Modification

SSL Services Module Release 1.2(1)

Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 6500 series switches.


Usage Guidelines

The pass_phrase can be any phrase including spaces and punctuation except for "?", which has special meaning to the Cisco IOS parser.

Pass-phrase protection associates a pass phrase with the key. The pass phrase is used to encrypt the key when it is exported. When this key is imported, you must enter the same pass phrase to decrypt it.

A key that is marked as unexportable cannot be exported.

You can change the default file extensions when prompted. The default file extensions are as follows:

public key (.pub)

private key (.prv)

certificate (.crt)

CA certificate (.ca)

signature key (-sign)

encryption key (-encr)


Note In SSL software release 1.2, only the private key (.prv), the server certificate (.crt), and the issuer CA certificate (.ca) of the server certificate are exported. To export the whole certificate chain, including all the CA certificates, use a PKCS12 file instead of PEM files.


Examples

This example shows how to export a PEM-formatted file on the SSL Services Module:

ssl-proxy(config)# crypto ca import TP5 pem url tftp://10.1.1.1/TP5 password

Modification

SSL Services Module Release 1.2(1)

Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 6500 series switches.


Usage Guidelines

You will receive an error if you enter the pass phrase incorrectly.The pass_phrase can be any phrase including spaces and punctuation except for "?", which has special meaning to the Cisco IOS parser.

Pass-phrase protection associates a pass phrase with the key. The pass phrase is used to encrypt the key when it is exported. When this key is imported, you must enter the same pass phrase to decrypt it.

When importing RSA keys, you can use a public key or its corresponding certificate.

The crypto ca import pem command imports only the private key (.prv), the server certificate (.crt), and the issuer CA certificate (.ca). If you have more than one level of CA in the certificate chain, you need to import the root and subordinate CA certificates before this command is issued for authentication. Use cut-and-paste or TFTP to import the root and subordinate CA certificates.

Usage Guidelines

The show ssl-proxy conn commanddisplays these records:

Local Address

Remote Address

VLAN

Conid

Send-Q

Recv-Q

State

The State record indicates the TCP state of the connection between the SSL Services Module and a remote device. The TCP states are described in the following table:

Table 2-1 TCP Connection State Descriptions 

LISTEN

This module is wating for a request to initiate a TCP connection.

SYN_SEND

This module has sent a SYN packet to another device in order to initiate the opening of a TCP connection.

SYN_RECEIVED

This module has received a SYN packet from another device that is requesting to open a TCP connection.

ESTABLISHED

or ESTAB

The three-way TCP handshake (SYN, SYN/ACK, ACK) has been completed and a TCP connection is now established between this module and another device.

FIN_WAIT_1

This module has sent a FIN packet to a connected device in order to close the TCP connection.

TIME_WAIT

or TWAIT

This module has successfully completed a FIN sequence to close a TCP connection with a connected device. The connection will be held in this state for 30-120 seconds to receive any late packets.

CLOSE_WAIT

This module has received a FIN packet from a connected device that is requesting to close the TCP connection.

FIN_WAIT_2

After sending a FIN packet to a connected device in order to close the TCP connection, this module has received an ACK packet and is wating for a FIN packet.

LAST_ACK

At the request of a connected device, this module has closed the TCP connection and is waiting for a final ACK from the other device.

CLOSING

This module has actively closed the TCP connection and is waiting for a final ACK from the other device before entering the TIME_WAIT state.

CLOSED

A TCP connection has been closed with all wait times and acknowledgments completed.


Examples

These examples show different ways to display the TCP connection that is established from the SSL Services Module:

ssl-proxy device-check interval milliseconds reset-limit number

Syntax Description

interval milliseconds

Device check interval in milliseconds. The range is from 10 to 60000.

0 = device check disabled.

reset-limit number

Number of consecutive resets before rebooting. The range is from 0 to 60.

0 = unlimited.


Defaults

The device check is disabled.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

SSL Services Module Release 2.1(13)

Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 6500 series switches.


Usage Guidelines

This command is normally disabled (device check interval is 0). If the command is enabled, the SSLM checks the crypto device at every interval for proper operation. If there are outstanding requests older than the request interval, the crypto device is reset to return to operational status. A reset limit can also be configured. If the reset limit is set to default (zero), there is no limit. If the reset limit is non zero, the SSLM reboots if the device is reset for more than the reset-limit number of consecutive poll intervals.

Examples

This example shows how to set the device-check interval to 20 milliseconds, and reset-limit to 0:

ssl-proxy (config)# ssl-proxy device-check interval 20 reset-limit 0
 
   

This example shows how to check the number of resets that have occurred using the show ssl-proxy stats ssl command. Note the `device reset count' in the output.

Release
Modification

SSL Services Module Release 2.1(1)

Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 6500 series switches.


Usage Guidelines

In HTTP header insertion configuration submode, you can define the HTTP header insertion content policy that is applied to the payload.

HTTP header insertion allows you to insert additional HTTP headers to indicate to the real server that the connection is actually an SSL connection. These headers allows server applications to collect correct information for each SSL session and/or client.

You can insert these header types:

Client Certificate—Client certificate header insertion allows the back-end server to see the attributes of the client certificate that the SSL module has authenticated and approved. When you specify client-cert, the SSL module passes the following headers to the back-end server:

Client IP and Port Address—Network address translation (NAT) removes the client IP address and port information. When you specify client-ip-port, the SSL module inserts the client IP address and information about the client port into the HTTP header, allowing the server to see the client IP address and port.

Custom—When you specify custom custom-string, the SSL module inserts the user-defined header into the HTTP header.

Prefix—When you specify prefix prefix-string, the SSL module adds the specified prefix into the HTTP header to enable the server to identify that the connections are coming from the SSL module, not from other appliances.

SSL Session—Session headers, including the session ID, are used to cache client certificates that are based on the session ID. The session headers are also cached on a session basis if the server wants to track connections that are based on a particular cipher suite. When you specify session, the SSL module passes information that is specific to an SSL connection to the back-end server as session headers.

Table 2-2 lists the commands available in HTTP header insertion configuration submode.

Table 2-2 HTTP Header Insertion Configuration Submode Command Descriptions 

client-cert

Allows the back-end server to see the attributes of the client certificate that the SSL module has authenticated and approved.

client-ip-port

Inserts the client IP address and information about the client port into the HTTP header, allowing the server to see the client IP address and port.

custom custom-string

Inserts the custom-string header into the HTTP header. The maximum custom-string length is 239 characters. If this length is exceeded, an "Incomplete command" error will display. If the string includes spaces, you must enclose it in quotes ("").

prefix

Adds the prefix-string to the HTTP header to enable the server to identify the connections that come from the SSL module, not from other appliances

session

Passes information that is specific to an SSL connection to the back-end server as session headers.


Examples

This example shows how to enter the HTTP header insertion configuration submode:

ssl-proxy (config)# ssl-proxy policy http-header test1
ssl-proxy (config-http-header-policy)#
 
   

This example shows how to allow the back-end server to see the attributes of the client certificate that the SSL module has authenticated and approved:

ssl-proxy (config-http-header-policy)# client-cert
ssl-proxy (config-http-header-policy)#
 
   

This example shows how to insert the client IP address and information about the client port into the HTTP header, allowing the server to see the client IP address and port:

Usage Guidelines

Each SSL-policy configuration submode command is entered on its own line.

Table 2-3 lists the commands available in SSL-policy configuration submode.

Table 2-3 SSL-Policy Configuration Submode Command Descriptions 

cert-req empty

Allows you to specify that the SSL Services Module backend service always returns the certificate associated with the trustpoint and does not look for a CA-name match.

cipher-suite {RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA | RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA | RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 | RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA | all}

Allows you to configure a list of cipher-suites acceptable to the proxy-server; see the "Usage Guidelines" section for information about the cipher suites.

[no] close-protocol enable

Allows you to configure the SSL close-protocol behavior. Use the no form of this command to disable close protocol.

default {cipher | close-protocol | session-cache | version}

Sets a command to its default settings.

exit

Exits from SSL-policy configuration submode.

help

Provides a description of the interactive help system.

[no] session-cache enable

Allows you to enable the session-caching feature. Use the no form of this command to disable session-caching.

session-cache size size

Specifies the maximum number of session entries to be allocated for a given service; valid values are from 1 to 262143 entries.

timeout handshake timeout

Allows you to configure how long the module keeps the connection in handshake phase; valid values are from 0 to 65535 seconds.

timeout session timeout [absolute]

Allows you to configure the session timeout. The syntax description is as follows:

timeout—Session timeout; valid values are from 0 to 72000 seconds.

absolute—(Optional) The session entry is not removed until the configured timeout has completed.

tls-rollback [current | any]

Allows you to specify if the SSL protocol version number in the TLS/SSL premaster secret message is either the maximum version or the negotiated version (current), or if the version is not checked (any).

version {all | ssl3 | tls1}

Allows you to set the version of SSL to one of the following:

all—Both SSL3 and TLS1 versions are used.

ssl3—SSL version 3 is used.

tls1—TLS version 1 is used.


You can define the SSL policy templates using the ssl-proxy policy ssl ssl-policy-name command and associate a SSL policy with a particular proxy server using the proxy server configuration CLI. The SSL policy template allows you to define various parameters that are associated with the SSL handshake stack.

When you enable close-notify, a close-notify alert message is sent to the client and a close-notify alert message is expected from the client as well. When disabled, the server sends a close-notify alert message to the client; however, the server does not expect or wait for a close-notify message from the client before tearing down the session.

The cipher-suite names follow the same convention as the existing SSL stacks.

The cipher-suites that are acceptable to the proxy-server are as follows:

RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA— RSA with 3des-sha

RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA—RSA with des-sha

RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5—RSA with rc4-md5

RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA—RSA with rc4-sha

all—All supported ciphers

If you enter the timeout session timeout absolute command, the session entry is kept in the session cache for the configured timeout before it is cleaned up. If the session cache is full, the timers are active for all the entries, the absolute keyword is configured, and all further new sessions are rejected.

If you enter the timeout session timeout command without the absolute keyword, the specified timeout is treated as the maximum timeout and a best-effort is made to keep the session entry in the session cache. If the session cache runs out of session entries, the session entry that is currently being used is removed for incoming new connections.

When you enter the cert-req empty command, the SSL Services Module backend service always returns the certificate associated with the trustpoint and does not look for CA-name match. By default, the SSL Services Module always looks for the CA-name match before returning the certificate. If the SSL server does not include a CA-name list in the certificate request during client authentication, the handshake fails.

By default, the SSL Services Module uses the maximum supported SSL protocol version (SSL2.0, SSL3.0, TLS1.0) in the ClientHello message. Enter the tls-rollback [current | any] command if the SSL client uses the negotiated version instead of the maximum supported version (as specified in the ClientHello message).

When you enter the tls-rollback current command, the SSL protocol version can be either the maximum supported version or the negotiated version.

When you enter the tls-rollback any command, the SSL protocol version is not checked at all.

[no] timeout syn timeout-in-seconds

Allows you to configure the connection establishment timeout; valid values are from 5 to 75 seconds. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.

[no] timeout reassembly time

Allows you to configure the amount of time in seconds before the reassembly queue is cleared; valid values are from 0 to 960 seconds (0 = disabled). If the transaction is not complete within the specified time, the reassembly queue is cleared and the connection is dropped. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.

[no] tos carryover

Forwards the type of service (ToS) value to all packets within a flow.

Note If the policy is configured as a server TCP policy, the ToS value is sent from the server to the client. If the policy is configured as a virtual policy, the ToS value is sent from the client to the server.

Note The ToS value needs to be learned before it can be propagated. For example, when a ToS value is configured to be propagated from the server to client connection, the server connection must be established before the value is learned and propagated. Therefore, some of the initial packets will not carry the ToS value.


Usage Guidelines

TCP commands that you enter on the SSL Services Module can apply either globally or to a particular proxy server.

You can configure a different maximum segment size for the client side and the server side of the proxy server.

The TCP policy template allows you to define parameters that are associated with the TCP stack.

You can either enter the no form of the command or use the default keyword to return to the default setting.

url-string—Specifies the host portion of the URL link to be rewritten; it can have a maximum of 251 characters. You can use the "*" wildcard only as a prefix or a suffix of a hostname in a rewrite rule. For example, you can use the hostname in one of the following ways:

www.cisco.com

*.cisco.com

wwwin.cisco.*

clearport port-number—(Optional) Specifies the port portion of the URL link that is to be rewritten; valid values are from 1 to 65535.

sslport port-number—(Optional) Specifies the port portion of the URL link that is to be written; valid values are from 1 to 65535.

Enter the no form of the command to remove the policy.


Note When a server includes the default HTTP port number 80 in a URL redirect (for example, www.example.com:80), then the url command must be configured in the same manner (for example, url www.example.com:80). Non-standard port numbers need not be configured as part of the URL, but may instead by configured using the clearport keyword.

Usage Guidelines

In proxy-service configuration submode, you can configure the virtual IP address and port that is associated with the proxy service and the associated target IP address and port. You can also define TCP and SSL policies for both the client side (beginning with the virtual keyword) and the server side of the proxy (beginning with the server keyword).

In client proxy-service configuration submode, you specify that the proxy service accept clear-text traffic, encrypt it into SSL traffic, and forward it to the back-end SSL server.

In most cases, all of the SSL-server-proxy configurations that are performed are also valid for the SSL-client-proxy configuration, except for the following:

You must configure a certificate for the SSL-server-proxy but you do not have to configure a certificate for the SSL-client-proxy. If you configure a certificate for the SSL-client-proxy, that certificate is sent in response to the certificate request message that is sent by the server during the client-authentication phase of the handshake protocol.

The SSL policy is attached to the virtual subcommand for ssl-server-proxy where as it is attached to server SSL-client-proxy subcommand.

You must remove the administration VLAN status of the current administration VLAN before you can configure a different administration VLAN.

An administration VLAN is used for communication with the certificate agent (PKI) and the management station (SNMP).

When configuring the gateway, the drop keyword allows the SSL Services Module to drop a packet if a virtual service cannot be found relating to the packet.

When configuring the gateway, the forward keyword allows the SSL Services Module to forward a packet to the gateway of the specified VLAN if a virtual service cannot be found relating to the packet.

The valid values for configuring HSRP are as follows:

group-number(Optional) Group number on the interface for which HSRP is being activated; valid values are from 0 to 255. If you do not specify a group-number, group 0 is used.

ip ip-addr—Specifies the IP address of the HSRP interface.

priority priority— Specifies the priority for the HSRP interface. Increase the priority of at least one interface in the HSRP group. The interface with the highest priority becomes active for that HSRP group.

prempt —Enables preemption. When you enable preemption, if the local router has a hot standby priority that is higher than the current active router, the local router attempts to assume control as the active router. If you do not configure preemption, the local router assumes control as the active router only if it receives information indicating that no router is in the active state (acting as the designated router).

delay—(Optional) Specifies the preemption delay. When a router first comes up, it does not have a complete routing table. If it is configured to preempt, it becomes the active router but cannot provide adequate routing services. You can configure a delay before the preempting router actually preempts the currently active router.

type time—Specifies the preemption type and delay; valid values are as follows:

minimum time—Specifies the minimum delay period in delay seconds; valid values are from 0 to 3600 seconds (1 hour).

reload time—Specifies the preemption delay after a reload only.

sync time—Specifies the maximum synchronization period in delay seconds.

timers [msec] hellotime holdtime—Configures the time between hello packets and the time before other routers declare the active hot standby or standby router to be down; valid values are as follows:

msec—(Optional) Interval in milliseconds. Millisecond timers allow for faster failover.

hellotime—Hello interval (in seconds); valid values are from 1 to 254 seconds. If you specify the msec keyword, the hello interval is in milliseconds; valid values are from 15 to 999 milliseconds. The default is 3 seconds.

holdtime—Time (in seconds) before the active or standby router is declared to be down; valid values are from x to 255. If you specify the msec keyword, the holdtime is in milliseconds; valid values are from y to 3000 milliseconds. The default is 10 seconds.

Where:

x is the hellotime plus 50 milliseconds and is rounded up to the nearest 1 second.

y is greater than or equal to 3 times the hellotime and is not less than 50 milliseconds.

standby authentication

To configure an authentication string for HSRP, use the standby authentication command. Use the no form of this command to delete an authentication string.

standby [group-number] authentication text string

no standby [group-number] authentication text string

Syntax Description

group-number

(Optional) Group number on the interface to which this authentication string applies.

text string

Authentication string, which can be up to eight characters.


Defaults

The defaults are as follows:

group-number is 0.

string is cisco.

Command Modes

Command History

Release
Modification

SSL Services Module Release 2.1(1)

Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 6500 series switches.


Usage Guidelines

HSRP ignores unauthenticated HSRP messages.

The authentication string is sent unencrypted in all HSRP messages. You must configure the same authentication string on all routers and access servers on a cable to ensure interoperation. Authentication mismatch prevents a device from learning the designated hot standby IP address and the hot standby timer values from the other routers that are configured with HSRP.

When you use group number 0, no group number is written to NVRAM, providing backward compatibility.

Examples

This example shows how to configure "word" as the authentication string to allow hot standby routers in group 1 to interoperate:

ssl-proxy (config-vlan)# standby 1 authentication text word
ssl-proxy (config-vlan)#

standby delay minimum reload

To configure a delay before the HSRP groups are initialized, use the standby delay minimum reload command. Use the no form of this command to disable the delay.

standby delay minimum [min-delay] reload [reload-delay]

no standby delay minimum [min-delay] reload [reload-delay]

Syntax Description

min-delay

(Optional) Minimum time (in seconds) to delay HSRP group initialization after an interface comes up; valid values are from ____ to ____ seconds.

reload-delay

(Optional) Time (in seconds) to delay after the router has reloaded; valid values are from ____ to ____ seconds.


Defaults

The defaults are as follows:

min-delay is 1 second.

reload-delay is 5 seconds.

Command Modes

Proxy-VLAN configuration submode

Command History

Release
Modification

SSL Services Module Release 2.1(1)

Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 6500 series switches.


Usage Guidelines

The min-delay applies to all subsequent interface events.

The reload-delay applies only to the first interface-up event after the router has reloaded.

If the active router fails or you remove it from the network, the standby router automatically becomes the new active router. If the former active router comes back online, you can control whether it takes over as the active router by using the standby preempt command.

However, in some cases, even if you do not use the standby preempt command, the former active router resumes the active role after it reloads and comes back online. Use the standby delay minimum reload command to set a delay for HSRP group initialization. This command allows time for the packets to get through before the router resumes the active role.

We recommend that you use the standby delay minimum reload command if the standby timers command is configured in milliseconds or if HSRP is configured on a VLAN interface of a switch.

In most configurations, the default values provide sufficient time for the packets to get through and configuring longer delay values is not necessary.

The delay is canceled if an HSRP packet is received on an interface.

Examples

This example shows how to set the minimum delay to 30 seconds and the delay after the first reload to 120 seconds:

ssl-proxy (config-vlan)# standby delay minimum 30 reload 120
ssl-proxy (config-vlan)#

Modification

SSL Services Module Release 2.1(1)

Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 6500 series switches.


Usage Guidelines

The standby ip command allows you to configure primary and secondary HSRP addresses.

The standby ip command activates HSRP on the configured interface. If you specify an IP address, that address is used as the designated address for the hot standby group. If you do not specifiy an IP address, the designated address is learned through the standby function. So that HSRP can elect a designated router, at least one router on the cable must have been configured with, or have learned, the designated address. Configuring the designated address on the active router always overrides a designated address that is currently in use.

When you enable the standby ip command on an interface, the handling of proxy ARP requests is changed (unless proxy ARP was disabled). If the hot standby state of the interface is active, proxy ARP requests are answered using the MAC address of the hot standby group. If the interface is in a different state, proxy ARP responses are suppressed.

When you use group number 0, no group number is written to NVRAM, providing backward compatibility.

Examples

This example shows how to activate HSRP for group 1 on Ethernet interface 0. The IP address that is used by the hot standby group is learned using HSRP.

ssl-proxy (config-vlan)# standby 1 ip
ssl-proxy (config-vlan)# 
 
   

This example shows how to indicate that the IP address is a secondary hot standby router interface:

ssl-proxy (config-vlan)# standby ip 1.1.1.254
ssl-proxy (config-vlan)# standby ip 1.2.2.254 secondary
ssl-proxy (config-vlan)# standby ip 1.3.3.254 secondary

standby mac-address

To specify a virtual MAC address for HSRP, use the standby mac-address command. Use the no form of this command to revert to the standard virtual MAC address (0000.0C07.ACxy).

standby [group-number] mac-address mac-address

no standby [group-number] mac-address

Syntax Description

group-number

(Optional) Group number on the interface for which HSRP is being activated. The default is 0.

mac-address

MAC address.


Defaults

If this command is not configured, and the standby use-bia command is not configured, the standard virtual MAC address is used: 0000.0C07.ACxy, where xy is the group number in hexadecimal. This address is specified in RFC 2281, Cisco Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP).

Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 6500 series switches.


Usage Guidelines

This command cannot be used on a Token Ring interface.

You can use HSRP to help end stations locate the first-hop gateway for IP routing. The end stations are configured with a default gateway. However, HSRP can provide first-hop redundancy for other protocols. Some protocols, such as Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN), use the MAC address to identify the first hop for routing purposes. In this case, it is often necessary to be able to specify the virtual MAC address; the virtual IP address is unimportant for these protocols. Use the standby mac-address command to specify the virtual MAC address.

The specified MAC address is used as the virtual MAC address when the router is active.

This command is intended for certain APPN configurations. The parallel terms are shown in Table 2-10.

In an APPN network, an end node is typically configured with the MAC address of the adjacent network node. Use the standby mac-address command in the routers to set the virtual MAC address to the value that is used in the end nodes.

Examples

This example shows how to configure HSRP group 1 with the virtual MAC address:

ssl-proxy (config-vlan)# standby 1 mac-address 4000.1000.1060
ssl-proxy (config-vlan)#

Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 6500 series switches.


Usage Guidelines

This command applies to HSRP running over FDDI only. Packets are sent every 10 seconds to refresh the MAC cache on learning bridges or switches. By default, the MAC cache entries age out in 300 seconds (5 minutes).

All other routers participating in HSRP on the FDDI ring receive the refresh packets, although the packets are intended only for the learning bridge or switch. Use this command to change the interval. Set the interval to 0 if you want to prevent refresh packets (if you have FDDI but do not have a learning bridge or switch).

Examples

This example shows how to change the MAC-refresh interval to 100 seconds. In this example, a learning bridge needs to miss three packets before the entry ages out.

ssl-proxy (config-vlan)# standby mac-refresh 100
ssl-proxy (config-vlan)#

(Optional) Required if either the minimum, reload, or sync keywords are specified.

minimum delay

(Optional) Specifies the minimum delay in delay seconds; valid values are from 0 to 3600 seconds (1 hour).

reload delay

(Optional) Specifies the preemption delay after a reload only.

sync delay

(Optional) Specifies the maximum synchronization period in delay seconds.


Defaults

The defaults are as follows:

Modification

SSL Services Module Release 2.1(1)

Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 6500 series switches.


Usage Guidelines

The delay argument causes the local router to postpone taking over the active role for delay (minimum) seconds since that router was last restarted.

When you use this command, the router is configured to preempt, which means that when the local router has a hot standby priority that is higher than the current active router, the local router should attempt to assume control as the active router. If you do not configure preemption, the local router assumes control as the active router only if it receives information indicating no router is in the active state (acting as the designated router).

When a router first comes up, it does not have a complete routing table. If you configure the router to preempt, it becomes the active router, but it cannot provide adequate routing services. You can configure a delay before the preempting router actually preempts the currently active router.

When you use group number 0, no group number is written to NVRAM, providing backward compatibility.

IP-redundancy clients can prevent preemption from taking place. The standby preempt delay sync delay command specifies a maximum number of seconds to allow IP-redundancy clients to prevent preemption. When this expires, preemption takes place regardless of the state of the IP-redundancy clients.

The standby preempt delay reload delay command allows preemption to occur only after a router reloads. This provides stabilization of the router at startup. After this initial delay at startup, the operation returns to the default behavior.

The no standby preempt delay command disables the preemption delay but preemption remains enabled. The no standby preempt delay minimum delay command disables the minimum delay but leaves any synchronization delay if it was configured.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the router to wait for 300 seconds (5 minutes) before attempting to become the active router:

ssl-proxy (config-vlan)# standby preempt delay minimum 300 
ssl-proxy (config-vlan)# 
 
   

standby priority

To configure the priority for HSRP, use the standby priority command. Use the no form of this command to restore the default values.

standby [group-number] priority priority

Syntax Description

group-number

(Optional) Group number on the interface to which the other arguments in this command apply.

priority

Priority value that prioritizes a potential hot standby router; valid values are from 1 to 255, where 1 denotes the lowest priority and 255 denotes the highest priority.


Defaults

The defaults are as follows:

group-number is 0.

priority is 100.

Modification

SSL Services Module Release 2.1(1)

Usage Guidelines

The router in the HSRP group with the highest priority value becomes the active router.

When you use group number 0, no group number is written to NVRAM, providing backward compatibility.

The assigned priority is used to help select the active and standby routers. Assuming that preemption is enabled, the router with the highest priority becomes the designated active router. In case of ties, the primary IP addresses are compared, and the higher IP address has priority.

The priority of the device can change dynamically if an interface is configured with the standby track command and another interface on the router goes down.

Examples

This example shows how to change the router priority:

ssl-proxy (config-vlan)# standby priority 120 
ssl-proxy (config-vlan)#

standby redirects

To enable HSRP filtering of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) redirect messages, use the standby redirects command. Use the no form of this command to disable the HSRP filtering of ICMP redirect messages.

no standby redirects [unknown]

Syntax Description

enable

(Optional) Allows the filtering of ICMP redirect messages on interfaces that are configured with HSRP, where the next-hop IP address may be changed to an HSRP virtual IP address.

disable

(Optional) Disables the filtering of ICMP redirect messages on interfaces that are configured with HSRP.

timers

(Optional) Adjusts HSRP-router advertisement timers.

advertisement

(Optional) HSRP-router advertisement interval in seconds; valid values are from 10 to 180 seconds.

holddown

(Optional) HSRP-router holddown interval in seconds; valid values are from 61 to 3600.

unknown

(Optional) Allows sending of ICMP packets to be sent when the next-hop IP address that is contained in the packet is unknown in the HSRP table of real IP addresses and active virtual IP addresses.


Defaults

The defaults are as follows:

HSRP filtering of ICMP redirect messages is enabled if you configure HSRP on an interface.

advertisement is 60 seconds.

holddown is 180 seconds.

Command Modes

Modification

SSL Services Module Release 2.1(1)

Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 6500 series switches.


Usage Guidelines

You can configure the standby redirects command globally or on a per-interface basis. When you first configure HSRP on an interface, the setting for that interface inherits the global value. If you explicitly disable the filtering of ICMP redirects on an interface, then the global command cannot reenable this functionality.

The no standby redirects command is the same as the standby redirects disable command. We do not recommend that you save the no form of this command to NVRAM. Because the command is enabled by default, we recommend that you use the standby redirects disable command to disable the functionality.

With the standby redirects command enabled, the real IP address of a router can be replaced with a virtual IP address in the next-hop address or gateway field of the redirect packet. HSRP looks up the next-hop IP address in its table of real IP addresses versus virtual IP addresses. If HSRP does not find a match, the HSRP router allows the redirect packet to go out unchanged. The host HSRP router is redirected to a router that is unknown, that is, a router with no active HSRP groups. You can specify the no standby redirects unknown command to stop these redirects from being sent.

Examples

This example shows how to allow HSRP to filter ICMP redirect messages:

ssl-proxy (config-vlan)# standby redirects
ssl-proxy (config-vlan)# 
 
   

This example shows how to change the HSRP router advertisement interval to 90 seconds and the holddown timer to 270 seconds on interface Ethernet 0:

ssl-proxy (config-vlan)# standby redirects timers 90 270
ssl-proxy (config-vlan)#

standby timers

To configure the time between hello packets and the time before other routers declare the active hot standby or standby router to be down, use the standby timers command. Use the no form of this command to return to the default settings.

no standby [group-number] timers [msec] hellotime [msec] holdtime

Syntax Description

group-number

(Optional) Group number on the interface to which the timers apply.

msec

(Optional) Interval in milliseconds.

hellotime

Hello interval (in seconds); see the "Usage Guidelines" section for valid values.

holdtime

Time (in seconds) before the active or standby router is declared to be down; see the "Usage Guidelines" section for valid values.


Defaults

The defaults are as follows:

group-number is 0.

hellotime is 3 seconds.

holdtime is 10 seconds.

Command Modes

Modification

SSL Services Module Release 2.1(1)

Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 6500 series switches.


Usage Guidelines

The valid values for hellotime are as follows:

If you did not enter the msec keyword, valid values are from 1 to 254 seconds.

If you enter the msec keyword, valid values are from 15 to 999 milliseconds.

The valid values for holdtime are as follows:

If you did not enter the msec keyword, valid values are from x to 255 seconds, where x is the hellotime and 50 milliseconds and is rounded up to the nearest 1 second.

If you enter the msec keyword, valid values are from y to 3000 milliseconds, where y is greater than or equal to 3 times the hellotime and is not less than 50 milliseconds.

If you specify the msec keyword, the hello interval is in milliseconds. Millisecond timers allow for faster failover.

The standby timers command configures the time between standby hello packets and the time before other routers declare the active or standby router to be down. Routers or access servers on which timer values are not configured can learn timer values from the active or standby router. The timers configured on the active router always override any other timer settings. All routers in a Hot Standby group should use the same timer values. Normally, holdtime is greater than or equal to 3 times the value of hellotime. The range of values for holdtime force the holdtime to be greater than the hellotime. If the timer values are specified in milliseconds, the holdtime is required to be at least three times the hellotime value and not less than 50 milliseconds.

Some HSRP state flapping can occasionally occur if the holdtime is set to less than 250 milliseconds, and the processor is busy. It is recommended that holdtime values less than 250 milliseconds be used on Cisco 7200 platforms or better, and on Fast-Ethernet or FDDI interfaces or better. Setting the process-max-time command to a suitable value may also help with flapping.

The value of the standby timer will not be learned through HSRP hellos if it is less than 1 second.

When group number 0 is used, no group number is written to NVRAM, providing backward compatibility.

Examples

This example sets, for group number 1 on Ethernet interface 0, the time between hello packets to 5 seconds, and the time after which a router is considered to be down to 15 seconds:

interface ethernet 0
 standby 1 ip 
 standby 1 timers 5 15 
 
   

This example sets, for the hot router interface that is located at 172.19.10.1 on Ethernet interface 0, the time between hello packets to 300 milliseconds, and the time after which a router is considered to be down to 900 milliseconds:

interface ethernet 0
 standby ip 172.19.10.1 
 standby timers msec 300 msec 900 
 
   

This example sets, for the hot router interface that is located at 172.18.10.1 on Ethernet interface 0, the time between hello packets to 15 milliseconds, and the time after which a router is considered to be down to 50 milliseconds. Note that the holdtime is three times larger than the hellotime because the minimum holdtime value in milliseconds is 50.

 standby timers msec 15 msec 50 
 
   

standby track

To configure HSRP to track an object and change the hot standby priority based on the state of the object, use the standby track command. Use the no form of this command to remove the tracking.

standby [group-number] track object-number [decrement priority]

no standby [group-number] track object-number [decrement priority]

Syntax Description

group-number

(Optional) Group number to which the tracking applies.

object-number

Object number in the range from 1 to 500 representing the object to be tracked.

decrement priority

(Optional) Amount by which the hot standby priority for the router is decremented (or incremented) when the tracked object goes down (or comes back up).

group-number

(Optional) Group number on the interface to which the tracking applies.


Defaults

The defaults are as follows:

group-number is 0.

priority is 10.

Command Modes

Release
Modification

SSL Services Module Release 2.1(1)

Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 6500 series switches.


Usage Guidelines

This command ties the hot standby priority of the router to the availability of its tracked objects. Use the track interface or track ip route global configuration command to track an interface object or an IP route object. The HSRP client can register its interest in the tracking process by using the standby track command commands and take action when the object changes.

When a tracked object goes down, the priority decreases by 10. If an object is not tracked, its state changes do not affect the priority. For each object configured for hot standby, you can configure a separate list of objects to be tracked.

The optional priority argument specifies how much to decrement the hot standby priority when a tracked object goes down. When the tracked object comes back up, the priority is incremented by the same amount.

When multiple tracked objects are down, the decrements are cumulative, whether configured with priority values or not.

Use the no standby group-number track command to delete all tracking configuration for a group.

When you use group number 0, no group number is written to NVRAM, providing backward compatibility.

The standby track command syntax prior to Release 12.2(15)T is still supported. Using the older form will cause a tracked object to be created in the new tracking process. This tracking information can be displayed using the show track command.

Examples

This example shows how to track the IP routing capability of serial interface 1/0. HSRP on Ethernet interface 0/0 registers with the tracking process to be informed of any changes to the IP routing state of serial interface 1/0. If the IP state on Serial interface 1/0 goes down, the priority of the HSRP group is reduced by 10.

If both serial interfaces are operational, Router A becomes the HSRP active router because it has the higher priority.

However, if IP routing on serial interface 1/0 in Router A fails, the HSRP group priority is reduced and Router B takes over as the active router, thus maintaining a default virtual gateway service to hosts on the 10.1.0.0 subnet.

Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 6500 series switches.


Usage Guidelines

You can configure multiple standby groups on an interface when you enter the standby use-bia command. Hosts on the interface must have a default gateway configured. We recommend that you set the no ip proxy-arp command on the interface. We also recommend that you configure the standby use-bia command on a Token Ring interface if there are devices that reject ARP replies with source hardware addresses that are set to a functional address.

When HSRP runs on a multiple-ring, source-routed bridging environment and the HRSP routers reside on different rings, configuring the standby use-bia command can prevent confusion about the routing information field (RFI).

Without the scope interface keywords, the standby use-bia command applies to all subinterfaces on the major interface. You cannot enter the standby use-bia command both with and without the scope interface keywords at the same time.

Examples

This example shows how to map the virtual MAC address to the virtual IP address:

ssl-proxy (config-vlan)# standby use-bia
