-user-bcham34-79AD4A08 permit tcp 10.1.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 access-list AAA-user-bcham34-79AD4A08 permit udp 10.1.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 access-list AAA-user-bcham34-79AD4A08 permit icmp 10.1.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 access-list AAA-user-bcham34-79AD4A08 deny tcp any any access-list AAA-user-bcham34-79AD4A08 deny udp any any Downloaded access lists have two spaces between the word “access-list” and the name. These spaces serve to differentiate a downloaded access list from a local access list. In this example, “79AD4A08” is a hash value generated by the security appliance to help determine when access list definitions have changed on the RADIUS server. Converting Wildcard Netmask Expressions in Downloadable Access Lists If a RADIUS server provides downloadable access lists to Cisco VPN 3000 Series Concentrators as well as to the security appliance, you may need the security appliance to convert wildcard netmask expressions to standard netmask expressions. This is because Cisco VPN 3000 Series Concentrators support wildcard netmask expressions but the security appliance only supports standard netmask expressions. Configuring the security appliance to convert wildcard netmask expressions helps minimize the effects of these differences upon how you configure downloadable access lists on your RADIUS servers. Translation of wildcard netmask expressions means that downloadable access lists written for Cisco VPN 3000 Series Concentrators can be used by the security appliance without altering the configuration of the downloadable access lists on the RADIUS server. You configure access list netmask conversion on a per server basis, using the acl-netmask-convert command, available in the AAA-server configuration mode. For more information about configuring a RADIUS server, see “Identifying AAA Server Groups and Servers” section on page 13-12. For more information about the acl-netmask-convert command, see the Cisco Security Appliance Command Reference. Configuring a RADIUS Server to Download Per-User Access Control List Names To download a name for an access list that you already created on the security appliance from the RADIUS server when a user authenticates, configure the IETF RADIUS filter-id attribute (attribute number 11) as follows: filter-id=acl_name 19-13 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 19 Applying AAA for Network Access Configuring Accounting for Network Access Note In Cisco Secure ACS, the value for filter-id attributes are specified in boxes in the HTML interface, omitting filter-id= and entering only acl_name. For information about making unique per user the filter-id attribute value, see the documentation for your RADIUS server. See the “Adding an Extended Access List” section on page 16-5 to create an access list on the security appliance. Configuring Accounting for Network Access The security appliance can send accounting information to a RADIUS or TACACS+ server about any TCP or UDP traffic that passes through the security appliance. If that traffic is also authenticated, then the AAA server can maintain accounting information by username. If the traffic is not authenticated, the AAA server can maintain accounting information by IP address. Accounting information includes when sessions start and stop, username, the number of bytes that pass through the security appliance for the session, the service used, and the duration of each session. To configure accounting, perform the following steps: Step 1 If you want the security appliance to provide accounting data per user, you must enable authentication. For more information, see the “Enabling Network Access Authentication” section on page 19-3. If you want the security appliance to provide accounting data per IP address, enabling authentication is not necessary and you can continue to the next step. Step 2 Using the access-list command, create an access list that identifies the source addresses and destination addresses of traffic you want accounted. For steps, see the “Adding an Extended Access List” section on page 16-5. The permit ACEs mark matching traffic for authorization, while deny entries exclude matching traffic from authorization. Note If you have configured authentication and want accounting data for all the traffic being authenticated, you can use the same access list you created for use with the aaa authentication match command. Step 3 To enable accounting, enter the following command: hostname(config)# aaa accounting match acl_name interface_name server_group Note Alternatively, you can use the aaa accounting include command (which identifies traffic within the command) but you cannot use both methods in the same configuration. See the Cisco Security Appliance Command Reference for more information. The following commands authenticate, authorize, and account for inside Telnet traffic. Telnet traffic to servers other than 209.165.201.5 can be authenticated alone, but traffic to 209.165.201.5 requires authorization and accounting. 19-14 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 19 Applying AAA for Network Access Using MAC Addresses to Exempt Traffic from Authentication and Authorization hostname(config)# aaa-server AuthOutbound protocol tacacs+ hostname(config-aaa-server-group)# exit hostname(config)# aaa-server AuthOutbound (inside) host 10.1.1.1 hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# key TACPlusUauthKey hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# exit hostname(config)# access-list TELNET_AUTH extended permit tcp any any eq telnet hostname(config)# access-list SERVER_AUTH extended permit tcp any host 209.165.201.5 eq telnet hostname(config)# aaa authentication match TELNET_AUTH inside AuthOutbound hostname(config)# aaa authorization match SERVER_AUTH inside AuthOutbound hostname(config)# aaa accounting match SERVER_AUTH inside AuthOutbound Using MAC Addresses to Exempt Traffic from Authentication and Authorization The security appliance can exempt from authentication and authorization any traffic from specific MAC addresses. For example, if the security appliance authenticates TCP traffic originating on a particular network but you want to allow unauthenticated TCP connections from a specific server, you would use a MAC exempt rule to exempt from authentication and authorization any traffic from the server specified by the rule. This feature is particularly useful to exempt devices such as IP phones that cannot respond to authentication prompts. To use MAC addresses to exempt traffic from authentication and authorization, perform the following steps: Step 1 To configure a MAC list, enter the following command: hostname(config)# mac-list id {deny | permit} mac macmask Where the id argument is the hexadecimal number that you assign to the MAC list. To group a set of MAC addresses, enter the mac-list command as many times as needed with the same ID value. Because you can only use one MAC list for AAA exemption, be sure that your MAC list includes all the MAC addresses you want to exempt. You can create multiple MAC lists, but you can only use one at a time. The order of entries matters, because the packet uses the first entry it matches, as opposed to a best match scenario. If you have a permit entry, and you want to deny an address that is allowed by the permit entry, be sure to enter the deny entry before the permit entry. The mac argument specifies the source MAC address in 12-digit hexadecimal form; that is, nnnn.nnnn.nnnn. The macmask argument specifies the portion of the MAC address that should be used for matching. For example, ffff.ffff.ffff matches the MAC address exactly. ffff.ffff.0000 matches only the first 8 digits. Step 2 To exempt traffic for the MAC addresses specified in a particular MAC list, enter the following command: hostname(config)# aaa mac-exempt match id Where id is the string identifying the MAC list containing the MAC addresses whose traffic is to be exempt from authentication and authorization. You can only enter one instance of the aaa mac-exempt command. 19-15 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 19 Applying AAA for Network Access Using MAC Addresses to Exempt Traffic from Authentication and Authorization The following example bypasses authentication for a single MAC address: hostname(config)# mac-list abc permit 00a0.c95d.0282 ffff.ffff.ffff hostname(config)# aaa mac-exempt match abc The following entry bypasses authentication for all Cisco IP Phones, which have the hardware ID 0003.E3: hostname(config)# mac-list acd permit 0003.E300.0000 FFFF.FF00.0000 hostname(config)# aaa mac-exempt match acd The following example bypasses authentication for a a group of MAC addresses except for 00a0.c95d.02b2. Enter the deny statement before the permit statement, because 00a0.c95d.02b2 matches the permit statement as well, and if it is first, the deny statement will never be matched. hostname(config)# mac-list 1 deny 00a0.c95d.0282 ffff.ffff.ffff hostname(config)# mac-list 1 permit 00a0.c95d.0000 ffff.ffff.0000 hostname(config)# aaa mac-exempt match 1 19-16 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 19 Applying AAA for Network Access Using MAC Addresses to Exempt Traffic from Authentication and Authorization CH A P T E R 20-1 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 20 Applying Filtering Services This chapter describes ways to filter web traffic to reduce security risks or prevent inappropriate use. This chapter contains the following sections: • Filtering Overview, page 20-1 • Filtering ActiveX Objects, page 20-2 • Filtering Java Applets, page 20-3 • Filtering URLs and FTP Requests with an External Server, page 20-4 • Viewing Filtering Statistics and Configuration, page 20-9 Filtering Overview This section describes how filtering can provide greater control over traffic passing through the security appliance. Filtering can be used in two distinct ways: • Filtering ActiveX objects or Java applets • Filtering with an external filtering server Instead of blocking access altogether, you can remove specific undesirable objects from HTTP traffic, such as ActiveX objects or Java applets, that may pose a security threat in certain situations. You can also use URL filtering to direct specific traffic to an external filtering server, such an Secure Computing SmartFilter (formerly N2H2) or Websense filtering server. Long URL, HTTPS, and FTP filtering can now be enabled using both Websense and Secure Computing SmartFilter for URL filtering. Filtering servers can block traffic to specific sites or types of sites, as specified by the security policy. Note URL caching will only work if the version of the URL server software from the URL server vender supports it. Because URL filtering is CPU-intensive, using an external filtering server ensures that the throughput of other traffic is not affected. However, depending on the speed of your network and the capacity of your URL filtering server, the time required for the initial connection may be noticeably slower when filtering traffic with an external filtering server. 20-2 Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide OL-10088-02 Chapter 20 Applying Filtering Services Filtering ActiveX Objects Filtering ActiveX Objects This section describes how to apply filtering to remove ActiveX objects from HTTP traffic passing through the firewall. This section includes the following topics: • ActiveX Filtering Overview, page 20-2 • Enabling ActiveX Filtering, page 20-2 ActiveX Filtering Overview ActiveX objects may pose security risks because they can contain code intended to attack hosts and servers on a protected network. You can disable ActiveX objects with ActiveX filtering. ActiveX controls, formerly known as OLE or OCX controls, are components you can insert in a web page or other application. These controls include custom forms, calendars, or any of the extensive third-party forms for gathering or displaying information. As a technology, ActiveX creates many potential problems for network clients including causing workstations to fail, introducing network security problems, or being used to attack servers. The filter activex command blocks the HTML
